✍️ A Note from the Author

I created this course because I watched too many brilliant accountants feel sidelined by the confusing terminology of digital assets. My goal is to bridge that gap by connecting the underlying technology to the reporting standards you already use every day. We'll move past the hype to look at how these tools actually function within a business framework.
