The name is "Crypto" University, doesn't have anything about cryptography

The blatant repurposing of the University of Oxford's logo isn't going to fly for long, and for a site for "all things crypto", it seems awfully focused on just crypto currencies.

This should've been named "The Royal Bitcoin University" judging from the logo.

Why not just create a course on Coursera or something?

This misuse of the word "crypto" is starting to get irritating, especially from people who pretend to teach others something.

It's like all the self-proclaimed "SEO experts" from a few years ago suddenly decided that they are "crypto experts" despite knowing nothing about cryptology, not even the meaning of the word.

Is this a good value? Has anyone gone through it all yet? (I would like to know).

I am currently going through the Hyperledger tutorial series on edX. It is completely free to access. See https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:LinuxFoundationX+L...

I find that the course material has a large intersection with the edX course. I'm not sure why they need an Indie Gogo Acccount. You can also buy a certificate on edX for $99 but this is optional.
