I don't think I'm anywhere near a historical figure on the forum, but I am active and if by any chance I was in the running to receive a coin, I would be grateful forever.
Quite a few of the truly legendary figures have disappeared or gone mad. It would be quite the grind to decide who's in and who's out. I myself have contributed nothing to Bitcoin itself other than a bunch of knob gags and spending too much of it.
I've been around for a long time. That doesn't make me of any use to anyone.
