Introduce yourself

Hi, My name is George Muthalaly. I have over 20 years of Information Technology experience, primarily in Data and Database Management space.

I got interested in Blockchain and Crypto towards the end of 2019. Discovered Ivan on youtube in Feb 2020 and got hooked!

Enrolled in Ivan’s academy on March 26, 2020.

I look forward to learning, sharing/teaching blockchain, its use cases and collaborating with blockchain enthusiasts over the coming years.

Hi there, my name is Frederic, I was born in 1973, Belgian nationality and actually living in Spain. I have been in contact with Yvan on Tech since 2 months (YouTube) and he got my interest. Watching the video’s every day about what is going on in the crypto world and the financial world I got more and more interested. He is straight to the point and looks with a very clear view on the future, which is the blockchain and everything around it. I read a book about bitcoin and blockchain long time ago but it was too technical so I prefer to subscribe myself to the academy and learn step by step. I really hope to improve my skills and maybe catch some opportunities after this academy. I let you know for sure. Have a great day

I am Jian Hao Wei and I graduated from Aerospace Engineering master at Technical University of Delft. Currently employed as consultant assets data management.

Looking for new challenges and i am curious about Blockchain technology and its potential to revolutionize the world.

I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I train every week for survivalrun, which is similar to obstacle run but more focused on technique than on strength. Besides that I like watching anime.

Hello, I’m Brian. I live in Maryland. I started hearing about Bitcoin and blockchain around 5-6 years ago, but I wasn’t able to understand or figure out how to get into the space at the time.

In 2018, I found a service (that I felt I could trust) that allowed me to start investing in BTC and some of the other cryptocurrencies.

It was scary sending BTC from the exchange where I bought it and waiting for it to show up in my wallet for the first time.

I’ve continued to read, listen to YouTube providers, and now educate myself more by getting involved in the Ivan On Tech academy. So far, I’m very happy with my membership and what I’ve learned.

I speak German, English and a little bit of Korean and Spanish. I like photography, weight lifting, pilates, cycling, and investing…especially Defi.

I’m not sure exactly where this will lead me, but at least I’ll have a better understanding of what I’m investing in by educating myself about the various blockchain protocols, dapps, etc.

I came across Ivan on Tech’s YouTube video channel and have watched and learned a lot there. I finally decided to join the academy on March 26, 2020.

I am frustrated with the current state of the financial situation in the United States as well as globally and the way the average person is taught / programmed to automatically trust everything the government says and does. This is how I felt starting in 2008 and it has evolved from there.

What’s up, everyone. My name is Jorrin, I’m a web developer that has always been interested in Blockchain, but haven’t fully taken the time to learn and implement anything with it. I plan to change that! And that’s why I am here in a nutshell. I want to use this crazy time in isolation to learn some new kick-ass skills. :nerd_face: :nerd_face: :nerd_face:

Hello dear Crypto-enthousiasts,

I’ve been passively following crypto and blockchain trends since 2014, and as Ivan always says: 'be part of the community and grow value in the space".

I’ve always been passionate, but didn’t feel like it was my place as a lawyer to start being interactive in this space.

Now, with those black swan event coming up, I can really feel the urge to get deeper in the subject, and I also see the opportunity of a life time can be made in here, joining and growing the community. My aim is to help others out, and to teach eventually, what I’v learned through mistakes, in an easy comprehensive matter.

I’d love to meet a lot of people, share my knowledge and possibly grow an amazing bussiness in here.

Thanks for everything, Ivan,

xxx

Hello blockchainer,
My name is Michela from Venice, Italy. I am rather new into crypto world and blockchain (nearly 6 months). I actually had a rough start being blocked from Coinbase and still am in total crisis there. But experiencing that and searching out for solutions made me dig into this world and realizing the potential for a different human way of building not just the financial system, but most of all the entire way of interacting in society. So here I am willing to learn anything to join efforts with you guys for a new world for all of us and our children.

Thank you Ivan for your enthusiasm and leadership, looking forward to learn from you
God bless
Michela

Hi, my name is Peter and I’m super excited about the future.
I lived a long time operating a large Scuba operation in Thailand. I’ve been in the diving industry for 2 decades and still love to but some passion has waned. Until Crypto I’d not come across anything that gave me as much enthusiasm and passion as my early diving years.
Now back in the UK I am looking to get into Crypto full-time. I foresee myself manovering myself into a sales/marketing position for an established Crypto service provider at some point. I know I’m never going to be a great programmer. However, I wish to understand as much of the technical aspects and coding as I can for a solid foundation.
Ivan has been my staple morning viewing for over a year. The course shilling worked:) Hopefully Ivan can help me to understand crypto to the next level so that I can achieve some goals.
I look forward to interacting with you guys in the community in times to come.
Warmest wishes - Peter

Hi all

I am a computer developer from Denmark, having been in IT for more than 30 years. Since late 2017 I discovered Bitcoin. First as a - not successfull - investor, yes I bought in the run up to the peak. But since then I started to be more and more interested in the tech, and the impact of cryptocurrencies in our society in the years to come. I believe that to be enormous in the next decade - both on the technological side and the financial side. Recently I enrolled in the Adacemy, because of this very high motivation to learn more and to be able to contribute more myself. Hope to learn a lot, and to get to know a lot of interesting people in here. Hope you are all doing well in these difficult times also - a test for all of us - some more than others

Hey guys & hey Ivan,

Nice to be here & see other new faces.
I come from the gaming industry and come with practically zero experience in the programming/blockchain world.

I’m here to learn and hopefully ultimately become a part of this brave new world and industry!

Looking forward to conversing and solving any problems together, should we need to. :slight_smile:

Best,

Hi all,

I’m Jeroen from Belgium and have spent most of my professional life in software as dev/architect up to CTO of a startup. I have a mathematics degree from university and was always very interested in cryptography. When I read the bitcoin whitepaper back in 2014 I was totally hooked about the possibilities and have been following the space ever since. As I was busy on other software stuff in my professional life as a freelancer I never managed to get really deep in development on ethereum, but now I’m 100% dedicated to transition to a career in blockchain tech, be it Defi or other stuff on ethereum.
These course look like a very time efficient way of learning things. It’s well structured, I can skip a lot due to my existing background and choose the right courses for me.

Looking forward to meet people and opportunities here as well.

Hi! My name is Andrii, I’m from Ukraine. I have a degree in telecommunications, but up to 2017 I have been playing online poker professionally for almost 6 years. At the beginning of 2017 I become very interested in crypto trading and I completely switched to it. So my journey in crypto continues to this day, with its ups and downs. As Ivan mentioned in his last webinar, it’s not healthy to stick only to traiding, you need something else, some kind of plan B. So I decided to educate myself in what I believe is the most promising and life changing technology in our days, and ofcourse it’s blockchain. Admittedly, difficult but interesting times are ahead of us with all this situation in the world now. But I believe that here we have one of the strongest and prepared communities. Looking forward to meet new wonderful people and build new connections. See you all on forum!

Hey all,

my name is Stefan. Living in Belgium close to the German border.
I do have a technical background, and got in touch with Bitcoin (not Blockchain) the first time in 2016. Busy times, and unfortunately I got dragged to some other topic and didn’t go further on the subject. Anyhow, the concept I meanwhile understood, next to the significance Bitcoin will be playing most probably on short to mid-term - seen the economic outlook.
Looking forward going first into the Developer Track to build a sound understanding of the whole subject. But my personal interest is more related to the Business Track focusing on DIFI- especially since I am working as a Change- & Transformation Consultant, bridging the gap between Business and IT.

Really looking forward to it.
Cheers,
Stefan
