Irina Heaver, a crypto lawyer at NeosLegal, emphasized the importance of user education in the cryptocurrency sector. She said that resources like “Binance Academy” and the internet facilitate staying informed and taking responsibility. Heaver made these remarks during her presentation at Binance Blockchain Week.
“Everybody should take individual responsibility, but that’s where education comes in as well,” said Heaver. “User education is very important. Binance has an academy, and there’s so much information on the internet—it’s almost your own fault if you don’t know something. You can Google anything nowadays, right?”
Binance Academy, established in 2018, is an educational platform focused on blockchain and cryptocurrency. It offers over 1,000 articles, glossary entries, and courses covering topics such as blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3. The platform serves millions of learners worldwide in more than 30 languages and includes initiatives like the Learn and Earn program, University Outreach Program, Student Ambassador Program, and partnerships with online learning platforms and industry associations.
