Mr Tim Roughgarden, thank you for giving all of us the opportunity to learn for free what would normally cost thousands of dollars.

These lecture have been a revelation to me personally. Not only is Tim one of the best teachers of complex mathematics, it is simply incredible how he keeps up that energy until the very last point. I mean, how do you make this difficult subject interesting. The only way is by way of the presenter and Tim understands that so well and is one of the best educators I have seen. Now in terms of content, let me just say that I have been studying and been heavily involved with this blockchain thing sine 2016 - started with Andreas Antonopolous. I watched EVERYTHING by Andreas at the time because he introduced the topic with a sense of urgency and heartfelt interest. Since then there was no one comparable until Tim came along just at the right time. I was so ready for this high level stuff and it is so much needed. This is the most valuable piece of work in all of the blockchain industry at this point - a from the ground up education for everyone. Thank you Mr. Roughgarden.

Thank you so much for this enormous body of work! I have been looking for such a deep resource on blockchain protocols and design for years. Any hint on when to expect lecture 13 to come out?
