peter Peter Atlanta Because crypto opened my eyes to a world in which I could build in, thrive in, and LIVE in with my peeps! I love racing, cars, and everything automotive. F1 is my jam.

Hello everybody! I think its necessary to introduce myself as a member of the Peter P-Rep team! My name is Corey Costa, ICON Ambassador! I have been in cryptocurrency since the middle of 2017 and I fell in love with the idea of interoperability and blockchain networks, and also, the acquisition of different monetary instruments. Today, in the year 2021, I am proud to state that I have worked for over three different cryptocurrency companies which include Sharder: Gokshtein Media and ICON. Now, I work alongside Peter and Matt and also, I am on another Public Representative team within the ICON Ecosystem known as ICON Midos. I was named the First ICON Ambassador and have a YouTube channel and online cryptocurrency course. After 4 years of hard-work, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that my passion is cryptocurrency and blockchain technological systems, for it facilitates a better world of inclusivity, globalized finance and a new form of digital investment. This is the future, this is blockchain!! For cryptocurrency news, follow me at my Twitter handle coreycosta123 ! See you there!

Name: Matt Where are you from: SoCal! Why crypto: Was looking for the next step back in 2016, looking for a way into self sovereignty. Five long years later, here I am! Random fact: I love multimedia, VFX, art, and the like. Also, food.

Alright, just signed up and i'm looking forward to watching and helping build this community. ICON is such an awesome project and it really deserves to have worldwide recognition! Name: Brandon Where are you from? :" Albuquerque, NM, USA Why crypto? : Well as a web application developer I've had a lingering interest in distributed ledger technology for a long time. But oddly enough I didn't officially enter into crypto until about 2015 when I decided I wanted to start mining ETH. Long story short, I wanted to take the next step and become more involved with the industry and found ICON late 2017 and I truly believe it represents all the potential block chain has promised for over a decade now. Random Fact : Another big reason I got into crypto was because I enjoy a lot of poker and cryptocurrencies have and continue to be popular with that community!

FBM_Brandon Glad to have your hear Brandon! Also cool to hear about how you got involved in crypto. I see you on the socials, so context is good 🙂 .

Name: Avi Where are you from: Bay Area (Silicon Valley) Why crypto: Came for the profits, stayed for the paradigm shift and technology (intriguing to me as a software engineer). Random fact time: I enjoy teaching. I co-founded a coding bootcamp , from which I have exited. I am also into cars but not to the same extent as Peter. Current: C43 AMG, Previous: M4, 911 s, Next: Taycan Turbo

Hi this is ahmad. Been in the crypto space since late 2017. I hold icon since mid 2019. Welling to be wealthy in 2021 😀. Love to see what is the outcome of catena project in 2021. And what impacts it will add to the price of icx 🔥

Oziel, from Nuevo Laredo México, living in Utah since 2012, Crypto gave me a chance to make extra money since March 2017 and now it's a legacy to my kids. No Banks, no man in the middle, just Tech and the Future of it. @tunetworker1 on twitter for spanish Criptomonedas!

avipatel Glad to have you here! Looks like there are a lot of car people in the crypto space 😃 . sheikhyousef Welcome! Looks like those moon goals may be a reality this year. tunetworker Good to have you here! That's what it's all about, creating sustainability for future generations.

• Joseph Garcia • Miami, FL • I entered the crypto market in 2017 after winning some money in a fantasy football league around the time Bitcoin became a sensation. After doing research and reading some white papers I came across ICON's whitepaper and became fascinated instantly. I had a feeling I'd come across a gem. My belief that the world would benefit from blockchain technology has only grown stronger with time. • I am big into sports, gaming, and learning about the new tools being developed through blockchain innovation.

Again, welcome back 🙂 . Keep thinking forward, it's the only way.

Welcome to the community! I'm assuming you're talking about the airdip that the Balanced DAO is planning to do. It's planned to release sometime in March, before the 30th. The airdrip will start a week after launch. If you still have questions, please start a discussion here: https://community.catena.one/t/icon. That way, everyone can contribute and discuss the happenings on the Balanced network!

Thank you @peter, @josephcorey17, and Matt

Excited to be part of this community and love your ideas regarding going back to ICON's original promise: "Interoperability". I have a feeling that you guys are going to push to make this a reality. We need Preprs, we need transparency to attract investors. Kudos to Matt, preprs UI is simple and sexy as hell.

Random: Both ICONEX and MyIconWallet works, but they are too complex for most users. Please build a ICX wallet that works with preprs. Staking, voting and connecting to other sexy dapps like Balanced should be easy and sexy to attract the masses.

My Dad introduced me to crypto back in 2017 as a possible speculative investment. He went all in on XRP, however I actually did some research and got in to some other well established coins.
My first experience of an ICO was ICX, I watched an interview Min did with "i think" Nick Merten on YT. I was sold on the project from the outset.
I am keen get involved in the space, develop my skills in this field because the future opportunities are endless. Blockchain will takeover the way the world operates (I want to be part of that!)

I am huge in to Sport, mainly, F1, Football, Rugby & Cricket!

Hi guys!

Christian

Been in the crypto game since 2016. Missed the Icon ico, but followed Peter on youtube and was a part of the Bitcoin Pub, so got in to icx heavy on launchday on Binance. Been adding more since then.

I have a nice crypto bag, and trade a bit as a hobby, but my Icon and my Neo`s are my big loves and for the longterm.
I was lucky to get into Neo back at the Antshares days, and as with my ICX, i never sold any.

Not the most active on Twitter, mainly because of my bad english, but i consider myself an Icon evangelist here in Norway. Been shilling this project forever on Norwegian facebook groups, to friends, colleagues and family.

My biggest interest are crypto and football ( the real kind, not the handball one you guys play 🤣 ), and the team is Manchester United

Love what you guys are doing for the space! Peter: about time you became a prep for the BBQ !

NotoriousBTC welcome brother - it's great to have at the Catena. The ride just began.

Sup! I'm Charlie. I'm from Long Island NY and have been involved in crypto since 2017.

I was a member of the Bitcoin Pub back in 2017 and learned a ton from Peter + the community. Super stoked to see another similar community! I like making music ( I actually wrote the track that was in all the Decentralized TV videos haha), and investing in assets like crypto, real estate, stocks.

Matt

ChazzleDazzle Welcome back Charlie! Now that you've learned, continue to learn more!

Why crypto?: It's fairly obvious that it is and will continue to make the world a better place.
Something about me: I ordered a hotspot on the 24th.
The order hasn't been shipped yet. When do you think it will be? Just wondering. I know you're busy with all you do. Not being rude, just looking for some info on it. Also, have been following you for a couple of years now on youtube. Back when doge wasn't even on anyone's radar.

peter

Burgundyllama It's on a first-come-first-serve basis. We have 20,000 backlogged...

Matt

Burgundyllama Welcome to the show!

Kenken

Burgundyllama Peter used to joke a lot back then with doge, hello the joke is more like a prophecy today.

Kenken

I'm from Nigeria.

Matt

Kenken Welcome back Ken! Yep, those were definitely the good ol' days.

MarcWiebusch

Name: Marc
Location: Minnesota
Why: I was introduced to crypto early on in 2011/2012 when a client of mine was hit with ransomware. Needless to say that caused me to have a negative view of crypto until I read the Ethereum whitepaper. It was at that moment I finally realized to potential and power of the blockchain.
Factoid: I'm a jack of all trades but master of none. I have a strong passion for the outdoors and preserving our natural spaces. I try to go off-grid for about a month every year during the summertime to spend time backpacking and canoeing.

Matt

MarcWiebusch Great to have you here Marc! That's an interesting way to get into crypto!

peter

MarcWiebusch Wow! Amazing story... glad you stayed in crypto!
