Hello Ivangelists! My name is Nick Bell. I live in the UK (England) and started learning to code through an online course over year ago(not blockchain). Wish I had found the Academy before I had already started paying for something else anyway I’m here now an keen to dive in. Been watching Ivan for about a year now. Invest in knowledge.

Hi everyone,
I’m Jorge, from Asturias, Spain but settled in Madrid. I’ve studied Computing Science but I was soon attracted to Digital Analytics and how to connect both -business and technical- worlds. Now I’m working for a Telco company, helping to improve the Data Collection & Analysis processes.
To be honest, I am not an expert at all about blockchain, but I’m really interested in, so that’s why I decided to do this course. What I’m more excited about is to learn how development will be impacted by blockchain more than cryptocurrency, but it’s nice to know about how it works.
Nice to meet you!

This is now a normal day for me here in Asia: completed the first course in the academy, exchanged some of that fiat stash to REAL money, gold, then jetted back home on my motorcycle for great food at a local market 
My background is 20+ years with a command line, often CMS-es like Drupal, combined with 25+ years of Photoshop and different creative elements from photography via webdesign to now being serious about fintech & crypto.
After running a handful of companies back in the north of Europe I´ve now set up in Thailand, with that most golden document of them all: a work permit with my own company!
This virus-mess has led to me completely scrapping and reshaping all my plans, which led me to starting the academy. Fortunately 2-3 years of dabbling & following crypto forms a good base I think, and doing the academy will lead me to where I can start doing REAL work on crypto, blockchain & defi I trust
Thailand has a REAL, and often informal economy, this is a huge relief after almost fleeing the totally messed-up systems in my home country, where there are no free markets whatsoever left… (If you´re able to guess where I´m actually from by reading this paragraph only, send me a PM)
When it comes to my future plans I will spend the next 2-3-X months of everything being locked down on getting deep into the tech & ecology, then maybe there are some good opportunities here as well… (What I´ve experienced here is more of a “lockdown” than the real, insane thing others experience - another pointer to there now being MORE personal freedom in Asia than in the West)
For the time being I´ll keep to my nickname, there is a lot of sorting through my digital traces before I feel OK with posting my real identity - but at some point that will happen in order to get anywhere professionally.
In the meantime I keep thinking that if I ever get a cat, I´d call it Agoria 
Hope everyone are well!

Hi guys! My name is Arthimis and I have been passionate about blockchain since 2017. I am from Belgium but have been living in Norway for about 10 years. As an 23 year old, my life is all about adventures and new experiences. I graduated as a land surveyor but I have been working as a bartender in the last year. Unfortunately I have been laid off due to COVID-19.
Good Morning Crypto has been something I watch almost daily for quite a while now and Ivan has always inspired me. I think now is the perfect time for me to join the academy. My motivation is high as I hope to gain new skills and maybe start a new career if it leads to that.
Greetings

Hi everyone, My name is Andres. I’ve been interested in crypto ever since the ATH of $1200. However never really truly jumped into it until recently. (Super pissed I missed out on the $20K run and don’t plan on missing it again). Currently living in Brooklyn, NY, I’m a co-founder of a Hemp CBD company called Lock & Key Remedies. I’m the product and formulation developer.
I’m here to learn and switch into programming. Specifically interested in the potential of using crypto for non-tech startups. I’ve got a couple projects I wish to test out and looking to learn how best to leverage crypto for these projects. Also in a way I see learning how to navigate this space as “future proofing” if that makes sense.
Would love any feedback and feel free to shoot me a message or ask me anything related to Hemp, Cannabis, CBD and wellness.
Cheers!
(Sorry for any typos or wrong use of terminology and thanks for your patience and understanding)

Hi Ivan,
I bought you course a long time ago, but now i’m desperate to get started.
I had a major crash with my paramotor in Belgium last year and never can go to work as a chef again, so i thought… " lets do Ivan’s programming course, and maybe i can make a difference some day.
Greetz,
Bob

Hi!
I’m Savannah. I’m here because I want to learn something new and explore a potential avenue of what I might want to do with my life. I also figure learning this can help me with a whole lot of other things. Most of my experience comes from a couple of programming courses taken here and there, and I want to shore everything up and learn more.
Howdy y’all. Greetings from Oklahoma. My name is Alyssa and have been following the crypto markets and blockchain coding for two years. My boyfriend finally gave me the well needed push in order to better myself and refresh my career. We have one cat, named Dude, and a foster kitten named Peeps. Excited to see what Ivan On Tech has to offer and to be apart of a community in which I have heard so much great news.
Hello Everyone,
My name is Ray, I’m a Mechanical Engineer, I currently do consulting work for the aerospace industry.
I like technology as a whole, from the automotive industry, power generation, maritime, construction and recently the Aerospace industry (Jet Engines) and now the Crypto-currency industry.
Let’s see if I can cut it as a blockchain developer. 
Hello!
I’m Gabriel from Rio de Janeiro and i’m very excited to start learning about blockchain. I watch ivan videos for a few years and now on these quarentined days why not start learning something new, right?
Hi everyone! I’m Dev and from Denver, Colorado. Currently looking to learn something new and hopefully find some work in. Had a friend recommend Ivan for learning about blockchain/crypto. Excited to see what comes of it!
Hello Everyone 
Thank You for allowing me into this community.
My name is Derek, mostly known online as Mining365 (Mining every day - 365 days of the year… you get it…right? ;D )
Currently living in Canada with my partner for the last year, but am a US citizen from Texas 
This past year has really shown me why this world needs cryptocurrency and DeFi is now a passion of mine. I have had banks man-handle me and my money for no reason, other than that they legally could…
including freezing my account of $20,000+, while locking me out of my online banking and refusing to let me access it… how would you feel?
Can’t wait to learn all that I can here and hope to contribute as much as possible!
See yall on the next stream 
i love this community so much, Thank You again Ivan.

Keep up the good work Ivan. You are a great inspiration and always full of energy.

Hello all!
I’m a fitness trainer. I’ve been fascinated by bitcoin and crypto in general since 2016. I don’t know specifically what field I intend to go into. I’m here because I want to invest in my education and become more involved in the community. I see crypto as something that is absolutely critical. I have a thorough understanding of the modern monetary system and it is deeply troubling, to say the least. It is essentially a system of control and if not for the concept of crypto currencies, humanity as a whole is headed for very dark times.

Hello Everyone, my name is Martin, Im from the UK. I currently work as a plumber/builder but ive been trying to stack them Satoshi’s for a couple years now!
Im trying to move away from the corrupt building industry and more towards industries that can help you become sovereign. I believe crypto gives you that ability and so now i must master or at least become adept with this technology.
I hope to run my own business ‘‘fullerideas’’ which would incorporate crypto as one of the major trees to help gain people soverigninity and a fuller life <3
much love to the community <3 <3 <3
Hello people! I’m a finance graduate, eager to start blockchain programming and make myself a more productive educated human. Finally started the academy after watching Ivan’s channel, let’s see the scope of blockchain technology in Kenya.

Hello all!
I am Alonso and work at an Engineering Consulting company assuring the quality of our processes. My background is Mechanical Engineering and I got interested in the bitcoin world just recently, like three weeks ago. I think it may be a very good tool to increase wealth but surely I need to know better how it works and the opportunities around it, so I want to learn as much as possible. I also think there is value in sharing knowledge.
