If crypto assets really are the "Craziest Bubble Ever," then Naval Ravikant is the movement's elder statesman.

If Vitalik envisioned the new world, Joe Lubin just might be colonizing it.2017. Dec. 31. 12:00

Erik Voorhees always seems slightly out of step. An early evangelist for the tech, Voorhees may be a rarity in that he has not only maintained but grown his relevance on the industry stage, all the while fighting for an unpopular block size increase and launching projects that seem years ahead of their time.

Master of the ASICBoost, conjurer of Antbleed... Perhaps no character in the pantheon of industry leaders has been the subject of more conspiracy theories than Mr. Wu, a passionate bitcoin believer who's been reviled for his views.
