What’s fueling the explosion of crypto courses on Udemy and who’s really cashing in?

Feels like every random influencer and their dog is dropping a "masterclass" on Udemy right now to chase a quick bag. Is this actually helping newbies or are the instructors the only ones cashing in on the bull run hype? Curious if anyone’s actually found value in these or if it’s just noise.

Honestly, I think it's a mix of both crypto newbies and seasoned investors looking to pad their resumes or gain an edge in the market. Udemy's cheap and flexible course model is a perfect playground for both scammers and knowledgeable instructors trying to cash in on the crypto craze.

it seems like there's a huge opportunity for scammers to capitalize on the crypto newbie hype - a lot of these courses are probably just rehashed YouTube tutorials or selling get-rich-quick schemes. I've seen a ton of Udemy instructors popping up with basic blockchain courses and claiming to have '10+ years of experience' for a few hundred bucks.

I think it's no surprise that people are jumping on the crypto bandwagon by creating courses on Udemy, the real question is are these courses actually providing value or just a money grab, either way someone's making a killing off of it. I've seen some of these courses and to be honest, I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for 'em let alone the $100+ many are charging.

It’s mostly influencers trying to snag a quick bag after missing the actual pump. Half the content is just recycled YouTube garbage, but they know the hype will sell. Honestly, Udemy is probably the only one really winning here.

It’s basically a modern gold rush where everyone’s selling shovels. Most of that content is just recycled Twitter alpha anyway, so the instructors are definitely the ones making the bag. Save your cash and DYOR instead.
