Interesting… thanks! I’ve just done the KYC and been verified for Kraken a few days ago but haven’t yet looked at funding it or explored the platform. Will look into the Canada Post IPP option.

Hello Everybody! My Name is AJ and I am new to this and decided to join the academy after following a few crypto leaders on tube over the last few months. My background is in Laser and Skin and previously had a clinic which I luckily sold out sometime before the pandemic. I am really excited about joining this forum and learning as much as I can. 
Hi All,
This is Fernando (CryptoGinger), I am a freelancer and working as a Corporate IT Consultant, mainly for financial/government/private institutions…etc
I started with crypto investing during the 2020 lockdown, and surprisingly it went pretty well for a newbie. I’m here to learn and exploit my free time to, basically, reach financial freedom
Cheers!

Yes!!! I hope so too!!! Even in one year 
That’s awesome! I’ll be looking into more alt coins now. I just wanted to learn a bit more about the technology first, I figured I’d have a better idea of how to evaluate the business ideas behind alt coins then.
Loved hearing your picks! What exchange(s) did you use? I’ve used Coinbase so far but I’m looking for better rates on fees.

Erik, how fun you lived in Copenhagen! I’m from there but I live in LA now.
What did you study at CBS? Do they have anything in relation to crypto?
I completely agree that crypto represents fairness and freedom, for each individual, and for building a system of reliable finance.
Have a great day!

My name is Alex.I worked in Banking and Fintech in London for 23 years ( mainly Sales and Relationship management, doing it myself as well as running those various teams ) and have been investing (mainly in property) on the side during that time and decided to do it full time about 2 years ago with my partner. I have been looking at and doing Crypto trading under another mentor for the last 18 months but really want to learn more and be able to stand on my own 2 feet. I looking forward to learning with you all.

Hello everyone! My name is Matic and i am from Slovenia. I am a full time employed as sales representative and a part time trader for last 8 years. I am mainly trading stocks and options but from 2016 i am also involved in crypto. I still remember march 2016 when i bought my first two bitcoins for about $408 and $413 and i sold both a few months later for about $780 right before it crashed back down to $560 and i never rebought it again because i didnt believe in it and i was thinking that this will come and go...Here i am few years later and BTC was above 40k a few weeks back... Crazy :) I have joined academy because now i finally see that blockchain technology will disrupt everything, especially financial sector in which i have a big interest. I want to learn the fundamentals, i want to understand how thing are working and i wont to spot good projects at the beginning. Beside job and trading i also like doing sports and i love good cars. I am just going to be blunt -> my main goal here is to become crypto millionaire and i would also like to help other people to achieve their dreams in crypto. I the last few weeks i was also thinking of a youtube channel but i don`t think i am prepared for that (yet). First i would like to learn more about technology behind crypto and blockchain. I am really happy to be a part of this big family!
Hi Ivan,
Nice to meet you. I’m Jacob. I’m originally from the Czech Republic. For some time I lived in London. Now I live in Lisbon. I’m also a software developer. I do web apps currently with Ruby and Rails. I’ve been following your channel for some time and decided to join the academy as I’d like to acquire solid knowledge about blockchain technology as I believe as well that it’s a revolutionary technology that will change a lot. I believe in decentralization on all levels. I think that’s the best way society can work.
My dream is to have a house with a self-sustainable farm on the coast of Portugal (Living off the grid). I choose crypto as my exit strategy. To make money to fulfill my dream, but also to contribute to the just society by building dapps that prevent fraud, manipulations, central control and secure hard earn money of ordinary people, that their dreams could come true.
I like going to nature, hiking and camping, bushcraft and surfing and beach live
I’m looking forward to joining the crypto community here and learn and grow together with others.
Thank you for this platform and the hard work you did. I hope we will meet one day in person to have a chat.
That’s is
Let the pump be with you :-))))

To find all the coins I want, I had to join a bunch of exchanges… the best deal I’ve found for new users is crypto.com. For the first 30days, a new member can use a debit card without the usual 3% fees. So when I started investing on Jan 11th, I made most of my buys on there. They have a selection limited to erc20 coins tho. Then I joined binance.us and bitmart to get one or two other coins that weren’t available on crypto.com—those have fees though. Lastly, coinbase is the expensive exchange but their wallet app was recommended to me from a friend. I put some eth in the wallet app and connected to uniswap to get a couple coins too.
Hey everyone! I’m excited to be here and learn as much as I can about blockchain and DeFi. This seems like a great resource and community to be a part of. Hopefully I’ll feel confident enough to give back what I learn!

Hi my name is Rio. Latino. Checking in for all my latino crypto lovers! Shoutout to the best group out there! #BigBoyPants on. Lets change the world.
Hello all, my name is Jocelyne. I live in the Canadian Rockies and was introduced to crypto by my nephew several years ago. But I only recently (this past summer) have I been involved in learning about it and starting. My background has been rather varied, from Bookeeping, Business Owner, Management, Electrician amongst many others. I am at an age (over 50) where I can see a need to “catch” up with the world evolving around me at such great speed and thought this would be a good place to start.
wow, I love it! keep it up you got this
