The award is well deserved.
Also sooner or later, "Satoshi Nakamoto" would be given a Nobel Prize.
Other developers to watchout for; Daniel Larimer, Rong Chen, Eli Ben-Sasson, Charles Hoskinson
sure okay vb gets the award...
David zimbeck, byteball dev, sys dev, zcash team, , jl777, i'm sure anonymint is going to be up there in due course, cfb and a handful of others .
to be fair there is not more than 15 devs or teams that have created something of real note the rest of the projects are mostly marketing hype and dreamers.
