Topic: Crypto kings and queens: Who are they? (Read 502 times)

about bitcoin there is almost no debate that it is the king of crypto. while for the queen, at the moment it looks like ETH is in the strongest position, and the concubine is BNB. We know that the eth ecosystem is very broad and has been adopted by many projects, on the other hand BNB has emerged as the strongest competitor and has begun to expand the ecosystem. both are unique and the technology continues to evolve significantly, so it fits perfectly into the top cryptocurrency rankings.

If Satoshi shows up and proves the truth about bitcoin. Perhaps it will lose the interesting, up to this point, the real strength of bitcoin is that the founder of Satoshi remains "anonymous", it is this mystery that makes bitcoin stand out and most special. Of course, I think that could reflect the bitcoin value that will be greatly abused in the media.

For me there's i will always choose bitcoin as a crypto king and no doubt about it for no reasons, Satoshi was named as a founder or creator of bitcoin but thus it already cleared who is the real Satoshi in real life?
However, I couldn't left out on my lists the name Ethereum! This token is soaring high going to the moon and i am just amazed how this token manage to keep on soaring at the moment.
And course, Binance, the promising rising crypto.

bitcoin is the king that will not be replaced because it is always at the top of the coinmarketcap and the queen is Ethereum because it is under bitcoin.
I think that one day Ethereum can also be replaced by BNB because Ethereum's tough rival is BNB. BNB has a bright future because Binance is the largest market for cryptocurrencies, so Binance could replace Ethereum's position one day.

I agree that Binance's CEO and Founder is a very good business man. I couldn't imagine what he had to go through just to get the company listed in exchange. That was just a fiction during the early days. I don't know how long the meeting was before the people on the board totally understood what the Binance could offer to all of them.

In fact, cryptocurrency was too controversial to be considered by the leaders of the trading industry. And in that reason, I wanted to know more about this guy and see what I could learn from him.

Binance isn't the same as Facebook which is something that can be accepted by the mass. It's totally a different world and at first, I admit that I don't believe could do it!

Good job to their great lawyers, accountants and founders who made it possible!

Upon talking to the king there's no doubt the persons, group, or whatever who made Bitcoin is definitely the King among all coins because I don't think this industry will boom without the introduction of Bitcoin. Regarding who will be the Queen, I can't pick out of them because every each one of them has their own contribution Ethereum's founder Vitalik, CZ Binance and more they all have a big contribution that makes crypto keeps in trend I highly respect so I can't see any reason which one of them who will be the next for Bitcoin.

I would try to trump your picks by picking the one that is at the top which is satoshi, I know that there is no identity behind but with a speculation that satoshi is just a one person and not a group of people means that satoshi is being of high intellect that can design really complex technology.

I noticed some of the big names are missing from this list like Winklevoss twin brothers, Mike Novogratz, Adam Back, Jack Dorsey etc. and even notorious MemoryDealers aka Roger Ver could fit into some category until the time he joined forces with Faketoshi CSW.
King of all kings should be Satoshi Nakamoto and I think there are many more unknown kings and queens who worked hard and contributed all this years to make Bitcoin what it is today.
One thing I don't understand is why would you put copycat CZ Binance on the first place except maybe to feed his ego...

they have their own ways of contributing to the crypto community, whether CZ coming from crypto-exchange business or Buterin creating blockchain for smart contracts. both are important in growing the adoption of crypto usage and so with other developers of other useful platforms.
and take note, from the OP's list, xrp is not no. 4 anymore - replaced by doge now. so are we going to include the orig authors of doge - billy markus & jackson palmer?

What could I say other than they are truly deserving considering the balls of steel they got when they truly ambitious and faithful at the early time of cryptocurrency when everyone mock our coin as a mere toy now the world is turning upside down and cryptocurrency got the upperhand.
but tbh CZ is really smart when it comes to growing his business, considering it could grow so fast within short amount of time but I'd prefer person like vitalik where he really contributes into growing cryptocurrency by inventing blockchain for smart contracts, without him probably defi and dapps won't be around and if it did, won't be as popular as it's right now.

Real hodlers deserve to be king and queens. You need good nervous system for this, hah

The list @OP has mentioned for crypto kings and queens is good and they all have turned out to be billionaire in this pandemic and following is their respective net worth as per 2021 list:

1)CZ - $1.9 Billion(All in for crypto)
2)Vitalik - $1 Billion (After ETH hits ATH of $3500)
3) Brian Armstrong - $20 Billion (After Coinbase listing on Nasdaq)
4)Joseph - $5 Billion
5)Parel - $17.2 Billion
6) Brad - $10 Billion

But for me crypto king or queen 👑 is a person who has effectively contributed for betterment of market and persons like CZ,Brian who started crypto exchanges their main motive was profit making from start but inventors like Sathoshi and Vitalik have built cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum which shifted the momentum from fiat currencies to decentralised payment method of cryptos.They should be called Real crypto kings and queens rather than investors who just invested huge funds in early time to become rich at present prices.Try to include the developers who are suggesting and implenting BIP and EIP for solving issues of crypto.

For me everyone who is holding crypto and bitcoin is a legend. We are the king and queens of crypto, aren't we ?

When crypto will be mainstream in a decade, we will be the one who were part of the journey of transformation from fiat to digital currencies.

If we can see the Satoshi nakamoto , I voted Satoshi nakamoto as the Crypto King because if he'dnt invented Bitcoin then we couldn't get any cryptocurrencies today.

Vitalik Buterin also the Crypto Queen in the world cryptocurrencies kingdom . He is the another popular inventor of smart contract blockchain based assets Ethereum.

Thank you for creating this space here to thank these men and women who have provided great services in the world of Crypto, of course they deserve our full appreciation and they also deserve to devote part of our time to reading their creative work in the world of Crypto, but of course there are many personalities who have contributed and are still developing the world of Crypto, but they are They are unknown and not known to many, so I would like to pay tribute through this thread to all these unknown men who have contributed to the advancement of this industry significantly.

I don't care who they are, the main thing is what they did for the crypto industry.

The only one  that I know on the list is Changpeng Zhao and Pavel Durov, I have high respects for CZ but I have the opposite for Durov because he basically made a scammer paradise and they seem to not do a thing about it, plus I don't think that he belongs on this list just because he made Telegram.

Yeah, even though Satoshi Nakamoto is the one who created the bitcoin there are still a lot of people behind it to make it successful, we should be thankful to all of them because of the things they have done for the crypto community, without them cryptocurrency would not be like this as what it is right now.  Without the successful exchanges right now bitcoin or cryptocurrency would be not like this. It is the first time that I have encountered these name CZ from Binance and Vitalik from Ethereum, thanks OP for mentioning them.

So what does it Mean ? Binance is the new queen? as long as Ethereum holds the 15-17% of the total capitalization then this will remain as queen.

It doesn't care because Satoshi still remain as King of Crypto and will remain forever King.

The creativity and hand work of Satoshi Nakamoto in cryptocurrency is a life legacy, now provided that crypto circulate across or not, it's am objective of one man, maybe that period of planning of crypto other people around render a positive opinion that made crypto to be successful, so we don't know, the person we know today and every reward of cryptocurrency should go to is Satoshi, so in that note it's the alpha and Omega of crypto, and no one should be compared with Satoshi.

Thanks for bringing up this ideas

It seems to me that Zhao is more of a typical Chinese businessman than a technological contributor. My respect goes out more to, say, Vitalik Buterin than CZ. When Binance came out, it was very obvious that it was made 99% for money and 1% for providing an alternative and competitive platform for cryptocurrency traders. The latter being offered primarily for the sake of the former.

I noticed how CZ is coming up with so much products but it seems none of them is a breakthrough. They're more or less polished products with a personal touch of CZ but were all copied from earlier and original versions. CZ has his own CEx, DEx, P2P exchange, blockchain, DeFi, DApps, staking platform, IDO launchpad, crypto data site when he purchased CMC, now NFT, and so on and so forth. However, which among these is CZ's original contribution to cryptocurrency development?

But the guy earned my respect.

Certainly OP, this list of Kings and Queens in the crypto space is spot on. As much as that of Satoshi Nakamoto that he was the architect for the crypto revolution to take place. He was bolder in creating bitcoin because the stream of ideas in cryptography was starting the engines.

My favorites are CZ from Binance and Vitalik from Ethereum because I learned about crypto with their products. It has been hard and unstoppable work that they have done because this technology is unstoppable and demanding.

^ Hi Karl let me explain my thought.
Satoshi Nakamoto is not the King of BTC or the entire cryptocurrency. He is the God of it as he was the one who founded, created, and established it. If not because of Satoshi Nakamoto, other altcoins and also exchange platforms will not be there. They were just lucky enough to jump in early and also trust the job of Satoshi Nakamoto. Nevertheless, the greatest and the most intelligent and talented one on the list is the CEO and Founder of Binance.
Because of him, Cryptocurrency is now becoming more and more accepted by the crowd. It was too impossible for a cryptocurrency company to be listed on a stock exchange. And that was a life-changing one.

Yes I wonder why he was excluded on the list! Or perhaps he his too qualified to be on the list list, if they can include cz, vitalik,  Armstrong as among the btc King mean while the original brain behind the whole crypto market in the first place.

Binance founder CZ is no doubt the king of crypto industry as he can make or break any coin/token. If binance announce it is going to list some coin/tokens, people will go crazy for that crypto asset.
He has more influence than many of individuals op mentioned.
Same goes for Vitalik too but he is more focused on his own blickchain.

Satoshi nagatomo was last active in the forum in 2010. Since then, no news has been heard from him. Either he's hiding himself because he has that much money. Or it really doesn't live anymore. Nobody knows.

The only thing I hate in Telegram is that it became a hub for people that shares the same liking towards child porn. It's a pretty good secure messaging app, although again with that much security and privacy comes the trade-offs.

The other names on the list also contributed a lot to cryptocurrency, for they either brought some innovations on crypto services or upheld some ethos on cryptocurrencies. Changpeng Zhao, albeit one of the most undesirable figures in some countries due to his exchange, brought a nice centralized exchange unlike any other, seeking to open a market wherein KYC isn't necessary for people who just want to do some quick trades. In a market that is slowly being encroached by invasive regulations, CZ stood his ground in spite of receiving countless complaints and fines imposed on him.

If that day comes, and an individual suddenly emerges as Mr Satoshi, the question of his true identity will emerge. At this point, i don't think anyone will be quick to believe the claim of anyone as Mr Satoshi.

Yes, these people have done a lot and will do a lot in the future, but I am sure the list will be replenished with new names. They don't have to be the owners or founders - they might be promoters, bloggers or journalists who will move the market forward. Perhaps someone is already worthy to take a place among these people, but I would not rush. When blockchain news is back in vogue is one thing, but if the market unfolds, let's see how many people will stay afloat and which projects will withstand the next storm.

Satoshi did a lot, but you're right that the whole maintenance, infrastructure and development require other people. I agree that Zhao and Buterin deserve to be on this list, and I'd perhaps add He Yi (she is a co-founder of Binance) as well. It was interesting to read about Amiti Uttarwar, it was honestly the first time I've heard of her.
As for Pavel Durov, I like Telegram, and I've used his other social network when it was popular in my country, but I'm not sure if it's so integral for the crypto market to bloom. I mean, he's creative and all that, but he doesn't strike me as a 'crypto king'.
Moreover, for the sake of history, I would add David Chaum. I think that his creation, while commercially unsuccessful, was an important precursor to cryptocurrencies as we know them today.

First of all thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto because without him there would have been no crypto in the world and no one knows how things would have been without crypto because in the world today a large number of people depends on crypto for survival and most lives has been changed through crypto. Secondly thanks to all those great men and woman who contributed to the growth of crypto because without them crypto wouldn't have been this successful gaining much more interest in the world, their effort did a lot and helped cryptocurrencies to get to this point, for me I would always remain thankful because am no longer broke because of crypto.

King of Crypto is Satoshi Nakamoto, they are nothing if satoshi Nakamoto didn't exist.

But ++ for all they've accomplished, so I'm considering them as one of those kings for the time being, because Satoshi hasn't been identified. For me, Vitalik is the leading king; Ethereum is one of the best altcoins ever that can compete with bitcoin, and I'm fascinated by how smart contracts function, generating a large number of coins.

Though I admire CZ, Binance's founder, for his commitment to make Binance the world's leading exchange in terms of trading volume and low fees, which is why the BNB price is skyrocketing.

Bitcoin ceo Satoshi nakamoto is the king of cryptocurrencies and Ethereum owner vitalik Ethereum the queen of cryptocurrencies. But recently Binance coin is the best competitor of Ethereum.

For the king, I will give a huge accolade to the inventor of Binance and Ethereum. With what has been happening in my country Binance has really helped a long way with crypto transactions and all. Ethereum to me as also stood the test of time as altcoin so far.

I agree that if satoshi appears in public then he will be king and everyone is waiting for the day to come. satoshi is such a smart person that he thought about the future of bitcoin before anyone else thought it was crazy, but satoshi can prove that bitcoin is so valuable that it deserves the satoshi to become king.

I don't if you should count it because who I'm going to be mentioning is an infamous one. Dr. Ruja Ignatova aka Crypto Queen is on the most wanted with her OneCoin pyramiding scheme that had her swindle billions of dollars and disappear and evade authorities up to this day.

I would agree with your opinion, and I believe many others will agree when it comes to XRP or Telegram. Social networks have become part of the digital society, but Telegram has become an empire of crypto scams - to the extent that I have written several times on the forum that this is an app that every beginner should avoid. These two are far from being put on the list of any crypto kings - but they have definitely both amassed a mountain of money because they have offered the market something that is obviously very popular.

---

The best cryptocurrency by what criteria? The only reason they are so high (currently 5th place on CMC) is that the circulating supply of that coin is an incredible 45,404,028,640, and the total supply is 99,990,831,162 - a position secured by tens of billions of tokens and the current price.

I wouldn't give props to Garlinghouse or Durov for the stuff they came up with. Ripple is shit and so is Telegram and their "privacy-focused" messaging app. Telegram is anything but privacy-focused.

I think Zhao has the largest contribution out there, offering a decent centralized exchange that moved as much away from KYC as possible while making their platform not only newbie-friendly but a very attractive way of bringing in new inevstors into the game..

if satoshi appeared in public maybe he would be one of the kings too. he owns 1 million bitcoins and is the inventor and owner of bitcoin. so maybe he would be equal to Vitalik or CZ.

I think the smartest in economic terms speaking is the founder of Binance.They are earning millions of dollars from daily commissions and also their coin BnB is going really well.I think right now this is the most widely used exchange.

In terms of being smart the smartest is without a doubt the founder of Ethereum.

Hello, crypto fans

We all know Satoshi Nakamoto. But the cryptocurrency industry would be nothing without its innovators who have worked hard to turn it into a success.
These people have fostered the popularity of cryptocurrency and are one of the reasons why it’s so widespread around the world.

Thanks to them, the world has Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as a plethora of innovations in the form of digital assets, platforms and systems.
Not only that, these cryptocurrency trailblazers continue to drive the crypto movement towards mainstream finance adoption and other developments.

The crypto industry is yet to reach its full potential. You never know what new innovations will be made to improve it,
but you can rest assured that the best minds are on the case. Keep reading to learn more about some of the most influential people in crypto:

Changpeng Zhao: Founder of Binance

Changpeng Zhao, also known as ‘CZ’, is the CEO of the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.
After studying computer science at McGill University, CZ began to work in the financial and technology sector.

His extensive experience in the industry includes being a developer for trading software and a technology officer for OkCoin.
However, the real magic began when Zhao founded Binance in 2017.

Binance first started out in China then soon expanded to countries like Japan and Taiwan as their success continued to grow.
Trusted by millions of users worldwide, the exchange continues to be a trailblazer in the industry.

Today, Zhao continues to dedicate his time and effort into Binance and its growth. It maintains a steady flow of demand despite being
one of the oldest crypto exchange platforms. Meanwhile, its native token BNB coin is also gaining traction in the market.

Vitalik Buterin: Founder of Ethereum

Known as the great mind behind Ethereum and Bitcoin Magazine, Vitalik Buterin is undoubtedly a household name in the crypto world.
At a young age, he was already drawn to technology, maths and economics.

In 2013, he proposed a whitepaper that plotted his plans for the Ethereum platform and cryptocurrency, which was then launched the following year.
Since then, Ethereum rose through the ranks and is now one of the best cryptocurrencies in the world. With a market capitalization of $249 billion,
it maintains its place after Bitcoin.

Brian Armstrong: CEO of Coinbase

Brian Armstrong is well known in the crypto industry because of his opinions regarding different issues and controversies in the crypto sphere,
as well as suggestions on improving it. Some of these include his clash with the Trump administration in 2020 and his words of wisdom to crypto
beginners about getting started in the industry. Armstrong started his career as a software developer and engineer for companies like Airbnb and IBM.

Upon acquiring $150,000 worth of funding in 2012, Armstrong used it to launch Coinbase. It soon became one of the most sought-after crypto exchanges
worldwide with more than 43 million users. Today, Coinbase is the first and only cryptocurrency exchange that has filed with the SEC to go public.

Joseph Lubin: Founder of ConsenSys

Born and raised in Canada, Joseph Lubin grew to pursue his passion for finance and computer science. After graduating from Princeton University,
his career slowly took off until he became the COO for EthSuisse, where he worked on the program-storing capabilities of blockchain.

Soon after, Lubin was invited by Vitalik Buterin to be one of the co-founders of Ethereum. He contributed to improving ETH through blockchain programs.
However, he is most known for founding Consensys in 2015. ConsenSys is a production studio dedicated to software and applications that are designed
to run on the Ethereum blockchain.

Amiti Uttarwar: The first woman to contribute to developing Bitcoin Core’s underlying code

In the cryptocurrency industry, female names are rarely heard of. However, this all changed when Amiti Uttarwar, a Bitcoin Protocol Engineer for
Bitcoin Core became one of the first women to contribute to developing its underlying code.

Uttarwar started her career as a developer who was proficient in dozens of coding languages. This gave her the opportunity to work with big names
in the crypto industry such as Coinbase.

Moreover, her career took off in Bitcoin Core where she became the first woman to contribute and gain funding to work on the software.
Aside from this, she also mentors other aspiring professionals who are looking to start a career in the industry as well.

Pavel Durov: Creator of privacy-focused messaging app, Telegram

Who would have guessed that a messaging app would be able to contribute to the crypto world? This is exactly what Pavel Durov,
the ‘Mark Zuckerberg of Russia’, did when Telegram was launched in 2013.

Durov believes everyone should have access to private communication. With the help of his brother, Nikolai Durov, the application soon became
a popular platform for crypto enthusiasts. Telegram became a gathering hub for crypto enthusiasts because of its privacy features.
It also supports news channels for crypto, as well as updates on crypto trading signals.

Brad Garlinghouse: CEO of Ripple, the 4th best cryptocurrency in the world

Garlinghouse specialises in financial technology and has worked for notable companies like AOL and Yahoo!
In 2015, he joined the Ripple team as COO and was promoted to CEO the following year.

Although the company has had its fair share of problems, especially with the latest SEC lawsuit, Garlinghouse remains positive.
The company has since bounced back and maintains the 4th spot of the best cryptocurrencies in the world.


These crypto kings and queens along with countless others are the reason why the cryptocurrency industry continues to break barriers and grow in popularity.
Public demand has risen and it’s all because of the technological advances and initiatives that stemmed from these experts.
