How the crypto market is actually built: coins and stablecoins, exchanges and wallets, spot order books, perpetual futures with funding and liquidation math, on-chain and tokenomics basics, and the scams and tax rules that catch beginners. No hype, no coin picks, just the mechanics.

Module 3: Spot trading mechanics
Order books, maker and taker fees, order types, slippage on thin coins, unit sizing math, DCA versus trading, and tax lots.
Module 4: Perpetual futures
How perps track spot through funding, mark versus index price, the liquidation table by leverage, cross versus isolated margin, and why 50x is a coin flip.
Module 5: Crypto-specific analysis
On-chain basics, the halving, BTC dominance, correlation with equities, narratives and cycles, and how to read a tokenomics page.
Module 6: Staying safe and sane
Rug pulls, honeypots, phishing, influencer pumps, airdrop scams, KYC and tax reality, and a risk plan plus journal built for a volatile asset.
