Cert. on BLOCKCHAIN - U of Nicosia

1.6K followers

In December, 2017 I finished this course and found it so useful, that I have enrolled again for the period Feb 12 to Apr 15, 2018.This time I am forming a study group here in Edmonton, Alberta to meet on Sunday mornings to compare notes, keep each other motivated and discuss cryptocurrencies investment strategies.

Introduction to Digital Currencies is the first of 9 required courses for a M.Sc, in Digital Currencies from the University of Nicosia, Cyprus. They market the M.Sc. by giving the first required course free and then charging $2,276 CAN (1,510 Euros, $1,817 US) for each of the remaining 8 courses. Five of the remaining courses are compulsory and 3 are electives (or 1 elective and a thesis/project).

The courses are all in English and given thru Distant Learning. They are targeted at an audience of entrepreneurs, bankers, development experts, regulatory officials, computer scientists aspiring to managerial roles and those seeking academic knowledge (technical & financial) necessary for specialists in this area. There is a serious shortage of qualified candidates for high paying jobs in all aspects of the industry. The demand for teachers/profs in colleges & universities for courses will expand as fast as the cryptocurrencies have increase in value.

The M.Sc. also provides the foundation for admission to a Doctoral Degree.

Given your education on the topic, Roger, you might be an important resource to WA members.

Could you enlighten us a bit about Crypto mining - both the legitimate and hacking variety? It turns out that there are members doing mining, and other members who have sites that were hacked for use by miners: What should all of us know about crypto mining and how it could help or hurt our businesses?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Although I am interesting in Crypto mining, I have just not found time to research it in detail. My biggest concern is limited to trying to make sure that someone isn't using my computer to mine against my will.

The only way I know to be completely safe is to pull the power cord each night.

My main priorities are to research individual digital currencies for investment purpose and the blockchain for all its uses.

I have invested in HIVE a Canadian stock that is quite involved in mining in Iceland and Sweden, but done nothing personally. If I could mine through promoting a Crypto i was invested in, I would.

Just found there are many ways to earn Bitcoin with out investing money, but the amounts are small and it all takes time. My time is probably better spent learning about and researching new Blockchains and Cryptos, and then speculating. What do you think?
Roger

I don't know enough about crypto mining to have the basis for an opinion. I understand that bitcoin mining uses a lot of computing power and energy, and is attractive to hackers who can do it by hijacking computers of others. Beyond that I'm clueless as to how it works, how it pays off or what sort of business it is for those who are doing it without stealing computing power from others.

I trust that your opinion about the best way to use your crypto education for making money is solid, or at least is WAY more informed than mine. If I had crypto cash today, I'd quickly convert it to something less volatile like penny pot stocks or palladium futures contracts... :-)

I like to stack gold and silver, and even have one Platinum coin for the rainy days ahead. Wish I had more Platinium as I believe it is a good store of value and has been neglected by investors.

. For stock I have lots of gold, silver and uranium mining stock which will hopefully do well in the next 2 or 3 years. And like you I have a pot stock - Invictus.

Souns like cool curses to attend

To me they are cool to the millennials and younger generations, and useful for me. The courses related to the blockchain (basis of all cryptocurrencies) is what is really important and will affect everyone of us.

Roger, knowledge of crypto definitely leads to $€, at least for oncoming decades. Regardless of many skeptics around the globe. I am sure that your invested money will pay back many times. I know little about it but in spite of this right now I making money by mining with Antmier s9. Doing it no so much knowledge needed but I am constantly learning. Recently I came across with local (Latvian) crypto project. I'm not going to reveal details to anyone yet but looks very honest and promising. Risk? Any investment is more or less risky event. Great to hear that people are learning no matter of ages.

Hopefully I will be able to make less risky investment in Cryptos as a result, but most of all I would like to see that my efforts motivated my grandchildren to following and learning all about their passion. I also hope to motivate other seniors to realize it is never to late to take on new learning challenges.

Roger what an excellent achievement. You're in a very diversified area of concentration. I must say, cyprocurrency is the new trend now, and for the future.

Continued Success!

Thanks. I am very happy with what was accomplished.

Good work, Roger.
You are making a high risk investment, but the education investment is much lower risk than the currencies themselves. I suspect it will have a great payout, especially if Russia or some other government embraces the technology.
Steve

The cryptocurrencies which are built on a blockchain are the big risk as you say. Educating oneself as to blockchain technology is personally rewarding for me as a learner and, if I learn more about digital currencies, financially as an investor.

David,
Thanks. It was worth the hours and at last I have something on the Blockchain - can be verified by U of Nicosia by following the instructions at the bottom of the page, imutable and forever. I believe it won't be long and we will using at WA. After all it is used for smart contracts and being proposed to keep politicians honest.
Roger

This is great Roger! Congrats on your achievement!
David
