Hello All, I’m Michael from Russia. I’ve been programming for a long time already. Had a chance to touch all aspects of computer science. Have been working on everything from low level programming(drivers for different devices and multi os support for applications) to EE programming. Very excited about learning blockchain programming as a new and very innovative technology

Hello! My name is Leeloo! I am french and I live in New York! I am currently in France waiting for a US visa and its been 2 months I started to invest and trade cryptos. I have always been interesting in learning programing and I am happy to start now. I would like to create a fashion sustainable label tech oriented. I have several app ideas and this is why I want to learn programing to have some backgrounds and be able to work with programmers. I think that having some background in tech will help me to share my vision better and be able to communicate with programmers. @ivan, Thank you for your youtube channel and your courses!! Youre one of my favorite people in the crypto community. Im learning a lot thanks to you!

Hi guys, I live mostly in Switzerland and sometimes I reside in Holland. I have a background in entrepreneurship, coded (HTML & Javascript) for a while as a hobby and I have three years Treasury experience within the financial sector (treasury department at an asset manager). Since 1.5 year I was grabbed by the Blockchain and Cryptospace and ready to get my hands dirty myself. Ivan’s course (smart contracts) seemed the perfect way to get more into programming in this space. Excited to start building and be part of this community. I think we are all part of a financial revolution and it seems the perfect combination between finance and entrepreneurship. Good luck to all and till later! Thanks Ivan for the daily knaawladge and this awesome course. I am always available for questions, collaborations, crypto discussions or just a chat. Regards. Thijs

Barry here from Ireland. Heard about Bitcoin mining back in 2012 but never stuck with it. Got back into the hype in November 2017 and bought my first Bitcoin at 20k. Opps!
I play soccer and run a bit. I keep myself fit and love almost every sport out there. I feel sport if the best way to stay healthy and keeping the mind happy!
I love coding. Started when I was 8 years old on an Amstrad. Buying those PC Magazines to get the snippets of code to test out. I have my own small streaming company in Ireland and concentrate currently on pool/billiards.
Be great to see you guys follow us on YouTube when I hope to implement some of this course into the business.

Looking forward to meeting new coders!

Hey Thomas,
Glad to hear you’re loving Ireland! Sounds like you are Irish by now alright…lol! Nice to have two places you can call home too.
Good to meet someone else here from Eire…I literally know no one here who’s into the crypto space. Maybe I’m of the wrong generation…at 43 I’m sure I’m in the minority. There are a lot older people in the space too but none of my social circle or family have any interest.
Good luck with the course!

Hi my name is Roel. I am from the Philippines. I am an electronics engineer by profession but after being convinced last year that blockchain and cryptocurrencies is the future I am devoting all my time to learn about this field. This is my second time enrolling Ivan course after enjoying the first course.
My biggest goal is to be able to build a blockchain company and solve problems in my country through blockchain and cryptocurrencies and maybe a co-founder? haha. Anyone from the Philippines , high five.

Hi, I’m Banners. That’s what most people end up calling me. My interest in Blockchain tech and Crypto Currencies comes from reading Andreas Antonopoulos’ books and watching a number of interesting people on Youtube like Ivan. Think I like the potential democratizing nature of them.
I’ve been working in Financial Services since graduating from University. Most recently working on Bank Remediation projects. I’m looking to learn a new skill and see if my interest in the area could lead to something more significant.
Looking forward to getting stuck into the course.
