Hi Im Franco
I got into crypto last year and have been hooked ever since.
Ive learnt a lot from watching youtubers like Ivan.
Ive been mining using contracts then went on to building rigs then trading using bot.
This is the next step for me is to look into blockchain creation and smart contract coding

Hello my fellow smart contract learners!
My name is Michael and I currently live in Santa Clara, California. I received my Computer Engineering degree from San Jose state University and have been working at Google since my 2012 graduation. In 2015, I became less interested in my computer engineering field and started to devote my time and efforts to investing in the stock market. Eventually, I stumbled across ether and bought 100 ethers at $8 each. I didn’t understand much back then, it felt like gambling, so I sold them all at $20. The stock investor in me told me to get out while I’m up!
Eventually, I learned this was bigger than just a silly gamble and is not just a fad. I want to be a part of this digital revolution. Thank you Ivan for sharing your knowledge and organizing this community. I believe this content will be PRICELESS and probably have more value than my 5 years at San Jose State. My ultimate goal is to learn (and share!) enough here to get a job in the blockchain/DLT/smart contract field.
See ya’ll around and happy coding!

Hi Alan. This is Chetan. I second your though of spreading the information as I see educating people about blockchain is one of the biggest challenge and needs contributions from all.
All the best.

Hi there.
Denmark calling.
Want to take this course to get familiar with the beauty of blockchain coding as the Cobol I was tought in the late 80’ies does not quite fit into the blockchain space.
Taking the course together with my 13year old son so the next generation of the coding family will be ready for the revolution.
See you

Hello people. I’m Chetan from Bangalore, India. I work as sales manager for a private bank. I started following blockchain since December 2017. I aim to educate people about how the technology can benefit them by improving current business practises. Ivan is my go to teacher for anything blockchain related. I have completed fundamentals course and now enrolled in programming course. I believe technical understanding is of significant importance for building and implementing solutions.

Hello Everyone,
I am 34 from Egypt and currently living in Malmö/Sweden. I have Computer Science BHs. Kinda sad that i was more into networking than programming as it would be way easier for me to learn this course now.
Been into Cryptos for 14 month now… Learned so much but mostly the hard way! But then i put almost everything else on the side when i dived deep into the Blockchain technology. Bitcoin was and still restricted in Egypt so wasn’t really under my radar.
Anyway i believe now is the best time to build and start new projects. already got few ideas on my mind and working with a good programmer friend on the first one but i want to learn even more and do thigs my self so here i am
I’m from Los Angeles, but living abroad (Saudi Arabia). I’m working in higher education quality and specifically built a database (in access) but have been exploring how to make it better and bring it to the web so that others in my organization can access it securely. I signed up for MySQL web developer course in Udemy last October, but am have been frustrated because in the beginnning they said I didnt need any programming background, but then referred me to a website to learn HTML, CSS and now PHP. I would have appreciated knowing this from the beginning becaue I did not expect it to drag out like this and having to learn read about (not really learn) these other scripts I was lead to believe I didn’t need to know. Anyway, I’m growing and excited and don’t feel that I have wasted too much time. Looking forward to the course and learning how to share and learn in this community.
Hi Guys,
I am Kranthi kiran from India. I am working as a Test analyst(Data: ETL). I consider myself as a beginner in programming skills becoz I am very much new to JAVA and C++ . I was very much impressed with the idea of blockchain and decentralised system. I believe that the blockchain technology will overtake other sectors over the coming years and I really want to be part of it.
Thank you

Hi everyone.
My name is Christian Barrios, I am from Colombia. I am a Electronic Engineer, but coding is my hobby. I met Bitcoin the last year because the hype was huge, so I decided to research about it and I realized that this is not only the price.
I like soccer a lot, I speak Spanish as native language. And I hope to learn a lot about Blockchain Programing learning together.
