Hey everyone,
My name is Zsofie, I live in Berlin, Germany. I´m a newbie here, I found out about crypto totally random about 3 months ago when I was looking for an investment opportunity or more like saving myself from the upcoming economic disaster. Since then I started learning more and more about blockchain and realised that this is my calling, I always wanted to do something that helps us exiting the current system of oppression. I firmly believe that this movement is the one that will bring change and equality to the future and I’m super excited to be a part of this.

Hi! I’ve gotten through the first 3 courses and started the Javascript programming. I wanted to learn more about crypto and that is why I did the courses. I am not looking to become a programmer and my head is spinning trying to understand blockchain developers course. Will I be missing out if I don’t do this or the ethereum programming course? I am very interested in learning about crypto but not programming it. Thanks for your thoughts.
Hi all. Got into Litecoin mining 
back in 2013 after hearing about Bitcoin. Was drawn in by the idea that participants can contribute to security and receive incentive to maintain a trustless environment. After a hiatus and getting more into economics/investing I see that there is so much to this space, it’s endless! Very excited to try and learn how we can help change the world and cut out the bad actors.

Can’t wait to get started in the academy!
Hey all,
Im located in the UK based in the midlands and just joined. Starting to look through the forums and content, looking forward to educating myself!
Been into Crypto & blockchain since 2017 and find the technology fascinating and believe it will have a huge impact on the world. Also into Masternodes and have many running on Linux VPS, love playing around with these.
We really are the early adoptors of this tech, so exciting!

Greetings all!!
A greeting from Vordingborg in Denmark.
How are you all? what exciting times.
What a ride i have been on, the last many years, and now it brought me here.
For me it started as a spiritual development, somethings did not add up to me, it came suddenly after my lovely father died. I saw things different, and most people i met or knew were good people, so how come the world was such shitty place to be in. I found the answer after long time, because it is lead by the wrong people. How do i know? because the system is so bad in all countries around the world, it call for change, BIG CHANGES. Well i know it is my opinion/truth, but it was eye opening change for me. But all this, also forced me to look at money creation, which must people do not know anything about. So im in a position now, where i want to secure my self and my family in real asset. Crypto is the future, and blockchain is here to stay. First of all im here to learn, and hopefully later to help forward this new tech. So i want to give a thanks to Ivan and the team, for this academy, for putting so much time and heart into it.
I will see you around

Hi, I’m Brandon from California. I am interested in what crypto can offer the world.
In 2017 I got into an ICO without knowing anything of what I was doing. Turned a $1500 investment into $20k but I didn’t know how to trade/sell. So I kept HODLing, now my tokens are worth $500.
Then I started to learn to trade during the bear market, and lost even more money. Having a lot of failures to learn from…
I’m trying my best to learn blockchain technology and I’m glad to have found Ivan’s channel and this great community! I can’t wait to learn and contribute!!!

Hy Ivan, team and everybody! My Name is Lothair and I’ve been listening to Ivan on tech for about 3 years-ish! I was living in London however currently and for the past 6 months ive been stuck in small town new zealand due to covid 19. I’m staying at my mums which is the perfect setting for getting down to learning new skills like blockchain. For one thing its winter and i currently have no work due to cancellations of projects in europe. since im out among the trees and nature i decided on the handle Binklebonk which is the name of a tree goblin character given by author Spike Milligan in BAD JELLY THE WITCH. In these online courses I’m looking forward to finally learning some coding but 1st a brush up on the basics. I’m more of an Enterprenurial type however I think some coding will help apply blockchain idea’s to real world problems even if I’m not actually doing the coding. I’m already looking at how the carbon farming industry are logging tree’s but there trucks are destroying local community roads for which local ratepayers pay for. I would want to see the carbon farming industry do micropayments for logging trucks paying their way for the small communities as the logs go to port to be shipped off to china. the pricing of Carbon as an offset scheme is quite an inside racket on a few levels and is not accuratey priced in the pine planting within new zealand. blockchain would enable maybe true costs to be allocated. A small part of a project might be xyz tracking of trucks so micropayments to the communities who pay for the roads used can be renummerated. just one idea at the moment!??

ha ha a few of us lost some money as we were thrust into the trading slaughterhouse. I’m lucky I’m still up on intial investment but it was dumb luck in timing. I managed a few swing trades but I think Ivan is on the money in terms of actually learning properly about this industry while its very new still. Your still ahead of the curve I think. good luck
