Introduce yourself

[Kieran]

Hey everyone

I’m Kieran.

I got my first satoshis playing faucet games in 2013, but was fully interested in the concept from 2009, me being a certain type of GenXer of a certain age.

Anyway - life intervened, as it does, and it all fell off my radar till 2018.

About a year and a half ago, I knew I wanted to work in this space 100%, and I began to get proper orientation and devote all my time to it one way or another. About 6 months ago I trimmed all my youtube crypto down and decided to just commit to the daily Ivan and have it as part of my routine, [as well as a handful specific projects I follow closely]. I completed the Blockstack 'Zero To Dapp’ course last year, which I really enjoyed.

I’d been looking around for a while for a set of courses that could formalise and straighten out what I have managed to learn so far - and the recent webinar hit me at just the right moment

In the entertainment world, I was recently working as a Logic Pro engineer [mastering a speciality], I taught music tech in the past, and was involved DJ teaching courses in London [Point Blank] as well as computing in music in general since circa 1988. The Cambrian explosion of evolution in music tech of that era was a great preparation for this space.

Really enjoying it so far, looking forward to much more.

Thanks!

Hi all, very excited to be here. I really look forward to learn and hopefully earn with all these great courses. I have been following cryptos since mid 2017. Now I am ready to get down to what really makes this whole thing click. All the best to everyone !

Hello, crazy crypto people!

I am a programmer who started to really learn about crypto about six months ago now. I want to upgrade my knowledge to the next level so I can eventually find full time work in the industry, and/or contribute to startup or open source projects on my spare time.

Hey @CryptoTube I am from the UK as well. Been closely paying attn for many years now, but just getting into the tech side of things. People in the uk seem to have heard about btc, but can never seem to go into much depth about it. Good to see you have a channel started. Good luck to you mate. Cheers.

Scott here from Idaho. I currently work in the Oilfield in Alaska, which is very sketchy right now. Been following Ivan for quite a while, but never really considered the opportunity side until now. The prospects of not having to travel and work in the Arctic is very motivating.
I spend most of my free time riding and working on Dirt Bikes and Jet Skis.

My name is Mujtahid. I live in USA but I’m originally from Bangladesh. I’m a dual citizen of both countries and I recently started working as the IT director of a medical clinic and diagnostic center in Bangladesh. I would like to learn more about blockchain to manage the business better. I have some programming experience but I have no prior experience in blockchain development.

[jarmojorma]

Moi, I’m teemu and I earn my bread as a “video-guy” in a Finnish marketing/media company which operates in the recruiting space. Bought my first fraction of btc with a part of a student loan in 2015 and watched my first Ivan on tech-video in 2017 during the last bullrun.

In 2019 I really started to get more interested in crypto and blockchain as a whole, so still considering myself as a newbie in the space in terms of knowledge, but maybe the course will help me with that.

Hoping to learn at least the basics that would guide my way into the developement-side of the crypto industry, so maybe some day I’d have gained enough knowledge to have a job as a “blockchain-guy” instead.

[ekirakos24]

Hi guys, my name is Erik and I am from LA. I am a medical professional who wants to try something new (blockchain/Crypto). I have been in the space as an investor since 2018, but would like to take it a step further and go deeper in this space for fun and possibly even to work in this field. I am always very excited to read about new developments in the space, but don’t have any programming background, so I will be starting from scratch! wish me luck
