No Satoshi Nakamoto? Even though we don't know his/her/their identity, I think that name should be at number 1. 

[MillardFerland]

No Satoshi Nakamoto? Even though we don't know his/her/their identity, I think that name should be at number 1. 

Well I don't disagree with you but the thread says "Here's the list of the top 100 of this week" if its top 100 of all time Satoshi would be at number 1 

[hooraymaster]

#buzzvault bringing #tech home #insurance overhaul

These self-proclaimed "InsurTech" Veterans describe the Blockchain involvement of their product as follows:

Built on the blockchain
We use the latest cutting edge technology which empowers you to share your data on your terms. Your data is stored on the blockchain, ensuring the most private and secure record possible.

Can somebody explain to me how storing vast amount of consumer data on "the BlockChain" can be efficient and how storing any data on "the Blockchain" can be secure or private. Did they miss the whole distributed ledger concept or what are they talking about?

[HabBear]

This thread has been plaigerized. This thread's original post is nearly the same as a thread that was created on February 4th on the Bitcoin board. Below is a quote of the original thread post from Feb. 4th. I realize you're posting the "latest this week" but this should be created as a new post on the original thread (quoted below).

SirNobody, Please move this discussion to the original thread started on Feb 4th or delete this thread. Either way, stealing content from others and posting it as your own is seriously frowned upon here, you're opening yourself up to negative trust.

Would you like to know about the important events in cryptoworld before it would be shown in latest news? Take the information from original source. I collected links on twitter of powerful people from cryptoindustry. Don't thank, just present the merrit.

Guys, this isn't a list created by SirNobody. He stole it or reposted it (depending on your perspective) from a weekly list created by Rise Global on the 100 top people in Fintech.

We should be giving the appropriate credit where it's due, here's the original source: https://www.rise.global/top-fintech-people

Great list. Read many BIOs and got many inspirational ideas. Thanks for sharing this
