Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional?

[Kopyleft]

We are as it is having trouble dealing with speculations and opinions from bitcoin 'experts' we do not really want to add professionals to the list.
There is no legal backing for that organization to certify anyone in the field of bitcoin, and the fact that it's a paid service makes it more shady. Concentrate on learning and applying your knowledge for profit or the betterment of the lives of others.

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 ...

Merits for good questions.

Perhaps Satoshi will be there to be able to address the certificate to them.  
I may want to buy a ticket to attend the ceremony.

Please do post the information to when the certificate will be given so that I could see my idol for the first time in my life and maybe the last too.  

Actually, the question is not important. I'm angry with these people because they're trying to fool people. Usually newbies do this kind of training, groups, etc. they believe that they can make money by the way.

Scammers are working this way,  I know this is not fair but the investors are not kinds they are all well trained so it is not good for them to trust anyone without having proper knowledge about something or someone, so it is very important to control our emotions and not to trust scammers and fake websites, but scammers should be ban from our market.

I agree with this comment, especially with the last paragraph. That definitely needs to be widely recognized first so that it works. A lot of that knowledge is something we already have even in a basic level and that is all we need to use Bitcoin only.

Now, i personally want to learn how to be a Blockchain developer later when i can be in a environment that will allow me to be as productive as i know i can be. Because i believe Blockchain is the future, it will be another language in the list of the ones i already know and especially will learn in the future at a production level. The funny part will be finding ways to integrate it into companies and different types of organizations.

Why pay that much to learn Bitcoin when you can pay little to nothing to learn both Bitcoin and cryptocurrency combined. You will also need to learn the more difficult stuff like coding solidity, and  virtual Machine based cryptocurrency.

Of course spending money want make anyone learn bitcoin in th right way the only effective learning method is self learning and that is something anyone can start from this forum because there are so many essential threads that can educate a newbie to become a bitcoin professional and I doubt any formal education can provide that kind of knowledge these days so at the moment the cheapest path what I have mentioned is the best way to become a professional

Bitcoin was a way for individuals to show that they don't need the government to tell them what is money and what is not. I think it's ironic that the same people would rely on a specific centralized institution to tell them whether they're competent or not.

I don't get it. Why do we have to study bitcoin just to get a certificate? And does that certificate of being professional will give you income? It is just a piece of paper.
What makes sense here is that, you study because you are willing to learn and being a professional in this field means you are gaining and winning and you know meaningful things about bitcoin. Experiences makes you a certified bitcoin professional.

In fact, there is nothing here to you should understand. There is no platform that can give to us or anyone any certificate.

But it is not enough only get experience. We all have to learn how system is working. What is mining? Why we have a scalability problem in here? Why are they create so many project and cryptocurrencies. Which one is real or not real.

There are a lot of thing to learn. Just want it. Don't believe anyone which tell you anything. There is no person who we called Bitcoin expertise.

Of course every body wants to be a bitcoin professional. But I think that time of that study 1-2 months is too long especially for those people who are not doing or working bitcoin as a full time job.  As a narrative or writen report I think this is not worth it. But if someone teach you in an actual strategy I think this is more effective way to be a bitcoin professional.

[miropp]

It's pretty interesting, but I wouldn't be a part of it. It seems to me that I am not ready to pass all these exams to get a certificate. In addition, it does not give anything and is just a piece of paper.

[gesdan]

i dont understand about it, about Certified Bitcoin Professional, who is the publisher of certificate? is he official from bitcoin? or just ordinary people or ordinary institution? i dont know about it hahaha

[WeHODLed]

A very big THANK YOU to everyone who has replied!

Some people were against certifications. Or against paying for them. I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Vitalik Buterin are on their Board of Directors. So it's not some scam IMO.

Secondly some of you have pointed out there are free courses, too. I decided to look at them first.

And then some people also wanted to join this study group. I tried to DM you but I couldn't (not allowed since I'm pretty new here). Please DM me.

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?

And this would prove what?
Could we use it in real life?
We would receive a certificate then what's next?
If we really want to we could just learn it we don't need certificate or anything.
After all certificates could be faked out we could make it by our own.

It's not about scam, it's about wasting your money. Users have suggested you to learn by your own as already everything is available online and absolutely free, so why we need to pay for this?
 I don't have any doubt on the learning process provided by that particular organization/website but the certificates they are issuing (Certified Bitcoin professional) have zero worth in the market.

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 ...

Bitcoin is a currency, so there is no certificate of any kind to a currency, like a dollar that is also a currency but does not need any certificates, because each country has different rules for each.

[Kakmakr]

Any certification must be backed by some credible institution for it to have some worth in the industry. Bitcoin has only been with us since 2009, so it is fairly new in the industry, so most people will not have more than 10 years experience in Bitcoin. <Note: I am not saying in Crypto currencies or Cryptography>

A Certified Bitcoin Professional qualification will not give you any advantage over someone with no certificate. Experience in the industry are just as valuable. <Gavin/Andreas/Core dev's do not need this, because their work experience speak for it self.> 

[Xising]

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.

That's true, I mean, most of the time, "certifications" like that or "licenses" are needed to be paid, or you may be required to do something to get it like attending stuff or passing and qualifying on examinations, which most of the time, are not free to do. Therefore, if it would just burden a cryptocurrency user with no clear use for it, I don't think it would be that useful. If it can help you gain some edge over other cryptocurrency users on your selected field, then on that note, maybe some would see the good side of getting one. But, if there is none, then most like no one would bite one it, unless you can really get some valuable and sort of inside knowledge that you can at least use as a tool to make your transactions and investments more prosperous.

[thirdlight]

I think this is a bit of a crazy idea. Whether this is just a scam and someone wants to simply cut the dough from the people. I do not understand why the certificate? You either understand cryptocurrency or not.

[stfN2128]

what is a certified bitcoin professional? What advantages do you have with this certification? which authority can issue this certificate? sounds a bit weird to me. i will not call it a scam but you will receive a certificate which is worth nothing i guess
