I do it for fun. What is the best thing this happened to you and affected you? I'll tell you exactly what I did. You've heard it here first from Cointelegraph. Not that you need any introduction to who this man is when you look at the best explainer videos on the planet, but just for the folks that are new, just for the folks that don't know. Would you please introduce yourself and tell us what you do? My name is Amir Rosic. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I kind of stumbled on this industry about three years ago. I actually had an underwear company in Hong Kong. Our neighbors over here. And I sold my shares for that. And luckily enough, I live in Toronto. We have a really robust blockchain community in Toronto. You know, we have a huge Bitcoin crew over here. We have Hyperledger. And I'm lucky enough to know the Talix father Demetri, which is my business partner in blockies. And basically my journey started off with the exact same questions. Like, we're going to learn more about this stuff. All right. I understand technology. I'm not developer, but I do understand technology. And the most common answer I got is go to Reddit. I'm like a fucking hate forums. I'm not going to Reddit. I'm not spending hours. I want someone to just tell me. Right. Time is the most important thing to me. I want to conserve my time. And so I realized it didn't exist. I'm like, well, I got to create my own. That's where blockies come from. And then I love, I love video. I love YouTube. I've been doing that for like four or five years. I just do it for fun. Like people think it's my, it's my professional thing. I'm like, that's far from it. Right. I do it for fun. Like there's no business behind it. Like whatever I think about, I'm like, I'll do it. Right. You're helping out so many people in Europe. In your passion. Yeah. You're helping others discover their passion. Sure. After they listen to you. Sure. So I'm like, I started YouTubeing and turns out people like that format. And then. What was the most interesting thing that's happened to you since you started your, your series? Sure. Right. Not monetarily. Sure. But deep in your heart, what is the best thing that's happened to you and affected you personally after this, after your series? Uh, and this, this, this dates before I started doing blockchains. For me, I'm a big proponent of education. Right. I never went to high school. I got kicked out. I started doing business when I was 15 years old. I'm 32 right now. I've had many. For me is, I love the fact that no matter where you are in the world with internet connection and handheld device, you can get education for free. So for me, my biggest love and what illuminates my heart is the fact that people out of their own volition without any authority, without anybody telling them to learn, they will fully learn by themselves. I have you in the talent, sort of, about building out a school or an educational platform for cryptocurrency. That's what the block case is about. Where the world's largest online community for training developers. We have 3.5 million visitors a month, 6,000 students right now on block cakes. We have three full-time blockchain engineers are creating curriculum and we're just moving forward. And how do you plan on scaling that, expanding, reaching out to more folks? Uh, it's completely online. So as agnostic, meaning we don't just focus on any technology, we'll do a theory and Bitcoin hyperledger. And no matter where you are in the world as long as you have an internet connection, you can take our online training. What's the biggest challenge you've come across with the online? I'll tell you exactly what that is. Number one, finding teachers that can teach. And number two, finding teachers that actually know about this space. So that was mission impossible. We didn't find any of these. So what we found is very, very smart engineers that have your love of teaching, then we trained in blockchain. Okay. Because it's all video-based, right? So we have videographers and they spend every single day making. We make very high quality courses, study your own pace, right? Bit by bit. So that's the biggest challenge is finding people who have the capability of teaching. So is there a future in a blockchain-based teaching platform that really the end reward is how the student is achieved their cryptocurrency education? Have you thought about incorporating a coin token of sorts into this educational platform? Not in block-aids. There's going to be, for example, we're launching Bounty Scene, where students with their knowledge that they learn from courses can earn Bounty's in block-aids so they'll give thousands of dollars away in ether per month. So we're incentivizing students. Plus, we're going to have a reputation system non-tokenized that'll be attached to your GitHub. And we've worked with Zip Recouter and like big recruiting agencies that with your GitHub code demo that you would guarantee you a job, right? For me, I'm big on e-commerce, I'm big on on SaaS, and block-aids is a SaaS model. We're completely cash flow neutral within two months and completely profitable within three months, right? So for us to hug, yeah, thank you. Foodstrap, no money, raise, all individual, me, Demetri, and Vlad, our business partner. So for me, I'm cared about profits in a business. Obviously, business doing good before profits come. People first and profit second. So for me, I see no need to tokenize block-aids. I see no need to blockchain it. It actually takes away from the benefit of my students. That's not to say other platforms can come around. I think we still have a very long way for something to work like that. The reality of blockchain, it slows clunky. For example, if you're an ERC-20 token, you can do seven transactions per second. My business can't handle seven transactions per second. I need hundreds of transactions for a second. So the reality is that technology is not capable yet. And we have a couple of years for this reality to actually catch up with us. My next question is, would you ideally like to work with on your platform to better serve your consumer? On our platform, ideally, we're doing something right now like that. We're actually doing big scholarships. So we're trying to work with the biggest companies in the blockchain space. Whether that is L4V or venture fund, which I'm advisor for. Or whether that is like Cosmos, the sidechain. Whether that is blockable, amazing recruitment agency, or normative, a massive dev shop that we work in Toronto. But we're launching a huge scholarship for people that can't afford. Even though we try to make it as affordable as possible, it's only $50 a month for all access to our courses. Full Q&A support for my teacher is like, we try to make it as affordable, but once again, we're a business, right? So we're launching this amazing scholarship. We're like, you tell us why you can't afford it. Tell us what you want to learn. And you're in. That is absolutely awesome. When is that launching? Well, I haven't made a public announcement, but the Q1, like January, yeah. You've heard it here first from CoinTelegraph, but you won't hear it until Q1. That's right. You guys got it first. Yeah. Is there anything that you want the world to know right now about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin at 10,000 in December, right? What do you want the world to know about how they should look at cryptocurrency and how they should look at blockchain? I think a great example for this is if we look at history, right? If you look at, there's something called the Gauls Law where it states that if we look at a complex ecosystem like an organism, it never evolved from a complicated organism. It evolved from a single organism. And over time, that single organism became a complex organism. And so when we're looking on society and we're looking at where do you want to go in the future, most people will be afraid of evolving into a multicellular organism, becoming much more variable and more advanced. So my advice for people is no matter who you are, whether you're an entrepreneur, whether you're working nine to five, whether you're a mother, whether you're a father, whether you're somebody in the bureaucratic government, is take your time to just understand one aspect that you care about. Most people try to understand everything. They try to become an expert in this aspect. I tell people understand one thing. Understand Bitcoin. If you could just understand the Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, and a cryptocurrency has these features, that's a huge support. Right. And with that knowledge, you can go down the rabbit hole. But the bottom line is like anything in life, what is reality? Reality is perception of your thoughts. So the story is, for example, Bitcoin right now, just I think it's like $2,500 last time I checked in CoinMarketCap. That is the story that we told ourselves around the world. And that's the story that people are accepting as truth. That doesn't mean how good the technology is. That doesn't mean the use case of the technology. All that states is that people believe that story. Perception is reality. Perception is reality. That's right. Absolutely. How can we construct a way that underserved those who don't have access not even 2G networks? How can we create a social cause pool, almost all of your scholarship idea? How can we create that with all of these companies that are involved with blockchain technology? Funny to say that. So something that I want to do, and I have to figure out the reputation system, and we're working on this. We want to build it on LMS, is at the end of the day, I'm a Fintech company. And I know many companies, and regardless of the blockchain space, is the biggest problem in the tech space is really good developers. And a certification doesn't mean you're a good dev. It means nothing's like, congratulations. You have a fucking PDF. Right? I want to see your GitHub portfolio. I want to see how many questions the answer on stack exchange. I actually want to see the work that you put in. Just show me. Show me your developer. Show me the code. Just do, man. Now you just made my mother fuck. You're my pleasure. My pleasure. Now you just made my mother fuck. My pleasure.
