Cointelegraph 2023 Top 100: Diving into the top 10

Published at: Feb. 21, 2023

Feb. 21 lifts the curtains on numbers 4–10 of the most impactful crypto and blockchain sector players, according to Cointelegraph’s 2023 Top 100 list.

The controversial player at No. 10 was not on Cointelegraph’s Top 100 list for 2022, nor were the players occupying No. 9, 8 and 4. The person who takes the ninth spot on the list shares the same first name as the cotton gin inventor, while No. 8 relates to a country frequently in the news in 2022. No. 4 is a concept that prefers to be kept confidential. The seventh, sixth and fifth positions are players who made Cointelegraph’s 2022 Top 100 list, each significantly higher on the 2023 edition. Try to guess who the players are or check the list to find out!

‘Major catalyst’ needed to send Bitcoin price to a new ATH, says analyst

According to McDermitt, Bitcoin’s relentless march over the past month was done “with a lack of weekly consolidation,” which was an impressive progression that frustrated bears as “every week is a higher low.” McDermitt is “expecting an equilibrium pattern on the monthly time frame, which is a pattern of higher lows …

Let’s get one thing out of the way: You will not agree with every selection on the Cointelegraph list of the Top 100 Notable People in Blockchain. In fact, you will almost certainly disagree, vehemently, with many of the people we’ve included on this year’s list. You will rage at the inclusion of [insert comedy villain here] and the exclusion of, say, Charles Hoskinson. Particularly if you are indeed Charles Hoskinson. You will seethe at the fact that Arthur Hayes is nowhere to be found. (We looked.) You'll eat your own... words because you once tweeted that John McAfee was …

3 times in March that savvy crypto traders bought breaking news for the price of a rumor
As an old saying goes: Buy the rumor, sell the news. As a digital-native asset class, the prices of cryptocurrencies are clearly susceptible to market-moving news developments that instantly spread on the internet. Staying on top of bullish announcements can help crypto traders reap huge gains, but navigating the crypto news landscape can be daunting. Two major roadblocks get in the way: the abundance of potentially relevant information and the difficulty of making sure one is always among the first to learn the news that really matters.
