Hi everyone!
I am Kris from Sofia, Bulgaria. I invested in Bitcoin and Ethereum a small amount in the peak of 2018 and sold it few months later … haha. Since my decision to get out of tourism professionally, CODIV and the crypto summer this year, now I want to be professionally involved into the blockchain eco-system. Hope to learn a lot from the Ivan on Tech Academy and help build a better permissionless world for all of us.
All the best to everyone and see you soon in the forum!
Best,
Kris

Hi there.Been invested/trading in crypto currency for a while.It has now finally become very clear to me how big blockchain as anindustry will be in the future so I want to learn and understand it better.
Hi, my name is CryptoCredentials and I have been a crypto enthusiast for a couple of years now but have put off taking these courses for some time. I believe that blockchain technology is already and will continue to change the world, predominantly for the better. I want to be a part of this revolutionary technology and want to go full time crypto, as Ivan would put it. I am in the process of placing my month’s notice at my job as a General Manager to go full time crypto to both better my life as well as the lives of countless other individuals.
Hi everyone,
My name is Choccani. I am a school teacher in the UK looking to make a change. I’ve been in crypto since about 2016. I got scared away from it when I lost some money. Now I’m back. This course is the tool I’ve been looking for, I believe.
I am interested in developing skills in Blockchain Technology.

Hello Everyone! My name is Carl. I’m a tech support advisor for one of the FAANG corporations here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of Texas. I’ve had an interest in Blockchain from a speculator’s point of view for some time now, but have grown more and more interested in learning how it works.
When not elbow deep in tech, I enjoy visiting the shooting range, working out, spending time with my family which includes “Lucky”, my 2 year old Goldendoodle, training Filipino Martial Arts (Kali) and collecting obscure bits of information/trivia.
That’s how I got the nickname, CarlTheYoda.
I’m looking forward to learning and growing with the community.
Hi Ivan and all,

Hello fellow blockchain pioneers!
My name is Raneil. I am fairly new to the world of crypto and blockchain, even though I heard about it years ago in a Wired magazine article. I read the article when it came out and just filed it under the “interesting” section in my brain. Little did I know that years later it would have a big role in our collective lives together. But as they say, “better late than never.” So here I am reconnecting to that long-ago discovery and now teaching myself about this crypto/blockchain universe and how it fits into our world as we know it.
A little background on myself: I have done many roles in my life: from student to military man to database developer to massage therapist to yoga teacher to entrepreneur. Now, I’m at a point in my life where I want to give back to society who has given so much to me. I feel that the blockchain technology can be utilized as a powerful tool in that regard. For now I’ll keep to myself how I intend to use blockchain towards that end. Don’t be surprised though if in the future I ask you to become a part of my mission.
Good to be a part of this community and I look forward to getting to know you.
Sincerely,
Raneil
Hello Ivan and fellow crypto students!

Hi my name is Ryan and I am in Tokyo Japan. I started my career as engineer for commercial trading applications, further switching jobs to my current one as a controller at a bank. I’ve been investing in crypto from 2017 and am enthusiastic about the huge potential behind it. I have from time to time been building some apps as hobby, but now really keen to go full time crypto in the near future. I am looking forward to learning with all of you!
Hi Everyone,
My name is Emanuel and I’ve just started the course with the Academy. I worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years, passionate about food, wine and I get a deep satisfaction from helping others. Developed a career as a restaurant manager… but it all came crumbling down last year. I miss my team, I miss the experiences and all the new things I used to learn from meeting our costumers… Amazing adventure. Decided to go into blockchain development as I studied this subject for the past year and …well this is the future of everything. After giving it a lot of consideration I went for it because I always wanted to learn how to code and to be able to build real life applications with just code … WOW. Also I never finished my college ( computer science ) as my family migrated to Ireland half way thru my college so I had to drop out and … didn’t fit in after the move. I am a very tech savvy person, I love technology, I think it helps us better ourselfs and if used correctly along with empathy then everyone can benefit from it. That’s about it … one other thing that made me change my career beside this goddam pandemic is the fact that me and my wife are waiting on baby #2, after spending a year @home with my 2year old I realised … I love staying at home with my kids … just love it … and working in IT can give me the opportunity to work remotely more often and all that time spent commuting, I can now spend with my kids. Now that’s all 
unless you guys want to know my shoe size and what music I like. I am extremely exited about this new journey…
Let’s Do it !
Hi All,
I’m Justin, I’ve worked for 10 years programming CNC and plasma cutting machines. I started investing in Crypto and have become absolutely fascinated by it’s potential. I haven’t felt this amount of curiosity and desire to learn in a long time, I’m hoping to harness this energy and expand my knowledge with these courses. I’m hoping to be able to make a positive contribution to this space and am looking forward to engaging with this community. Cheers
I am Tim Elliott. I graduated from the University of Michigan-flint with a Computer Science degree, in spite of having a physical disability called Cerebral Palsy. I have been watching videos about crypto and other web3 technology on YouTube but I want to stop being a spectator and I want to get my hands dirty with building blockchain software and other decentralized technology. So I can become financially independent and so I can start collaborate with web3 communities like Gitcoin and Moralis.
Nice to meet you, I’m Elmer. I’m a chief officer on merchant ships, usually.
I’m on the beach as we say and have been since my baby was born. I’ve been interested in programming for a long time and I’m incredibly interested in blockchain tech. I want to learn and be a part of this amazing revolution.
Hi I am Brian Owner/operator of BTC MINING & TRADES in Canada I am looking/continuing my experiences in learning the Defi world of these dapps and Arb and flashloan and basically everything the entire course has to offer.
Hello everyone. My name is Joe. I have been interested in crypto since March 2018. This is my first experience with programming. Ivan’s words of “What are you going to do to make money when the market collapse? Why dont you build something”, motivated me to join this program. Looking forward to learning and making new friends
