The Top 100 Countdown Begins
On February 8, Cointelegraph launched its much-anticipated annual countdown of the Top 100 heroes and villains in the crypto realm for 2023. It’s like the Academy Awards but with less glitz and a lot more Bitcoin. Unlike last year’s star-studded extravaganza, this time the rankings are released in batches of 10 which is akin to a reality TV show where the tension builds with every episode, leaving the audience clamoring for more! So far, the countdown has covered numbers 81-100.
Meet the Faces Behind the Rankings
The initial release featured some recognizable names: BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, who has been more active than a squirrel on caffeine, and tennis legend Maria Sharapova, proving that even sports icons are getting in on the crypto buzz. Following this, the next batch unveiled rankings 81-90 on February 9, shining a light on entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and Immunefi founder Mitchell Amador among others.
Pseudonymous Players
In a landscape filled with mystery, pseudonymous figures like The Crypto Dog are part of the narrative, taking spot No. 83. Let’s not forget the innovations that are revolutionizing our industry, such as green tokens, which are making waves at No. 86. It seems that even in crypto, energy efficiency is all the rage!
Highlights from Rankings 71-80
Fast forward to February 10, and Cointelegraph unveiled the next set of rankings, 71-80. Leading the charge is Alex Gluchowski, CEO of Matter Labs, who just wrapped up a Series C funding round that amassed a cool $200 million in 2022. Talk about a way to grab attention! Meanwhile, the inventor of Hashcash, Adam Back, made his mark at No. 74. Back’s company, Blockstream, is on a quest to merge Bitcoin mining with renewable energy like a modern-day superhero—for the planet.
New Faces, Familiar Places
This year’s compilation shows a mix of fresh characters and some returning veterans. It’s like a beloved sitcom that introduces a new quirky neighbor while giving the old characters a bit of an upgrade. Cointelegraph plans to keep the momentum going by releasing ten additional profiles daily until all are revealed, culminating in a grand finale that promises to leave us on the edge of our seats.
