Industry Leaders

Nick Szabo

Nick Szabo has had tremendous influence over the development of blockchain technology. He is best known for his proposal of Bit Gold in 1998 as a mechanism for a decentralized digital currency. The Bit Gold concept, although never realized, is viewed as the precursor to Bitcoin. This has led many to speculate that Nick Szabo is Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin.

Nick Szabo’s other great contribution to blockchain was the creation of smart contracts in 1996. Although blockchains did not exist at this time, smart contracts were originally intended to use self- executing code to enforce contracts between strangers on the Internet. Nearly 20 years after their creation, smart contacts were applied to cryptocurrencies with the launch of the Ethereum network.

Szabo has his own blog where he writes a few posts each year. The topics focus on money, economics, cryptography and blockchain.

Vitalik Buterin

As the creator of the second most valuable cryptocurrency, Ethereum, Vitalik is one of the most influential and recognizable people in the crypto space. Vitalik was born in Russia, but he and his family moved to Canada when he was a child.

Vitalik’s first experience with cryptocurrency was writing for Bitcoin Weekly. He later co-founded Bitcoin Magazine in 2011. In 2015, Vitalik co-founded Ethereum, the first blockchain to use smart contracts.

While Vitalik spends a majority of his time working with Ethereum, the content he shares though Twitter covers a range of topics beyond Ethereum and crypto.

Charles Hoskinson

Charles Hoskinson is one of the eight co-founders of Ethereum, although he left in 2014 to create a for-profit entity, while Vitalik wanted an open-source platform. Hoskinson went on to found IOHK as a company developing blockchains for academic institutions, governments and corporations.

The IOHK team eventually led to the creation of Cardano. As the cofounder of two very successful cryptocurrencies, Hoskinson certainly holds a lot of influence over where blockchain technology may go next.
