This course is for people who have completed modules 1-5 or have a good understanding of cryptocurrencies. Advanced cryptocurrency analysis will broaden your understanding of the bitcoin transaction protocol and how transactions are associated by using clustering methods. We will explore the many ways in which crypto users can leverage technology to obfuscate their payment trails. This course will also examine evolving protocols that will likely impact Bitcoin, events that have led up to their development, and what protocols the Bitcoin community is moving away from.
