Top Cryptocurrency People You Should Absolutely Follow on Twitter

4.0 | by Bobby Ong

Twitter is a fantastic place to network with people involved with cryptocurrencies. We personally found it very useful in connecting with cryptocurrency people and in finding out the latest breaking news. To help others discover the power of Twitter, we have compiled a list of top people involved with cryptocurrencies that you should absolutely follow.

This list is meant to be a live document and will be continuously updated based on suggestions. Our aim is for it to be the most comprehensive list. There are currently over 170 people listed on this list in no particular order of importance broken down into several categories such as entrepreneurs, investors, journalists, developers, lawyers and altcoin team leads.

If you think we have missed out any particular person, do write it at the comments section below or drop us a tweet @coingecko. If you find this post useful, do follow us on Twitter - Bobby Ong (@bobbyong) and TM Lee (@tmlee).

Do also check out our main website, CoinGecko and see how we evaluate cryptocurrencies by looking at various factors such as developer activity, community strength, trading volume, market capitalization and public interest. Drop us an email and let us know your thoughts. We would love to hear from you!
