Which bitcoiner taught you the most? \ stacker news ~bitcoin

In your personal education journey, who in particular had the greatest impact on your education?

Was it a popular online persona or someone you’re close to?

Funny enough, my father was the one who orange pilled me.

He worked in finance his entire life. Once discovering bitcoin, he taught me 60% of what I needed to know, and I’ve taken it from there since.

Bitcoin serves as a hedge against his own business — he actually hopes that bitcoin puts him out of a job.

Same here. My dad is going on 80 but he’s got a knack for knowing when something is a good idea. I knew what Bitcoin was way before him, but I didn’t acquire any or begin to really learn about it until I realized he owned some.

By far it is Nick Szabo for me.

His essays ("Shelling Out", "Social Scalability", etc.) were out of this world, weaving deep knowledge from multiple fields into a cohesive whole.

Tony lightning from 21ideas.org.

Although not dirrectly, but with his translations I found beautiful library of books, articles etc. that otherwise wouldn't even hear about.

Michael Saylor. (His podcast with Robert Breedlove on the history of money was excellent). I would say he takes the ‘engineers approach’ when it comes to explaining the value of Bitcoin which will (and has) helped onboard a lot of people.

Pieter Wuille has spent a lot of time educating people about bitcoin. If you have a bitcoin question that leads you to a stackoverflow post, I'll bet Pieter has answered it: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/users/208/pieter-wuille

Definitely an excellent choice here. Not one who will seek to create buzz on social networks like others, but a true Bitcoiner, who moreover works on the source code of Bitcoin and thus actively participates in supporting this monetary revolution for years!

A random guy whose posts I saw on Mastodon, who later disappeared from there so I can't really thank him anymore. I was already looking towards crypto before (due to certain infamous events in my country), though not strictly focusing on bitcoin. This guy just mentioned a few concepts such as lightning, multi-sig, whirlpool coinjoin, that triggered me to read more on that and eventually realized the power of bitcoin.

Matthew R. Kratter without a shadow of a doubt, his Youtube channel (and daily uploads) are top tier and taught me so much.

Second, i would say Michael Saylor, third Andreas Antonopoulos.

These three guys have orange pilled millions.

Myself.

My entire life, I was unknowingly searching for Bitcoin, and eventually, I found it.

Bitcoiners that stand out for me who I learned a lot from are Justin Moon (Buidl / mooniversity programming course) and Bitstein.
