I bought your Class, when my 1st cryptos were up 100%, Now they are down 20% off purchase price BUT because of your channel, I'm fascinated with the technology. I'm still looking forward to your class so I could learn as much as possible.
Love your videos! I wonder what do you think will happen when all the bitcoins will be mined? The incentive to run full node will disappear or the transaction fees will skyrocket
Any chance you could start a programmer playlist (sidechain, lol) for devs? I'd love to see a playlist that focuses on the crypto market from a the perspective of a dev interested in the app possibilities for the existing platforms (BitCoin, Ethereum, etc.) and just as cool, cover the new ICO's like WaltconChain, Neo, etc.. It would also be great to get periodic updates on things like Rootstock, etc. and the progress they are (or or are not) making, whether or not the platform is having trouble delivering at all, if they are scaling successfully, if they are maintaining the covenant of decentralization or if there are forces involved that are trying to take control of the underlying blockchain. My two cents, oh wait, 6 cents, oh no, 1 cent! :)
I was thinking to trade bitcoins for long and found impressive reviews on this software (Link Here >>> *4BitcoinMoney. Com* ). And then started with it, I found it very impressive so far.?
Just subscribed me and my brother (as a holiday gift) 2 your academy Ivan. Looking forward getting on board with all the great content and courses! Cu februari 1st have a great holiday
Ivan, I signed up for your course without any second thoughts. I am myself a programmer. Right now studying the 'Mastering Bitcoin' by Andreas. Did you finish the book? And did you run the entire blockchain related codes on your Mac? Please answer a bit in detail. As I am planning to install it on my MacBook Pro...
I think you will be amazed there are a lott off empty shells ... which people need to be educated about and the real projects need to be more understood.
as long as there are the worlds most regarded economic experts that talk about it as in "virtual currency" there is a chance to git rich big time because if they still dont know that its not virtual and never was there is a chance for the normal folk making a buck, big buck. im surprised to see the "experts" lacking so far behind - and it only shows that todays money is in the hands of total idiots that really dont know shit about economy and the future of it lol i dont know wheather to off my self or go crazy ecstatic and finally see the way to a world thats gonna bring back the happy :))
Hi Ivan, I am sure the content of the course is going to be great, but what is in the bag exactly? Could you please provide some sort of syllabus/curriculum for the course?
Fantastic as always Ivan - thank you for what you do for the community and I am glad you are starting your own academy and monetizing your channel. Cheers from California
Ever thought of doing a video explaining the core code of bitcoin line by line, at least of the main features? Proof of work, how transactions get communicated to the network, private key confirmation, block building, transaction selection and prioritization based on fees, sha256, merkle trees, elliptic curve functions and any other features you find interesting? Is that even possible without reviewing the code in its entirety? I think this could help a lot of people (me especially!) better understand the technology. Looking for you on steemit!!
I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that have some knowledge of programming that are trying to understand bitcoin a its anatomy but are not at that level, not in a million years. (myself included)
Pedro Gonçalves It'll be hard to understand it fully bcos it originates not from a mind of a human but a superintelligent AI. Just the fact how tricky it created blockchain/mining makes me shiver. It rewards you for computing power, you give "her" ur "virtual energy" and she rewards you with blocks you can sell in the market, the more she gets the more powerful she becomes.
If a person keeps the paraphrase and backup of their wallet safe, what need is there to also store backups of the private keys to every address used? Doesn't the wallet passphrase/backup give the person access to all of it?
I am new to crypto and I am facing my first bubble.But I am not cashing out. I invested my money in projects that have a promising blockchain applications that could potentially change the world. Sometimes I do fear a bit about losing my money but I believe in the potential of blockchain. Keep spreading the knowledge Ivan!! :)
Roger Ganga Sundararaj there is no need to be fearful. If you are spending money that you don't care if you lose you should not fear. Spending money with fear is dangerous and ignorant when investing.
Ivan, i'm interested in your thoughts on whether you think it's possible to speak of different responses towards crypto based on nationality / culture? What I mean is, have you yourself ever noticed (obviously in a very broad sense, because naturally it varies person to person) that certain cultures / nationalities are more open to the idea of crypto (i.e. willing to invest and learn) than others. I am just curious if perhaps, based on historical experience of money and financial institutions, this has an effect on people's attitudes towards crypto today. The obvious comparison would be citizens of former communist countries vs free market countries, or countries where there has been (hyper)inflation vs those with fairly stable currencies in the longrun.. (wondering if there is material there to write an essay about ;) ) thanks in advance
If you thought you bought late, hold, it will rise again and much higher. Of course. Now is a great time to buy more, as it may never be this low again.
I don't see it as a crash 20- 30% fluctuations are normal in crypto, if you can't handle the swing, crypto may not be the space for those people, that's the beauty of it IMO, good time to buy
Ivan, I love your videos and how you make everything so accessible to those of us who aren't exactly techies....I just have a question about the academy: Is it a self-paced course? I work shiftwork so my participation might be irregular, plus, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with all other students as I am a real noob! Vicki
I think your channel has much more detailed content than any out there. Plus its all so understandable for people who have no or little technical background. Hope you will do well in upcoming years.
Thanks Ivan. All I can say is that 2017 has been a very successful year. Now we have the holidays just in front of us and it makes perfect sense that we see this dive (people taking profits). Don't let fear overcome and influence yourselfs. Happy holidays and get ready for a great 2018!!
Bravo!!! this video should be the official intro video to every beginner in cryptocurrencies. I have subscribed to your channel, I have a good feeling that you will be able to share more light on the technology behind cryptocurrencies due to the fact that you are a programmer. I can not wait to see your next video.
Ivan you absolutely nailed the thoughts on this price correction on many levels. Well said. My own personal view on this is that the price drop was initiated by some highly expected Christmas profit taking, an obvious point in time for this to happen especially with the recent mega-bull run. The initial drop this caused then spooked the masses and it just snowballed as it does with crypto. I have no doubt that it will be business as usual in the New Year and the trajectory will resume across the board. I used it as a great opportunity to buy those alt coins I had missed out on.
What you think about UBIQ Ivan? Seems a really solid coin to me, no premine, no ico, a really solid dev team with Julian Yap (Bittrex) and Luke Williams. Have been making solid progress quietly, no large marketing yet but they are on track to become one of the biggest gainers of 2018.
I have around 400 UBIQ, think im gonna add to that, it should be around 100k/200k satoshi's at least. Market cap is not even 200 million, while its a much better coin then most in the top 50
Quick question if anyone knows: if someone had a LOT of bitcoin (like enough to move the market) but lost their keys or whatever needed to access it, will the bitcoin be unrecoverable and unusable forever? (or until someone finds a way to access it)
I've been messing around with bitcoin and litecoin since about 2012 but I think one of the main problems with bitcoin in the past few weeks and months is that the demand has risen so fast that there doesn't seen ti be enough mining power to confirm transactions fast enough for the average user and that current the transaction fee's are being pushed up allot as well due to the high transaction volume.
I like Hagnesta hill and Isola; I burned them and rocked them in my nissan sentra for a year or so. Im not familiar with 999 but am listening to it as I write.
I am a new investor and I panicked nd sold all the investment at the lowest after checking mny forecasts which suggested it'll go even low.... I want to invest again....now it's going back up....any guesses that it'll go down again and I wait for that to invest? Or do I invest now? Long time investors please give ur valuable opinions
Everyone please stay calm on bitcoin. If you're one of the people who bought bitcoin at 19k then PLEASE do not sell. Stay calm. This is a much needed pullback. Bitcoin had just gone up too much too fast and this correction was inevitable . This reminds me of what happened in 2013. Bitcoin started the year at around 10 bucks and finished at around 1100. And over the next year bitcoin went down over 80% to around 200, a loss of over 80%. And I'm sure a lot of people who bought at the highs panicked sold. But here's the thing. Had you had strong hands and NOT panicked and sold you would be up LARGE today. And when you look at a long term chart of bitcoin today that 80% decline from 2013 to 2015 is barely noticeable . Just think long term. Look at this pullback as a chance to BUY ON SALE!!!. Dollar cost average. Just remember. You don't get hurt on a roller coaster if you DO NOT JUMP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! Show less REPLY
IVAN!!!! Please make a video on Hashgraph and what you think about it. Viability, comparison to blockchain, etc. It would be great to know your opinion and thoughts on this technology :D
Corrections are to be expected as smart money is getting into the game. However we should not panic. Buy low sell high. Simple. These dips are perfect buying opportunities.
Hi Ivan! I love your vids, keep up the good work! Btw, I have just red some days ago about an amazing technology, called hashgraph which I think can be a solution for the problems what blockchain has.....it would be great if you could make a video about it :)
Andreas told me to turn off all screens. I trust in that. Thanks for your commentary Ivan. We need not to panic, everything is just fine. It's the last Friday before Christmas, traders take their money of exchanges this time of the year. BTC no diferent. Enjoy the holidays.

I would love to buy it if I could buy it with crypto currencies ;)
😅😅
"Go beyond the price" I think this will be the message of 2018. Great video as always Ivan.
Ivan's course are worth it, quality content as usual
Always looking forward to your videos! :)
Oh man you got me with the "It's like they are collecting pokemon." comment. Too funny!
So... which pokemon did you catch today? lol
Love your videos! I wonder what do you think will happen when all the bitcoins will be mined? The incentive to run full node will disappear or the transaction fees will skyrocket
the idea is that the number of fees will be a lot higher, this is a gradual change, I have a video called "mining apocalypse" on this as well :)
Won't the last bitcoin be mined in 2109?
2140
Who cares. We'll be dead lol
You had me at Pokémons!
Any chance you could start a programmer playlist (sidechain, lol) for devs?

My two cents, oh wait, 6 cents, oh no, 1 cent! :)
I agree. I feel like there has been less developer videos. I would honestly love to see a blockchain coding bookcamp endorsed by you @Ivan on Tech
Agreed, blockchain, bitcoind script, and smart contract dev.
Robert, great point.
It's a healthy correction. Agree on the ongoing knowledge.
Aldo Solares it wasnt a correction
please, elaborate
We all know the value is in the blockchain technology. Prices will go up or down ❤️❤️
Oscar Alsing what are your thoughts on Hashgraph?
I was thinking to trade bitcoins for long and found impressive reviews on this software (Link Here >>> *4BitcoinMoney. Com* ). And then started with it, I found it very impressive so far.?
vineleak, great comment, but what tech are you talking about?
that makes it useless
I'm going to buy your course. Legend.
The answer is quite simple, When the price declines HOLD, do not trade or else you sacrifice your crypto gains/holdings, period.
Hej Ivan, What do u think about Hashgraph? Think its the new upgraded Blockchain?
Just subscribed me and my brother (as a holiday gift) 2 your academy Ivan. Looking forward getting on board with all the great content and courses! Cu februari 1st have a great holiday
Please keep on saying the word "Ethereum" as much as possible, I love hearing you pronounce it.
and volatile :)
godu1111 lol!!
Instablaster...
Ivan you think there's any corelation between market goes down with long holiday (christmas and New year) cos people need more cash than usual ?
Ivan, I signed up for your course without any second thoughts. I am myself a programmer. Right now studying the 'Mastering Bitcoin' by Andreas. Did you finish the book? And did you run the entire blockchain related codes on your Mac? Please answer a bit in detail. As I am planning to install it on my MacBook Pro...
Wonderful video! Can you do a video on Decred?
Totaly agree @Ivan :) Lets do some more Github deep dives
And explore the tech behind all those new projects.
I think you will be amazed there are a lott off empty shells ... which people need to be educated about and the real projects need to be more understood.
as long as there are the worlds most regarded economic experts that talk about it as in "virtual currency" there is a chance to git rich big time because if they still dont know that its not virtual and never was there is a chance for the normal folk making a buck, big buck. im surprised to see the "experts" lacking so far behind - and it only shows that todays money is in the hands of total idiots that really dont know shit about economy and the future of it lol i dont know wheather to off my self or go crazy ecstatic and finally see the way to a world thats gonna bring back the happy :))

Saw the drop so I decided to buy bitcoin for the first time (after studying for weeks) :) nice decision
Спасибо за очередное видео, Ваня! Самые адекватные и взвешанные комментарии по криптовалютной теме :3
он из Швеции,но акцент 1в1 как русский
Also, is your academy course useful for devs too, or is it targeted towards non-devs?
This one is for non devs :)
Ok, thanks. I wish you many students and a Happy New Year!
thanks, happy new year!
Can you explain why you didn't warn everybody before the crash ? Thanks

Ryan Tyre lollllll yes sir
i would bet my bottom dollar on it. when i saw the dip i was drooling for a chance to buy in.. good call.
Do you have a beginner course on programming apps for blockchain?
Ivan, I love your videos and how you make everything so accessible to those of us who aren't exactly techies....I just have a question about the academy: Is it a self-paced course? I work shiftwork so my participation might be irregular, plus, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with all other students as I am a real noob! Vicki
Yes it’s self paced!:)
nice som fan! bra video! tack för all info!!
1st channel i ever smashed that bell :)
is the course of you like an online course or what? Where is it?
I think your channel has much more detailed content than any out there. Plus its all so understandable for people who have no or little technical background. Hope you will do well in upcoming years.
Thanks Ivan. All I can say is that 2017 has been a very successful year. Now we have the holidays just in front of us and it makes perfect sense that we see this dive (people taking profits). Don't let fear overcome and influence yourselfs. Happy holidays and get ready for a great 2018!!
Will you do a video about TRX? Please :)
Thank you! Every other person talking about crypto price, percentages, gains losses etc but no one even looking at the technology behind it!
Bravo!!! this video should be the official intro video to every beginner in cryptocurrencies. I have subscribed to your channel, I have a good feeling that you will be able to share more light on the technology behind cryptocurrencies due to the fact that you are a programmer.

Do you think Hashgraph or Tangle will win out?
was XBOX live taking payments in bitcoins back in 2010 or so? I think I remember seeing that
Yes so true. Buy, hold and keep learning. Thanks mate.

It's already starting to moon, I'm lucky i got mine, I think they should go 10x easily
Hey I was wondering what is this crypto called JINN does anyone know anything about
do you think they will builld a market of crypto on top of hashgraph
How and where can a person buy?
Good going brother....! Keep up the good work...!
Is there any swidish exchange that I can use to buy altcoins?
Quick question if anyone knows: if someone had a LOT of bitcoin (like enough to move the market) but lost their keys or whatever needed to access it, will the bitcoin be unrecoverable and unusable forever? (or until someone finds a way to access it)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great to know that you have a good contact with him, Im from Sweden.
Smart investors buy when the see blood on the street 🔥 red days
Thank for the video brew! Bought two more coins yesterday.
The best channel for cryptocurrency and blockchain I found so far! Congrats dude and keep on the good work!
Why did you post that Ripple was double digits in the red in the video description? It was one of the only coins that didn't fall.
Great viewpoint! Like what you think about the blcokchain tech.
Where is the video you said you were going to add to comments about reevaluating the crypto market
Thank you very much my friend.
go on like this.
How to pay for Course with BTC
Is the price not going down because people are selling bitcoin for christmas and new year
I've been messing around with bitcoin and litecoin since about 2012 but I think one of the main problems with bitcoin in the past few weeks and months is that the demand has risen so fast that there doesn't seen ti be enough mining power to confirm transactions fast enough for the average user and that current the transaction fee's are being pushed up allot as well due to the high transaction volume.
First? Great assessment. Weed out the weak hands. Flush the weak coins.
Wow
Well said, I agree with everything you shared!
I am in IT but have close to zero coding experience but would like to learn and do Blockchain coding. where to start ? Thanks :)
Hey Ivan, ever hear of a band called Kent? I fell in love with their music when I was a young buck
Kent is awesome ❤️ I love 999
I like Hagnesta hill and Isola; I burned them and rocked them in my nissan sentra for a year or so. Im not familiar with 999 but am listening to it as I write.
Thanks for sharing your valuable information and your emphasis on knowledge acquisition!
"Collecting pokemon" that was on point XD
so did you sell everything at an 80% loss, or did you actually keep your Investment and let it make you 15-17 thousand dollars per coin now ?
I am a new investor and I panicked nd sold all the investment at the lowest after checking mny forecasts which suggested it'll go even low....
I want to invest again....now it's going back up....any guesses that it'll go down again and I wait for that to invest? Or do I invest now?
Long time investors please give ur valuable opinions
I am very worried about the number of unconfirmed transactions increasing on the bitcoin network, what do you think?
Great bro! Subscribed
knowledge is power! keep up the good work Ivan x

I really enjoyed watching this video and learned something new. Do you have any recommendations where to start investing for beginners?
I think is time to hold and time to buy too.
this comment didn't aged well 😉😉😉🙃
Ivan, what do you think about RaiBlock (XRB)??
Corrections are to be expected as smart money is getting into the game. However we should not panic. Buy low sell high. Simple. These dips are perfect buying opportunities.
Well said. I share pretty much exact same view point on the situation. I can sign under this with my hands and legs...
Watch the futures market for Bitcoin.. Remember the 40% dip rule, buy the dips.. We've seen this before..
Thanks Ivan.
Any interest in partnering with BitDegree for your course?
