HI everyone my name is Drazen, 34 years old, from Serbia and Canada. I was pro basketball player, doing electronic waste recycling and precious metal refining. I’m following Ivan on tech for 6 months and he inspired me to try and learn programming. I believe this is the future and if you have will and time to learn, it’s never too late to be great at something.
Nice to meet you I hope I can do the same from Canada!
Hello!
My name is Marten O’Grady and I am the Canadian Ambassador for Trinity (TNC) , subreddit moderator and Telegram admin. I am also a Lab Technician at Nokia. I am responsible for power, building infrastructure, troubleshooting equipment, international shipping, and inventory. I have reached a point in my career where I am not learning anything new or am contributing to something/someone I care about at Nokia. I learned about Blockchain technology last year (November 2017) and have become very passionate about it ever since. I took it upon myself to contribute to one of the projects I have invested in and am now interested in learning how to code to become a developer. In the future I plan to contribute to changing the world with the most ground breaking and fascinating technology to date!
Hi my name is Jaime & I live in the US. Excited to learn some coding & make a career out of it. Have a great day everyone.
Hi Im Nikita, I have been following Ivan on youtube for some times and have seen his channel grow really fast.

Hi Ivan and all,
I have been in cripto since end of 2017 so no huge gains for me … yet 
. I am very exited about this new technology. I think this course is a great opportunity to learn more and maybe even find a way to make money in this space.
Hello fellow students😀I am Kari from Norway. My background is in law, I work as a teacher. I am passionate about blockchain but know very little about programming. I am conviced that blockchain will change how we do things…and it exites me.
Hi I have been interested in crypto from mid 2016 and started buying at the end of that year. I became interested because of my interest in the economy and the inevitable credit and/or currency crisis that is probably inevitable. I have followed many youtubers including Ivan and it has been a crazy ride since then. I realised that cryptocurrencies can have many more uses than just currency and that is why I am taking this course. I have no background in programming. I am 50 years old so I am not thinking about getting a job in the field but who knows?..
What’s up everybody, you can call me MLSGRFX. I’m a Father/Carpenter/Graphic Designer and Digital Video guy from New York City. Just like you I’m diving head first into this Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Revolution, Ivan’s course fit’s right in with that goal. I’m so hopeful for the future I can hardly contain myself!
Whats up guys! My name is Adel and I am a Mechanical Engineering student. I was looking to improve my basic programming knowledge for couple of years now in order to being capable of implementing own ideas into programs or apps. Last year the Bitcoin run caught my attention to the blockchain and smart contract programming. I made it to an EDX course (CS50 programming by Harvard) and am looking forward to learn more here! Great job by Ivan so far!
Hi Ivan, Hi community, my name is Josko I am an entrepreneur running a small Niche Telecommunications Company here in New Zealand, I got into Blockchain at the peak last year 2017, and I am hooked. I think blockchain is a Gift to humanity and I am keen to develop a unique service/solution for this space…
If anyone wants to reach out to collaborate? I am willing!
Hello Everyone,
My name is Eric and Crypto has been on my radar for a few years now, but really jumped into it last summer. I’ve worked in the Financial Industry now for over 12 years and interested in pivoting into this new and exciting space. The more I’ve learned the more fascinated I become and looking forward to gaining exposure to the programming side of things.
Looking forward to being part of this journey!
Oh excellent. Thx Christine. Didn’t expect people from the course nearby and now there’s even a group. That’s great. Yes, I’d love to join, though I’m traveling next weekend. But I’d definitely like to meet thereafter. Kindly let me know where and when. Feel free (or anyone in the group) to WhatsApp me on 078 8330196.
Hi there,
My name is Andrew, I am a professional drummer with a recording studio in San Diego. I’m taking this course because I think the music production industry needs to be redesigned, and blockchain provides the perfect means for doing this. I’ve designed the user interface and logical structure of functions and data flow, but don’t know how to communicate it with a blockchain. I hope this course, and the community around it, provides the knowledge I need to work on my project.
Hi Everyone,
My name is Yifat, I’m a big fan of the blockchain and crypto space and I have been learning about the technology for more than 6 months.
I registered to this course because I believe it is important to understand also the development layer.
During my journey so far I have been listening to many of Ivan sessions and it was very helpful.
Happy to be here.
