Hi everyone,
I have been trading crypto for a few years and I want to learn more about the underlying technology of crypto itself. I have been focussing only on the economics and I feel that now it is time to really learn whats going on in this industry. I am a total noob with programming still but I hope to change this!
Thanks to Ivan for setting up this course!
Greetings,
Pim (btw I am from the Netherlands)
Hi Ivan
since a very long time I was the loaker in the dark. But I sighted up to academy and I am very happy that I changed my position.
I found BTC fist time in may 2017 as a payment method in VOIP. It was very mutch cheaper than anything else to pay with BTC. Then I looked for all informations in the net to buy my very first 0,1 BTC . Then I bought my first ledger and so on.
It was and still is , very exciting to be in the new world.
Hey Everybody,
I’m Zarin from Forest Park, IL and I’m really excited to join and learn from Ivan and everyone here!
I’m currently in sales and have a small (more like tiny) fortune invested in bitcoin and some altcoins. My goal is to learn as much as I can about Crypto because I believe it’s the future. With everything that’s going on I think now is a great time to start my journey here. I look forward to interacting with the community and making some connections in the process!
Hello everyone,
My name is Brent, I reside in the US. I’ve been tinkering with Bitcoin and crypto’s since 2011. Now seems like a good time to learn more…
Hi everyone!
I am Toby from Charlotte, NC. I am very excited about the academy, the forum and the future. Everything going on with COVID-19 right now emphasizes the need of what we are doing here. I bought my first BTC in 2017 and found out about Ivan on Tech just about a week ago.
My other interests are astronomy, history, writing and the electric universe.
Love to get to know many of you more in the coming days and months! I am here to find out what my place in the block chain space can be and to be connected right from the beginning with great people like all of you here!
Hello everyone, my name is Peter and I’ve finally decided to get Ivan’s Academy and start really learning about blockchain. I’ve been in this space for few years now but mostly speculating and investing. Looking forward to connecting with all of you and creating some cool blockchain based apps.
Hi Julian here from the UK, loving this course so far !
I’ve been buying and holding bitcoin and altcoins for over two years now and totally believe in this system. I thought now would be a great time to really get to know what this space is all about, especially as I have a lot of time on my hands with lockdown. I’m 50 years old with absolutely no tech background whatsoever but I’m a true believer that it’s never too late to learn anything. And I learn quickly. I’m already surprised by how much I already knew about the crypto space.
Respect to Ivan and the crew, you are imparting so much knowledge at a real discount. Hard to find such great value in this day and age. Keep up the brilliant work 
Hello everyone,
I’m Teemu, currently based in Helsinki, Finland. I have a background in social sciences and marketing, and now I’m eager to learn more about blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts because I believe this technology has so much potential to make a huge disruptive impact in the near future.
I was looking for a compact course about blockchain so I don’t have to waste too much time browsing the web for information, and was happy to find Ivan’s course.
I don’t have much technological background. My experience in blockchain has so far only been in investing in cryptocurrencies. However, based on what I’ve learnt so far about the technology, it seems very fascinating.
Good luck to all you fellow students, let’s exchange ideas and create a lot of value for each other!
Hello Blockchainers,
My name is Michael Watson. And I’m a Director Of Photography. I currently reside in the USA. And like many of us here, I figured now would be a perfect time to develop a deeper knowledge of all things Blockchain. I’m extremely excited to be learning about this cutting edge tech. And I’m hoping that Ivan On Tech Academy is the right place to be for this experience.
Hi everybody!
My name is Andres, came from Europe, now living in Brasil.
My work is about medicinal plants, traveling the continent individually, researching mostly Amazonian indigenous societies, villages, learning about their cultures, focused on botanical perspective.
I was not interested in any financial or economical knowledge accumulation before, due to the fact that most system are centralized…
Now i came here to understand deeper about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and all related aspects, because I love many ideas it stands for.
I want to learn to find a way developing a high income skill in this area with time, to fund my main interest which is the research of the complex Amazonian biome.
Later with more understanding, i would like to integrate blockchain technology into my work!
Have a good time!
Hi, My name is Patti and I may have posted my introduction elsewhere when I first started. I just completed the Blockchain and Bitcoin 101 along with Ethereum 101. I have an insurance background and am looking forward to being a part of this community and learning so much more. I am going to move next to Javascript for Blockchain Developers. I saw a new class posted, DiFi and am very interested in that as well. Would it be okay if I took that after my developer course? I live in the USA and enjoy working out and cooking. Now I have a new interest as well. 
My name is Josiah and i have been in and out of stock trading and crypto since 2014 i just never took it serious enough to stop my other jobs. I have been through alot and now is the time for me to settle down learn and give back to the people that I know are looking for a better way
Hello, my name is Alessandro, I live in Italy, near Milan.
I worked as IT Manager in a company. Because of COVID-19 the firm closed.
