Topic: Would you like to become a Certified Bitcoin Professional? (Read 845 times)

want to be a Certified Bitcoin Professional, who doesn't want me to want it, but for me I still have to learn a lot about bitcoin knowledge or more, if I really become a professional I can give or teach people who want to know bitcoin seriously.

You may not need it personally, but I assure you employers need it so they have a trusted measuring stick they can look to. Imagine being a hiring manager told to get somebody on board who "knows the blockchains", how do you as a candidate convince that person you know what you're talking about when they don't understand a word. In another use-case, how do you convince your insurer that the people on your staff have the qualifications they say?

Not everyone agrees with certifications regardless of industry, but they absolutely have their place.

We're volunteers running a non-profit organization trying to help mature the space. If it was bullshit we wouldn't be wasting our time.

Well, seems like big bullshit.

Why would you need this certificate ?

It does not prove anything.

I don't think it's necessary to become a certified bitcoin professional & I never heard before this. It's a open platform for all the users, anyone can openly do this work & don't need any certificate for this. I think it's a unnecessary thing Which don't need in this platform.

I find it funny if there really is such a thing lol. Many expert traders who are up to making successful trades started by just themselves, learning, practicing, losing money, and then practicing some more. I'd rather be like one of them than a "certified bitcoin professional".

certified bitcoin professional:

bitcoin is best and most valuable

certified litecoin professional:

litecoin is best and most valuable

certified gold expert:

gold is best and most valuable

certified silver expert:

silver is best and most valuable

oh boy...

I do not think the certificate (in this way) will be of value
I prefer experience through learning, friction, mistake and right, I think this way is the most effective in the field of CRYPTO

Note .. I am not against accredited certificates, but must be from prestigious universities or institutes.

unfortunately, in my country BTC is still illegal and is not recognized as a legal payment instrument. even no institution can provide BTC certificates to crypto users. but, I predict if BTC and crypto are accepted in my country, then the government will make a BTC professional certificate, the finance and economic ministry will cover everything needed for the security of crypto transactions. including the legality of BTC certificates will be important and formal for each crypto user. and I will be part of the person who has a BTC certificate.

It seems that having a certification would be great. However, as we know it bitcoin or cryptocurrency is not yet fully accepted by most countries, thus having such certification might just be a plain paper. Along with that, is the one giving certification accredited by the government? Or, thus the government honor such certification?

If your aim is to learn more about crypto/bitcoin/blockchain tech, you can actually just study it by your self since there are a lot of online sources where you can educate your self.

And what would such certificate actually mean? As far as Ib know there isn't some recgonized Bitcoin authority or institution that would give such certificates and that they would have some value. So I don't see any sense in that as well not any added value. I'm not against education and courses, they could be of some help although there is problem with suitable experts but I don't support certification.

True.  But you can fake a portfolio....

The certificate is a fig leaf.You don't really need him.You will gain KNOWLEDGE!To understand any question You should at least know what to look for.I can not guarantee the quality of training, but the fact of the existence of such courses is certainly pleasing.

his is interesting. Well for me, if you think it will help you to be better regarding Bitcoin, why not take the course and have a certification. It will help you become validated with how Bitcoin works. With a large number of people that are into it, who can you really trust to help you over scamming you? For a starter like me, good thing my mentor was able to share his knowledge to me and guide me through. He is in demand on his own rights

you mean the certificate ? they can meyt becuase they are the one's that issue the certificate and that can already be considered that they have alots of certificate for themself but that does not mean that he is already a blockchain expert/professional because like what you said , he might only doing this as a kind of business to earn money from other incoscent people   .

@op yes i do and we all do  . who wouldnt like to be a bitcoin pro ? because when you are already a pro you can do many amazing things and you can use it to earn good amounts of cash  .

I don't think that certificate is needed. As long as you know things and have deeper knowledge already about bitcoin is enough. But well, it's up to you if want it just to be a "bitcoin professional". I'll just give you a good luck cheer. Good luck on your study, if you'll continue it. And hope you'll find a study partner.

Well, if you have a certificate, you can call yourself a certified bitcoin professional (i know this sounds stupid but just saying and honestly has no use). You can prove others that you are indeed well versed about bitcoins. That's the best a piece of paper can do. True, there is no need to spend money for a certificate given by just a random person (i bet the person also has no clue about what bitcoin is and is just printing out papers as a certificate).
To OP, how are you even planning of studying together unless you find someone living in a close proximity to you?

A bitcoin certification? There is no need for that. I will rather learn from this forum and other cryptocurrency forums. Google is there for whatever I need to know so why spend money on bitcoin certification that has no backing of any educational institute.  

I do agree with you. If you go through the contents of this certification, you can see yourself that all these concepts can easily be learned from google/youtube.
Secondly, if I have $99 + $35 + $35, I would prefer to buy some BTC and HODL  

I've commented on another thread about the CBP and believe my comments are just as fitting here. FWIW, I'm a board member of C4 and yes, I'm lucky to share the board with some incredible people.


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.
