How long does it take?
About 40 minutes of video in total, in lessons of under five minutes each, plus a few short quizzes. Most people take a week: a lesson or two a day, plus the short "Try this" step after each one.
Do I have to buy any crypto?
No. Lesson 6 walks you through an optional practice run with a very small amount, only when you're ready. You can finish the course without buying anything.
I'm not good with technology. Is that a problem?
No. That's exactly who it's for. Everything is in plain English, and the lesson slides are made to read easily on a phone.
Is this financial advice?
No. Foundations is general education. It won't tell you what to buy, and nothing in it is a recommendation.
How do I watch it?
After you pay, you'll get an email with your login. The course sits in your account at members.thecryptonian.net, on any phone, tablet or computer.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Lesson 1 is on this page. Lessons 1 and 2 are also free in The Open Room, our free community: join free, log in at members.thecryptonian.net, and open the learning tab in The Open Room.
Is the price in pounds or dollars?
US dollars. Your bank converts it automatically at checkout.
What's your refund policy?
Access is instant, so all sales are final once access has been granted. If you haven't accessed anything and think you've been charged in error, email [email protected] within 7 days of purchase and we'll look at it individually. This doesn't affect your statutory rights.
You are not late.
Ten short lessons, one calm week, and a Starter Pack to keep. One payment of $19.

Crypto is high risk. Prices can fall sharply, and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Foundations is general education, not financial, tax or legal advice. Crypto, the apps and the rules around them change quickly; the course was last reviewed in September 2026.
