Mark Karpeles.
Andreas Antopoulos is likely going to be a very popular choice here. Perhaps we can research some specific events in the year in which he has been most influential.
I have a day at home today, so i'll see if I can put together some kind of timeline if I get some spare time from the housework

main one of this year was how he easily described bitcoin to the Canadian senate and then proposed they do nothing regulatory

Gavin Anderson I think.

he has helped governments, universities, merchants and average joes understand bitcoin beyond the advertised crap that speculators, mining hobbyists and media usually spout out.
he has cleared up many misconceptions and explained the untapped potential that usually gets unspoken. without him many businesses would not have adopted bitcoin. many governments would have tried to rule bitcoin and many users would have not understood bitcoin

Tough choices
I would say Gavin as usual core developer for the protocol
Turr Demester for his interesting speeches
And perhaps Andreas Antopoulos although there are quite a few candiates from that Bitcoin Senate Series to choose from
Could mention Slush etc.

Coindesk are asking for input from bitcoiners to find out who has been the most influential person in Bitcoin in 2014.
My personal opinion is that, that this year specifically, the accolade should be to someone who has striven to put bring most efficient bitcoin mining rigs to market, and allow hobbyists to stay in the game up to this point. Even if staying in the game means whatever small part we still play, we are still here, and we are still interested in bitcoin - and, we are still contributing to the network we worked so hard to raise up from the ground.
Aside from the fact that the network was always destined to go large scale, the situation we find ourselves in today has been an unavoidable fate from the very beginning and I have based my own nomination on all of the above points.
I've started this thread to discuss all the candidates that might be put forward for this nomination, and why?
please discuss.
