My Name is Mina Bebawy from Egypt.
During my work as a physics and science teacher I was trying always to motivate my students to overcome the routine of school work and the topics of our syllabi.
The idea started by paper cards which are earned by students for answering questions which are exchanged with money at the end of the term.
Then I imported magnetic cards from China and created a software in which students can record their earned points by using their smart magnetic cards and they can exchange them with money at any time.
Then I learned about cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology especially EOS Blockchain.
It was an exciting time…
So we were thinking about creating a global and complete educational system based on Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology…
So we built EATCOIN and eatschools.com
EATCOIN = Education And Technology Coin
Now I want to create an Education without fees free for all in which people from around the world invest in EATCOIN so we can use this money to create free courses and create free on the ground educational centers.
You don’t have to pay for the education, but you can invest this money in EATCOIN and this money will be used to educate others and it gains value so it will motivate students from all around the world to Learn and Earn.

Ivan, you are so very Dynamic I am compelled to try this Academy.
You are Truly,Truly creating a better World and I know your beautiful mom is very proud.
When you said 10xing crypto investing was thinking small, compared to 10xing knowledge of Blockchain I was sold.
Thanks for sharing your Vision. john

Hi everyone!
I’m Clara and a 22 year old living in Sweden. I’m always eager to learn, and I now find myself in job where I have a lot of free time. So I’m taking this golden opportunity to dive into blockchain, something that I’m not that familiar with.
Less then a year ago I started investing in Bitcoin, and I got more interested in how the economy works. I’m taking these courses because I want to learn more and I believe that this will be very useful knowledge.
I’m super exited to see how the future will unfold for blockchain, crypto and economy!

Hello Crypto Community
It’s lovely to meet you all, I am very happy to have joined this community and begin my adventure. It does appear quite daunting to begin with but fingers crossed it will all make sense soon. My name is JC I’m from London and looking to become a blockchain developer.
I have been following Ivan on Tech for a while and now have finally made the plunge.
My favourite lesson I’ve learned from Ivan on Tech so far is “Don’t bet the farm”

Hello All, I just finished the Bitcoin 101 and now about to start the Ethereum 101.
My name is James and I live in West Palm Beach, Florida. I would love to work in the Blockchain/Crypto industry.
I have done consulting on many public companies. In the areas of finance and marketing. I can consult companies on marketing but I would prefer to work for a Blockchain company as a member of a team. I consider myself a utility player on the team. No job is too big, and no job is too small.
I look forward to meeting you guys and look forward to working alongside you in the New Crypto World. Let’s Go!
