I'll ask the opposite question.. how much do these courses cost? Some quick googling has led me to Coursera, but their pricing model seems a bit obtuse. So if they're going to try and grey-pattern me into paying i'm trying to understand how much i would pay. I don't care about a degree from these places, i'd just like to learn.

(specifically the crypto course sounds interesting)

Coursera has a monthly $45 fee for the whole specialization. But, the specializations also include a 7 day trial. You get access to all course material and assignments and all courses. Back in my college days(2-3 years ago), I would start a specialization and blaze through in 6-7 days. Money saved and time well spent. Ofc now that I am working, it's not going to be that easy.
You can also purchase an yearly Coursera subscription for $299 or $399 and get access to all the specializations/projects on Coursera for one year.
Deeplearning.AI courses are excluded from Coursera Plus:
