Despite the bearish cryptocurrency landscape in 2019, blockchain projects and cryptocurrency influencers seem to be bolstering the technology with brazen advancements and optimistic views for the future. Below are the top 100 crypto influencers. Do you agree with the list?

https://cryptoweekly.co/100/

I personally can not say much, there will be many other versions that might only change the position of the cryptoweekly version. Those on the list have worked quite hard with their potential. So I don't think it's feasible to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of those who have made a sizeable contribution to cryptocurrency

i guess one of person might names of matthew egbagba from delta heart sporting union as he was one to work on conception of the bitcoin with the tenat that is " the better economical system which is better than e-gold"
that was as the year of 2004 as kids playing with the keylogger...

I think all these people have made a significant contribution to the development of the digital world.They are all the best!

yes, let's just call satoshi as the creator of bitcoin and vital as the founder of etherum. but I also cannot rule out the role of all of us here. Even though we don't play a big role in the market volume, at least our value is small but a large number of us really helps the market to continue to grow and develop new projects. we actually also have influence here.

Satoshi Nakamoto not on the list? :D

Thing is, people with the most influence are anonymous.

I personally know of 2-3 who pull most of the strings, yet they're not mentioned here

If Satoshi goes to public, I'm sure he will be number 1 on the list. You know he was the one who introduced this technology, and without it there were no crypto and bitcoin. but unfortunately he prefers to be anonymous. and I'm also surprised to see CEO Binance in first place, I think the first place is Vitalik.

The top 10 people that on the list were all CEO of the top 10 altcoins in Coins Market Cap and dont have doubt they had a big contribution and bring most influential in crypto. As suggested above, can they include Satoshi Nakamoto? But unfortunately, it might the face don't appear on the list and question mark will appropriate to use.

Thank you for sharing this list. But when I checked it, I cannot find my name! Just kidding! :) Well, I guess we really need a mentor on Cryptocurrency and this list may be a good source to start with. I hope all of us will find their own mentor that will surely help us on our journey in making our life easier and fruitful through Cryptocurrency.

and of course, the head of the Binance exchange is in first place in this rating. I don’t understand why we give him such an influence on the market. I think this is very wrong. Binance establishes a monopoly in the market and it is very dangerous. one person may not be able to be so influential

The list does not look bad, but with one thing I completely disagree! HOW?!? .. someone could put Andreas M. Antonopoulos in place 72?!?!? After all, he is one of the greatest figures in the crypto world! Should be in top5! in the worst case top10! But not 72 place!

I'm not surprised to see CZ's position is ranked 1 because he is succeeded in developing binance. But why is john mcafee so far away from position 70? Maybe John should be in the top 10 in my opinion

McAfee?!  ;D ;D Oh come on! He could be at the forefront of marketing experts, but certainly not crypto. All he did was a few paid pump & dump of several altcoins. He's an eccentric who likes to make money in a strange way, but he has so much to do with crypto as my hairdresser does.

It should be noted, the viewpoint said by the OP is the most influential person when the market trend is trying to improve the current conditions that we accept. And not who is first in terms of creating. keep in mind too, bitcoin cannot live alone. My assumption on what the OP said, it is necessary for someone to develop the crypto trend. Satoshi is indeed very influential in creating, but is not the successor to the generation that spawns. Until now Satoshi's whereabouts are still in the question mark, is it necessary to note?

at first john mcafee had a tremendous influence but now people are starting to be pessimistic about him and don't care about what he says. basically the john mcafee's goal is only to market his product, entering the crypto world is one of his steps to increasingly famous (business marketing strategy) and now every talk he has about crypto is nonsense. he had not exerted any influence, so if he was ranked 70 then it was appropriate.

For my personally, Binance CEO is the one who deserves to be in the No. 1 position. Because he was the one who helped the 2019 market grow a bit. He and his staff have done a lot of activities to attract participants and the market is heating up, especially IEO projects coming from them

I didn't see the oracle of crypto. The honorable, world renowned, Leon Fu Dotcom.

I remember that John McAfee provided a lot of input and was also an influential person for 2017 because many projects were successful when he was a part of it. but right now he had lost the trust of people because his name had little effect

I'm now confuse what influential means. I use to believe influential means the person who speaks can really make you believe what he said and provides insights to make you realize. I often experienced this when I listen to my dad when I was a kid. I find him influential since he taught me about planting veges can be easy that I don't have to have a green thumb.

In crypto I haven't met any of the influential people listed in the link but i have seen them on youtube. My initial impression is that its Andreas Antonopoulos that's best be the number on influential person in crypto. He speaks in public and knows what he is saying.

Yes indeed John McAfee used to be very well known in the cryptocurrency circles but now he sees and rarely is in any project, maybe he chose to run his own project rather than becoming another project advisor?
CZ CEO Binance is now increasingly well-known, even once his tweet can be a true sign in the cryptocurrency movement.

I follow most of these in twitter and i agree that they are real influencers, but it would be really hard to put them in some order as they are doing different jobs.

Satoshi nakamoto and Vitaliak butterin finally Charlie Lee. these three people are the giant and having strong focus over blocks in industry and are using these technology they have empowered with everyone in this world.
Normal user only points which is invented by anyone among above in their daily routine for sure.

Nick Szabo 74  ???

This will be a historical record, thank you for making this list. Overall, I agree, although some subjectivities vary from person to person, this provides a clear picture. In the difficulties of market development in recent years, Binance showed the most dominant progress, I think, with a focus on developing Dex and the many successful IEOs it handled, making it even more popular and influential. The rest are many potential altcoin CEOs on this list, which makes the cryptocurrency ecosystem more diverse, good innovation.

I sincerely think the list is largely about popular projects and not about popular and Influential ceos. I agree with CZ position but where the hell is Craig Wright? Was he too controversial for the year or he just wasn't popular. Also, Mcfaee should be top 10 too

Disappointed after seeing John McAfee is on the list as he's nothing but a "Pay me money and I will say your project is good on my social media". The list would've been much better without him but hey, he's at least on #70 and a lot of other familiar names who have undoubtedly made a lot of contributions in their respective fields towards crypto.

but John McAfee does not currently have much trust from people because of his behavior. but there are still many people who have a big influence on the progress of crypto because of the ideas they have. so we really have to thank those who have helped crypto develop

in my opinion there is one more person you should mention, namely Sasha Ivanov, he is the CEO of Waves, why is he on my list? because Waves is one of the blockchain projects that is already trusted by Russia, I think he can occupy the most influential person

the ranking above is based on their activity in crypto. It is not impossible that John Mcafee could rank 10th if he is often active in crypto. Cz is indeed a very influential person in crypto especially bringing Binance as the biggest exchange at the moment. John Mcafee has a pretty good reputation in Crypto especially successful in several projects in 2017.

I hoped to see Satoshi first in the list too. Gavin Andresen's name is on the list, but Satoshi Nakamoto is not, which is unacceptable. Apparently, there are only identified people. But although Satoshi is not identified, the BTC he created dominates the entire crypto world. Please correct the list.

Pretty impressive list. I believe that each of us should strive to get into it. Indeed, it is a pity that Satoshi is not on this list. He was the founder of everything we have now.

so far, they are who make crypto can be like nowadays. without them all, we may dont see the fast progress in cryptocurrency
I even learn so much thing from them. although I never meet them, but I can read what they write, and hear what they say
Keep it up ma bro, lets make crypto become mainstream!

It doesn't mention how they are ranked e.g. by social media followers, credentials, net worth, etc. but this list does have the majority of important players in the crypto space and it is right in as much as startups are finding it more difficult to raise funds now that the market is saturated with similar or illegitimate projects that don't add anything much to the industry as a whole

Yeah no doubt CZ is on number 1 spot, recognized few faces some I do not know specially the women in the space. Good thing that we have these kind of people, who are really helping the industry grow and enlightening people from what the technology is all about regardless of their intentions.

Pretty good list they got there, even though I only know a few ones of them. Still, CZ being in the first place is no wonder at all. After all of his achievements, it's a given he is ranked 1 and as the most inflluential people in cryptocurrency.

Right!? I also feel the same, at first I really liked John Mcafee's positiveness about all of his predictions and the way he thinks. But the more you hear it, the funnier they sound. People nowadays don't really take his words seriously, how could they not? Sometimes what he has said didn't make any sense at all.

Even the most influential people like Satosi Nakamoto whose identity is not known chose not to publicize him. the most influential people are anonymous but have innovations that are used today.
unlike people who claim to be very influential and even claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto as the inventor of Bitcoin.

Even there is an influential person in the world and tells his opinions or predictions, I still not believing to them. They are humans like us and they are not from future so their prediction are pure hunch and guess that have no basis. Like what John Mcafee said that the bitcoin will turn $1,000,000 per each before the 2020 ends, the year 2019 will now end and the bear market is still occuring. It is the reason why we should not believe to the influential person in the internet.

I personally can't say much. Those are the senior Crypto world. Those who have been discussed have a lot of affinity for this world. They are many seniors in this world. They are the idols of many. In this world.

I did not see the list of names of Satoshi Nakamoto on the site but he was the person who had the most influence on the current development, perhaps because of his anonymity that made a Satoshi Nakamoto unregistered. but I do not care about that, because in fact Satoshi became one of the influential people in the crypto industry

However, we all always have a teacher or a role model that we often see in crypto, so that person can be an influence for us personally or for everyone in the world of cryptocurrency.

vinny lingham is not he a guy who talked about a bubble and bitcoin in 2018? and he is listed as the most influential people in crypto, really? how about sunny king the inventor of proof of stake?

It just a list, their web their opinion and their rules, just accept it. If they share about how to become success or manage risk maybe many people will interesting because that we need to know. People really desperate in this situation, look's like wait do nothing until bankrupt. Try to change the title " 100 ways to become successful people in crypto world ", I'll read it and share with others.

And it's not as if it's anything official, I wonder why I'm seeing users requesting a change and asking why some names they feel should be on the list was obviously omitted. Any other website or even an individual can also come up with their own list of crypto influential individuals, AFAIK there is no official list of the most influential cryptocurrency individuals.

There may be so many individuals that are influencing the market, but are not known, maybe they chose to be anonymous, this is one of the reasons why this kind of list can be incorrect and maybe unacceptable to everyone.

We all agree that Satoshi Nakamoto can be the number one on the list only if he is known. But since we don't personally have idea who Satoshi is, that's why he's not on the list. Influential people are the ones who can influence other and give big impact with his actions or words.
These people on the list are all successful in their lives and actively supporting and promoting Bitcoin to the public, and I guess that's the basis for the list of influential people in crypto.

Yes they have a big name in the world of crypto because of their dedication to crypto, yeah like for example Vitalik, who doesn't know his big name, I think everyone in the crypto world know this name, because he is ethereum becoming popular and able to be in a position second only to bitcoin on coinmarketcap. I myself am very impressed with Vitalik besides being handsome he is very smart.

It's not confirmed yet satoshi is it's real name or not, and also not confirmed yet satoshi is a person who found bitcoin or satoshi is a group of people.
So it's not able to list on the list. I'm also sure there are still many whales that really have big role on cryptocurrency development but they're not shown to public.

Although there is no evidence, I believe Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of someone and himself who created bitcoin which must be the most influential person in crypto who must be number one.
unfortunately its identity has not been solved until now and only gives rise to inaccurate and doubtful news, and besides satoshi nakamoto the people who play a role and have a big influence on crypto are those who develop crypto that make influential people grow a lot.

At least, he was trying to advertise crypto. but what makes he looks bad caused by he was advertising for the scam coins. Another big names should be on that list.
getting paid to promote is not something wrong but the wrong thing is if he didn't even care what kind of project he already promoted it

if he is an influencer then he must also know the projects that he promotes, if not then it can be detrimental to many people out there. because when people influence crypto to make a promotion about a project, investors can automatically trust without having to think much about the project

I agree that they are human like us, so the prediction possibly becomes wrong
But i disagree that they have no basis in every prediction. remember that they are influencer, they can lose their popularity if talking non-sense
I think, they are not stupid to broke their popularity, they know what they say.
so, just take it as a consider but not fully believe them.

I did not find the creator of bitcoin. Does not Satoshi deserve to be on this list?
Although what you said is true, it is clear that those listed ones can influence the market. If Changpeng Zhao tweets about any unknown coin, we can see that the same coin will soon be positively affected. Do you agree with this opinion?
