Ambassador Stories, Journal #13 : Georg & Kornel

Part 2: Kornel, Ambassador Translator:

Kornel reached out to us a few months back, as the first Polish translator. By then, he had translated several articles from our ecosystem and also our newsletter. Cornel is also our first Polish Cardano Ambassador ever! Please give him a warm welcome to the community and ambassador ranks! Thanks for your support Cornel!


(Looks like Kornel is wearing a ‘blockchain’ sweater! :sunglasses:)

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What is your background?

My name is Kornel, 30 and I work as an anesthesiologist. I am also a happy husband and father. Since childhood I was interested in new technologies, developing web pages in high school, trying some programming stuff - before the decision to become a doctor I thought I become an IT guy. So when I learned more about blockchain it caught my attention.

2) How did you get interested and involved with Blockchain/Crypto?

I encountered bitcoin around 2012 when I was running a small internet store with electronics for a few months (to make some cash during my studies), I used it purely as a way of fast international payments. And did not dig deeper, nor HODL any. However, I got interested and involved in the community in mid-2017 and I count this date as my real beginning with the blockchain. It was a friend of mine who told me about crypto, I recalled my short history from 2012 and started reading more, more, more and more :slight_smile: Discovering new projects which eventually lead me to Cardano…

3) Why Cardano?

Cardano has the approach I enjoy: evidence-based, properly researched solutions and technology. I got excited with the direct contact that the team has with the community. The idea itself behind the project is also great. Luckily my country is rather “banked” enough, there are a lot of places when it is a real problem. Easy and transparent payments with ada can also be a game changer as current methods are, simply speaking, imperfect. And this is just the beginning.

4) How are you contributing to the Cardano Ecosystem as an Ambassador?

As I have no real technological background (but I keep working on it) and wanted to contribute somehow, I decided to become a translator for Cardano. Even though English is an international language, meeting a lot of people from the Polish community made me realise there is still a language barrier. My aim is to remove this problem by providing high-quality translations of the most important Cardano materials, both written and spoken and spread them along the Polish community. I have been doing that for some time already, now I decided to focus on Cardano particularly. As I tend to think big, I also have other plans for the future, but it is better to “do things” than to talk about them. With this, hopefully you will see the results of my efforts in an undisclosed time in the future :slight_smile:

5) What is your future vision for the Cardano Ecosystem?

With the current approach, stable development and community support Cardano Ecosystem has got to be successful. I believe Cardano solutions can really make a change in developing countries as well as the “developed” ones.

6 ) What is your personal message to the Cardano community?

Great to be here with you! I am sure the future is going to bring us a lot of joy and positive surprises. Even though bitcoin is almost 11 years old we are still in the beginning. And as some wise man said: ask not what Cardano can do for you, ask what you can do for Cardano. Or something like that :wink:

Don’t forget to like, follow, share Kornel’s hard work! He can be followed on the Cardano Forum!
