Hi guys,
I’m Pietro from Italy. I’m an environmental engineer and some months ago I got interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency. I hope to improve my knowledge in this field with this course making also some networking, that maybe can bring to some interesting collaborations and projects…let’s see.

Good to have you here Michael, welcome to the club
Hello everybody,
My name is Duje and I am a Structural Engineer. I have been interested in the blockchain technology for some time and I am very excited to get more familiar with the technology itself. I love learning new things and coding was something that I always wanted to try.
It is great to be here.

Hey you all!
Great being in this group.
My name is Sofi and I’m from Sweden and have I started out in the blockchain area in the end of last year.
Don’t know why but it caught me! So I started to blog about the subject in Swedish - since there was so much information in english, wanted other to reach information more easier. Also thankfully joined Ivans first course, a totally great one. Thanks for a great course!
Also signed up for the programming course and also the third coming up. So I just started out with the programming course. Haven’t been programming much or close to nothing before. Yes some html and css - but as any language you have to practice it to be good at it.
And also I started a podcast about this subject - also in swedish - want to reach the swedish audience with a pod-colleauge - doing our best to explain as simple as possible - easier said than done… But it sure is fun.
So why crypto, why blockchain and all things related to it ? Well. I feel quite certain it is our future in many ways.
Otherwise - I guess I’m an “oldie” in this area when looking at the statistics. But hope that’ll change.
I might not be a smart contract programmer, but I find it important to have the knowledge. With the goal to work in this area/industry in the future.
I try to find time to workout, go for MTB rides and to of course hang out with my family and especially my son. When I’m not working or studying.
Looking forward to get to know you
Sofi

Hey all, my name is Lloyd and a big hello to everyone and also big thanks to Ivan and the team for setting this up. Have known about crypto for many years on a low level basis, buying and selling etc. Absolutely convinced with the merits of what blockchain tech can achieve and want to learn more and be a part of this revolution!

Hey Ivan (and community), I completed the Deep Fundamentals course which was very informative! I’m now about to dive into the Smart Contract Programming. Excited but also a bit daunting as I have only cursory knowledge of programming in general. However, I have been in the crypto space for years so I believe it is important to see what goes on ‘under the hood.’ Thanks for setting up this course and building this community. Very helpful!

Hello community and Ivan,
I am reviewing the Ivan on tech course as I have some time to do so now.
My crypto days started some time between winter 2012 and fall 2013. Yes, like many, especially in the early days, bitcoin creeped up on me. I was very skeptical and missed many good cheep opportunities. Since fall of 2013 I have only been working with verifiable, decentralized, cryptographically secure, technology. Recently, I made a definition of cryptocurrency that I have requested feedback on:
Cryptocurrency is a non-debt based, irreversible, digital asset, with an intrinsic value in the security of the payment system and decentralized governance structure that runs on a global transparent ledger on the internet.
What are your thoughts? Does this definition cover the subject?

Hi Everyone!
My name is Hamish and I live in the UK but am from New Zealand originally.
I became hooked on Bitcoin in April last year and for better or worse appear to be stuck in awe with it. After being part of the bull run and having Asic mined both Bitcoin and Litecoin I feel the natural progression was to learn more about the inner workings and try and actually help/build/work with what I feel so passionately about.
So I am here! I look forward to making some new friends and learning an awful lot!

hello keely, sorry i have been offline on the course for a long time, now im back and fully loaded, sorry i didnt read your question later, what u mean with VZ? my country i guess right?
hope ur doing great!
Hi Ivan and all others,
My name is Harrie and I’m from the Netherlands. I just finished the BC Fundamentals course and I think is was great. Thanks a lot for facilitating all this. I’m now starting the coding course to get a basic understanding of programming and what the possibilities are. Not that I’m planning to become a hardcore progammer but more to be able to interact with programmers. My ambition is to participate in projects as a functional consultant or project manager. I’m also planning to signup for the new BC for business course which is probably more suitable for me. I have a background as SAP FI/CO consultant and I’m currently a Finance Manager in a large multinational.
Let’s try and make a better world, I believe Blockchain can help with this.

Hello, I just signed up for the coding program, I am excited! Thank you Ivan so much for providing this community and course. I have been TRYING to get into a coding rhythm for 2 years now…but…like I like coding and solving problems and design but…I don’t know there didn’t seem to be any meaning behind my motivation. I never got very far. Now with this course that is focused on blockchain and smart contracts I feel like a kid in a candy store I just want more!
I’ve been teaching in China and missed it when Bitcoin went up. I tried to buy in February or March but I did not know enough to on how to buy because China has clamped down on buying bitcoin and other cryptos. I really try not to think about how much money my geographic location cost me. 
.
Other than Crypto I’m incredibly passionate about science and education, I’m always thinking and researching how can this be taught better, particular with language acquisition. However I’ve taken some time off and I am living in thailand so I can devote myself to this course a good 4- 6 hours a day along with my thai lessons. I also want to add that I am 40 and you never know what changes life will give you. I saw a video by Ivan “is 30 to old to learn programming”. LOL, its a dangerous trap to think like that. I did for the longest time.

Hi. My name is JD I have been watching Ivan from his first videos. love his enthusiasm and way of teaching. I am in construction,but have always been interested in coding and tech. I was to co-creator of a construction management app that did quite well.
It sold for 50 million but I was mostly cut out, if I understood the IP better and was a better business man, it would have been very different and I believe a much better product.
thanks for the course!

Hello everyone! My name is John, aka JayLancer, and I am really excited to be here. From the first time I heard about Blockchain technology, over a year ago, I was hooked. I quickly understood the potential it had for mass disruption. Ever since then it has become the main focus of my time. Along the way I discovered various YouTubers who I learned a lot from, such as Datadash, Boxmining, Suppoman, and of course Ivan. Fast forward to today and I have found myself in a position where I did not like the path my life was going, in terms of university/work. I told myself that I need to do something that is meaningful to me…and Crypto/Blockchain is that something!
So in addition to just being an investor in Crypto, I am now going to make a career out of it, which I think is so cool. Other than that, I live in Toronto 
, and I enjoy Hockey, Video Games, TV, playing sports, and food haha.
Anyways guys, thanks for listening and let’s get coding! 
I know very little about programming so the transformation should be awesome.
Jay

Hi Everyone:), I have been following the crypto space for a bit over a year now by following several YouTubers including Good Morning Crypto:). My background is container shipping and transport, so programming is completely new territory. I just completed the Blockchain Deep Fundamentals Course which I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to continue the learning and hope to meet some like-minded people:).
