Stablecoins and Spending Crypto

What a stablecoin is and when it stops being stable, who holds your money in an app, what happens when you pay with a card, where yield comes from, and what a tokenized stock really is.

7 lessons

Most people meet crypto through a dollar token, an app balance and a card, not through a wallet they control. This course explains that side: how a stablecoin holds its value and the ways it has failed, the difference between an account and a wallet, what actually happens when you spend crypto at a shop, where an advertised yield comes from and how those products collapsed in 2022, and what you own when you buy a tokenized stock. No product recommendations, no rates to chase.
