Re: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional?
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.

Re: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional?
What you're writing makes sense but the way to get crypto work will be by coming up with cool stuff from the things you've learnt along the way. It's free and accessible to all.
The type of people who know enough to employ you will be just as sceptical and mystified as us lot if you showed them your wee certificate.
If that $150-200 or whatever isn't a lot of money to you then go for it and do it for yourself. If the cost is going to make your life harder than it needs to be then I'd think again. Other than your own satisfaction and pleasure I don't think it'll make any difference for your actual prospects.
There will be free courses from more reputable places. There's one put together by the University of California, Berkeley - https://www.edx.org/course/bitcoin-and-cryptocurrencies that's free but charges if you want some form of certification.
Several top places offer courses here - https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=bitcoin
If I were you I'd give it a few days or weeks of sucking up quality resources that are free and then have a think. This is one of many good places to kick off with - https://lopp.net/bitcoin.html

Wow, that is very interesting. Thank you, @gentlemand!
Now if someone is interested in forming a study group, I'm still all ears!
Difference between Casa Node and Pierre Rochard Lightning Power Node Launcher
I'm learning about Lightning and I have some questions:
1. Casa Hodl's Casa Node and installing your own node, e.g. Pierre Rochard's Lightning Power Node Launcher on an old computer, is that the exact same thing?
2. So it's a node that just verifies payments, right?
3. And it pays a (very, very small) fee of a couple of sats, right?

Thanks everyone for replying! Not exactly what I had expected :-) but thanks anyway. I do realize it is not welcomed with a lot of enthusiasm by everyone, and I do understand your point of view. But please, understand mine:
- I'm relatively new to crypto, I want to / still have to learn a lot
- I see a study group, a wing man, a buddy, call it what you want, as highly and mutually beneficial: learning something new in a (small) group goes a lot faster
- I also want to work in crypto eventually and this will help me "sell myself": a certification by a 'consortium' is better than no certificate at all; it will look good on my CV
- I don't intend to stop here, I intend to get more certificates (Andreas is working with the university of Nicosia, he retweeted something about a course today)
- price is still doable; the Oxford Blockchain Strategy Programme on the other side, that's expensive (like $2k IIRC)
So please guys, I'm looking for someone to study with me. I'm not looking for a debate on certification. You're right to some extent, but that's another thread...

Re: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional?
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?
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?
