Topic: Certified Bitcoin Professional (Read 33920 times)

This is a very nice development just that I am concerned about one became a professional in just an hour! I will wish we started getting certified in cryptocurrencies fields in future and awarded certificates so we can used to get blockchain technology jobs. I wish also I should be able to work from home and determine my Own time but been paid in bitcoin or any of the popular cryptocurrencies.

huh
How could that certificate be applied in getting a job or doing business? There are tons of information about cryptocurrency industry all over the internet, already systematized and for free.

I passed the CBP test days ago and still haven't gotten mine.

Update: I received mine now. They just had to manually look at my CV.

Also, C4 does seem legit, as I saw it on one of Andreas's talk's slides.

I remember when we made the certification discussions on the forum, technically I would be CBP without even certifying since the questions were designed from a baseset of questions that the community analyzed and determined would do the trick.
Still it's there as a display item for some especially since no one knows Bitcoin so some sort of cover is needed to provide an air of legitimacy.


I think I did like the first 3 exams of the coursera a while back then was like meh and forgot until you all reminded me again about that ha-ha registered for it too and even saved the e-mails.

Welcome to the final week, with two contrasting lectures. Lecture 11 is on where Bitcoin could be going. The use of Bitcoin technology for decentralizing property, markets, and so on has been hailed as a recipe for economic and political disruption. We'll look at the technological underpinnings of these proposals and the potential impact on society.

In lecture 12, a bonus lecture, we’ll look at the history of cryptocurrencies. There were nearly a hundred cryptographic payment systems that came before Bitcoin, almost all of which failed. We’ll look at where the ideas in Bitcoin come from and what it takes for complex technical innovations to be successfully commercialized. This story will give you an appreciation of how remarkable it is that we finally have a real, working payment mechanism that’s native to the Internet.

Cheers

Still worth a look for those who want to see some classic discussions ^^.

Yes, i see my error since, I checked more carefully the website and visited the blog, and a couple of others things, CBP Study Guide and the "Preparing for the Certified Bitcoin Professional exam". I see it differently since, and understand why and how some firms/services can find it usefull finally. To tell you the truth, if i was in charge of recruiting people, (for something where this certification can be used) I would ask this. I will save time surely

C4 has been around a pretty long time now but to be blunt, we aren't experts in marketing. We mostly just quietly do things we think are helpful. In addition to the professional certification, C4 also introduced the CryptoCurrency Security Standard, and have run a very well received training conference.

The certification may not have value to you, but we have many partners who are strong believers in it, including exchanges, professional services firms, dev shops, and banks. We especially find that organizations looking to hire their first couple blockchain focused employees find a lot of value in it, as they are less likely to know what questions to ask in an interview process. The cert gives them a measuring stick that helps ensure the people they are hiring are not completely smoke and mirrors.

From the side of the professional, we have had numerous people tell us that getting the certification helped prepare them for jobs in the space, and helped them prove that knowledge to perspective employers.

I mean, I get the teasing. Not everyone believes that certifications are beneficial. Not to mention there are a lot of scammers out there looking for a quick buck.
C4 is a non-profit, that's been around for over three years, which just aims to help mature the space and professional certifications is a means to doing that. We always make sure to work with incredible people across the industry to ensure what we offer is the absolute best that it can be.

 

Hmm.
Why does this thread remind me of Ralph saying:
"I graduated from bovine university!"

I think it is illegal to offer and produce such certifications which are not managed by any central authority. Governments should take steps to stop such things from happening and people losing money in useless things.

I am sorry to say but this kind of certification has no value, at least to me. What was the process to get it ? Following the course and complete a quizz ? In their about page i see Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Vitalik Buterin, and a few others listed as their Board of Directors. I am a little surprised to see them and I never heard about this consortium

I am also not sure why anyone should do this bitcoin certification. There is no certified body who is given such a certification and i also feel that these people are only making money by giving the certificates on collection of certification fee.

9kv, you're incorrect regarding it being an "Internet Certificate."
We mail out a physical certificate to those who earn certification. You can see an example of them on our twitter feed here: https://twitter.com/_CFour_/status/507592388424921090

Hi, How long it takes normally to receive one's certificate, I completed in January but have not received physical copy of certificate yet.

Any update on availability of CBX?

Thanks for the info.

seeking legit crypto certificate and found this thread. Will try CBX

Any news re CBX?

The good and bad points o fractional banking has nothing to do with the discussions about Bitcoin unless you think Bitcoin will replace everything.  The only important think is getting people to use Bitcoin and making claims that it will somehow affect fractional reserve banking is nonsense.

Says the person that thinks they are more creditable then Themoys..  

Furthermore all you have done is name call and name call.  You've never once commented on how fractional banking helps the average person.  How can you possibly deal with environmental issues when you lack the funds to do it.   Also assumptions.. Obama and Bush.. why the fuck do I care about America?  I never once mentioned Bitcoin should be the singular world currency again you are spinning BS using arguments that would get you kicked out of a debate.

You only attack the person not the point.

I pointed out in a different comment section that you are a wing nut.  Anyone who doesn't agree with your fantasy agenda supports the fed, the government, the leviathan, or some other nonsense.  You are like the people who go around blaming either Obama or the Bush legacy for every problem on Earth and somehow you twist every story or comment into some discussion of how Bitcoin will solve all the world's problems.  The specific discussion you are referencing was about actual Bitcoin use cases and was completely irrelevant to your fantasy about Bitcoin being the singular world currency.  My education is in physics and computer science, not economics.  However, I know enough to know that you don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about.

The point is that you are not reliable or credible to offer any type of certification.  Since you promote the sale of accounts no such certification, logo, account name, or anything about you or this web site can be trusted. 

One should becareful about using the same name on comment sections and forums if they are looking to promote such a thing in these forums.

You've still offered no reason as to why the Fractional banking system is good for the average person.
