Luckily we’ve sifted through our feeds to find some of the people (listed in no particular order – we love them all) you should be following if you want to astound your friends with your crypto knowledge and prowess.

@fluffypony

One of the few people who is known first by his Twitter handle, Riccardo Spagni is a widely known crypto personality and the Lead Maintainer of the Monero blockchain project.

Spagni’s Twitter is part interesting cryptocurrency/tech information, and part comedic sideline from Mr. Fluffypony, himself.

@lopp

Jameson Lopp is a Bitcoin veteran, the CTO of CASA (a personal key system) and the creator of Statoshi — a site that displays statistics surrounding Bitcoin nodes.

Jameson posts crypto musings that border on the philosophical, industry news, and the (sometimes very) odd anecdotal story.

@aantonop

A huge Bitcoin advocate and blockchain expert, Andreas Antonopoulos is the lead host on the podcast “Let’s Talk Bitcoin” and has over 160,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Andreas uses Twitter to deliver his content (videos, books and his podcast), as well as to take part in, and start, discussions surrounding different technologies.

@Melt_Dem

Meltem Demirors is the Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares, a company that focuses on crypto investment funds and works with some of the largest companies in financial risk management and capital efficiency.

Demirors can do AND teach, as she is also a course creator and lecturer for the Oxford Blockchain Strategy Programme in the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford.

@barrysilbert

Barry is the founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), a global enterprise which has backed more than 120 companies including Ripple and Circle. In addition to its investment portfolio, DCG owns Grayscale Investments, Genesis Trading, and CoinDesk.

@BWarburg

Bettina Warburg is the co-founder of Animal Ventures, an agency that implements emerging tech, such as blockchain. She is an avid blockchain researcher and is the Executive Producer on Tech on Politics, a podcast discussing political and governmental innovation.
