Greetings from Alan in South Africa - a retired Engineer and a Social Entrepreneur I have started and run several businesses of my own in the last 30 years and now getting into Crypto. I invested in KaratGold coin which was a Disaster - a pyramid scheme with NO credibility - BUT now am running with a credible exchange (Bitcoin Exchange) and a portfolio of Alt-coins. Very keen to learn all that I can and to help others in this space and to educate the public in getting away from fiat currencies.

Hi!
My name is Niels i am 29 years old and live in belgium.
I worked as a mechanic on electrical and hybrid busses but since march i have lost my job due to the first coronironus impact.
At that point in my life i was mad, mad at society and how everything works around here in factoryjobs.
I started thinking that i never wanted to go back working in a factory so i started looking for alternatives.
That is when Ivan came in my life and he started to inspire me each and every day ;)!
I am now a holder of some BTC and learning to read charts and do some trading, quickly i felt that there is more behind crypto then trading and thats when i heard about blockchain!
I started to do some research on my own and i became passionate about it.
Now all these months later my passion and willing to learn and work in this industry is even bigger so black friday was a excellent chance for me to get started !
Since some weeks i am also getting teached in SEO and been doing some content outlining work.
I enjoy cycling and long walks with my dog.
So pumped to start this new journey in my life !

Hello all,
My name is Thibaut, I am coming from Belgium and I am 30 years old. I fell in love with blockchain 3 years ago while joining the 2017’s bull run.
I already know a lot when it comes to trading but since I am a computer engineer and I really want to learn more about the tech ! I have already followed some trainings on Udemy but having a place where everything is centralized is much more better.
It looks like here we also have a huge (and hopefully great) community!
That’s why I am joining the academy today.
I am thrilled to start this new journey with all of you guys!

Hi everyone!
My name is Phil and I am a High School Maths teacher in Sydney, Australia. I have been interested in new tech for many years and now I’m obsessed with Crypto! I’ve become a regular viewer of your terrific daily live stream.
Finally I’ve decided to get a deeper knowledge! Who knows, ultimately I might look at ways of getting school students excited about this technology?!

Continuing the discussion from Introduce yourself:
Hi there, this is Anton…
I worked as a option&futures trader, risk manager and right at the moment I’m doing the regulatory affairs part in bank.
I quit my job …end is October 2021.
I´m infected by blockchain since 2018. Becoming rich with Bitcoin is not my target, its the idea of „decentralized consensus permission less“ future for the people.
Or should I say this with words of John Lennon ? Give peace a chance
I´d like to understand the programming of blockchain. I’m not sure wheather I have to focus on Bitcoin or Ethereum.
My asset is my experience form working in a bank and all those „regulatory affairs things“ which will also hit the „crypto space".
My target is working in the blockchain business at the end of 2021.
Let´s go from zero to hero! I´ll start today!!!
I´m happy for any contact
Anton

ok absolutely no experience in coding or programming, but have successfully found plenty of dodgy sites all on my own on this interweb thingy… my experience in crypto i hear you ask ?.. buying and selling at a loss… bitcoin, eth, you name it, i lost cash on it… plenty of sends to wrong addresses under my belt…im virtually a veteran ! its under the hood i know nothing about…
So im here for you guys to put me on the straight and narrow road ! , so if i get shaped in here into a blockchain developer , anyone can, ill be the perfect case study, a 50 year old seadog !! …ill bring to the table a wealth of life experience travelling the seas managing on ships in the oil and gas industry for the past 30 years… mixed and lived with many cultures , a few ( if im lucky and come across a dark dimly lit establishment) girl in every port…so all i need now is a nice paying job to go see them all …and pay for all the offspring’s coming to light…
In all seriousness though, if anyone needs a hand or just a shoulder to cry on here when things are bad or good , please reach out, i never leave a message unanswered, lets encourage and help each other as much as we can… im up for this ivan…ive paid my cash now lets do this, over to you …show me the way !!
