Hello Everyone. I will keep my true identity for now anonymous. I live in the United States where trading Crypto is illegal. Got to love that. I was pretty good at leverage trading but I had to stop because these trading sites began KYC (know your customer). And I was trying to stay completely Anonymous using VPNs. Not possible once they know who I am. I’ve been watch Ivan for over 3 years now an finally decided to look into blockchain development. I am currently a Automotive Technician. I make less money than people might think and I’m tired of working so hard for so little money. We are very unappreciated in society and it’s sad. But I don’t have time to pity myself or other auto technicians. I am making the time to learn something no one else is doing.
I also just went into business for myself. I am an online marketer and sell a wide range of high quality products. Finally I am a Youtuber. I post things related to racing because that is my deepest passion. I am fascinated by so many things. Great to be here. I have read many other people’s posts.
I am Corinne and I live in southwestern US. I am a semi retired entrepreneur. I sell structured water products and help to educate people about this technology. l like being physically active, (especially in nature), positive people, and learning new things. I have been learning about the crypto space for a little while. I have tried some investing with a mixed bag of results. I am excited to learn the tools for successful investing and be connected to a community interested in learning new technologies for positive change in our world.
My name is Joshua R Schrimpf and I am just typing my first message. I have no idea what I am doing yet with this platform.
Hello, Introduction: Educational administrator gone crypto … That’s me. I enjoy studying the markets and am fascinated with how this new (relatively new) technology creates new efficient avenues. I began investing mid-way in 2020 and of course have seen gains. Now I am going to learn all the tech and perhaps delve into creating things on blockchain … at a minimum, I will understand what I am investing into.
I will read over many of your intros when I have time later tomorrow.
Hello everyone! My name is Annie. So excited to be here! A covid crisis happened in my family which forced me to take a leave of absence from my customer service job in healthcare. Funny enough I’ve been applying to different jobs for the heck of it and I have an interview for a customer service role for a major North American Bitcoin ATM provider tomorrow! I’ve always worked customer service/retail/restaurant jobs throughout my twenties. I’m 28 now and I think it’s about time I take a chance to expand my skillset and venture out to explore this elusive world of crypto! It’s never too late to try something new!
Hello everybody 
My name is Yaser Aly. Today is my first day here! I’m a 38 year old Egyptian-American currently living in Southern California, USA. I’ve been happily married since 2006 and have two beautiful children my son Yusef who’s 12yrs old and my daughter Magda who’s 3yrs old. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and spent the last 8 years at Wells Fargo Bank working as an Investment Banker but I was laid off two months ago due to sudden reductions in workforce which resulted from revenue losses related to covid19. I have always loved finance and technology and look at this situation positively since I could clearly see the traditional finance model starting to become obsolete, and now I fortunately have the time to fully explore my blockchain curiosities and will hopefully be able to convert my traditional finance knowledge & experience into Defi. I came across Ivan’s great work on Youtube as part of my investment research into the Crypto markets since I own Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano; and decided that it would be a good idea to join the academy to really take a deeper dive into this industry. My main hobby is DJing I’ve been in love with Electronic Music since 2001. It’s the best lol 
You can find my work here if you’re into that sort of thing: soundcloud.com/yaser-aly
I also love working out and studying nutrition and of course spending play time with my family. I wish you all the best on your learning journey! Cheers
Hi everyone! I am a Software Engineering student currently finishing my final year. I have been following the Enjin project for a couple of years now and have just made the decision to seek a deeper understanding of blockchain and how it works. Working remotely and starting my own blockchain company/project have been dreams of mine for a long time now - and it seems as though this community can help me make those dreams a reality. See all of you in the forums!
Hey Ivan,
I signed on your website after you held your webinar. You have really stellar timing; I’ve been obsessed with cryptocurrency since I’ve been pursuing my finance degree , but you caught me during a really discerning moment.
I’ve been in the food/service industry since I was old enough to work (27 now), its a passion of mine, but since the pandemic over here in the US, I was forced to find another means of work, now as a butcher. I really don’t care for it. It’s decent work with decent people, but in a physically demanding job environment, an injury or sickness can leave my loved ones without my financial support.
It’s always been about the money and freedom Ivan, I never had much of both, and I’m seeking to change that, both with university, and with Ivan On Tech Academy. I hope studying through you guys makes my future less uncertain, and I can cook in peace.
Regards,
Andy
Hi, my name is Walt and I’m a career software developer primarily in C++ but with a lot of experience in C, Perl, Python, JavaScript, Lua, Java, shell scripting, and a bunch more. The first time I ever paid with something with Bitcoin it was like magic. I don’t know why but I became obsessed immediately. It was like the first time I played guitar in a good band, or the first time I, uh, well, you know where this is going.
I’m afraid I’m being driven toward full-time crypto because I’m just not interested in anything else tech-wise. I’m going to have to tell my current, high paying job, “Either put me in charge of bringing blockchain into this already leading edge (but not quite enough) company, or I’ll be departing soon”, so I need to understand how I might revolutionize the industry I’m already part of using blockchain.
I mostly want to be able to carry around about 10 million dollars in cryptos in a “mind wallet” (remembering a phrase just in my head to be able to restore a wallet anywhere) and go anywhere I want to in the world with nobody the wiser and working on code from a hotel in Dubai, or a beach in Mexico like MMCrypto.
Hi, My name is Micah im an automotive electrician. In 2017 i started trading crypto and have been interested to learn more ever since. Now im wanting to understand how to participate in it. Thanks Ivan looking forward to working within this community.
Hola everyone! My name is Marta, I live in Hoboken, NJ; I’m originally from Mexico. I love learning in general; but always been interested in technology the most. I used to manage IT projects; but left my job to pursue my passion which is Photography. I would love be able to combine my passion with blockchain somehow, any ideas? Also…the fact that crypto is providing an opportunity to the world like never before to those that never thought had an opportunity, I would to teach the regular people (non-techie who believe don’t have money to invest in crypto) that they can totally do it. I’m passionate about helping people achieve financial freedom through crypto. Looking forward to learning and helping others succeed.
Hi Guys,

I am so interested in crypto assets & Blockchains and I believe it is a future of the universe. I think the Marriage of IT & Finance is mind blowing and inevitable.

Cheers

Hello, my name is Egle. I first learned about Bitcoin in 2014, when my husband was mining it in our basement. Now I have an opportunity to get involved in an upcoming blockchain project and that pushed me to sign up on Ivan Academy and try to learn as much as I can.
Hi everyone! My name is Karim and I am a recently graduated marketing student. After university, I decided to begin learning about various cryptocurrencies so that I could begin investing. Very quickly I understood how huge this industry is becoming and I knew I needed to join the field.
Im also a musician and enjoy spending most of my spare time playing with synthesizers or the guitar. Really glad to be here and I look forward to meeting more of you!

Hi Ivan, hi everyone,
My name is Dominik. I’m a freelance graphic designer, bass player, ex-architect and the part time boxer I’ve been working on some blockchain projects since 2016 designing some publications, decks, interfaces and websites, but my blockchain knowledge is very random at this point. That said, I would like to start learning it from scratch. I’m also very interested in learning crypto trading.
I’m thrilled to join this platform and to be a part of this community. I hope my knowledge will grow and become organized soon. Thank you for all of the work you do!
Hey Ivan and Crypto Pub community!
My name is Joanna, I come from Greece and I have my own work from home SEO services business since 2013. I am self-taught in SEO since 2019. I am not a technical person so creating a career for myself in SEO has been a miracle in my life and the most intense relationship with anything technical.
My first encounter with the crypto world was in 2019 when I invested a few thousand euros into BTC when it had dropped from $20K to $12K.
My second encounter was in late 2020 when BTC started to go up again. So I made my first profits when I doubled my initial investment and cashed out too early 
as it kept increasing…
I think that was it, the moment that I got more interested. I started watching YouTube videos, yours and a few others’ and got even more hooked with the industry and the potential.
I have made more profits now and I want to become a better and more knowledgeable investor in cryptocurrency. It is the only industry that I can see myself in after SEO.
I joined the Academy as I want the guidance of experts so I can evolve faster.
I am a digital nomad (at least I was before Covid) and I love the digital work lifestyle, the freedom it offers in all areas of life.
I adore Personal Development, taking walks, dining and wining with friends, intelligent and meaningful conversations, and anything revolutionary that can change one’s life for the better.
It is a pleasure to join you!
Joanna
Hi everyone, I’m Hayden from the UK.
I’m fairly new to crypto, I’ve always known about it but only taken an interest this year. Interested to find out more!
Hi all,
I’m Dan, 26 from the UK. I’ve been trading crypto’s for 1 year but have decided to take on this course in the hope of improving my trading and potentially changing my career.
Excited to see what may come of this!
Hi Guys,
Im L.K, from China, cyber security engneer. Working in a crypto exchange.
Hopefully, i can contribuite any knowledge.
Hi Guys, Erik from London here.
Worked in sales for a couple years now with a keen interest in the crypto sphere since 2016. Never really thought of making it a career but its pretty much the thing I am obsessed with on a daily basis so its probably time to make that obsession a career. I see the value of this new technological development and I believe being apart of it now is of the upmost importance.
In my personal time I used to go gym and enjoy chilling with friends before Covid came along.
Cant wait to see what lies ahead!
