The Cointelegraph Top 100
Welcome to the first-ever Cointelegraph Top 100. We’re rolling into the new decade by sharing our list of the most important and influential people in the cryptocurrency and blockchain world!
It’s a decidedly community-oriented list and ranking. We decided not to focus on who brought crypto to the mainstream, but rather who has been active in building this space that we all love. This list is also entirely subjective, decided upon collectively by Cointelegraph’s editors. Someone’s inclusion or ranking also doesn’t necessarily mean they are our favorite people, that we endorse them or that we agree with everything they say. But we acknowledge their importance to the community and to this future that we are all building together.
Our guiding questions are:
- Who have been the most important people to the crypto and blockchain community in 2019?
- Who do we expect will be the most important to the development of this industry in 2020?
