Hi all, I’m Gabriele, I am Italian but i live for years now to the Netherlands and i plan moving to Belgium soon.
balls deep in the crypto frenzy from 2017 (yes i (almost) bought the top like many others), after years of looking at graphics and speculation to make a quick buck i realised i am a bit different from all my buddies that started the trip with me, i actually believe in the tech and find it extremely intriguing, in hope to learn a lot and find a position in this new field.
I graduated as graphic designer at IED in Milan, and after 3 years of working in the sector, things of life brought me to cut with that job, move to amsterdam and become a (push)bike mechanic and then bikedesigner.
My interests are too many for sure, my hobbies match it…I keep aquariums and plants but also train(boxing), but I also am a decent skater or FPVdrone pilot…the list goes on and on and this post is long enough already.
thanks Ivan for the possibility and for setting up this amazing community tool.

Hi All
I am Mike from UK, aged 62 and retired health care professional, biologist, teacher with Asperger’s Syndrome. I first became interested in Bitcoin in 2012 but couldn’t find out how to buy the coin when it was so cheap due to difficulty understanding how to use buy BTC with sterling! I then bought some BTC in 2013 and watched the price crash to under $200 dollars. I waited until middle of 2017 and sold 16 BTC for a small loss as I wanted to the use cash to get into P2P lending and got truly recked by the platforms going into administration in the following years. Back to 2017, I started to realise, the crypto world was taking off again and started accumulating BTC again as the price rose during the rest of the year. I bought ethereum at $8 and started to accumulate these too. Later I diversified into other alts, in total around 40.
I got FOMO’d along like many others, but lacked the knowledge to understand the cycle behaviour of crypto. I held a life changing amount of crypto in early 2018, but watched my portfolio plunge in value over the following 18 months and rationalised by emotional despair as this happened by labelling myself as a HODLer.
If I had taken the time to learn about the crypto market from the likes of Ivan, I would have sold a significant part of my holdings in early January 2018 and then waited for the next bull cycle to begin and use my cash to acquire a significantly larger cryto stake in BTC and ETH.
I believe that just investing in cryptocurrencies without understanding what this new technology means to changing the face of finance and how blockchain technology can benefit all industries, I am not going to be able to gain any ‘true value’, beyond financial gain in this space. I look forward to addressing my crypto knowledge black hole on this course and in this community.

Hello Everyone
My name is Martin. I work in a multinational media corporation for the Latin American market.
I am an Early adopter, dog lover, and sustainable transport believer, Systems Engineer with +10 yrs experience in de Media Industry.
There’ve been many years I am not coding, only managing teams of developers/designers.
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina 
My everyday language is Spanish, also talk English, but not so fluent as Ivan 
and also learning Chinese now.
Since 2013, I am a small retail trader, mainly using stocks/options in the USA market.
I took a smart contracts developer course a couple of years ago just before the bull market when BTC was around 2500, and I liked it.
I want to go a step forward to learning blockchain/crypto to gain more knowledge in the field to invest and spread the word.
I am gaining more attention and would like to be ready.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Hello Crypto fam,
My name is Ashanti. I was born in Ghana and moved to Australia in my early teens with family. I am 30 years old now with traditional finance background and low key small crypto trading.
I have been in the crypto sphere since January 2018 where I also purchased near the top after a friend of mine introduced me to it. I have been following Ivan’s youtube channel since than and very recently I decided to go full time crypto so I can learn from Ivan on Tech.
The main reason why I would like to get involve in the blockchain ecosystem is so I have the knowledge and skills to start some sort of crypto startup in Ghana.
Thanks for the opportunity Ivan on Tech and nice to meet everyone.
Kind Regards
Ashanti

Hi all,
My name is Shareef and I live on the east coast of America. My crypto journey began when I bought one Bitcoin for about 900 USD. I didn’t know the true value of the coin and just purchased random wares online. Fast forward to 2018 and I am now trying to accumulate as much as I can before its too late. I can now see the awesome potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency and would like to ride the wave towards endless DCA and generational wealth. I love this community and would like to start a business involving blockchain. I look forward to learning as much as I can.

Hello,
my name is Dominik Lee. I work as a ProjectManager/Electrical Engineer.
Improve myself in every aspect of life is my passion.
I live near Stuttgart in Germany.
Cryptos were since 2013 always just an investment for me like stocks.
Since September 2019 I took slowly a deeper look into Blockchain and was shocked about what was already developed.
Now I want to know everything and become a Pro in Blockchain/Crypto.

Crypto has become a passion and I am looking forward to master Blockchain technology so that I can become a contributor or at least work in this field.
I am usually considered to be Tech savvy but I have a feeling that this community might make me feel otherwise
It is a pleasure to get to meet all of you!
