Introduce yourself

A Pleasant Good Day Mr. Ivan Liljeqvist,

I am from the Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean – some 8000+ kilometers from Sweden. Sweden is also 6 hrs. ahead of Trinidad and Tobago.

I discovered ‘Ivan on Tech’ on YouTube almost a year ago and have since been ardently following your very insightful, informative, educational and motivational postings.

I am 18 years old, I am female and I will be finished with High School in 1 year – June 2019.

I am presently doing at school the following subjects:
• Pure Mathematics
• Computer Science
• Economics
• Communication Studies.

I am taking a Gap year off - after completing High School - before going off to University.

Hello, Ivan.

My name is Pen, I’ve been a computer programmer for about 25 years, and I’m working on coding a new blockchain currency concept project, including a novel “proof of” protocol to replace both PoW and PoS.

Hi
I am Nico and I have no idea where to start in this industry. So I’ll start with what I can do and have learned thus far.
I was born in South Africa and started working when I was 16, I did some programming in school but got bored cuz I had to wait for the other students.

After school, it was a drinking fest :beer::beers: at Uni :school: where I managed to crawl out with my BA in Recreational Studies and Tourism Management :books: after which I worked for Samsung Telecommunications, data analytics, and PBX server installations. At Samsung, I did my S1-S5 courses(product specs and capabilities) which I used to teach other departments about Samsung products.
After Samsung, I had run an Outdoor Adventure Park with my lovely wife for about 6 months.Fun in the :sun_with_face: .

After this time, I realized I wanted more. More world exposure more growth was on the agenda for me.
So I moved from the south of the world in Durban South Africa :south_africa: to the North-East of China :earth_africa::arrow_double_up: :earth_asia:
I loved the change and would recommend everyone learn a thing or two from the Chinese culture. I can speak 5 languages and I can attest that the Mandarin language itself stops the people from being bad actors… it’s not in their language.
they don't even use the words good and bad
its either good or not good.
I know this sounds silly but believe me, it gives you insight into a culture where 5000 years of history and knowledge is embedded into their everyday speaking and not just somewhere hidden in some books.

Anyway,
While there I gave Business Management and Tourism Management at Chanchun Normal University, Changchun among others. Still totally unaware of the crypto world.
I loved teaching the students at the university but was really passionate in the way business worked in China, the sheer pace and urgency to provide results and making improvements where necessary kept me looking for a way in. I finally found myself teaching fortune 500 companies like Continental, VW and Delphi(Car Part company). I love it and will keep that as a part-time job.

But

Then I found Blockchain…
The End…:desktop_computer::computer::computer_mouse:

What am I suppose to do with this knowledge now? I am excellent at Charting, teaching and can do some programming, but I don’t post stuff on Facebook Instagram etc, I know of all of them and know how they work but have never felt the need to post random stuff(real world extrovert, online world Introvert). Where do these skills come in handy?
I have started a website but don’t want to do editing every day on it to help 6 000 000 people, I could run a news feed through it but have not figured that out yet. just a couple of hiccups(learning curves) along the way.
I guess we all are looking for our place in this brand new space called Crypto.
I also know I want to share what I know but where do become a general business advisor for blockchain companies in an online world if I don’t want to shill myself online?

:wink:
@discobot Thanks for your help bro.

Hello everyone,

My name is Tommy and I found this forum through Ivan on Tech’s Youtube channel and I am a big fan of his. I’ve been interested in blockchain technology since March of 2017 and have been addicted and passionate about the potential ever since. I am also a community admin for Trinity (TNC) so you may have seen me around there.

I’m super excited for the release of Ivan’s blockchain developer course! I just signed up for the presale and I am also considering his blockchain academy course as well.

Well that’s all I have for today and I hope to talk to a lot of you more soon especially if you signed up for the blockchain developers course!

Hey everyone,

I am a Chinese developer. As I know in China more than 80% people do not know what cryptocurrency is and most of us are lack of basic judgment for a new Token. To make cryptocurrency moving forward I want to run a training center in China to spread some basic knowledge for the cryptocurrency in Chinese. Afterward, I also want to teach smart contract development.

Hope I could learn enough from you guys and have fun with this new technology.

Thanks :stuck_out_tongue:

Greetings to the forum,
My name is Brian and I’ve been following Ivan on Tech for several months gleaning what I can from the wonderful content and marveling at both Ivan’s intellect and inspiring coif. I’m here to learn, and coming from a generation that sussed info from an old encyclopedia collection on the home bookshelf, I will need lots of assistance as the programming course unfolds.

Hi Ivan and everyone else,
I am Farruh. I am a teacher, tech enthusiast and nomad :smiley: I have been very intrigued by the idea of decentralization being implemented in tech and began following. Ivanontech channel is indeed very helpful to put things into perspective. I am super excited about the course and fully ready to dive into it. Interested in both theory and practice, and eventually eager to build Dapps)) Thank you for such an opportunity, Ivan and the team (I am sure there are more than one very dedicated people:D)

Nice to meet you, guys!!

Hello Ivan and everyone.
My name is Mahin and I love Ivan for what he is doing.
He is the only crypto Youtuber who is showing the true essence of blockchain which is coding.
I go by the rules that if you don’t know how it works don’t invest in it .
Looking forward to be part of this Exciting and Robust community.
Also looking forward to work with Ivan one day too.

Hi Ivan!

I love your YouTube channel and have been watching daily for several months. I’m an IT Systems Manager and have been working on computers and data communications for most of my life. I’m passionate about technology also and am an old-time Linux geek currently using Linux Mint (I started with Slackware Linux in the late 90s). I’m not really so much a programmer as a systems admin. I haven’t been doing much programming in many years. I started out with BASIC on a TRS-80 Model I, so that gives away my age. :slight_smile:
Anyway, I’ve been into cryptocurrencies since last October and it has been a tremendously exciting learning experience! And I do very much appreciate all you have been doing to help educate people in this area. You rock!
I’ve something of an idealist and kind of a libertarian. And I really believe that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies may be the most important solution to the problems our world economy faces. It would be wonderful if we could actually create an economic system that was truly by the people and for the people and that allows us to exchange goods and services in a much more optimal fashion than the existing crony-capitalism systems do. I look upon this as our chance to win much more freedom than has ever been possible for everyone! So thank you again for all you do.
Now I’ve signed up for your course and am eager to learn! So lets program us some blockchain!

Hi, my name is Chris, i m 26 years old from germany.
I work as a web developer since 3 years and i m in bitcoin / crypto since end 2013 (1k bull market).
The first years i saw all this only as a speculation market. The last year showed to me that it is more than that. I m pretty bullish on the whole DApp space as a new genre of programming. I m actualy working on a website called dappstatus.com which will list all kinds of dapps of any platform. My main goal after finishing that site is todo dapp programming my own, and i look forward to work on this together with ivan and his great community.
