Or perhaps you can replace Elon Musk with Theymos the one and only bitcointalk admin who did a lot of efforts and contributions to this bitcoin community, too. Without this bitcointalk forum, we can't be able to learn and we cant see some advertisements coming from here.

You forgot also Wei Dai, who has a great contributions to the field of cryptohraphy and cryptocurrency. Indeed a good compiter engineer who put a lot of effort too in cryptocurrency.

Well according here;

Wei Dai and Adam Back were the first two people contacted by Satoshi Nakamoto as he was developing Bitcoin in 2008 and the b-money paper was referenced in the subsequent Bitcoin whitepaper.

Thus, that two were also a part of this great blockchain technology.

If you add about Elon Musk, you need to add McAffee too

Yes, lol. Even if they gave somewhat bad reputation to Bitcoin, I think they have to be added. Ver is already on the list in spite of misleading people to buy his shitcoin.

I would also put Saylor among the most recent ones, I think he has done a great job in a short period of time.

Elon Musk? I don't think he qualifies. He has done nothing except buy some bitcoins. Putting "#bitcoin" in his twitter bio doesn't count as evangelizing.

He just pumped the price of bitcoin but doesn't really contributed that much in bitcoin.
Maybe if we are talking about the Doge coin, he will qualify especially that he promotes it much more compared to bitcoin.
Manipulating a coin which is supposed to be a meme really helped him, especially that there are a lot of Doge coin investor due to his advertisements in Twitter and other social media platforms.

his tesla corporation put 1billion dollar worth btc and after a while btc price shoots up to 48 to 49k usd from 38k  .
wasnt that enough ? i think that was more than enough . i never see a whale or a billionaire done that before  .
 he promote btc more than the doge because he attached it in  his twitter bio . anyone can see it in the bio and it wont be drag down but regular tweets can be

Despite that we are grateful for Elon Musk in pushing Bitcoin’s price way beyond our expectations, I think he’s still far away from being an “evangelist”. Unless if he finally proves to us that he advocates Bitcoin with passion every single day and not just on a temporary basis, I think Elon has a chance. It’s just my own opinion anyways.

You are right Elon Musk, is not qualify to make the list due to the fact that he did not commit through the development he is an investor not a developer santoshi is the hero of the moment.

Elon Musk isn't a true Bitcoin Core supporter.He just wants to invest some money in BTC and get a profit.
People like Michael Saylor and Jack Dorsey are way more pro-Bitcoin than Musk.
I guess that you put Elon Musk in your list,only because he's the richest person in the world and a very popular entrepreneur.
Roger Ver had some contribution to the early Bitcoin Network,but since the BTC fork and the creation of Bitcoin cash (BCH),he doesn't deserve to be on this list.

sorry if the question is stupid but just curious but since Elon musk has been dubbed(by you) as a Fourth generation Evangelist I am curious who is the first to third generation Evangelist

Elon Musk? I don't think he qualifies. He has done nothing except buy some bitcoins. Putting "#bitcoin" in his twitter bio doesn't count as evangelizing.

I guess the OP thought and put into consideration that Elon musk's recent action has a considerable effect on bitcoin that's probably why he put evangelist

Tough for me to see many names missing, and then some all lumped together as developers, maybe even painful to see the marketer actually be above educators (all due respect of course).

Heroes does carry a connotation of courage, though, to me, so some in there have actually gone through risks -- body, reputation -- to further Bitcoin's cause.

At least one in there has threatened to harm Bitcoin though;)

Thank you for mentioning Ver because I forgot about him, hahaha lol.

But we need to thank Satoshi Nakamoto for introducing bitcoin to us to learn about bitcoin, have bitcoin, and make more bitcoin. We all know that bitcoin can be a new source of income and for investment because of him.

If we can teach other people about bitcoin, they will thank us for giving them the information about the new income source they can use to make money.

I strongly feel the same way here,
If that is how it would work then there are tons of people who are more than qualified to be on the list.
Those who are early contributors on Bitcoin those who had defend Bitcoin on scam accusation not just someone who puts #Bitcoin on their Bio.
If everyone who are rich would be on the list because of putting up the word Bitcoin on their social media then isn't it a bit shameful for those who really did contribute to the Bitcoin?

Elon Musk has nothing to do with BTC development, the biggest part he did was to invest in BTC and BTC exposure since he likes tweeting random stuff about crypto. Elon is a good figure and most crypto enthusiasts follow his twit. However, he trolls most of the time. We got a lot of good people in crypto who helped on BTC's development and exposure, they all deserve all the gratitude people are giving them.

[Alucard1]

I just wanna thank all those names mentioned above, they are those who made it all for the world of bitcoin and we are now getting bigger because of them, even though Elon Musk has nothing to do with the heroes of bitcoin, he also became the reason why bitcoin pumps by putting #bitcoin on his bio in Twitter.
