John McAfee is the single most influential person in Bitcoin.

What do you think?

Most influential clown in Bitcoin. He just uses Bitcoin to increase publicity for his political purposes. We all know Bitcoin is a HOT topic in America and the master of security used it to climb to the top even though
he just keeps shilling and spouting baseless prediction.
---
I think CZ is the most influential person in the bitcoin world. You can notice that every time he make a statement on his twitter. Everybody keeps an eye on it, Some give support, meme or criticism. This is the
 main factor to determine a single entity is popular or not.

In my opinion, Gavin Andresen, he's one of the most prominent and vocal members of the Bitcoin community,

Weird post, I would have sworn it was copied from elsewhere and long ago but couldn't find it.

Gavin has been absent from Bitcoin for many years, almost completely absent since he backed an obvious scammer and claimed he was Satoshi.

As far as the repositories go and alert key goes, many people were given access-- just most had the good sense to not brag about it where it might get them targeted. I even sent some of the alerts when the alert key was still in use and also signed the final alert.

Here you go-- this is the alert private key:

Now you are the most influential person in Bitcoin.  Good luck.

[Chain Clash]

Of course Andreas. But... has nobody mentioned Saifedean Ammous? Seriously, I think way too many people are overlooking that guy's work.

Yes, that is indeed surprising. But at least you have pulled him out!

[Slow death]

In recent years it doesn't make much difference who talks about bitcoin, doesn't change anything. Take for example the price issue, even if any analyst makes any price forecast no one else takes it seriously, but if these:

1- US President

2- president of china

say they will legalize bitcoin, so the price will go up a lot, these are the people with the most influence on price when they open their mouth to talk about bitcoin

John McAfee is the single most influential person in Bitcoin.

he is the biggest joke to the crypto world

[Aying]

my go to is McAfee   The guy obviously knows how to bring in more people into Bitcoin because of his overhyped price prediction.

I'm not really sure you chose John Mcafe to represent bitcoin in my opinion John Mcafe is not a smart and good person for that even though he has launched several projects, unlike Andreas Antonopoulos who has a lot of experience and can also understand many things about bitcoin.

I would personally choose Andreas Antonopoulos to represent bitcoin because in my opinion he is worthy in that field.

I agree that John Mcafe is not fit for that position as popular influential person to spread the word of bitcoin. he promote different kind of projects and those words he gave to users are variable. I think his not have a lot of experience about blockchain and crypto. money is everything for him, so I will not suggest him will become that popular. choose wisely so everyone could follow and learn their words about cryptocurrency.

He is influential though, isn't he?

[big_daddy]

he is the biggest joke to the crypto world

He is influential though, isn't he?

I’m flagging him as a crypto clown too
Being influential in the right way is something we have to admire, but his “work” wasn’t a contribution...

Maybe "the dickening" will be a contribution, though :-D

In other words:
If you had to choose one real person to represent Bitcoin (in the public or in a debate against other crypto currency representatives), who should it be?

(It's clear that Bitcoin isn't led or represented by any single one person officially, which is what makes that question so hard to answer. It's also clear that this is feature, not a bug!)

If you talk about the most influential person in bitcoin of course no other than the founder and creator of bitcoin. He is the only very influential person in crypto space in terms of bitcoin. Bitcoin known because of that person and it become valuable and top digital currency among others because of  his influence.

Many would say that Andreas is the most influential person in bitcoin universe, but for me its Roger Ver, from his dedication to advocate bitcoin and showing support to Satoshi Nakamoto's creation was known to be something no bounds, he's been one of the few people who's been a bitcoin evangelist virtually form the beginning. Ver is also the first angel investor of bitcoin and an outspoken advocate of it, now he is best known because of his support with bitcoin cash.
     And if I were to choose someone who can be a representative of bitcoin in a debate, I would still choose him because of his youthful experiences with alternate currencies when his class during fifth grade invented a currency named after their teacher which is Lindyland dollar that is used tonoaybstudenta for their work. from his school up to now the point when he get to be bitcoin.com's executive chairman. He's entrepreneurial skill would be his edge in a debate.

that person sits at the very tip of "Eye of Providence", known the 4th Branch of the U.S. Government.

In terms of being "influential"; to the extent which includes controlling on-ramp and public perception of BTC (共濟會,光明會,世界新次序,羅斯柴爾德家族), and also dis-information.

"  For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

  Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed." - JFK (And nope, this was not about Бoльшeвики/Poccийcкaя coциaл-дeмoкpaтичecкaя paбoчaя пapтия)

It will always be Satoshi nakamoto that will hugely influence people of Bitcoin but up to now no one knows his identity
as for the real person, it seems that it is CZ of binance, coz even some people are not liking his actions or decision in relation to his exchange it seems that crypto people are interested in his opinions or announcements.

[chesk]

I think  Andreas Antonopoulos has a huge knowledge about bitcoin, in the future I will accept bitcoins in my business SeoStation

He's indeed the best among the rest, no wonder why bitcoin is still powerful until now because it's creator influenced other people to support and accept bitcoin. It is still improving until now because bitcoin is getting accepted and adopted by different countries. No one will even know about bitcoin if he don't create it right? what do you think is the reason why some people are promoting and sharing their knowledge about bitcoin? because they were influenced by Satoshi and they're inspired by him. Maybe some of you think it was kind of funny because he's not able to show himself in public but does it matter? you can clearly see that despite of that bitcoin is still growing.

Satoshi Nakamoto is coming back.

He is not realy happy of what governement did to his family.

( Using alzheimer wave with satellite and satoshi predicted they can do it because they explained it in some Governement files and news, usa used it against russian secret agent in 2008 2009 i dsnt remember correctly , he predicted and did everything in case for remember everything he did. ( like creating folders name "remember you" and making skyrock for remember what he was doing in secret as satoshi nakamoto )
He was to genius its impossible to leave forever, he is back and not realy happy of what happened to Hal and his family , he predicted to comeback in 10 years.

Worldwide only one little girls 8yo know who he was in real life and she told him 2 week ago.


Yeah bro New era is coming they will realy understand who is Satoshi nakamoto and the guy only one who changed the world with help of Hal Finney for write in correct english the whitepaper.

Either "no one" or "Satoshi Nakamoto". Thankfully, Satoshi isn't around anymore, making it currently no one.

This is a good thing, because extremely powerful influencers are a naturally centralising force on decision making. Many people prefer to follow someone they agree with and stop thinking critically when that person says something they otherwise might disagree with if said by someone else.

There are some people that I consider very influential, very clever, and very aligned to my views. People like Andreas Antonopoulos, Saifedean Ammous, many of the core devs, and so on. However when I find myself agreeing with them too much, I often go out of my way to find things I strongly disagree with them on so that I can maintain a healthy level of criticality when they say something else that requires careful examination.

To note: I haven't yet found anyone that I agree 100% with; and I consider that to be very positive. I even probably disagree with Satoshi about a couple of things based on some statements he made, but since he's not around to discuss them and elucidate/clarify his opinions further, I won't say that with certainty. I will say however that I disagree with the interpretation I have of a couple of things that he said.

I think this old junkie is very funny lol. Just choose some better person

John McAfee has a lot of issues and most likely there's a better person that is influential than him. I don't know why did he pick John McAfee?, Does he really know who's McAfee?

Anyways, Andreas Antonopoulos is the influential person for me when it comes to bitcoin. He is very worth in this field and has a lot of knowledge on bitcoin.

What do you think?

Most? I don't think so, he's influential but he's not to that point anymore. People on the forum doesn't look to him as the same guy who's very optimistic about bitcoin before. He's changed and as you know, he has shilled a lot of altcoins.

So, putting him on the list as the most influential person for bitcoin is already crossed out. Everyone has the same opinion about Andreas to be the guy that's very influential, I've watched an interview of him and it's not just the influence that he brings. You can see the passion in what he does.
