Andreas Antonopoulos

Andreas Antonopoulos

We honour Andreas Antonopoulos, who has been one of the best entertaining and most important speakers on Bitcoin. His arguments changed the minds of many in the early days of Bitcoin. He was part of the ‘Speaking of Bitcoin podcast and also issued some select parts of his unscripted talks on the ‘Unscripted’ podcast. He studied computer science and network engineering and worked in computer systems management before discovering Bitcoin, realising its importance and changing his life to advocate for it. He has written excellent books on Bitcoin, Ethereum, the Lightning Network, and “The Internet of Money” before the concept of DeFi was understood. These books are still some of the best introductions you can get on these topics. You can also check out his YouTube channel.
