Demand for Bitcoin online courses explodes by 300%



I think this is one bright side when people are in total lockdown and their attention goes to bitcoin and learning it. This is a good indication that bitcoin could explode in the next coming months and everything related to it, (blockchain, technical analysis courses etc).

The internet really has contributed most of our knowledge of the unknown. Before, we see countries such as Japan and some parts of Europe to be holding classes which are all about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. We say it is for their benefit because it is already part of their economic history. It is a good thing that more and more individuals are taking up online courses, especially those who aren't really inclined with any crypto in their country or community. This will indeed boost the market level of Cryptocurrency and may boom the graph of it once again.

People have so much time at their disposal during these lockdown times. It is good news that many of them are choosing Bitcoin as one of the things they are interested to learn and understand while they still have all the time in the world. Perhaps this x3 growth of Bitcoin online courses demand is just a small number compared to the total number of people who have now delved deeper into Bitcoin through videos and articles online. I just hope this would actually translate into a higher demand of BTC as well.

The question is when are the whole pandemic lock down going to end? 6 months, 12 months 18 months? No one really know the answer. Of course, at the end of the day, people are going to lean towards bitcoin, regardless if you are just an average joe or a big whale in the game.

@Darker45 - yeah, I would hope that this down time will really reflect on bitcoin price in the coming months.

This can help in the adoption of bitcoin but moreover the issues on crisis still at large. Even with lots of people wanted to learn, we cant deny that the problem still persist.

Traders and investors of btc are surely gone low and decreased even with this great news, well we cant really do something to prevent it as people needed cash to supply necessary things for this locked down.

Hoping that the market could survive this mess. Im well supporting the advocation of learning, hope even without this covid issue the rate would continue to increase for those people who are interested to learn.

This is a good chance for the people who promoted bitcoin all this time, now people want to learn and to listen. Maybe they just got bored with the total lockdown almost in the whole world that's why they're looking for something interesting things rather than just solving some math problems. well! they pointed it ou right because not only today they can use that knowledge they will learn rather until the bitcoin era comes when it prices bloom and that time almost everyone knows about it.

One side of good news I guess? Not really surprising though. Most people don't really have the time normally to study BTC intensively after all. They have their family, work, relationships and the like, and most of the time, they just lurk at sites for info for around 1-2 hrs. Not to mention the amount of plausibly false information that they may unintentionally learn, learning can be quite hard if you're just lurking.

At the very least, a spike of people who want to learn BTC would yield its result in the long run. Although it would not reflect on the BTC's price right away considering the factor that you had mentioned but in this time of crisis where the economy of the countries across the world is burdened by the this pandemic then people might reconsider to store some of their wealth in BTC. Of course those who are on middle class and lower would surely withdraw their BTC if the quarantine is dragged for a long time.

That is not surprising news since most of the platforms are offering free courses or big discounts for starting learning. This is bright side of covid19 pandemic (probably the only one, but still)  - people have a lot of time for self-study. But I really want to know if these courses are actually useful for beginners. I mean, there is a lot of free materials in the Internet for a good start in cryptocurrency space. For example, one of my favorite mentors in bitcoin and blockchain Andreas Antonopoulos has good videos and books that explain even complex questions in plain english. I think its better for newcommers to start from there and decide later whether or not they want to buy additional courses.

It is to be expected and I would also expect that a lot of scam would be around at this time even when we are facing a crisis people would take their chance to scam others in order to earn profit so we must be wise and careful.
I also expect that there would be so many online jobs that would open up because of the lock down I think government should try to create something for their people to earn even if they are only at their home.
But it is a good news for us because there are more people who are now interested in Bitcoin the only negative side of the internet is that newbies could have some wrong information about it if they don't have enough guidance.

This is good news, if demand for bitcoin online courses is reach 300% it's also have people who interested in bitcoin reach 300% too. During this pandemic I believe people will search like "how to earn money online" or "how to get money for free" etc.

You can look how people is interested to search earn money online. And many websites including bitcoin to be one of the list from earn money online.

That's true, technology is still being prominent in different countries as well as the cryptocurrency, I think there are so many government in different countries accept the cryptocurrency in their land so some of them offers courses about it, there are already some countries that have program of cryptocurrency in their universities which is really okay for every students, it is better that even though at the young age they are already knowledgeable about cryptocurrency because at the near future cryptocurrency will have a great contibution for us.
There are already some of online courses about cryptocurrency, therr are so many websites where you can try to learn about cryptocurrency, just be patient on choosing the right one.

The increase in the vast number of people engaging into Bitcoin online courses are brought by the quarantine procedures. Outdoor activities are shut down, and people are more likely finding ways in order to improve their skilles. But why Bitcoin online courses? There are other online courses to which people could spend their time in their houses while waiting for things to recover.

According to LinkedIn Learning, In 2019, blockchain-as-a-skill overtook major hard skills including cloud computing, analytical reasoning, artificial intelligence (AI), and user experience (UX) design, becoming the number one hard skill in demand among global employers in 2020.

This simply shows that cryptocurrency is now spreading popularity which developed interests of companies, and many people are now seeking for that opportunity, leading them to study and acquire skills related to blockchain technology.

you will agree with me that this is absolutely the best time to study online and gain valuable knowledge and getting to know that a lot of people are getting to demand bitcoin online courses also indicate the willingness of people to wanting to know more about the cryptocurrencies which might help a lot of people that have the wrong perception about the coin understand better

I hope so. If many people can learn bitcoin from online courses, that can help bitcoin to be spread among them while they stay at home. That will also help the adoption will increase in many countries as we see that many countries still in lockdown time. Online courses will be the best place for them to learn more about bitcoin, and I think that many people who already involved in bitcoin will prepare the lesson so they can give the right information about bitcoin. On the other side, they can also invite more people to come and learn bitcoin online so that it can help people to understand bitcoin from the right information.

This is totally a bright side of crypto as it only means that many wants to know more about crypto like how crypto works,it's usage and etc. If those people will become familiar with crypto, I am pretty sure that they will surely invest in the near future and once it will happen then the demand of the crypto will surely surge together with prices.

I am not so sure though if it is one of the effect of covid 19 as I can see that before corona happened the demand of bitcoin courses are already keep on growing and knowing the exact percentage which is 300%, this is a good opportunity for anyone to also follow the current happenings of the market in order to profit. Though I haven't tried online courses but I am sure that many individuals were being help by this courses to be guided correctly on what they are going to do in order to profit and lessen the risk to their investment.

But in 1-2 hrs, they can somehow learn some basic information about bitcoin most especially the fundamentals about it. Engaging in a bitcoin online courses will make you exercise your ability to seek more information about it and you can enhance the way you manage bitcoin for some essential purposes. Time management is essential and if you really want to learn, you will make a way for it no matter how busy you are. A short period of time learning will help you have some progress from time to time. This is the right time for us to become more knowledgeable about bitcoin as this quarantine is still implemented, we have so much time in our home to study about this because work are also suspended.

this is good news. I'm pretty sure lockdown will make people pay attention to bitcoin for their business. because of that, I think a course to learn about crypto is a pretty good thing. in addition, I also feel that the demand for bitcoin will increase in the following months. this will have an effect even when the lockdown has expired.

I see 2 reasons with why the demand increased.
1. Boredom - they want to spend their time since most of the countries right are in a lockdown and they can't go out to their houses so they want to spend their time and they want to read online courses regarding Bitcoin.
2. Curiosity - since most of the people have so much time browsing the internet, they might see the word Bitcoin or anything related to it as they are browsing and they've decided to make some research of it and aside from that they also purchased Bitcoin online courses.

This can help also the spread of information regarding Bitcoin and crypto in general as more and more people want to learn about it. This can be a great sign for crypto world. Maybe this can help too in its price since some if not all of them will try to invest on it since they are already interested.

Recently I told a friend of mine that, online courses will have a bigger hit this time and he told me that, he's not sure but few weeks into the lockdown he called me that he has more orders than year now. This is just a confirmation of what he told me and am very happy to see this happening at this time of the year(Bitcoin Halving). With this ongoing, there is a possibility of the community to have a huge adoption after this pandemic and new investors are much likely to be see with the community again, like in 2017.

After the end of this pandemic many people will think of creative ways to invest their money and time and online courses and bitcoin are one of the best options out there. The old and traditional ways are now outsmarted by the technology and now anyone can learn new things with the use of courses that are available online.
I also used to go to offline classes for some extra activities that I was interested in but now I have to watch the online classes only due to the pandemic.

There are a few ways through which you can engage yourself in this lockdown phase due to pandemic. I didn't have doubt that people more engaging in the internet while having self-isolation. All online courses are possible their habits now just like my neighborhood, she spends too much time now on her career of being an online tutorial.

Since Bitcoin is very common online and well known that you may earn money with this, probably this is normal now that the demand for Bitcoin online will increase and explode. But they should know also their safety because as of now also there are a lot of scammers hoping for easy money. So, probably during lockdown people are bored and need to explore especially when it comes to technology they are always curious.

Aside from learning and investing in crypto, they will find later on that there are a lot of ways on how to earn crypto especially if they happen to stumble here in the forum. If they will browse the services section alone, they will get the idea on how to earn crypto if they have set of skills like in programming/coding, design, or just participate in bounty programs. And going around in this forum will already give you tons of knowledge and information that you can't get from any crypto website.

But seeing the demand for bitcoin online courses go up, it means at least some of them will be crypto users very soon. More crypto users, more demand, hence, in the near future, contributing in the increase of bitcoin's price in the market.

It could be they are already learning the bitcoin trading because its what mostly would do when they are investing in BTC. Coders had wide range of industry to look at not just in crypto but its also up to the kind of programming language they are skilled the most. Solidity isn't widely taught in the classroom but I can see there is solidity programming for ETH course.

There is an economic analysis to this trend.

1. The coronavirus pandemic has caused a global recession which translates to financial crisis.
2. It has led to the loss of employment, source of livelihood gone.
3. People and businesses are trying to pivot in such a way that is sustainable.

One of skills to learn and earn this time is crypto trading. This is why there is a surge in the price of crypto courses.

As long as the online courses are free, I am sure that it will attract many people to learn. People can learn bitcoin from many sources, and yes, with the online courses about bitcoin will help them to know what they need before they invest in the cryptocurrency. Maybe they need some time to understand the process, but it won't take too long if they can start after they finish the basic lesson of bitcoin. The exploding of the new user will happen soon when many online courses give the same thing, and that will be available in every country.

Even before the pandemic crisis there are a lot of online class, and online platform that is supporting the course of learning about the bitcoin and all of the things included into cryptocurrency, and today it is quite good because now we can make a lot of time to make study while we are on quarantine because of these online courses I know in udemy you need to pay some of their bonus courses that is deeply learning on the specific course still you need to do that to explore more and if you don't want to pay is there are some sources does not require payment transactions.

The curiosity alone may be the reason why the demand increased by now. People are on their home taking their time to self isolate, most probably holding their phone scrolling to their feeds, sees about cryptocurrency which is very abundant in advertisements and gets curious about it. They are about to realize how important the crypto is in the future days. This is a another chance for every one to grab this opportunity and start earning even at home. I can't take this coz I suck at teaching lol

The main purpose is to educate so obviously people will learn about cryptocurrency and blockchain. A really good impact for crypto will be felt soon.

Yes OP is right that new adoption rate can take place in crypto space in the coming months but believe me many still fears the technology because if scammers, some people don't even want to take risks at all

Good to know that people are specifically interested in bitcoin courses rather than being interested in blockchain courses first.
I thought people are only wasting their time on the internet in this pandemic because many people in my country are only wasting their time on social media playing games and making videos. Good to know that there are people who are interested in learning as well.

Remember: demand for online courses =/= BTC demand and moon and lambos. Also, interesting how there are no changes on Google trends:
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&q=BITCOIN and https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&q=cryptocurrency
I mean, I would expect to see at least a small increase in those charts if such big sites like Coursera and Udemy are "reporting" a massive increase in interest around BTC and cryptocurrency.

Honestly, I would advise people take this "news" with a grain of salt. The whole article is based on "someone said" and "they told us", I would've loved to see the actual sources mentioning this increase in demand, it would've made those insane numbers (300%, 200%) look a bit more legit.

Btw, a bit funny how for some odd reason the author included the opinion of an unknown photographer (probably to give him some publicity?). And what's with that final part about coronavirus and 5G? Was it necessary? Looks a bit out of place to me. Such a weird acticle.

apart from the obvious reason of people being stuck at home and having a lot of time at hand, the other reason is that bitcoin is performing well despite the drop that we had weeks ago. other markets are still struggling and dumping, some of them hard, but bitcoin had the drop weeks ago and has been rising ever since. we are even up nearly 80% from the bottom of the price that was reached. that is 80% pure profit for anyone who entered there considering these days there isn't any market to make profit from.

The situation is not limited to BTCitcoin but certain universities are providing online courses during this lock down period and you can get certification and this is the best time for everyone to learn new things as everyone have a lot of time on their hand to learn new things but this does not mean that BTCitcoin could explode in the coming months because it all depends upon the economic situation after an extensive lock down which will not be great.

Yup, even before now I was already expecting a surge in that area of education, because there was starting to be an increase in the demand for Blockchain engineers. A report by LinkedIn showed that a lot of companies these days are searching engineers that are good in Blockchain.

So, when there is an increase in the demand for that, people will be driven to learn about Blockchain so that they can be able to get a job that is related with Blockchain. And just like you have said, once Blockchain starts Trending, the attention of people will also be drawn to bitcoin. So, this is very good.

Because of the lockdown, people looked for something lucrative and that's one thing that they have resorted with. And that is to look for bitcoin "courses".

They've heard of bitcoin before and about it's all time high rates but this lockdown forced them to know more about it. I like the exposure that bitcoin is getting these days and even the time when this pandemic is gone, exposure and recognizing will increase.

This is not surprising. Bitcoin has performed well in the crisis and besides, people are now sitting at home.

I hope that this courses is not a total shit and they can teach people something useful
