You probably know one of these people.
Giorgi
Smart guy. Careful with passwords. Found a random token in his wallet, clicked "swap" to see what it was worth. Drained in 8 seconds. Every friend who knew crypto could have warned him. Nobody did — it was "obvious" to them.
Nino
Made 40% in three weeks. Felt like a genius. Got phished by a fake Discord mod two months in. Lost everything. Told 10 friends never to touch crypto. They told 10 more.
Davit
Bought Bitcoin at $30K. Watched it go to $100K. Sold at $35K because he panicked during a normal 12% dip. Nobody taught him what a normal drawdown looks like — so he treated a paper cut like a heart attack.
People don't quit crypto because crypto is bad. They quit because nobody taught them the rules before the game started costing them money. The single biggest predictor of who stays in crypto isn't intelligence or money. It's whether they had a friend who knew what they were doing — and whether that friend used real financial frameworks instead of gut feelings. If you have that friend — you're probably fine. If you don't — Crypto Lion is that friend.
By the end, you won't recognize who you were 8 weeks ago.
- You become the person friends ask — instead of the one who asks 'should I buy this?'
- You sleep through bear markets — because you knew exactly what you bought, and why.
- You measure risk with math — the same math that runs $1.3M+ in client capital.
- You read the blockchain itself — and see what Twitter will be talking about next week.
- You speak NPV, CAGR and Beta confidently — on crypto, not just stocks.
- You move when the data says move. You wait when the data says wait.
- You stop being a tourist in someone else's market — you become a participant in your own.
8 weeks from now
What B feels like.
It's a Tuesday morning. You open your laptop. Bitcoin dropped 8% overnight.
The friend group chat is in chaos. "Should I sell?" "What's happening?" "Is this it?" Six months ago, you would have been the one asking.
Today, you don't even open the chat.
You pull up Glassnode. You check long-term holder accumulation. You glance at AVIV. The signal is clear: holders are buying this dip, not selling it. You add to your position — small, sized to your written risk policy. You close the laptop.
Friday, the market recovers. The group chat lights up again — this time asking you what you did.
You didn't react. You decided. That's the difference 8 weeks made.
The vocabulary that separates investors from gamblers.
Wall Street uses 5 frameworks to evaluate every stock and bond on Earth. Crypto investors mostly skip them — and then wonder why they keep losing money.
By module 5, you don't skip them anymore. You apply them. To real positions. With real numbers. The same way Avtandil applies them to manage $1.3M+ in client capital.
The result: when you make a decision, you can defend it. When you make a mistake, you can find the math that broke. When a friend asks why you sold, your answer doesn't start with "I had a feeling."
| Framework | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| NPV | What a future cash flow is worth today |
| CAGR | Whether you actually beat just holding Bitcoin |
| CAPM | The return you should demand for the risk you're taking |
| Beta | How much your portfolio moves vs. the market |
| Cointime Economics | What the blockchain itself is telling you |
Same toolkit Avtandil uses to manage $1.3M+ in client assets. By week 5, you'll use them on yours.
The 16-week journey
Module 1 — From confused about money to fluent in why this exists
You walk in thinking Bitcoin is a coin. You walk out understanding why the financial system needed to be reinvented — and why you're early, not late, to the rebuild.
Module 2 — From scared to click 'send' to in full control of your own money
Most people lose their first money to mistakes that take 30 minutes to prevent. After this module, your wallet isn't a question mark — it's a vault. You'll send, receive, and store with the calm of someone who knows exactly what's happening at every step.
Module 3 — From feeling risk to measuring it
Right now, when your portfolio drops 15%, you panic. After this module, you look at the same drop and know — instantly — whether it's a normal breath or a real warning. Your nervous system stops being your trading strategy.
Module 4 — From confused by 'liquidity' to fluent in how the market actually moves
You stop being someone who buys at the wrong price because you didn't understand slippage. You start being someone who knows why a trade filled how it did — and how to make the next one cheaper.
Module 5 — From outsider to analyst
This is the module where you stop being someone who has opinions about crypto and start being someone who has analysis. The same financial frameworks Wall Street uses on stocks — NPV, CAGR, CAPM, Beta — applied to crypto. Plus on-chain reading through Cointime Economics, the framework Glassnode and ARK Invest pioneered. By the end, your friends stop showing you their portfolios for opinions and start showing you them for review.
Module 6 — From student to independent
The point of this entire course isn't that you keep coming back to us. It's that you don't have to. By module 6, you've stopped needing the course, the mentor, and the group chat. You make decisions. They're yours. They're defended. They're right or wrong on their own merits — and you can tell which.
This course is for who you want to become.
For you
- You're tired of being the person in your friend group who has to ask 'should I buy this?'
- You have money you want to grow, and you're done trusting strangers on Telegram with the answer.
- You're a professional in another field — finance, tech, law, business — and you've watched crypto from the outside long enough.
- You're starting from zero and you want the foundation built right the first time.
- You'd rather hear 'it depends, here's why' than 'just buy this.'
Not for you
- You want a guru to tell you which coin will 100x next month. (Anyone who promises that is selling you something else.)
- You want passive learning. You'll be making real decisions on real projects throughout the course.
- You're looking for hype. Avtandil's entire approach is built on the boring work that survives every bear market.
Your shortcut.
Avtandil Kutchava
Crypto Entrepreneur · Co-founder, Pixel Academy
The entrepreneur who put Georgia on the crypto map. Brought Binance and Bybit to the Georgian market. Manages $1.3M+ in client assets. Patron Member of AmCham Georgia.
When you take Crypto Lion, you skip 5 years.
Five years of being wrong about which exchange would dominate Georgia. Five years of watching your friends pick the wrong wallet and lose everything. Five years of arguing with strangers on Twitter about NPV applied to crypto, when nobody else was doing the math.
That's the path Avtandil walked — so you don't have to.
He's the one who sat with CZ in 2021 and brought Binance to Georgia. He's the one who pitched Bybit on the Paris stage and won. He's the one whose conversations with Adam Back (cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper) shape what he teaches. He manages $1.3M+ in client capital with the exact frameworks you're about to learn — and built Coin Baron to productize them.
But here's what matters for you: when Avtandil teaches a concept, he isn't quoting a textbook. He's telling you what worked when his own money was on the line. The course shortcut isn't his fame — it's his five years of expensive mistakes, compressed into 8 weeks of yours.
Past performance reflects Avtandil's personal and managed portfolios — not a forecast of student returns. Crypto investing carries substantial risk.
Designed so you can't fail to transform.
Show up however you can
Tbilisi office or Microsoft Teams — same session, same instructor, your call. Because the worst reason to miss your transformation is geography.
You decide with real money
Theory doesn't change your identity. Decisions do. By week 6 you're sizing real positions in real wallets — small enough to be safe, real enough to feel.
Access to the people doing the work
Recorded courses can't push back when you're wrong. Avtandil and the team can. Their Tuesday-morning decisions move real capital — and now they walk you through theirs while you build yours.
A credential nobody can erase
Other certificates live on a server somebody can shut down. Yours lives on Arweave forever — provable to any employer, partner, or skeptic on Earth, the day you graduate and 30 years from now.

People often ask
- No. Crypto Lion is built for true beginners. We start at the level of "what is money, actually?" and build up from there. If you can use a smartphone and a banking app, you have all the prerequisites you need. The course assumes zero prior crypto, finance, or technical knowledge — and by the end, you'll have a working investor's understanding of all three.
- Plan for about 4-6 hours per week. That's two 2-hour sessions plus 1-2 hours of practice work. Sessions run twice a week for 8 weeks. The practice work is where most of the learning happens — actually opening wallets, building positions, defending choices. If you can only commit to attending sessions without practice, you'll get a fraction of the value.
- You'll be able to manage your own crypto portfolio with a defined investment thesis, sizing rules, and exit triggers. You'll be able to evaluate new projects without relying on Telegram tips. You'll know how to operate safely in DeFi, spot common scams, and use both centralized and decentralized exchanges. Most importantly, you'll be able to make decisions on your own — without asking "what should I buy?" anymore.
- You'll need a smartphone or laptop with internet, and we'll guide you through setting up everything else during the course. We use a combination of MetaMask (free), Binance or Bybit (free accounts), and recommend a hardware wallet like Ledger ($80-150) by week 4 for serious portfolio practice. Total tooling cost outside the course fee is typically $100-150 — and you'll keep these tools for life.
- Pixel Academy is a Patron Member of AmCham Georgia (American Chamber of Commerce), which gives our credentials institutional weight. The certificate itself is issued on Arweave — a permanent, decentralized blockchain. This means the certificate cannot be edited, deleted, or faked, and anyone in the world can verify its authenticity through the Arweave network forever. We're the first academy in Georgia to issue certificates this way. It's not a PDF you can lose — it's a credential that exists permanently on-chain.
- All sessions are recorded and available to enrolled students for 12 months after course completion. If you miss a live session, you can watch the recording and bring questions to the next live class. If life events prevent you from finishing the cohort entirely, you can transfer your enrollment to the next cohort at no additional cost (one transfer maximum). We don't offer refunds after week 2, but we do everything we can to make sure you finish what you started.
- You'll apply them with real numbers on real positions. NPV gets used to value staking yields and project cash flows. CAGR measures whether your portfolio actually beat just holding Bitcoin. CAPM and Beta let you calculate exactly how much risk you're taking relative to the market — instead of guessing. By module 5 you'll do these calculations yourself on your own portfolio. Most crypto courses skip this because it's hard to teach. Avtandil teaches it because it's the actual difference between gambling and investing — and because he uses the same math to manage $1.3M+ in client capital.
- Cointime Economics is an on-chain analytics framework developed by Glassnode and refined through ARK Invest research. Instead of looking at price charts, it reads the blockchain itself — when long-term holders are accumulating versus distributing, how actively coins are moving, and when the network's actual usage diverges from market sentiment. It's the closest thing crypto has to fundamental analysis. Crypto Lion teaches it because it's the analytical edge that separates serious investors from chart-watchers. By the end of the course, you'll be reading on-chain data the way an equity analyst reads a 10-K filing.

The math.
One bad crypto decision costs more than this course.
The average panic-sell during a normal dip costs 15-30% of your portfolio. On a $4,500 portfolio (~₾10,000), that's $700-1,400 — the cost of Crypto Lion, gone in one bad Tuesday.
One avoided panic. One sized position. One scam you walked past. The course pays for itself the first time you don't lose money you would have lost.
₾3,000. 8 weeks. The rest of your investing life.
Two months from now.
Path A
You're still in the group chat asking ''should I buy?'' Still watching opportunities pass because you don't trust yourself. Still getting your education from people who got their education from Twitter. Still telling yourself you'll figure it out next bull run.
Path B
Your portfolio has a thesis. Your decisions have math behind them. When friends ask what you think about a project, your answer doesn't start with 'I think' — it starts with 'the data shows.' You're not chasing the market. You're in it.
Eight weeks separates the two paths. The market doesn't pause while you decide.
