Value Proposition

Blockchains are ultimately secured by financial self-interest (game theory) and he/she who has the most information is able to play the game best.

If you're in crypto it's your best interest to learn the skill of chain analysis.

Instead of trusting everything an influencer tells you, why not know how to verify for yourself and be able to do your own research?

Although blockchain data is mostly publicly available, learning how to access it better and draw the correct conclusions can give you an edge over other crypto investors.

We are so early in crypto that easy user interfaces for chain analysis have not yet been invented. Congrats. This course is designed to give you concrete examples of how to use chain analysis, starting with basics through intermediate levels and creating the foundation to understand more of the complexities of game theory and your own crypto psychology.

"The Mother of All Skills"

Chain Analysis is a blockchain skill that can allow you to:

• see for yourself why the price is going up or going down,
• be aware of and optimize your privacy behavior,
• facilitate accounting for tax or bragging purposes,
• increase your confidence in investing by interpreting the behavior of the largest holders (whales),
• increase the accountability of the projects you give money to,
• understand pool/sacrifice game theory to know how to get the most bonus points from your sacrifice,
• have a better foundation for learning more complex game theory,
• make crypto more exciting and be entertained.

Every level of understanding of chain analysis is valuable, because it helps you to verify any behavior on-chain and to do your own research.

I've even found crypto that I didn't know I had and gotten thousands of dollars of airdrops using chain analysis.

Learning Objectives

• Start by learning or reviewing the basics of following crypto transactions on-chain.
• Note where interpretation goes wrong; limitations and probabilistic inference, applying critical thinking and psychology to interpret wallet behaviors.

• Sample real world examples from the following content areas:

1. PulseHotList Sacrifice Analysis (also a DYOR tool that compliments chain analysis)
2. True Crime: The largest hack in Hex history and how this could be misinterpreted
3. Tracking other Whale behavior
4. Exploring the HEX origin address (OA) and granddaughter addresses

• Identify and strengthen your use of tools for Chain Analysis:

1. Multi-chain block explorers: Etherscan, Zerion, etc.
2. Community resources: Best Telegram groups.
3. Organizing information: Spreadsheets, note-taking, etc.
4. Software to semi-automate tax record keeping.
5. Ways to increase privacy and trade-offs.
