Hi everyone 👋


I’m Fabrice Manzo. I live in Belgium with my girlfriend and 2 awesome kids (Lucca & Levi Manzo).
I love programming and tweaking things. Ivan trusted me as a moderator on his Facebook group ‘Blockchain Deep Fundamentals’. I’m also lucky to be a moderator on his YouTube channel. I’m still busy on the Coding course (dapps), so time to time I will check this course as well. I still need to learn a lot, and I don’t have a lot of ‘business’ knowledge. so I’m very curious about this course.


Have a great ‘Study’ :+1:

Hi I am Andrew from Edmonton, Canada . I am intrested to hear Ivans thoughts on Hashgraph system of decentralization and the Hedera public network. The Though-put is exponentially greater than Ethereum and 1/100 of penny transaction costs. Has this been discussed earlier & I missed it ? I am planning to use it to support a new app in devopment. Would love some feed back before investing resources .Thx

Hi everyone! My name is Abraham Kim and I’m a film student located in Los Angeles, California. I joined this course after following Ivan and his work on social media. When I found about his course I enrolled immediately. I don’t have any prior knowledge of coding, and this is one reason why I chose Ivan’s course; however, I do have aptitude for technical understanding and have prior conceptual knowledge of blockchain.

I’m taking this course as a larger “self-education” program I’m implementing to teach myself the core skills needed to build my future content creation company. Like I wrote in my profile, I’m envisioning a next-generation media company that utilizes an Ethereum-based propietary operational interface to manage all of its financial and legal operations. This is especially relevant in the entertainment business, because lack of transparency/inefficiency/error leads to many complications both with content creators and financial investors.

I’m hoping that, through this course, I will gain a much better understanding of blockchain and smart contracts and actually gain some hands-on experience creating this stuff.

Hello,
I am Raf, I live in Belgium and I’m currently 37 years of age.
When I was younger, due to medical reasons I spend a lot of time behind a computer and I discovered the Internet pretty early on. Gaming was never really my thing except for Leisure suit Larry, Police Quest, commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D and Megarace. I guess I liked Zelda on the Nintendo too.

My first computer was a Macintosh plus. Then i switched to a PC.

I had my first basic HTML website in 1998. This was very basic HTML, then later came some PHP but I must say I never really was much into programming and never really took the time to learn it well. I was more into servers and I became Interested in Linux.

Althou it was spending all my time behind the computer, I did not become a system administrator or developer. I became more of an allround guy. My business card used to say “creative all-rounder with geekish tendencies” as I got more invested in marketing, product development and project management.

Today my business card says Expert Digital Banking. Wich means i’m spending my workdays helping customers using digital platforms for their daily banking needs. I’m in first and second line of support and in an advisory capacity. no where near development or strategy when it comes to digital banking as such.

That’s why I got interested in Blockchain and want to take the time now to learn development skills, because this knowledge and skill will most certainly become valuable in the future of my day to day job.

I’m sure I will learn a lot and I hope for the most part that I will get to know cool, interesting like minded people here.

Good luck to everyone with the course!
Raf

I’m Kade, aka ProfessorHODL, aka BlocKade. I’ve been following BTC since late 2012 and been investing in Crypto since early 2016. I’m looking to transition into working in Blockchain fulltime: consulting, trading, teaching, advising, mining, etc. I am a #HODLWARRIOR.

You can follow me on Instagram (block.kade), Twitter (@KadeBlock), Steemit (@blockkade), and Youtube (BlocKade Hodlson). I recommend my Steemit and Twitter the most.

I took Professor Ivan’s Deep Fundamentals course and found it valuable. I’m now taking the Blockchain Business Course while I’m co-currently getting a Masters in Digital Currency at the University of Nicosia.

I also enjoy BMX, table tennis, Ultimate, MTB, weightlifting, rock-climbing, and playing ukulele/piano.

I currently live in between Providence and Boston in the USA. I’m HODLing on for a brighter tomorrow! Cheers.

What’s your approach been thus far in demonstrating credibility in your ability to consult/teach/advise? I’m interested in doing this as well, just curious how you plan on spearheading your efforts!

Hello Everyone!
My name is Tim and I am currently in Oregon in the US. Im 46 and have a varied background; my degree is Mathematics, I have worked in education, construction, and drove a semi in the oilfield. I also have done some art including most recently some painting.
I started following Ivan on Tech several months ago as my way to learn about the blockchain space. I am a big fan of the technology and its potential benefits.

Well, I’ve taken Ivan’s other course, am enrolled in the U. of Nicosia MS in Digital Currency course, stay up-to-date on as much as I can (through Twitter/Youtube/Cryptopanic/local meetups/etc), and go to Blockchain conferences and network with people I know in the space. I also just started my own LLC in order to provide more and better consulting services.

I think it’s hard to get started and most companies don’t know what to look for so you’ve really got to put yourself out there or make something happen for yourself. I see you’ve been active in this forum so that’s a good start. Living in/near a blockchain hotspot wouldn’t hurt either (Boston/NY/SanFran).
