Title: Mastering Smart Contracts: Free Online Course or $100K Coding Bootcamp?

Hey guys, I've been diving into smart contract development and I'm torn between two extremes - a free online course or splurging on a $100K coding bootcamp. Both options claim to teach you the skills you need to create and deploy high-quality smart contracts. Which one should I choose?

"I'd say go with the free online course, there's some solid stuff out there and it'll at least give you a taste of what smart contracts can do without breaking the bank. Plus, you can always self-study and learn more on your own after that. Anyone tried some of the free resources online?"

"Dude, I think the free online course route is where it's at. You can get a solid intro to smart contracts from platforms like Coursera or edX without breaking the bank. Plus, it's a great way to test the waters before committing to something pricey like a coding bootcamp."

"Idk if I'd pay $100k for a bootcamp, but a free online course could be a good starting point. I've seen some solid courses on Udemy and Coursera, like 'Smart Contract Development with Solidity' on Udemy - it's only a few bucks. Anyone else got some fave online resources for smart contract learning?"

"Dude, I'd say the free online course on Solidity by Solidity School is a great starting point. It's free, comprehensive, and you can't beat that. Plus, it's on Udemy and Coursera, so you can get credits too."

"Y'all, I'd say go with the free online course at first, it's not gonna break the bank and will give you a solid foundation. I took the one on Udemy and I'm not a pro developer, but it gave me a great intro to smart contracts. Plus, it's always a good idea to try out the waters before diving deeper into something expensive"

"Dude, I just took a free online course on Coursera about smart contracts and it was pretty chill. The instructor went over basics of Solidity, gas costs, and deployment, which I found super helpful. Don't know about the $100K bootcamp, but I wouldn't wanna spend that unless you're planning to launch a DeFi empire"

"Been through the free online course route myself and gotta say, it was a solid intro to smart contracts. If you're looking to put your knowledge into practice and build some real-world projects, it might be worth splurging on the coding bootcamp. Either way, it's a good investment for anyone serious about blockchain dev."

"Personally, I'd say the free online course is a solid start for beginners, but if you're serious about mastering smart contracts, the $100K bootcamp might be more worth it. I mean, think about all the money you'll save on Ethereum gas fees alone. Anyone have experience with the free course, what are your thoughts?"
