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.

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!

Why crypto - Definitely do not have a background in trading or even keeping up with tech trends but I started paying attention to the price movement of BTC in January 2017 but didn't buy any cryptos until August '17. Jumped in with a willingness to lose everything but figured the reward outweighed the risk and it was. I did have Moon Boy dreams initially but realized the paradigm shift that the crypto space was going to cause has forced me to dream about Mars. The world is changing and I think 5 years from now everyone will realize that the crypto space was the catalyst for that change.

Random fact time - Working towards getting a MDIV in Christian Apologetics but had to postpone that once we adopted infant twins 2 years ago.

Hey Tim, glad to have you here! It's never too late to jump on the crypto train.

peter

THughes82 Welcome welcome!

elo

Pub 2.0!? I can't believe I am still here and learning every single day.

From 2017 to now, I learned how to budget and continue to DCA. I never thought I would be here without the right mindset. I appreciate learning a lot from @peter with his strategies back then.

I can't wait to see what we can do for ICX. Seriously, want to quit my sales job for something ICX related, or P-rep with others. Just something I keep thinking about. I have no motivation for my current job lol.

Matt

elo Great to see more OGs coming back! Welcome again, and we're doing big things here. Sounds like it's time for you to get out there, explore, and communicate with some P-Rep teams. I'm sure your skills can translate well into this space, so put yourself out there 🚀 .
