Hi, My name is Mehtaab - Absolutely fascinated by crypto, the first crypto channel I came across was Ivan’s on Youtube which has convinced me I need to invest in self development. I do feel I am late to the crypto party, but when looking at the bigger picture I am actually early.
Thanks
Hello friends and fellow classmates!
My name is Angel and I currently reside in a Caribbean Island called Dominican Republic. I recently joined the academy and just finalized Blockchain & Bitcoin 101 and totally forgot to introduce myself. Im am truly blown away by how thorough the material is and of course the ease of having such a large community available OnDemand for help when needed.
My intention is to take as many courses as possible to hopefully become an expert in Blockchain technology and eventually try to become an ambassador of the Academy here in Dominican Republic and Latino America! Everything is so overwhelming once you go down the rabbit whole, I just cant get enough of the information and its almost like a bad drug addiction, only blockchain and crypto are like the highest grades of Medicinal Cannabis! LOL
Thanks again @ivan and the academy for working so hard to bring together such brilliant people I hope all are well and write me sometime…
Hello,
My name is Chuck and I spent the last 10 years as an IT consultant upgrading Microsoft Domains, Domain Controllers and Servers. I have been interested in blockchain technology for a few years and want to expand my knowledge of programming. I have taken classes in the basics of programming, but have never done it professionally so the skills seem fade quickly.
I live in North Carolina, USA and my main hobbies are surfing (in the ocean, not on the web) and disc golf (golf with frisbee’s not clubs).
Hello, my name is Nick. I am a 55 year old father of three boys. My two, older sons (twins) recently graduated college… and, one of them has a job as a software engineer. I began my crypto journey several years ago, investing in crypto. However, when I discuss crypto with my programmer son now, he speaks a language that I don’t completely grasp. When I saw Ivan’s blockchain academy, I realized that this is my opportunity to gain a better understandig of this world in which I have invested some of my hard-earned money. Also, and more importantly, my current employment is a bit tenuous in this changing environment… and, I am looking to add some fresh skills to augment my background in both operations management and sales. You never know what the future holds.
Anyways, I am looking forward to the journey.
Hello, I’m Martin, from England. I’m here to learn as much about crypto and blockchain technology as possible. I’m quite new to it so will most probably be seeking assistance here.
Greetings Ivan and everyone,
I am fairly new to coding video game and blockchain technology. I have however, created apps with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I have also written code it C++ as well. I am excited and look forward to connecting working with everyone on here.
Thanks for reading this,
Brian Kerney-El
Good luck, Jason

Hello, my name is Ivan and I am from Bulgaria 
and in 2016 I start living in Copenhagen, Denmark. 
until now. I was passionate for a long time about crypto and I start to research and ask questions about it and at some point, one of my colleagues from the hotel I was working with told me that he starts to invest in Bitcoin and I should do the same, he sends me the video of Ivan on tech in youtube and it was very interesting to hear and see someone talking with that kind of passion about it. I liked it follow it and here I am. I want to be full-time in crypto now because of all of that even though I didn’t have some similar background knowledge and I don’t think is a coincidence that I end up here. I am happy about my life but I want to work on something related to this because all of you know the situation right now: ronaaa
Hey there, my name is Conner! I’m 27 years old and I work in a restaurant. I know basically nothing about blockchain and defi but this really seems like a great place to learn and I cant wait to start.

Hi Hannah,
Nice to meet you. I agree with you and CryptoNanni so happy to make so nerdy friends too

Hello!
My name is Vincent and I am extremely happy to be participating in this program. I have been working in IT for the last 15 years; however, non have been more exciting than venturing into the blockchain arena. It’s my goal to learn as much about blockchain development as possible and then add that technology to the list of services I am offering as a consultant. In fact, I would love to specialize in smart contract development and deployment on the Ethereum blockchain. I also would like to get to know others who are in a similar position as me. It’s the first time ever that I have been on the front end and not the tail end of a tech boom. Lastly, when I am not working I enjoy cycling, traveling internationally, and creole cooking. Feel free to reach…I look forward to connecting with others.
Hello everyone, my name is Dimitris and Im from Athens Greece. Very happy to finally join the community. Been following Ivan from 2017 but only now after covid decided to go full time on crypto.
I have a background in finance, so defi space should be a good place to start my new adventure. Thanks to Ivan it should be a great place to start my transition.
Lets goooo! 
Internet is a bitch and therefore I do not like to share info about myself, who is interested can DM me.
I pretend to be Aaron and I live in Europe.
I used to work in quantitative finance developing pricing models and financial products and then I wanted to trade these products so I did for several years.
Currently, I’m just enjoying life and looking for some projects that might interest me and where I might be helpful.
I become interested in crypto before 2018 maybe 2017 when I started mining coins and continue to do so until now but just for fun. I see in crypto many things especially a way to decrease corruption in the world.
Certainly, I’m in crypto in order to achieve financial freedom for myself and others which I probably did. I trade coins, futures and options on crypto and I hate paying high taxes on my earnings :).
I do so many things that it is difficult to mention.
Untraditionally, I’m interested in self-development, consciousness, reality, truth, buddhism, advaita, zen and I like doing yoga, pranayama and other related things, in that sense I’ve got even teacher training in ashtanga.
Also, I love interesting women, so don’t hesitate to reach me to inspire me ;).
I publish my takes related to crypto/finance from time to time on twitter as @aarigsR .
Greetings!
My name is Gerardo and I live in the United States. I am a web developer that has focused primarily on UI/UX. I run a small consulting business in addition to my full-time employment. I am looking to add blockchain as a service offering and hoping to make the transition full-time to blockchain development.
Additionally, I want to learn and become proficient in crypto to have a better understanding of the various use-cases and opportunities.
I love playing tabletop games with our family. I collect comics and trading cards from my favorite sports team. I look forward to contributing and learning from this community.
Hi, I’m Frances Anne (Frankie for short) from London. Apart from starting to buy and trade cyrpto as a beginner back in 2020, I have no background whatsoever in blockchain and want to really do it full time. Been following and watching Ivan across all social media and I’m finally ready to commit to learning and doing this as a profession!
I truly believe in the value of what this academy has to offer and I’m so excited to soak it all in!
