Hi everyone! I am a 25 year old financial advisor living in Kansas City, MO. I have been investing in cryptocurrencies since my first Bitcoin purchase in 2016 and have been all-in ever since. I want to educate the masses on why having exposure to crypto assets and DeFi in investment portfolios makes sense. The crypto community impresses me every single day, and this forum along with Ivan on Tech courses only solidifies my feelings that I’m doing the right thing. I hope you all find success in your future endeavors!

Hey guys, I’m Francesca. I found out about Ivan from CryptoCasey’s videos on YouTube and I really enjoyed his content so I decided to join the academy.
I’m a full-stack developer in the financial industry and looking to learn blockchain development because I find DeFi absolutely amazing and want to be part of the crypto revolution. I’ve also started investing recently and I really appreciate all of Ivan’s content and advice here and on YouTube.
Really looking forward to talking to all of you on the forum. What a time to be alive!

My name is Devin and I am currently a student. I am gonna start regularly posting on youtube to support my project I am working on. I am very excited about blockchain as a whole and participated in the 2019 Waterloo hackathon making a gamified deflationary token. I am very interested in Defi, NFT’s, video games, and energy. I have been investing since 2019 and got my entire family into it. My goal is to start project MemeFI which is for decentralization, and the movement of retail traders taking back a share of the market without any central authority being able to stop them out. I would love to clear up on some material, and completely learn more. I am excited to start with Ivan On Tech Academy to help me with my four-year vision of MemeFi. My goal is to use memes + finance to help make retail traders smart money.

Hello, I’m Simen.
I work full-time at large pharmaceutical company.
Lately I have become increasingly interested in crypto, especially over the past 8 months.
I’ve experimented a lot with all the novelties DeFi has to offer but I’d like to set my understanding in stone, so to speak, and delve into the technicals. My goal is to build an understanding of cryptos place in this world that I can utilise in the future regardless of the position I find myself in.
Best regards.
Hello all,
this forum seems like a straightforward operation. You provide the plan and the firepower, I’m the snare.

Hi All.
I am a professional poker player from the UK.
I’ve had some crypto since 2017 but only recently started to study it in depth in the last couple of months and intend really focussing on it now to learn as much as I can.

Hello Ivan, and Community. My name is Mike, I live in Kelowna British Columbia Canada. I joined the academy last night and am thrilled to be here and get the most out of it that I can.
I learned about crypto and blockchain in 2017 and started investing and trying my hand at trading, I did alright 
Since then I have been following the space and trying to keep somewhat up to speed as I find it fascinating and see that it is groundbreaking with unlimited potential.
For some time now I have wanted to learn programming. With the opportunity there is in this space, and the fact that the pandemic has affected my employment, I have taken the first step to changing my life, and hopefully to being involved in changing the lives of others for the better.
Happy to be here!

Hi everyone! I’m Clara, Portuguese, UX Designer based in the Netherlands (but currently in my lovely hometown - Madeira island). I have been interested in blockchain for a while, but finally decided to really deep dive. I would love to contribute to the space, not just watch/invest from the sidelines. Not yet necessarily sure how, but something tells me I might have found where to start 
Hope to meet some of you soon!
