Hi everyone!
I am Wendy from Pennsylvania, USA. I am a self-taught crypto-enthusiast. My background is in social work, but I am interested in seeing if I might be able to turn my love for cryptos into a marketable skill. Looking forward to the courses!
Hi,
I follow the course on Algorithmic Trading from Ivan On Tech and as part of that I registered to the forum and introduced myself.
Thanks,
Daniel
Hi Guys and Gals, I’m Bob Wood from Dallas, Texas, USA. I’m a senior technologist from Microsoft and have been eating, drinking, and sleeping crypto and blockchain 24/7 since early 2014 for over 5 years full-time.
I have been involved in the development of many cryptocurrencies and developed a cryptocurrency real-estate exchange. I have been a speaker at many conferences advocating the power, potential, and virtues of cryptocurrency. One my most popular presentations is on “Crossing the Cryptocurrency Chasm” to take cryptocurrency from the techie domain to the mainstream public.
I am a developer, entrepreneur, industry analyst, researcher, consumer advocate and industry watchdog, publishing articles to educate the public on recognizing legitimate sustainable cryptocurrencies. I also published the cryptocurrency video blog “Cryptocurrency Myth Busters” at www.CryptoMyths.com.
Looking forward to meeting many of you…
Hi, I’m Ben, I am passionate about freedom and privacy issues in our modern society. I can’t wait to start learning more about blockchain!
Hi Ivan, Thank you for this chance to learn about crypto and the blockchain. I live in the United States and have been a stay at home mom & grandma. We farmed for 36 years before retiring. I enjoy learning new things. I bought my first Bitcoin in Dec. of 2015. I have learned everything I know (which is little) from listening to Youtubers. I have never really understood the blockchain so I am glad I have this opportunity to learn about it. We are mostly investors in this so far, but if I can help others my age or those in our community to get started with crypto that would be exciting. Also, I am the first one in my family that has stepped into this area. Our kids poo poo this and think it is ridiculous. Thanks again for giving us this opportunity to get in at such a great price to test the waters and see what we can contribute to the world around us.
Hi! My name is Gašper and I come from Slovenia 
. Professionaly I am a private primary school director, but I also have a huge interest in markets and especially in crypto - lately in Hedera Hashgraph.
Hello, my name is Emma. I have just joined the Academy. I’ve been really passionate about Blockchain for 3 years now. I’ve learned so much from YouTube and I have taught my friends and family about crypto but now I’m ready to go further. I’ve never programmed before but I’m really interested to learn more. I love the idea of using my unfair advantage (experience of science, business + blockchain) to create a never ending cash flow so I can stack sats over the coming years. I can also have fun at work and be free from the golden handcuffs which have kept me in a 8-6 job with big corporations for the last 20 years. I’m here to learn as much as I can so I can take back my freedom to work when and where I want.
Ivan - loving the academy already - Big thanks

What’s up to all within this community I’m new here, you can call me Littlejohn137. I grew up in Los Angeles Ca and I’ve been in crypto since late 2016. I’ve been watching Ivan’s you tube channel for a few years now and I regret not signing up sooner but I’m here now at 52 years old. I’m into disruptive technologies and have done some consulting, so I’m here to build my game for the years to come.
Hi, Ivan! You brought me out of hiding years ago as a lurker watching to finally logging in on YouTube to join you and other Crypto YouTubers in live chat – and then finally returning to Twitter for the Crypto Twitter niche. Now I’m here in your Academy to try to learn JavaScript and maybe some other stuff like Solidity since it is on FIRE in the space. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do in the crypto space and for Bitcoin! <3

Hi guys! My name is Daniela, I’m 30 years old and live in Tyrol/Austria.
I’ve been working as a self-employed graphic- and webdesigner for almost 8 years now and would like to bring a breath of fresh air into my career. I got into crypto in 2017, lost a lot of money (the standard story haha), learned a lot about investing though and am hooked on crypto ever since. I’m very curious to see what I can learn in the Academy and how I can apply this knowledge to my professional life!
Besides crypto my main hobby is exploring the world in my Land Rover Defender. I will head down to Spain and Portugal next week and am looking forward to doing the Academy courses while sitting on a remote beach somewhere 
I’m Paul, I’ve been programming and database developing for some years and realize you never know enough…its the projects and challenges that improve your skills. Anyway I decided to try and learn an new area of technology.Now in my late 50’s but realized time to do other things and learn more.
Hi everyone!
My name is Rob and I have been following Ivan on tech for a few weeks now. I have been in crypto since 2018 and learned a few basics. Nevertheless I decided to join the academy for educational purposes in order to understand bitcoin and co on a deeper fundamental level. For now, no goal to work with crypto is needed as I am quite happy in my current job, but as I gian more knowledge, who knows what the future will bring;-)…
Great to be part of the community!
See you around!
Hi ALL. I have just signed up for Ivans academy and am excited about going full time crypto through 2020! I have been a programming tutor (pascal/vb6 - long time ago now), carpenter, graphic designer, video producer, and most recently just closed my coffee and vaping retail shop business. I look forward to any help I receive here, and sharing my knowledge and helping others as i progress. Being a mature learner and family man, I should be here most business hours Mon to Fri.
Hi,
Harry here from Samoa living in Hong Kong for over 13 years now. I am currently working as a specialty performer (fireknife dance) at one of the most happiest place on earth. I have been in cryptocurrencies space for almost 4 years now since April 2016 halving. I took a crash course on security of bitcoin and how to buy before having a skin in the game in July 2016. It was a scary and exciting time and complex leap of faith for me but I did nonetheless after few months of study. I also self learned and able to invest in EOS before main net launched and its great learning experience. Your utube videos helps me a lot to learn about different blockchains as I am not so techy minded.
I like calisthenics and also on my way to fully become vegetarian. I hope to get a new skill set and especially certificate by the end of this course. Now I am ready for the next level to stack massive sats as you mention hahaha.
