Hi, I am Lothar and live on the beautiful Island of Bermuda. Bermuda has a dominant role in the crypto and blockchain community by being one of the first countries to regulate ICO’s. As such I am hoping to contribute not only in Bermuda and the Caribbean marketspace but also among like minded individuals within this forum. We have the opportunity to guide a generation of people into a new area of self governance just like I enjoyed consuming information with the introduction of the internet. Owning and controlling your data has now become a reality with the introduction of Blockchain. Diving into the programing aspect of this exciting evolution of decentralized applications will enhance my understanding of these technologies - and by extension the difference I may be able to provide.
Hello,
Nice to meet you all. I am the Crypto_Cat! new to the programing course.
Thank you Ivan for putting all of this together!
Thanks
Hi everyone, my name i Patrik. I’m from Sweden, work as a project manager and constructs and draw (CAD) electrical schematics. I came across cryptocurrencies a few years ago and I immediately fell for the technology.
I have no education in programming but can do some basic programming in Javascript and PHP. However now I want to learn more about what I’m really interested in; smart contract programming.
Hi all.
I am very excited about the fact that i am here with you. Blockchain/crypto is my new hobby (my wife mean this is obsession). Ivan is a fantastic young, charming man. I like his YT channel a much! I was born in Poland but my second citisenship is Swedish så…Ivan, vi kan snacka svenska, kompis ;-)…
Living in Norway and some day I’ll move back to Sweden (i hope så anyway :-))
Hi everyone! Im Kraken, a sea-monster from a country close to Norway.
I really got into crypto and blockchain when bitcoin started its run from 1 to 20 k and been hooked ever since. Im intrested in the technology behind running a blockchain (mining) and how we can start developing solutions to real world problems, using blockchain technology. I really love the decentraliced possibilities that blockchain technology offers.
It is summer right now and my passion is kitesurfing so I have not had the time I wished to get started with your smart contract programming course. I love it so far, great start to the journey.
As a teen I used to know how to code in c++ and even asm but I havent used any of them for years, but I think it will make the journey a little smoother.
Love the community aspect you are developing here.
Thanks you Ivan for being great!
Great to be and grateful to be here! Lets make this world better together!
Ivan on tech will be remembered forever!
Hello everyone, I am Norbert I am from Slovakia but currently studying Software Engineering at the University in Manchester. I have been coding and developing any kind of applications for quite some time, but block-chain is a terra incognita for me. Therefore, I have enrolled into this amazing course, big thank you to Ivan and his team for that, to enhance my knowledge about the topic. I hope we all will have some fun together, while learning this exiting technology so we could be part of the new revolution.
Regards,
Norbert
Hi! I am Gabriel, I start learning about blockchain on Agust 2017. I live in Uruguay, look forward to engaged with the community 
Hey guys! I’m glad to be a part of this community. I’m here to deepen my understanding of blockchain. I’m a fortune 10 IT executive, who has been researching blockchain for the past year. I’ve also launched my own blockchain consulting company to help meet the needs of this vast community. You can check us out at: http://blokkchain.solutions/.
I look forward to talking with you all and learning even more about blockchain.
Good day! I sometimes go by Dabulamanzi or Shaka Zulu. I’m from southern Africa and now live in the Pacific NW of the U.S. I’ve been into crypto for a few months now but am interested to learn more of the nitty gritty, so to speak, and to possibly utilize smart contracts in the field of agriculture production and trade… and to a lesser degree in wealth management applications.
Hello Marty!
Interesting career!
I think this is going to be a great time to do some networking and to learn.
Greetings from BCN, Spain
Hey Vic,
I hear you on all learning Chinese! As to whether I’ll get around to it anytime soon is another thing, though. I’m interested in the Belt and Road initiative from an agriculture perspective… may enlist your help sometime creating websites in Russian and/or any Southeast Asian languages you might know.
All the best,
D
Hello community, im Carlos Zambrano, ima informatic student. Technology is one of my passions since i was very little, Cryptocurrencies got my full atention back at september 2016, the ride has been a beautifull adventure to my financial situation and the true potential of such tech has the blockchain.
Im from venezuela, situation here is very hard for most people, Crypto currencies has allow me to be able to create a very important financial income in my life, so based not only on the economics, my passion to learn and work in the blockchain space got my 100% atention to my personal life lessons, i would love to be able to share my knowledge and doubts with all of you who find this course interesting and truly life change experience for everyone here (and next ones from ivan, oh yes, im just waiting for the 3rd course xD, what ever u decide to do, i will be there!).
Rick D from Montreal, Canada here. Looking forward to learning programming with you and all the other students. I am a serial entrepreneur. Music production and distribution, E-commerce. Now Re-booting focus into blockchain tech / new decentralized business vision. Completed RMIT University blockchain development course in May 2017. Now adding smart contract programming to gain a more technical understanding of blockchain. A programming newbie. Cheers!
Hi Wellie, nice to see a fellow Montrealer here. I will have a bagel and a smoke meat in your honor. 
Interesting about that Sagittarius black hole!
Hello from Michigan (US) everyone, I’m Keely. I’m fairly new to the crypto/blockchain world. I’ve happily gone down the rabbit hole and looking forward to “playing” with others at the tea party
Thank you Ivan and Filip! I really appreciate this course and all the time that has been put into making it happen.
Hello, my name is Andy. I’m from Montana (USA) and been learning about crypto currencies and blockchain since Oct. 2017 and never looked back. Crypto is what got me interested in coding. I’m a very noob programmer. I work in finance and employee benefits, but crypto and coding will hopefully be my next career move! Looking forward to working my way through the courses guys!! Good luck everyone!!!
Hello Carlos,
I’ve been to your beautiful country. The turmoil that is occurring there now is heart wrenching. It seems you could be a light that shows the way to others…the use-fullness of cryptocurrencies.
Nice to meet you!
Keely
Hello Keely, nice to meet you too!
Well yeah, since last year i start to travel a little bit around my country (thanks to cryptos), its like a nature heaven in less than 800 km^2, im really exited about my government project to have theyr own cryptocurrency (please dont go to politic, just the conceptual idea proposal of them), this kind of initiatives are still very young here, i could bet there is less than 1 million people acknowledge about cryptos.
All my life i’ve been the kinda of people who think “in every crisis, there’s tons of opportunities”, maybe theres an opportunity for me to help my country in order to be able to live here in the future.
I just need the knowledge from masters like ivan and off course my best desires of learn always something new.
Greetings community, I’m Andrew, 29.
I was born and raised in Brazil. Moved to the USA/California about a year ago on a student visa. My major is Computer Science. Have been interested in programming and technology in general since I was a little kid. I have some experience with C++ and Java.
First heard about BTC in 2014 but never bought any until 2016. The profits I made helped me realize my dream of studying in the USA and buying a car here.
I’m very excited to take this course. I’m looking forward to learning with all of you guys.
