HI Ivan… My name is Scott Bonge and I’m an inventor and entrepreneur of 20 years. I’ve taken several blockchain and cryptocurrency courses, but I’m looking to take my education and experience to the next level. I’m also looking for the right opportunity and company to work with where I can take my outside-the-box mindset and help develop ideas and implement strategies that will bring needed solutions to their company and the industry. Oh yeah… my invention is a men’s goatee shaving template called: My Perfect Goatee - just google it, you’ll find it

Hi, my name is Camaran and I’ve been in the cryptocurrency space for over 3 years. I know the ins and outs of investing, TA, fundamentals, and have a general understanding of the technology. I would like to dig deeper in understanding how to develop, as well, gain skills to be able to develop on various networks. I’m happy to be here and I’m ready for the journey.
Hello everyone! My name is Chaim and I’m from Switzerland. For the longest time I have been trying to figure life out. In this endeavor to find out how life works, how to hack life and the question of: “what’s the good life really?”, I came across so much already. Funny enough my name is hebrew and it means life.
I studied history. The idea originally was to understand history so that the future would look brighter than the past. However I figured out, that so many systems around us are designed to keep us in the dark and to keep us small. I realized that history was used to justify to start wars and not the opposite. I saw so many corrupt systems around me (education, pharma, media, politics etc.), I realized that in order to create the world I wanted I first needed to become the best version of myself. This is why I have been dedicating the past years to personal growth. I even started coaching people, mostly actors, singers and entrepreneurs, so they too could become the fully-empowered, sovereign beings they deserve to be.
Especially in these days of the so called coronavirus pandemic I see our freedoms being taken away more than ever. It’s time to create a new political and economical system. I envision a future in which the individual is not being patronized or even dominated by central institutions, but instead is the master of his or her life. I envision a future in which the currency I and the people around me trade value with is crypto. This is why I’m here and I’m looking forward to connecting with like-minded rebels who aim to create an abundant world through this wonderful new technology.
Much love Chaim aka Harry Lex

Hello! I’m 30, swedish and live in Stockholm with my family. I’m new to crypto but have gotten interested in it from an investor standpoint, since I’ve been in that general game since 2015. The last year I’ve been thinking about learning to code, and now these two interests have merged. Learning to code in a crypto environment is perfect for me, since I like tokenomics, staking, DeFi, etc, just from an economic standpoint. For me it’s the best of two worlds and it feels good for my motivation!
I look forward getting to know you all and learn from you, in this continuous struggle that is life 
Cheers,
Gustaf
Hola Hector! Thank you for your very warm welcome! I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. I know and cannot wait until the day that everyone in the world is free from corrupt banks and institutions – especially in South America where so many have suffered for centuries. This will be the great equalizer, and I am so glad I will be a part of of it. I want to teach anyone who is disadvantaged about this new technology. Maybe someday, I will have schools all over!
My best regards to you and may the gods be with you on your crypto/blockchain journey!

Hi everyone,
My name is Lee-Anna, I currently work in the lovely world of Insurance as an Underwriter. I have absolutely no experience in programming, however it was something I have always been interested in.
I’ve been in the crypto space for the past 3 years, was one of the unfortunate souls who lost some crypto from the infamous Quadriga scandal (darn that Gerlad!). Lesson learned, but I still love the space.
I am also working on my own start-up for the Insurance Industry, I guess you can say I rather fail than to have regrets of not trying at all. This attitude has lead me here, always love to learn.
Wish you all Luck!
Kindest Regards,
Lee-Anna

Hello Hussam and welcome to the blockchain industry. I read you’re passionate about health. There’s plenty of applications of blockchain technology in the health industry. In what way would you use this technology?
Hello Lee-Anna and welcome to blockchain industry. I see your passionate attitude lead to the your entrepreneur path. It’s great to give it your all, and make a valid effort on your start up. It takes the greatest amount of perseverance to accomplish all your goals. The best part about it, is that we’re all early adopters. So even if an idea doesn’t stick you can always compound that idea with another one and continue to improve while you have minimal participant competing against you. In case you want to bounce ideas, I’m always open to innovate. Good luck on your entrepreneur path.

Hello All!
I was interested in the Crypto market for a spell during the last bull market. Unfortunately I lost interest after losing some money, however recently my father brought it to my attention again. He showed me Ivan’s webinar earlier today that greatly intrigued me and pushed me to try it out. I am a complete noob when it comes to programming of any kind but am excited for what the Academy has to offer. Great to see that a whole community comes with it!
Hi Ivan, looking forward to a great learning experience! Dab
