| ==== CryptoTwitter ==== | |
| |
| The Twittersphere is where the cryptocurrency conversations (and memes) rage, primarily. This deserves its own subcategories. Also know that Twitter seems to heavily manipulate feeds, and cryptocurrency is one of the areas in which they do so. If some of these folks irritate your political sensibilities, get over it and put on your filter like an adult. | |

| * [[https://twitter.com/theoryofbitcoin|Theory of Bitcoin]] -- Warning: While some of the information here may be good, this account may be a propaganda account in an internal war over which Bitcoin fork is the "real Bitcoin". This is where you have to up your game in terms of filtering information. Often, 90% is good, real information, and 10% is manipulation. | |

| === Cryptocurrency Conferences === | |
| === Cryptocurrency Exchanges === | |
| Think of cryptocurrency exchanges like major corporations. They have their own interests. It is important to keep this in mind because the information they emit is valuable, but there is also plenty of politics embedded. | |

| |
| === Cryptocurrency Thought Leaders === | |
| Take the title with a grain of salt. Being a "thought leader" is a matter of gaining attention, or the appearance of attention. This could be for positive or nefarious purposes. It may also be that some of these people speak "your language" better than others, so some may be good teachers for you, and some may not be. | |
| |
| * [[https://twitter.com/Crypto_Cousins|Crypto Cousins Podcast]] is run by [[https://twitter.com/GaryLeland|Gary Leland]] (whom I'm friends with here in DFW) | |

| * [[https://twitter.com/RichardHeartWin|Richard Heart]] is a weird guy with accusations of fraud, but does still say some things that make you think. Use a controlled filter with this one. | |

| * [[https://twitter.com/Sunayna|Sunayna Tuteja]] is the Chief Innovations Officer at the Federal Reserve and a digital asset specialist. | |
| * [[https://twitter.com/AriDavidPaul|Ari Paul]] of BlockTower Capital. Note: Ari hits the notes right talking about Bitcoin, but his firm hasn't even surpassed Bitcoin's returns. I do not particularly trust him for a few reasons, including his promotion of bad crypto projects, and the fact that he's getting rich simply by holding other people's Bitcoin. | |
