Hi, I’m Charlie in Hong Kong. Looking forward to seeing what the future brings.
Hello everyone,
My name is Ann, and I live in the United States. I first learned about Bitcoin in 2016 and created a Coinbase account. I started to purchase Bitcoin and invested in a company designed to operate on the blockchain. I didn’t know what I was doing, honestly. I only knew that I hit the jackpot by discovering Bitcoin. It represented Libertarian views, and I fell in love with the whole concept of something decentralized and not regulated by our government.
Anyway, I am a new student in the academy and aspire to see how far I can push my brain. I want to accelerate it to the limit and believe that learning blockchain programming will help me achieve that. I have no programming experience; however, I earned a BA in web and graphic design. My areas of expertise extend to multimedia and building interactive tutorials. I design websites, advertisements, create videos, and promotions.
I am obsessed with researching everything about crypto and often get sidetracked. It feels like I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. I’ve probably dedicated a good 12 hours a day since quarantine, just reading, watching videos, and researching crypto. In two more weeks, I will have to change my sleeping pattern as I return to work. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to dedicate the same amount of time to research, but I will definitely redirect my studies to learning programming.

Hello dear community!
My name is Alex, I’m a software developer and I’ve been looking into the cryptocurrencies and blockchains market a lot lately. I totally missed out during the previous bull market and I don’t want that to happen again. So here I am!
At the moment, I want to know the Defi space better and I want to learn the basics of trading. At some point, I will also learn blockchain development.
For now, I kind of settled in Berlin but I intend to keep on going with the nomad life when the sanitary crisis is over. Otherwise, I’m into bouldering and rock climbing (actually I love every outdoor sport involving balance and with amazing sensations) 
And good job Ivan for the show every morning, I love it!
Hi everyone, I’m here to learn as we all are. From zero experience to a Blockchain Developer is the goal. I work full time driving trains at present here in the U.K. This intro is going to be short but hopefully sweet enough and if you’re reading this… Good luck to you all on your voyage of discovery!
Greetings!, I’m KMack, Glad to be a part of this community. I am interested in the in the development of this revolution. Vires In Numeris.
Hi,

Hello! My name is Herberth, 36. I was born in Guatemala, Central America, and have been living in many countries since 2001. Now i live in Granada, Spain.
I have an industrial engineering degree and a master’s MBA.
After so many years of ignorance, i just recently discovered the amazing technology of bitcoin. I have been learning about how money works and how corrupt our current economic system is. I want to exit! I have always wanted to achieve financial freedom and think that bitcoin is the technology that can truly give freedom. Feel that this is one in a lifetime opportunity and i will take it.

Hi everyone!
I’m Kuan from Antwerp, Belgium. I have been in crypto since 2017, missed the bull but not the bear!

Hello!
My name is Rando and I bought the super duper deal last night few minutes before the deadline.
About to dive into blockchain 101 and progress from there.
I’ve been involved in investing since 2017, now it seems time is ripe for taking the next step and build something.
I have a few ideas where I would like to use blockchain and create community money for a few different groups here in Estonia.
I’ve been introducing my ideas to some developers as well, but it seems that in the end, if you want something done you got to do it yourself.
So here I go, I hope the Academy will help me achiece my goals. Wish me luck.
All the best and much success to all of yous in your own ventures!

Hi everyone! My name is Paul and I live in Australia with my Son Ty. We have a tanned colored dog named Lady. I am a 35+ years post-trade fitter & turner, who formerly worked for a tile manufacturer company for just under three years. I’ve been involved in the traditional investment space since 2015 and after my introduction to crypto in 2017, I have been actively learning and also long-term (HODL) investing in this space.
I have watched so many episodes of Ivan on Tech with his large on life enthusiasm!..and of course his black coffee!! Ivan mate…your work is informative, on point and full of many useful gems! Thanks to you and your team for creating, producing, and posting terrific content!!! As a Youtube content creator, I know just how much work goes into it, so cheers mate to you and your team!
I saw this great opportunity to become involved in the fastest moving area of growth that is altering the financial landscape forever. (Ivanontechacademy) So I’m on board, and I’m definitely fired up! I’ve made a clear-cut decision to learn all I can about programming, to position for the pivotal change rapidly coming to this evolving space. I now have a dream to work as a programming creator/builder full-time in the space.
I think…the best part is…community (common unity)… a place where we like-minded people are able to come together, to support, share, grow, and expand our collective knowledge, to increase the potential of a future yet unwritten…and ultimately, advancing new, much-needed changes and innovations in this monetary place of disparate inequality.
Finally, the governmental, federal backed banking system is broken…we’re not here to fix it, we’re here to bring the vital solutions that’s well overdue, but absolutely essential!

Bro…you in the right place…just imagine what benefits await those communities…to to grow bro…happy studying!
Definitely know the feeling there!!!
Unfortunately, the mainstream media is owned by 6 major corporations. The power that is held by the few 1% is this…
“The original intent of the media was to keep the public up-to-date and informed on important issues (bitcoin), but now they use this median to run bias narratives to shape public perceptions and to form public opinions.”
Thank God for teams like Ivanontech!!! They bring the necessary balance to the equation…
