Hi everyone, my name is Mat.
I am 42yrs of age, from Australia and am what I call semi-computer illiterate. I can do all the basic things like create a word document, send an email, save documents and surf the net, but that is about where it stops. I regularly tell people that Technology and I are not friends and this has always bothered me. At 42yrs of age I was pretty much ready to just leave it at that as the work I do doesn’t require me to be a computer wiz but I do have to be able to use them. As stated previously, I consider myself semi-computer illiterate, not completely.
I got into Crypto in late 2017. I know, could I have picked a worse time? I have thought about that a lot and even though I have only seen my investments drop, I am a believer in the Tech and also believe that I will benefit more from going through this pre-longed bear market than just simply getting in early in a bull market. I am confident that my investments will pay off in the long term.
Since getting into Crypto I have realized that if I don’t improve my skills with computers and Technology in general, I will simply get left behind and be a dinosaur. I know we all become one eventually but I am not ready to be considered on just yet and so here I am.
I really want to be able to understand Crypto from the inside out and not just be a speculative investor. I would love to work in the industry and learn more about how to properly use Crypto to invest. Currently I would really struggle to know how to properly invest in Defi platforms and would likely make all sorts of mistakes just trying to figure out how to do it. I know Defizap has made it quite easy to do so but I still want to fully understand how it is all working. It is because of my love of Crypto that I have decided to join the Academy and to learn how to use Technology better and with a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, get a career in the industry and maybe develop something in the future.
A bit of a long story, my apologies, but thanks for reading and I look forward to this journey.
P.S. I will also apologize up front for the mountain of questions, likely fairly obvious one for most of you, that I will have.
Happy to be hear though. PUMPED!!!
