Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional?

[WeHODLed]

Hi, I'd like to become a "Certified Bitcoin Professional":
https://cryptoconsortium.org/certifications/CBP

But I've been putting it off, so I thought I'd try to find someone to take it with me. The idea is to study for the exam together (the idea is *not* to take the exam together; just study for it). I can put in 1 to 2 hours a day.

Looks like there are 33 topics so it'll take 1 to 2 months to study (just a rough estimate).

Anyone up for this?

Hopefully someone is ready to accompany you to learn bitcoin with a few hours every week and for me personally, this is not possible because of the status of Bitcoin in my country at this time. Maybe learning muscles and listening to friends' suggestions from several forums is a solution for me because of this will save time from my busy work

Oh, why is it not allowed in your country? Which country, if I may ask and if it's safe for you to say?

I didn't quite understand. By which authority can they issue such a certificate? Who does this Bitcoin Professional give to the class? It's kind of silly to me ...

[Beerwizzard]

Why should anyone need those certificates? What kind of services are opened for owners of such certificate?
For now it seems like I can issue my own certificates and give them to everyone I want. Ofc if the purpose of them is just to show someone that you poses some specific knowledge about bitcoin.
Reading this forum may give even better knowledge then your certificate.

it is mostly a money grab kind of thing that this website is trying to do. to be fair the topics they claim to be covering are very intriguing although it all depends on the quality of it and i would never bother with something like that. if some day i wanted to do something my Github repository is worth 100 times more than any certificate any of these places could give me!

I don't think I'm up for this. All these lessons can be learned through online. And $99 + $35 + $35. All for it can be searched through google without money. So, free knowledge and my time is mine. And also, what's the point of this forum if you'll be needing to fund your study. I'll choose this forum, not that.

lol who the hell cares about those certifications, they have either a corrupt background and or are agenda driven.

Found out this replay on bitcointalk from someone claiming to be a member of C4 team: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=777983.msg8769809#msg8769809
As that guy says, this certificate is only a confirmation that you have knowledge about the basics of bitcoin. So if you have this certificate this doesnt mean you are a bitcoin professional, not at all. If this would have cost around 25$ it would probably worth to have it but paying 135$ to get it and then another 35$ every 2 years to renew it its just hilarious.

[gentlemand]

I've never heard of this in my entire life. I've been into BTC for six years now. That says enough.

Since I probably have more experience than the people issuing this I hereby declare anyone who feels like it a Certified Bitcoin Professional for free.

Feel free to add this to your website and wear it as a T shirt.

The space is just so funny. People keep devising diverse way to solicit money from noobs. In my opinion this crypto can not be taught but rather experienced..

[franky1]

certificates are meaningless..
portfolio of experience is everything.

take for instance Andreas Antonopoulos's fame. that did not rise due to certification. that rose due to a portfolio of good open dialog presentations and speaches

a few years ago when i was involved with looking for experienced people for projects, their certificated resume/CV was not what i looked for. i looked for thier portfolio of actual knowledge

anyone can pass an exam by cramming in research 48 hours before an exam and then forget that knowledge straight after the exam. but actually demonstrating

them using real retained knowledge to actually do something with it, means more

its far better to spend a couple months making youtube videos that can show off your knowledge to the world. rather then hide in a classwork/basement and hope a glossy certificate does the job

If one wishes to be a certified professional in bitcoin then the who brought this should registered to a certain regulations like other professionals went through. Taking a standardize test and if passed will be given a license and be called as professional. However, it is hard to.comply requirements for this because it is not yet adapated by the government who has taking charged in processing license.

[Ayiranorea]

What's been stated in the op is next level of money making through bitcoin. As bitcoin is getting popularity as well the technology behind it is so effective it is quite easy to attract the common people. In this way someone have started a certification program, which is a kind of money making. It is a must to examine whether the authority issuing the certification has got certified or registered.

[YuginKadoya]

Everyone can call someone professional if they have the expected skill or competence to be one, I can hardly don't want to say that I am a professional in this industry because there are so much to learn and there is so much to make a study about if you want to earn, trade, gamble, and even mine for bitcoin there are many aspects to achieve in this kind of thing, And I think you can earn even if you only know one of which, I think we can also don't think that cryptocurrency is a subject but the technical thing that you need to earn it is the one that needs learning and educating yourself with the things that can make you obtain cryptocurrency or bitcoin.

[Prophet Muhammad Coin]

Yes i do agree As this is a very big industry and this needs to be updated always . everyday you learn something new and this is totally a ongoing process to learn the things.
But if  is there some platform where new people can learn and they issue some certificate kinda thing to new people this will atleast give them motivation.

I was thinking the same, who they are to decide who deserve a certificate and who doesn't. I would take the certification only if satoshi's sign were on the paper because another way is just a waste of money and time, i mean, i don't need any certification to keep doing things with bitcoin.

Cryptoconsortium is old already. There is an old topic in the forum, you can surely find it with the Google custom search
"Bitcoin professional" is a bit exaggerating because once you finish the course and take the exam you're far to be a "professional". In reality, you're supposed to master the basics. There are 2-3 others similar, like blockchain-council

I cant still believe that there are people who do really likes that certificate. haha

Same as yours, being here on crypto even not too long this is my first time about applying or studying for a certified bitcoin professional.Anyone
wont really need this sh*t and as said there are lots of people who are more knowledgeable about bitcoin compared to those who ran this program.

[teejayrichard2]

I hope you get someone on this great platform who would join you on this professional journey. Would have loved to as I desire to know bitcoin and blockchain more but my job is a tight one and wont permit me but I wish the best. Hope you get someone soon enough so you guys kick off on time.
