Hi Ivan,
Your course has come highly recommended to me. I’m here so I can gain skill sets to earn higher paid jobs! 
Hello Ivan aka IOT, and fellow student’s.
My name is Johnny O., I reside in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and a transplant from Fort Collins, Colorado. I’m a Fruit 
:cantaloupe::honeydew: etc and Vegetable 
etc Inspector and I can honestly say that I truly LOVE what I do for a living, never a dull moment. I love learning and so I enrolled in IOT Academy, to see if this ole man can be taught new tricks, so far the answer is YES.
I’m vegan, 5’ 11" and maintain a 160 to 170 lb frame, this grandfather of 3 tries to eat and drink as much natural raw whole foods, rather than unnatural synthetic choices out there. Can’t pump iron like I used to when I wrestled 165 lb wt class, when I was in school.

Hello everyone!
I’ve been a lurker crypto enthusiast who’s coming out of the closet :P. I’m tired of standing on the side lines and watching the builders, movers and shakers frame this space.
I want to participate in the destruction of the old financial system that has impoverished, enslaved and caused so much destruction around the world. I want to play a role in developing private decentralized systems that invoke and support personal freedoms for everyone equally.
I also want to become proficient enough to not only support my self financially but also volunteer my time to organizations that do good around the world but don’t have a lot of scratch.
I look forward to growing and learning.

I also build watercooling PC’s and custom builds in my shop. Blockchain technology is the field I’m most excited about since 2017 and after an incident last year I had a lot of free time after a lifesaving surgery and decided to start with the academy.
Hi everyone,
My name is Alex and I am from Bucharest, Romania.
I have always dreamed of becoming a programmer but never got into it.
After having all sorts of hobbies, my latest passion seems to be crypto and somehow Ivan’s clips convinced me that it is never too late to start learning the more technical stuff, so here I am, giving myself a chance to learn more about blockchain, bitcoin and everything else that this amazing Academy has to offer.
Looking forward to interactions
Hi, I’m a recent university computer science student. I’ve always had a passion for problem solving and finance. When I first looked into the underlying technology of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I became absolutely enthralled. I hope to become a professional crypto developer, and I’m looking forward to accompanying everyone else on their journey into blockchain!

I’m Joe, just another software developer from California. I do full-stack development, but have been surveying the technological landscape for new skills to learn. I really think blockchain/Web 3.0 is the next great leap forward, and decided to give this IoT Academy a shot. I’ve finished the first two introductory courses on Bitcoin and Ethereum, and I think I’m sold! Looking forward to learning more with you all.
My name is Gunnar Bergkamp. I have been interested in software and algos for a while now so just finally starting to get educated. I am a strong believer in blockchain, and support freedom movements. I love skiing and snowboarding, yoga, meditation, principles of electricity and magnetism, and working in the film industry just to name a few.

Hallo Guys,
My name is Emaad from Amsterdam. I studied construction management on the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. After my study I took over the restaurant of my father.
I new about bitcoin at the beging of 2009. It was on a dutch site it was called bestebank. I looked at it. And I tried to mine and get A whalet but I could not figure out how it worked. I think because I had Apple and no Windows. Until this day I regret So Much that I didn’t took my time to figure it out.
Ethereum I new about when it was on kickstarter and I was not convinced at that time that it is something different than bitcoin and revolutionair. A nother thing I regret in my life. But when the DAO ico came I bought some eth. I wanted to buy DAO tokens. But I was A day late at the pre-sale. In this i was lucky 
So I am her because i want to learn about blockchain programming. I now for sure that blockchain is the future and I want to contribute to this industry.
I am verry happy and excited about this course.

Hi all!
My name is Peter and I have jumped in Ivan on tech academy just recently. I am interested in Blockchain technology since mid 2018. I am an electrical engineer and I like to explore new technology fields. Blockchain tech is so exciting for me and I hope that I can also work in crypto for living. My first basic programming experience in crypto was my ERC-20 token I have issued to complement my party board game. Actually I do not use the token, but the technology brought me here. I hope I can be helpful for the community.

Hi All, I am Sanjaya Panigrahi. New to blockchain technology. Currently Working on DevOps and API development.
Hi everybody!
3 years ago I realised that I have been a dormant economical anarchist since I was 7 when it dawned on me that the bank had the key to MY piggy-bank 
( I got every coin out of there with a knife and never looked back !!! )
Then Bitcoin came along and handed me the key to my own bank.
I was born in Göteborg, Sweden, but I lived in Spain for almost 20 years. The last 6 years I’ve spent in the Mùrcia / Alicante region and I would love to connect with people in this area so we can get together learn but also, very important, spread the word.
I am a gold/silversmith and a professional equestrian with an appetite on technology and crypto.
Great space to learn, thanks Ivan !
