LETS START

Nick Szabo

is a computer scientist and cryptographer who is best known for his research surrounding digital contracts — today we know them as smart contracts. He’s been such an influence on the Ethereum team that they labelled a sub-unit of value token as a Szabo –just as Bitcoin has labelled a sub-unit of its cryptocurrency a Satoshi.

Some speculate that Nick is Satoshi Nakamoto, a claim that he’s repeatedly denied. But he has been, and continues to be, a strong influence in the cryptocurrency space.

Vitalik Buterin

is the Russian-Canadian co-founder and the main frontman for Ethereum, which is both a platform and a cryptocurrency (ether). Ethereum is special because it’s one of the first blockchain protocols to gain heavy investment and adoption from companies like JP Morgan, Scotiabank, and Microsoft.

Andreas Antonopoulos

is one of the most well known authorities on Bitcoin and he’s written at length on the subject. Check out Mastering Bitcoin and The Internet of Money –two very important reads for Bitcoin beginners.

If you search YouTube for him, the man is everywhere and his talks are a great place to start gaining a deeper understanding of the context that surrounds cryptocurrency. You can also find him on the Let’s Talk Bitcoin podcast.

Marc Andreessen

is an internet staple; he had a hand in bringing the world’s first 2 mainstream browsers into this world (Mosaic, Netscape), along with a range of startups including Ning and Opsware. He sits on the board of several reputable companies and organisations, such as Facebook, eBay, and HP Enterprise. The man is legend, and his reputation extends into cryptocurrency.

Erik Voorhees

is the CEO of Shapeshift, a really handy tool that allows you to convert cryptocurrencies from one to another that’s built into crypto wallets like Exodus.

Erik is very vocal on Twitter and shares a wealth of information for both crypto beginners and experts or professionals.
