I think that there has never been a time when bitcoiners should take personal Cyber security courses not for commercial purposes but for personal reasons for them to learn how to stay protected and secure their crypto assets.
What do you think?

Please you guys should stop making it seem impossible or very difficult to hold bitcoin.
There is absolutely no need to go for a cyber security course or test simply because I want to hold bitcoin and this is a bad concept to present to the public about bitcoin and if I'm to be a newbie, seeing this alone should be able to kill my zeal about to wanting to deal with it.

Just getting a secure wallet possibly a hard ware wallet and avoiding clicking on unfamiliar and every links that pops up on our device will do the tricks than spending money trying to enroll on a cyber security course.

"Cybersecurity courses" are less about personal safety and more about how to find exploits, how to exploit those exploits, how to patch them, report them, and so on. They do not normally teach you how to be safe online, which is usually prerequisite knowledge to know anyway. And even if they did, do you think it'd be worth several hundred dollars or however much they are charging just to hold some bitcoins?

You're a good fellow sir
And thanks for seeing things from same perspective I'm seeing them because yes it is of no doubt that getting a cyber-security course is good but doing so considering the cost of the course just fir the sake of holding bitcoin isn't worth it and that's bad.

The lessons are very clear, don't hold on exchanges, don't be too greedy and don't click on every random links.

Lessons are clear: Do not hold your coins on exchanges. Don't be greedy and fall for too-good-to-be-true offers.

I love this very point of yours because I can remember falling for a too good of a rate after getting a loan from @shasan, intended for treatment and ended up losing everything to fraud because i was too greedy and fell for a rate that was too good to be real and then clicked on a phising link that approved my 2FA and authorized the transaction.
I learnt the hard way but I'm glad I'm preaching against this now since I already have a practical experience.
