WoW big fishes of our industry, I wonder John MacAfee really deserve to be in the top 10?

[alyssa85]

I can't believe John McAfee is on that list. He's a nutjob who spends most of his time trying to pump nearly dead coins. I shudder to think how many guillible people have followed his tips and lost loads of money as a result. People like him are a cancer in the crypto space.

[LeGaulois]

I can't believe John McAfee is on that list. He's a nutjob who spends most of his time trying to pump nearly dead coins. I shudder to think how many guillible people have followed his tips and lost loads of money as a result. People like him are a cancer in the crypto space.

The data comes from Klout.com the OP didn't "collected" the list himself. Klout score is based on several factors if you have a website, the social signal sent etc. So if you have a large follower base and active with an account related to  Food, if you start posting about Blockchain you will be on the list as well

With a more realistic ranking factor, John McAfee is ranking for
McAfee
Antivirus software
Fintech
Internet security

[HabBear]

This is an impressive list, although I'd change the order. I don't think a "famous investor" or "crypto expert" should rank higher than someone who has actually created a blockchain or cryptocurrency based company. Charlie Lee should be 3rd. Where's Satoshi? He should be 2nd. I agree with Vitalik at the top spot, he's built a very successful business using the blockchain as the backend and frontend technology.

Why is John McAfee on the list? Is it because he said he'd s*ck his own d*ck if Bitcoin reaches a certain price? If I make some wild claim about future Bitcoin prices, will you put my name on your list? John McAfee doesn't deserve to be on this list until his bold claims about future price projections come true.

[fireblond]

Nick Szabo should be in top 10! although I do appreciate the effort put into making this list, I'm not a big fan of the order. I guess in the end of the day it comes down to personal preference and contribution. Yet I can't deny that Vitalik deserves his spot : )

[yulchatar]

I can add: Justin Sun - Founder of @tronfoundation, @Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 https://twitter.com/justinsuntron
and Da Hongfei - CEO NEO https://twitter.com/dahongfei

[Jalum]

I can't believe John McAfee is on that list. He's a nutjob who spends most of his time trying to pump nearly dead coins. I shudder to think how many guillible people have followed his tips and lost loads of money as a result. People like him are a cancer in the crypto space.

Well he has the money to be a power person that's in the top 100 list. The list is pretty good, thanks for this.

[renes]

Good list, actually I also see vitalik buterin as the most powerful person in crypto, he is also the person who is contributing this space the most, brian armstrong my second one who is creator of coinbase.

[colonel_koval]

It is a strange list, I am surprised to see McAffee above Winklevoss twins, I am really surprised with number 1 person, and I am outraged with not seeing Satoshi Nakamoto on the list.

Maybe you should drop the numbers from your list and do it alphabetically with bullet points instead?

[Yaunfitda]

Yes, this is a great list. But I would put Satoshi as #1 and Buterin at #2.

But I have to agree that Johm McAfee should not be in the top 10. He just entered the picture recently, and he is more of a media influencer based on his twitter coins of the day.  

Also I think the Winklevoss Twins should be rank higher.

How about Tim Draper? https://twitter.com/TimDraper or

Juthica Chou of LedgerX?

But still this is really a impressive list and sMerit is on the way bro.  

[imoet]

I agree with you. It is an impressive list. The people in that list can motivate us in crypto world. They are success in doing this and they already prove it. We should follow their step. I think the list already based on the survey. The name came up with so many reasons. 
And the deserve it.

[Bobby park]

I am amazed to the effort you have shown in order for us ti know who are the people behind the blockchain. I am also not familiar with them and I am interested to in depth my learning about them specially, the founder of Ethereum.

[evergreenfield]

Tim Draper
Anthony Pompliano
Tom Lee
Meltem Demirors

[shulc7]

Probably, this list has been updated already? I guess some of the people we have never heard about are on this list already, and they take the top positions. More than 12% of Americans own BTC, and the most powerful of them stay incognito.

[Nadziratel]

Tim Draper
Anthony Pompliano
Tom Lee
Meltem Demirors

This is the 100 names your friend has reached. But I'm sure there are many people working for Blockchain. These are good examples.

[CryptoBry]

Probably, this list has been updated already? I guess some of the people we have never heard about are on this list already, and they take the top positions. More than 12% of Americans own BTC, and the most powerful of them stay incognito.

I am sure this post deserves some updates as we are now in June 2019 and so many things had happened and many new personalities have surfaced into the cryptocurrency scenes and they also are deserving to be included into the list. I am actually thinking of putting up my own list but since there is already here maybe I will just go over them and see if they are still active.

[davis196]

Great list,but I don't see Theymos anywhere.Bitcointalk.org is the most important forum in the crypto world so  Theymos deserves his place at this top 100 list.

[cabron]

WoW big fishes of our industry, I wonder John MacAfee really deserve to be in the top 10?

His description seem not correct. It should have been "the famous shill" not John McAfee - famous crypto seer.

I come across a post in the forum where he is hunted by authorities because he causes the loss of people during the altcoin bulllrun. Doesn't come as a surprise to you, I cna name some of the coin he promoted but drastically dragged below the expected price almost down to zero.

[rdbase]

I would also think the creators of steemit should be on this list since they created their own website built on the cryptocurrency of steem. Ned Scott and Dan Larimer.
