About This Course

Hello Everyone!

My name is Zac Hartley and I have been trading Crypto Currencies for about 2 years now. I started out in the Stock Market but Crypto has a lot of advantages that I want to share with you in this course!

We are going to start off with the basics and I am going to show you how to build a crypto portfolio as well as short term trade based on technical analysis. Here are the topics we will cover:

How does crypto work Bitcoin and other popular coins How to send/receive crypto How to invest and build a portfolio How to day trade or swing trade any crypto How to stake your crypto for extra income

My goal is to keep things as simple as possible so that you understand how things work and how to use the different tools at your disposal.

I am looking forward to starting this journey with you and I hope you will give me a shot!

Best regards,

Zac

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    Crypto still scares me to do some trading, analysis of trading was very helpful. I thought I read that BNB could be traded with almost any other coin, ,but I got that questions wrong? Maybe I missed something?
