Coinbase Earn $6 FREE - Algorand Questions and Answers

By Nevsie | Beginner in Crypto | 4 Nov 2020


The latest of the Coinbase Learn and Earn program has continued with Algorand and three basic lessons. Once again it is a case of sitting, watching the video, and then answering a simple question. However, as with most of their recent Lessons, the answers are really in the description below the video. A lot of the earning comes from referrals: ($10+ COMP  4 left)  ($10 EOS  1 left)  ($10 XLM  2 left)

Algorand is described as the "world’s first open, permissionless, pure proof-of-stake blockchain protocol". I would bet many would contend this, but i expect with enough specific clauses they can claim their case! The team behind this crypto are pretty effective and are led by Turing award-winner Silvio Micali. It is one of MANY that I would like to watch, but to be honest the alternative crypto rush seems to have hit its peak - at least for now.

So lets move on to the answers:

Interests in crypto are sparked from my curiosity to learn all things new. As a web developer, I love new concepts, toys, methods, and tools. The RPi is a great example of learning things for the sake of it, but practical use. That is my admiration.
