Title: Who are the most influential characters in the Bitcoin universe Post by: ofirbeigel on September 17, 2014, 02:04:09 PM Hey guys,
I was wondering who do you think are the 10 most influential people dealing with Bitcoin ? I'm trying to come up with a list for my blog to write about and I know I'm probably missing some key players. Thanks Title: Re: Who are the most influential characters in the Bitcoin universe Post by: RodeoX on September 17, 2014, 02:07:47 PM I don't know exactly who the ten most influential are, but I bet you'll have no problem finding the ten most vocal. :D

I think his business model has pushed adoption a great deal. Especially among traditional stores that want a simple and timid way into bitcoin.

Sure add him/her/them. Without Satoshi, none of this is possible. Just added real people that are well known in the community good or bad.

Title: Re: Who are the most influential characters in the Bitcoin universe Post by: Ragnarly on September 17, 2014, 06:52:11 PM You could write a more substantive article by using categories: Programmers, entrepreneurs, investors, philosophical/ political/ activists, and behind the scenes or unsung guys. To stir the pot you could add most influential opponents.
Has anyone said Barry Silbert, Vitalik Buterin, and Daniel Larimer? The other names on this thread are European or American, what about Asia? Title: Re: Who are the most influential characters in the Bitcoin universe Post by: counter on September 17, 2014, 06:58:20 PM I'd say any early investors, Bitcoins development team and anyone that was on the forum with satoshi experimenting with Bitcoin.

Bobby Lee of BTC China? Here are the speakers at the upcoming Bitcoin Expo in China this weekend, several are Asian: http://bitcoinexpo2014.com/#speakers Not familiar with a lot of them, but I'm sure they're all important to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
