Traditionally, financial education was a privilege, reserved almost exclusively for a select few. Those who wanted to learn how forex, investment, stocks and bonds work had to go to college, not just to acquire a bachelor’s degree, but to secure a master’s degree, all of which was believed necessary to have a competitive edge. With the rise of self-quarantined education and modern technology, financial knowledge is now available to the general public in the comfort of their home.
The trend to move schools online due to Covid has lead to a rise in online educational institutions. A platform that aims to inspire people and put power back into their hands, IM Mastery Academy, is an example of this new trend to work and learn from home. However, this isn't an academy like others. This one offers ample knowledge on forex, digital currency and ecommerce markets. Established in 2013, this online academy was at the forefront of the trends, planning for the future of digital classrooms. That distant future has now fully become a reality with the rise of Bitcoin and the growing interest in cryptocurrencies from traditional investors and financial institutions. For example, I previously wrote that PayPal users would be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies — namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash — within their PayPal accounts. With the rise in cryptocurrency trends and tools, there will be an equal demand for education from the community.

Founded by entrepreneur Chris Terry, IM Mastery Academy disrupted the world of financial learning by offering top knowledge for a fraction of the cost of acquiring a high-end university degree. “I wanted to give people a real platform where they can get expert knowledge from the best in the industry, and so I thought, ‘what if I created a platform that would put all of the best resources and experts together under one roof?’” Terry recalled in an interview with me.
The demand for financial learning is stronger than ever. IM Mastery Academy currently has over 400,000 students enrolled, and that number keeps growing. The platform has managed to become the leading digital trading education resource in the world. Terry credits his success to the fact that he relentlessly pursues innovation. “I knew that ecommerce would be big, and more businesses are shifting online. So this is why we are releasing an Ecommerce Academy at our digital convention in November 2020. That platform is also expected to become the leader in the industry,” he told me.
