Need to know the big players in Bitcoin.
Want to know who to follow on Twitter, etc.

Getting very interested in cryptocurrency!!  All the best to everyone, any recommendations are great!!

Thank uuuu

Here's a recent study of the "30 most influential bitcoiners on social media":

http://www.digitalcurrencycouncil.com/professional/30-influential-bitcoiners-social-media/

Not sure everyone on that list should be, and it's missing key people who don't happen to use social media much, but it's a good start.

Anonymity has its virtues.

Check out Andreas Antonopoulos. Joe Rogan has interviewed him twice, both can be found on YouTube.

You can check for the big players on the bitcoin rich list by googling it.
You can also find the big social players on google as well.

Here is more information about the big people involved in bitcoin

I was just asking that how funny!

Follow me on my new twitter! @bitwhispers (http://www.twitter.com/bitwhispers)

You can go to letstalkbitcoin too. There are many podcast you can hear and many big player in bitcoin :)

they are greedy, they will not teach you anything, most of them just hit the train back in 2009-2010, they are just lucky early adopter nothing more

if you're a big whale; you're probably underground.

Don't care whomever tells I'm a whale and I make you rich $$$.

What I've learned through experience is that the best "big players" of bitcoin don't use social media that often.
It's not a matter of following people. you gotta be aware of the market and new events. There are experts who know what they're talking about but people can only speculate too much...
Go to bitcoin.org and learn about the people who invented it, you can go from there to find better people.

Follow https://twitter.com/bitcoin ...they generally retweet the important tweets related to bitcoin. Apart from this it depends what is going to be your chosen niche in crtptocurrency. Depending on that U need to follow different handles on twitter.

If you want to have news follow coindesk, cryptocoinnews and cointelegraph

besides you should check reddit r/bitcoin some times, you can also follow a twitter bot account that shows the hot reddits in r/bitcoin

You cant know the owners of the addresses in the bitcoinrichlist unless they themselves make these addresses public at some point and not only that but that address has a clear link to a true person.
Other than that you can find lots of people in twitter that act as if they are rich just to try to have an impact in the market. Most likely most of them aren't whales themselves.

Thank you! I will.

Big players? What does that mean? Does that mean we should trust them or avoid them?

Check news site like coinsdesk, first.

Them with time you will have some notion of who matters in BTC world

I am a big player. But i am incognito ;)

What level are you define as big players?

Now you are not... ;)

In fact, Andreas has been on JRE three times in total now.
Joe Rogan Experience #446: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cexawnOlR8
Joe Rogan Experience #490: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnhGlgCm4MU
Joe Rogan Experience #581: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wwbzwUXfgc

Mark Karpeles ;)

Note that many of the big players are people who you and I will never know.

Max Keiser talks a lot about crypto, and finances in general.

Rick Falkvinge from the Pirate Party is an über bull.
Check out this article:
http://falkvinge.net/2013/03/06/the-target-value-for-bitcoin-is-not-some-50-or-100-it-is-100000-to-1000000/

I like to re-read it in these times of sadness :)

Basically this, I like looking at the headlines of news websites ocasionally too. Cointelegraph and coinbrief aer the ones that I like the most. Coindesk is perfectly decent too their articles are profesionall and rarely miss an event, a bit overrated though imo.

Thank you! I will check it...

one of the most important values of bitcoin is anonimity

I am a big player. .  you will know me in the future.

I am a big player ;) nah jokes, i think you should lookup this question on google, although this is the bitcoin forum.

Of course he would never use a name that would link his real identity to his forum identity.

So he still incognito

i think most of today "Big players" are just a really really really lucky "early adopters"

maybe they mine or buy hundred of bitcoin before 2011 when the price was under 1$ per btc...

nothing more...

I would like to be a "big player" whom so lucky.....

they have believed it.
...and from the beginning...
but for this safe bet they will have many lost!!

this is like financial investment.

you need to diversify if you want to survive and gain!!!

A lot of people seem to follow that CryptoCobain guy in twitter. They are all probably scammers tho.

but you mean CryptoCobain follower,
are probably scammer????

but why???

elaborate it plz!!!

thanks

Not all of them learned about bitcoin that early. AFAIK, Tim Draper and the Winklevoss twins started their bitcoin business in 2013.

This one is real good

That Cobain guy is not necessarly a scammer, but they probably have private pumping groups and use people to keep pumping the coin they choose. So if you catch a pump it will be mostly luck, you risk that by the time you invest as they announce the coin in twitter, they start dumping.

i am either big player ;D
who know in the future

too much big players for one small topic

How many players should be? ;D

No more than one for the one page!

big player in "bitcoin" gambling or what? ;D
we had a lot of big player, n it is not important imo

I propose to vote on each page ::)

And we must count a score, who is the biggest one. ;D

What is good criteria for bitcoin big player?

Yes, I am a little skeptical about (BIG PLAYERS) What does that mean and how is it defined?

The OP is asking for people in the bitcoin field who are influential and whom he can follow on twitter.

Yes, there're many stars in the BTC world.
To name a few:
Andreas Antonopoulos
Gavin Andereson
Roger Ver
Vitalik Buterin
