The world is changing: unprecedented disruption looms on the horizon as the loci and tools of power shift away from their traditional epicentres. Bitcoin and Blockchain technology are ushering in a new era – an era of freedom. Freedom to make a choice (a far more logical choice) where one has full control and does not need to ask permission from anyone. To its creators, and to its rapidly growing ranks of disciples, Bitcoin is, and always has been, a mostly ideological undertaking, more philosophy than science. Bitcoin has the power to include those who have been purposefully excluded; to shine light in the darkest corners; and to liberate those who have been held in chains by old world financial systems.
In my sessions, I will tie together the many elements at play and the effects that this new way of storing value will have on business, governance and economics. I will challenge your conceptual understanding of trust, ownership and trade by comparing and contrasting the designs and architectures of old systems vs new systems. I will show that through the use of economic incentives and cryptography, we can create decentralized autonomous organizations. These new organizations will be run through rules encoded as computer programs instead of institutions and middlemen. Since Blockchain encompasses various fields such as computer science, cryptography, game theory and economics, it is easy to get lost in trying to make sense of it. If you need help with this and truly want to understand, then I invite you to join one of my lessons.
This is the most important lesson I teach as it explains the roots and basic principles of Bitcoin, Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies. I will dive into the philosophy and ideology behind this movement and show you how this ‘Internet of Value’ will challenge and disrupt every industry.
This lesson will focus on security and buying your first bitcoin. I will help secure your computer, teach you security and back-up protocols and choose the right wallet(s). We will walk through all the necessary precautions that you need to take to protect and secure your assets.
This lesson is meant for those who wish to get into trading and investing in initial coin offerings (ICO’s). We will focus again on security and back-up protocols and procedures. Other topics during this lesson are exchanges, ICO research and sources of information that can be used to find interesting investments.
If you require more privacy, would like to organize this for a group of friends, your club or organization, then please get in touch for more information. Many times, my presentations are combined with a dinner and drinks in a private room of either a restaurant or hotel. These sessions lend themselves for more in-depth conversations on specific topics. One on one sessions are also available if you desire 100% attention and privacy.
Blockchain is everywhere and is sure to have a major impact on virtually every industry. Therefore, gaining a deeper understanding of how this technology works, the benefits, and the threats it could pose, can enable an organization to use this knowledge to its advantage. Being an early adaptor in this world is a very powerful competitive advantage. If you want to broaden the horizon and expand the knowledge of your company, department or team, use the below form.
Sharing my knowledge and experience with students and educational institutions is by far the greatest joy I get out of teaching. I believe fundamental knowledge about this technology to be essential in whatever career path you will decide on. These sessions can be organised together with schools and universities or through student organisations. If you are interested in organising a session, use the below form to get in touch.
It is of utmost importance to realize that when stepping into this world and becoming your own “bank”, you also are becoming your own security and IT security department. The responsibility of protecting (access to) your assets lies completely with you and therefore one must proceed with caution and care. In this lesson I will guide you through the essential steps to secure your computer.
In this lesson I will show why Blockchain is the greatest innovation since the invention of the internet and the most valuable technology the world has ever seen. To truly grasp the potential and impact, it is imperative to have a basic understanding of the various elements that enable these decentralized organisations and applications.
Fantastic Expert advice on this subject that has the potential to change to world! For sure worth learning more.
I enjoyed Colin's lecture at the UvA. He was knowledgeable and explained the basics of blockchain and cryptocurrencies quite well. Although he was good at explaining, he did only explain the basics. There was no criticism regarding the bitcoin, which I thought was not extremely realistic.
Had the chance to go to one of Colin's sessions in Amsterdam, really nice and wholesome presentation on blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Had the opportunity to meet Colin afterwards and ask him some additional questions, such a helpful person! Really glad to have had this experience.
na wat 1e stappen in Cryptolandschap de basisclinic bij Colin gevolgd.
Duidelijke uitleg over wat Blockchain is en de veiligheid eromheen.
veel basiskennis die je nodig hebt om verdere stappen te kunnen nemen.
I had the pleasure with some of my best friends to attend Colin's Masterclass Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies on November 23 at the University of Amsterdam. Colin is not only a passionate speaker but also has thorough knowledge of this fascinating and new technology called blockchain. Supported with "visual effects", he has the ability to give a clear and accessible presentation in spite of the difficult technical details that block chain technology often entails. His humour, excellent English and passion make Colin indispensable for anyone who is interested in this intriguing new world. I would highly recommend him!
Very nice lecture on cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Energizing speaker who is more than willing to share all his knowledge!
I attended the masterclass organized by ASIF at UVA yesterday and it was very informative. Especially the part about the different utalisations for the blockchain, apart from the decentralised transfer of value and its relation to other stores of value such as derivativs or gold. The only thing i missed was an opportunity to ask questions afterwards.
Experienced a great presentation by Colin at the UvA passed Thursday.
Complicated stuff about the world of cryptocurrency, bitcoin and the blockchain has been explained to me and my peers in a very understandable way.
He can explain very clearly how and why these fairly new ways of dealing with products and money is on the rise and going to be big. Definitely a recommendation for anybody who wants to learn more about how this technology works and what it's potential is.
I attended a very one-sided presentation about bitcoins and the blockchain technology at the University of Amsterdam. There wasn't one point of criticism in the entire presentation towards these subjects, Neither was there an academic atmosphere with room for debate or questions. The explanation of how blockchain and crypto's work was okay, but nothing more than most Youtube video's about this subject.
An utterly clear presentation about the current crypto economic and interesting facts about the history and current situation of our monetary system. A must see for every person considering investing in the cryptocoins!
Colin can perfectly describe the Blockchain and Bitcoin developments, using clear examples and nice slides. His ability to both highlight the economical side as well as the technical side without spending to much time on both was amazing. He made it very clear why Blockchain is here to stay!
Attended a compelling masterclass tonight, sponsored by Amsterdam Student Investment Fund. Colin was a very captivating and informative presenter, he held my attention the entire time although Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies are not the simplest topics for me to comprehend. Really enjoyed the content and learned a lot. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks again!
We just started in investing in cryptocurentie, and we wanted to learn more about blockchain and cryptocurentie , that’s why we sing up for his master class at the HVU.

So we recommend to join the interesting masterclasses of Colin! Thank you for this masterclass!
Last week we had a great introduction on Blockchain and Crypto Currencies, Colin’s explanation is very clear and entertaining. Our group was a mix of crypto newbies and people with a broader understanding of the Blockchain possibilities, both parties learned allot and had a great time during the session.
This was, by far, the most informative and inspiring bitcoin lesson I have ever taken. Not only did the speaker provide the information in a clear and approachable manner, but he was also able to awakened a belief in a brighter future. Choosing to follow this course = choosing to have a choice. Therefore, highly recommended!
Colin is a fun, energetic and knowledgable teacher that translates crypto, bitcoin and blockchain into understandable content, no matter your background.
Last Thursday I joined Colin's Bitcoin lesson in Amsterdam. It was really well planned, clear and interesting! I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in learning more or discovering the Blockchain world!
An excellent setting to learn about blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and bitcoin. Absolutely recommend to everyone who wants to expand their knowledge about these topics from a passionate, professional, and great speaker, Collin.
Had a fun and educational evening while following the first lesson by Colin. The translation about the world of bitcoin and cryptoeconomics was clear, by simplify the explanations and using nice visuals of the facts. Thanks!
Colin's introduction into blockchain technology and cryptocurrency was very thorough and informative and got me set up to purchase my first bitcoin in no-time!

A totally new concept for me! I think this is the future of trading values, so everyone should have a look. Thank you Collin it was really useful!
Last week I joined a first lesson about cryptos. Although I am not a newbie and could have better joined lesson 2 I was surprised by the clearness of Colins presentation. You could see he put a lot of effort in creating this first lesson. Furthermore Colin has a lot of patience so he is more than willing to anser all your questions. Even if it's a few hundred (that was more or less the number of questions our newbie group had :)). Definitely contact him if you want to step into the world of cryptocurrencies!
Colin delivered a very informative lesson to me in NYC. He gave me important insights into the basic functionings of cryptocurrencies and their differences to standard forms of currencies. At times however the embrace of bitcoin as revolutionary force seemed a bit too enthusiastic. Adding some critical voices as well might further an understanding of the ups and downs, the limits and possibilities, of cryptocurrencies. I understand of course that this is difficult to achieve in just one lesson. Other than that, great lesson and highly recommendable!
Colin really opened my eyes about the industry and the potential beyond day-trading! He layed everything out pretty easy to understand.
Colin lecture was my first introduction in to the exciting world of bitcoin, blockchain, mining and all the other goodness that builds the new digital financial reality. Colin has a catching way of presenting and inspired me to start my next baby steps in to this new world!
The provided guidelines and Colins advice were also extremely helpful in setting up everything in a safe and most possible easy way, to start off right with my new investments. Thanks Colin!!
Leuke leerzame avond gehad bij Colin. Weet het boeiend te vertellen, geeft leuke voorbeelden en besteed aandacht aan de juiste onderdelen, vooral security wordt behandeld. Kan het zeker aanraden!
Gives you a very good insight into the fundamentals of blockchain technology, common practices and ways to start investing.
really helpful as a first step into a new dawn.
Colin's introduction class gave me a great basic insight into the world of blockchain technology and crypto-currency. He's very passionate about the subject and an energetic teacher. I came into the class knowing absolutely nothing, and left enthusiastic and hungry for more!
I was kind of clueless when it came to cryptocurrency. After having been informed by Collin i learned so much in such a short time. It was explained efficiently en clear! Would really recommend going to his seminar if your interest lies here or you are just curious and open minded like myself.
Bictone gave me a great introductory seminar into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. If you are interested in blockchain and crypto, but have a hard time to figure out were to start I highly recommend it. Colin is an excellent teacher and presenter and thoroughly explains everything. I'll definitely be contacting him in the future for the one on one course.
I had a very interesting lesson from Colin. He really knows his stuff and is extremely enthusiastic. An expert in projecting that enthusiasm onto others. He's given a brutally honest truth about Bitcoins and Etherium, so no tricks to lure you in, which is something I admire. Many thanks!
For someone with an above average interest in the digital world in general, I felt like a child in a candy store. Cryptocurrency is very interesting brain food if you ask me. Because Colin talked about it with so much enthusiasm and conviction, it becomes even more intriguing. With a clear explanation and vision, Colin takes you to the wonderful world of cryptocurrency that can be comprehensible and accessible to all!
Jumped into the world of krypto currency completely blindfolded. Which was very interesting and adventurous but I was definitely ready for some fine tuning. Collin showed me a different way to secure my investment safely. I highly recommend anyone jumping in the world of bitcoins to get the basics together with Collins help!
The world of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to me always seemed vary complicated.
But the lesson with Colin was vary clear, he explain all aspects on this world.
I recommend to anyone who wants to understand this world to go to a class with Colin.
Have to say that i was very surprised by the outcome of Colin's lesson.
Being quite the layman on this subject, i learned many new things: safe to say that my interest has been sparked!
Colin, being a cognoscenti in cryptocurrency is an amusing and informative teacher. His wide knowledge (and sense of humor) makes the lessons worth your while. Overall the experience was well worth 5 stars!
Ontzettend veel info vergaard over het hele fenomeen cryptocurrency. Colin legt alles heel goed uit, ook als je nul verstand van zaken hebt. Sterk verhaal en een goeie leraar. Mega aanrader!
it is the future! i really believe in bitcoin and having Colin as a teacher was great since he really explains everything from the basics .
I ' m already earning money on it i feel so happy!
Goede en duidelijke hands-on aanpak over blockchain en wat je er mee kan doen. Belangrijk punt is de veiligheid, wat Colin ook zeer serieus neemt. Dit maakt Bitcone voor mij de juiste aanpak voor het meer kennis opdoen in de cryptocurrency wereld.
The introduction course made me see the importance and endless possibilities of the blockchain technology. Also interesting to just expand your knowledge on the topic.
To me, the world of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies always seemed very vague and complicated. The lessons from Colin however gave me perfect understanding of this fascinating world. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious and really made me want to learn more and more. Colin, thanks a lot!!
Colin can explain all aspects of the world of cryptocurrency really clearly and straight to point. From security to exchanges to ICO's, he helps you setup and thrive in this new internet of value.
Colin opened our world for crypto currency.
We did not know what is was aal about but now we know what to do and how to trade and save the coins.
The lessons were fun and open and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Colin thank you very much for the insight into the world of the cryptos.
For those who just like me are basically illiterate on a computer but would like to know more about cryptocurrency and working with them in a save way, Colin is the man who can tell you how to do just that!
For too long i've seen people around me making massive profits with BC and other Crypto-coins, but I never knew where and how to start.
These classes give you a basic insight on how to start understanding the technologies and how to secure your systems to start investing and trading in a save way!
Colin's crypto currency classes are great to follow. He's is a great professional and takes the time to explain the students attending the seminar all the things you should know before you should start trading with crypto currency. They depth and guidance provided by him during the lessons is invaluable.!
Colin opened up my eyes to a brave new world of cryptocurrency. His lessons are on point yet at the same time the grand narrative of blockchain technology is taken into account. After the first lesson is when the real fun starts. Colin keeps his clients updated on current and future investment possibilities with excellent after sales service.
Learned a lot during Colin’s masterclasses, can really recommend to follow one if you want to get introduced to this amazing world of crypto!
Enthousiasm, impatience and inspirement are the keywords that left behind after Colins presentation. If you're interested in what's is yet to come regarding our present financial system, a new financial/value system and possibilities in the future, I could recommend this highly.
Colin gave us a detailed and inspiring introduction into Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Also his enthousiasm is quite contagious!
Very informative introduction to the crypto currency universe! Had two lessons and really learned a lot. Colin is a great teacher with loads of energy and enthusiasm.
This year instead of giving your employees a lame “Kerstpakket” for Christmas, which includes mostly items nobody really needs nor wants (such as a candle holder, canned olives and cheesy crackers *), surprise them with something truly valuable and original.
Crypto Christmas is the perfect gift for the employer who believes in the power of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology and wishes to share this. It combines the gift of knowledge with something that holds value today and is projected to increase in value the incoming years.
The most valuable part of the gift is the lesson where I will explain the roots and basic principles of Bitcoin, Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies. I will dive into the philosophy and ideology behind this movement and show how this ‘Internet of Value’ will challenge and disrupt every industry. As part of the lesson I will guide your employees with safely setting set up their wallet.
