Binance Launches a Crypto Education Platform
Cryptocurrency Exchange Giant Launches Their Own Academy
The biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance announced the launch of the educational platform focused on informing their users about the basics of cryptocurrencies, called Binance Academy.
The Importance of Education is Paramount
With the rising popularity of cryptocurrencies among the average population, many financially uneducated investors began using various cryptocurrency exchanges.
Since education is, usually, the key to success, cryptocurrency trading demands a certain level of knowledge for the investors to be able to deduce a good investment from a bad one.
Binance is Looking to Help Investors
Binance Academy is, in fact, a place where investors can get all the answers in one place. A series of articles and videos, some provided by the company, will be focused on delivering a higher level of understanding of cryptocurrencies to the average Joe, who will, in turn, be able to utilize their newly acquired knowledge on Binance trading platform.
“Binance Academy’s mission is to proliferate knowledge about the power of blockchain and cryptocurrencies by offering comprehensive and easily accessible educational content to onboard the world, one video view and one article read at a time,” stated Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance.
The content and material will be updated continuously to complement the fast-paced evolution of the industry as it moves forward.
The Academy Asks for Feedback and Submissions
In their official announcement, Binance revealed that the Academy will not be a one-way street platform.
As the Academy is in the open beta state, the Malta-based company is looking for feedback and submissions from the community, which is also supported by the Binance Academy Telegram group.
Some of the topics already covered by the Academy are:
- How Does Blockchain Work?
- What Is a Coin Burn?
- How to Keep Your Private Keys Safe
- What Is the Binance Ecosystem?
