My Happy Place
Twitter is many things. It is a special place to vent and share ideas in the form of memes and tweetstorms, diatribes and inquisitions. It contains a section to catch up on sports, worldwide events, breaking news — everything. Of course, Twitter also provides a home for trolls and fear mongering, and may one day be made redundant by blockchain tech — but as of now, Twitter’s viability as an informational source is undeniable.
Let me tell you about the best group on Twitter, the community that elevates Twitter from a time-sucking social media platform to an arena for meaningful engagement and (mostly) healthy discourse. Yes, it still has dank memes and trolls, but it also has class, shared values, and common belief that the world can be a better place through the implementation of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. That’s right, CryptoTwitter is my happy place.
I thought long and hard about ordering this list but eventually decided that it would be too difficult and entirely subjective…
Who are the best people to follow on CryptoTwitter for Ethereum?
Vitalik Buterin
Widely known as a co-founder of Ethereum, a person who’s definitely not giving away ETH, and potential space alien(still awaiting confirmation on this one). He transparently engages with other users, responds to most non-trolls, and provides some of the greatest insights of anyone on all things blockchain.

A self-described absurdist, troll, Vlad is an Ethereum developer leading the transition to proof of stake on Ethereum. Vocal of CryptoTwitter, he also frequently discusses blockchain governance, cryptoeconomics, and other blockchain scalability proposals.
Andreas M. Antonopoulos
The Godfather himself. He’s one of the foremost bitcoin and blockchain experts, has authored multiple best-selling books including, “Mastering Bitcoin”, “Mastering Ethereum”, and is all around one of the most beloved and respected individuals in the crypto world. He’s so beloved that many crypto enthusiasts joined together to donate $1.6 million to Andreas for his tireless commitment to the community.
