Cointelegraph announces the Top 100 Notable People in Blockchain 2021

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 …

2020 in review: Cointelegraph art team limited edition NFT drop
When you ask someone what superpower they’d most like to have, they usually come up with the ability to fly, or to read thoughts, or maybe to see through multiple layers of clothing. This year, all we wanted was the ability to hibernate. Imagine! Going to sleep sometime around the Australian wildfires… taking a peek outside in mid-March and thinking “Ooooh, no, not sure about this at all” and cuddling up in a warm, happy bed until the U.S. election was over. But think what you would have missed in crypto! 2020 was another decade-in-a-year for the industry, packed full …
