Ethereum has managed to achieve its success due to the implementation of a revolutionary technology of smart contracts, giving the opportunity for other developers to build decentralized apps on it. Lately Vitalik presented a scaling solution for Plasma, in order to increase the computational potential of the blockchain of Ethereum.
Roger Ver
Roger is an early bird bitcoin investor. Around 2011 he started investing in it at a price of about $1. How good is that? Given with the name of "Bitcoin Jesus" his narrative has changed over the last couple of years: from being a positive force trying to push Bitcoin forward, he has now become a negative force trying to cripple the system. Founder of BCash, he claims bigger blocks are needed for no transaction fees. Roger, have you heard of the Lightning Network? Anyway, if you have missed the bitcoin blocksize drama you are supposed to be very productive person.
Charlie Lee
Creator of Litecoin, Charlie is a celebrity within the blockchain community. Interesting fact is that his first attempt at creating a cryptocurrency wasn’t a success. Fairbix had a few major software bugs which made it unable to withstand a 51% attack.
One month later Litecoin was introduced with Scrypt-based algorithm. This type of protocol essentially reduces the transaction time by almost 75 percent. The average block transaction time is 2.5 minutes. The maximum supply of Litecoin is 84 million coins, 4 times the value of the Bitcoin supply cap at 21 million BTC.
Tone Vays
Tone is a bitcoin youtuber, price analyzer and maximalist. His eight video “CryptoScam” series are very popular within the community. Tone has worked on Wall Street for almost 10 years and later becoming a VP at JP Morgan Chase. Since early 2013, he has been very active in spreading the relevance and importance of this technology as it helps promote economic freedom. If you subcribe for his channel on youtube you will receive world class daily trading info plus a good education what shitcoins is.
