@gentlemand, better patent that cert.
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
They're not entirely meaningless but in this context, spot on. I can't help but shill Antonopoulos every time he's brought up. His attitude is great, no trumpeting his knowledge yet no false modesty, and I keep returning to his writings (or his lectures in writing, rather) and they're as helpful as when I first came across them.
This guy had no certification yet he's still doing lectures in the only decent academic course available for blockchain at University of Nicosia.
