Most famous person on Bitcointalk?

[bananaunana]

Satoshi was active on Bitcointalk but he is not active currently.
Do we have more famous people on Bitcointalk but still active recently? Not limited to Bitcoin and Altcoins of course.
What is your most famous person on Bitcointalk you have ever seen?

Edit: I mean real person like John Mc Affee

Most of the famous people here on Bitcointalk are those who are always active here on the forum.

You can check the BPIP.org tool to find them and I think they are under the most recognized tab check the link below.

Most infamous member is *hitler reincarnated and is still active, and the most famous in a sense of being a true scientist is gmaxwell. Others are good as well but they hide behind alt accounts.
Of course our legendary commander is still kicking and still around, hopefully for a long long time, God willing.


*= you know who.😂
Ps, any other source is rigged.

Most famous person / member in Bitcointalk can be known by you but unknown by others. Because forum members have different interests with their time in Bitcointalk.

If they are more actively in Meta board, they will know about theymos, one of the two head admins. They also can know about LoyceV with many threads in the board and regular updates for his threads like weekly updates.

If they are more actively in Wall Observer thread, they will more probably know about phillipma1957 who has most posts in the forum and very actively in that thread.

If they only actively in their local boards, they will know more about most active members in their local boards.

I mean a real person, like John Mc Affee or similarly famous.

[criptoevangelista]

I don't know anyone, but the chance of you exchanging messages with famous and rich people is very high here, they possibly use other names, I understand them, sometimes they just want a little privacy

He's dead. lol. All are real people , I don't follow you? What are you looking for, this?

If you want most infamous frauds, there is that you mentioned(rip?), and faketoshi.  However kardashians are famous as well with zero talents only nice butts. Who are you looking for to shill around here?

Also I wouldn't consider bpip or any other source reliable.

Why, it shows active users at least which seems what he's after. It's just scraping this site constantly, where do you think that data came from, some other site?

Bitcointalk prioritizes privacy of users and reveal about real names, new identities is not recommended.

It can cause personal dox attacks that is not allowed by forum rules.

There are some cypherpunks who are still active nowadays but on social media like X (Twitter). Some developed their own cryptocurrency projects and no longer develop Bitcoin.

Martial Mialmi https://twitter.com/marttimalmi. His account on forum is sirius.
Gavin Andresen with a biggest ever Bitcoin faucet (in bitcoin amount) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.0

and more.

[Darker45]

Well, we don't know the real persons behind majority of the usernames here. There may be some of us here who are famous in real life. So it's hard to tell, but as far as those who are personally known are concerned, at least there's Charlie Lee, the creator of Litecoin. He's still a bit active. There might be more, but the rest of those who have got big names especially in crypto like Andreas Antonopoulos, Adam Back, Vitalik Buterin, and others are mostly inactive.

[bitbollo]

I would mention also Satoshi and Hal Finney... but if you made a deep search you will find also very notable scientist, coin makers, hard miners, CEO, fraudsters, criminals, people that own a c****e thanks to Bitcoin...
I remember some topics here on forum with this kind of lists

What I know is that Satoshi is the only famous person on this forum. But as you said, Satoshi is no longer active now. So to be clear, I also don't know who the famous people are who joined this forum and are still active on this forum. Because as we know, the people on this forum are all very anonymous regarding their respective identities.

People that are active on Bitcointalk are famous, but they might not be the most famous person. You will see Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcointalk account being discussed in other social media other than Bitcointalk. No one that has account on this forum that will not know Satoshi Nakamoto, but his account on this forum is not active.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Many people who are well known cryptocurrency figures have been active in the forum at some point. Outside of Satoshi, probably the biggest name would be Vitalik Buterin — the creator of Ethereum. There are also controversial personalities like Roger Ver.
A hacker who stole over 50,000 BTC from the Silk Road also had a forum account. He was known as Loaded on BitcoinTalk.

It was nutildah, unfortunately Alexa which is a project about web's rating, is already closed. So we can't know which keyword is the most popular in this forum right now.

My wild guess probably Symmetrick is the famous user right now.

Top Keywords...
@nutildah you are quite a famous man...

usually trolls like nutty have a bot that searches the site every few seconds for mentions of their own name.

I'd be curious to know if we have actual celebrities on the forum although I think if that was ever found out, those accounts might leave or create a new account to save themselves the headache from beggars and fanatics.

There's many who have been considered famous when it comes to the bitcoin world. Satoshi, Hal Finney, Gmaxwell, Vitalik, Charlie Lee, theymos, are among a few of those names that comes to mind, all of whom have been mentioned already. There are tons more active users who have some sort of fame. For example, current campaign managers have fame as they are the ones hiring and letting people earn bitcoin. Gambling site owners have some fame as well. Too many to list but check the gambling section, most of the sites topics are active.
