Topic: Who is your bitcoin hero (excluding Satoshi)? - page 2. (Read 1012 times)

So what you are saying is, aside from Satoshi who obviously is everyone's #1 pick, every other person that has kept the network going, from the miners which I don't know if many mentioned here to the person that actually introduced you to Bitcoin and the people or person that kept this forum gong from the beginning till now and the lots that have invested heavily on Bitcoin and made it main steam are all not worth recognizing? there are a lot of heroes here which makes it difficult to pick out just one.

I think some things are better done with practical experience and you haven engage with such person's involved before you can attain a certain level of credible trust in what they can offer, these are members of the forum am quit familiar with, i see their post everyday, learn and engage on discussion about bitcoin with them, they are practically into it and are giving out resourceful meaning with their roles on the forum, i think am pretty good with having them as my heroes among others on the forum rather than those i rarely have an encounter with.


This is my first hero in cryptocurrency because the whole entire forum represent a knowledge archive, a noble citadel of learning, where everyone come together across the world to make progress on the course of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

Though it is not included in the listed Heroes ,  but I will still include and that is My Brother because he is the one that Opened my Eyes and Knowledge about what is Bitcoin and how this brings good to my life .

My first Impression about Bitcoin is not that Good that's why His effort and dedication to make me understand is Unforgettable and worth a trust.

but my Bitcoin crypto world/forum Hero is Theymos , because even How hard he is facing difficulties in this forum running yet he continues to spread the word of crypto .

Definitely apart from those who started this movement as such, my best friend is my bitcoin hero, since it was thanks to him that I learned about cryptocurrencies. He is and always will be my economics teacher as he learns something more about these digital currencies every day.

i have a bitcoin hero sotoshi nakamoto only he is a real hero who makes bitcoin from a cheap price to what it is now, even though satoshi is not on the list but satoshi is a true bitcoin hero.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer implementation of the b-money proposal by Wei Dai and the Bitgold proposal by Nick Szabo, and the principles of the system in general were described in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto and I think they were early heroes.
and heroes for me are two of my friends who introduced me to bitcoin and this forum because of them I can until now.
and the next hero is all of us especially those who have been in this forum for a long time (and I really respect all the seniors who have been here for a long time) because they make this the best forum survive and continue to grow which I think will continue to grow.
and what's more impressive is that this forum made me have an amazing and life changing income that i never imagined and i never got before. And this forum is an eternal hero because it all started from here making bitcoin and other crypto more popular and also a place for us to learn and have knowledge.

I am new so I apologize if my contribution ain't in line. I will say the people I look up to are SFR10 and others who whitelist for free considering the fact that some new people like me who are here to learn but are affected by the proxy ban as a result of having the same IP address as some individuals who have done evil so the sin of those ones now affects other who ain't guilty of the same crime. They are the ones I look up to

This is a pretty good topic.  If I had to pick one “bitcoin hero” it would probably be the person who I think is most likely Satoshi and one I’m surprised to not see already on this list, Nick Szabo. Nick is the creator of bitcoin precursor BitGold and the pioneer of Smart Contracts. He is someone who’s got to be on this list (even if I don’t like who he is as a person).

               Quite embarrassing to admit but I really have too little to no knowledge about the people being mentioned except for satoshi. So If I had to mention a bitcoin hero for me then I would say my best friend that introduced me to all this and changed my views about crypto which were mostly negative since what I read about it online are just pop ups that say bitcoin is used by criminals for laundering and other criminal activities on darkweb.

               Another would be the very first ones that bought/invested or traded bitcoins for other things like that guy who exchanged 10k bitcoins for two pizzas. These people were the ones that paved the way for bitcoin and has contributed a lot to what it is today.

Actually, the members you listed have had a significant impact on the Bitcoin world and cryptocurrency in general. A real Hero is always active, supportive, and willing to assist when required. Many of these folks have persuaded me to reconsider my previous belief that cryptocurrency is a ponzi scam, and they have persuaded me to believe in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.
There are undoubtedly some excellent idols to be ranked. More are still accessible, and I realize it's impossible to list them all. I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone of my heroes.

I've not read or heard the story of all those nominated except that of Hal Finney and Laszlo Hanyecz, so between this two, Hal Finney is the hero for me.
And also this forum and its users are all bitcoin heros for me, alot have been done by this forum and it's users that have helped bitcoin become what it is today.
And also, the bitcoin community at large, most especially those that contributed in one way or the other to increase the popularity of bitcoin, this could be by introducing bitcoin to their neighbors, friends, families, etc, teaching them how to buy and sell bitcoin, all this people are all my bitcoin heros.

I'm now reading user comments in this thread and come to the conclusion that I can't single out one or more of them as my bitcoin hero. I understand when people name famous figures from bitcoin world or hyperactive bitcointalk users (or administration) and I don't rule out that they really had a very big influence on someone that some are ready to call them their bitcoin hero. I want to say that, in my opinion, it is not entirely correct to single out one hero, because I believe that everyone who in one way or another was related to the creation, development, popularization of BTC contributed to the future and he is already a hero. Also, each user on this forum has brought, albeit a small, but a piece to the bitcoin community and therefore deserves praise. Someone more, someone less. That's not the point.
I see it as if billions of drops of water form an ocean and bitcoin looks exactly like this, where the ocean is bitcoin, and the drops are each of bitcoin users. Perhaps I will voice an unpopular idea that even Satoshi with his creation would mean nothing without a bitcoin users community because it was these people who breathed life into bitcoin with their faith in it.

Who's to say that DaveF isn't already part of bitcoin history?

I am happy to include specific names at this point. The shout outs are heart-warming. If the list becomes limited later, then I'll deal with it then (or not).

My bitcoin hero is no other than my friend who introduced me to this forum back in 2017.

I remember the conversation we had when we were talking about watches. I told him that I wanted to purchase this $200 Seiko watch in which he approved of my taste. Since I was only a college student at that time and earning money (via part-time jobs) was not in my radar at that time, he quickly introduced me to this forum and the potential of earning BTCs every weekly by participating into campaign signatures.

Because of my friend, he opened the doors for me to purchase not only books but educational materials for my general use. I literally owe him everything- though it is kinda sad to see him being inactive in this forum.

I kind of thought your list would stick to some names relevant to Bitcoin history, but it seems like your list of heroes could get as long as time goes on

Bitcoin seems to attract extremely talented people. Many are already mentioned here but I want to mention a few more.

I would like to start with Con Kolivas to this list, an Australian anaesthetist that gave us cgminer and the solo mining pool ckpool. He's known here in the forum as -ck. I would say he has been extremely influential in the Bitcoin world. Almost the entire mining industry adopted cgminer in one way or another, and even these days ckpool keeps finding blocks.

Open source has benefited Bitcoin immensely. This is a good opportunity to also acknowledge jgarzik who published the CPU Bitcoin miner that would eventually be forked by -ck and turned into cgminer. Also of course there's the great work of kano who has contributed many things, like cgminer's API which enabled the creation of multiple miner dashboards, and is the current maintainer of cgminer, adding support for the latest GekkoScience Compac F, which were created by the talented sidehack. There's also all the great work done by Luke-Jr with bfgminer, and other projects like Bitcoin Core development and keeping alive a lot of tools and projects like a graph of the number of Bitcoin nodes, and others.

Mike Caldwell gave us the casascius coins, creating a whole industry of physical bitcoins and bitcoin related art. There's a lot of people in that space that have created amazing things, like kialara for example.

There are of course a lot more people that should be mentioned here, but I think I made the point already. The more I learn about Bitcoin, the more I realize this space is filled with a huge and diverse group of extremely talented people. Bitcoin is a great technology, but what makes it absolutely amazing is the people that are involved in it.

I don't find him a Hero, but what he does is a really needed one for the ongoing market. This can be connected to the adoption, investment, trust, real-time usage, etc. For this I choose Micheal Saylor. The decisions he took in buying and accumulating bitcoin have made a big change among the institutional investors. Following his activities there were more number of billionaires and their firms into bitcoin investment. At some point there were discussions stating such huge accumulation could lead to manipulation of market, but the same has caused positive move on the cryptomarket.

I tend to agree, this dude deserves to be called a Hero of all heroes in Bitcoin.
Hal Finny was here since the Bitcoin forum was created and he contributed a lot to this forum sometimes I may think that he deserves to call and has a right to claim as a satoshi.

I always think that those who spend large sums of Bitcoin before also can be called a Hero, the pizza man, and also the forum member donators contributed Bitcoin for the sake of the forum that was created by the creator of Bitcoin.

There are a lot of them who deserve a Hero badge.

the one below is my Bitcoin Hero


without a solid community then bitcoin would be impossible for the size it is today. I got to know bitcoin when I searched for it self-taught on google, then accidentally I found this forum in 'search'. this forum is really awesome with amazing people too, nice to join here.

I agree with your opinion, themos is a hero of btc, who has kept this forum, then people who dare to hold bitcoin and always invest in bitcoin, under any circumstances, they are also true heroes of bitcoin, without anyone daring to hold bitcoin for sure bitcoin is not will be popular until now, and it is impossible for people to dare to invest in bitcoin, my real heroes in bitcoin are everyone in this forum, who have taught me about bitcoin world.
