Bitcoin & Crypto: The Basics

Class Description

Sean McCarthy

This class is for those who are curious about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency but know little about it. In this introductory course, you will learn the basics about this currency including what it is, how it works, how to use it, how to store it safely, different types of “wallets” and custodial options, as well as the new Bitcoin retirement funds. You’ll leave with a general understanding of this relatively new and unique asset class. Sean was an early investor in Bitcoin and crypto and has been involved in the asset class for over eight years. He has utilized nearly every exchange, every popular wallet, and through his experience, he can answer any Bitcoin or crypto-related questions that you might have. Sean has been a physics teacher at Newburyport High School for over ten years.
