RE: The 10 most important people for the future of crypto
Nick I noticed not one marketer on that list. Mass adoption will crawl along until the marketers and influencers outside of Crypto get in the game. I can't blame you for not having one of us on the list but in 20 years people will be talking about the Steve Jobs marketing geniuses just as much as the Steve Wozniaks in the Crypto world. Check my just published article about the subject.

No marketers are on the list because crypto token protocols are still in the "pre product-market fit" stage in my view.
I agree that marketers are important for mass adoption, but mass adoption only comes with useful products. The engineers on the list are the people that are going to bring the useful products to the market. I believe the importance of marketers comes later.
I find Dash and the Steemit Platform pretty useful. Whether or not folks think influencers are important I will be out there pounding the interwebs making connections and letting the world know epic tools are being created on a daily basis.
It's not just about marketing, it's as much about helping the rest of the world understand what these technologies can do and what we should be doing with them. So it's thinkers and philosophers rather than marketers imho. Many people will get their first introduction to blockchain through Don Tapscott's book, for example.
