I've always wanted to ask this question, I don't know if it sounds funny or unintelligent, not actually trying to downgrade anyone's contribution to the open network whose existence has impacted our economy, everyday life and internet connections. So, it dawned on me to ask this question Whose job in the entire Bitcoin history deserves the greatest accolades?
1. The minners
2. Influencers
3. Centralized exchanges
4. The users
6. Other please specify.
First off, your list is missing one crucial participant and that is the developers that build these crypto products and services that have push crypto adoption to the stage it is right now. Now that's out of the way, I feel like the two biggest categories that have impacted crypto adoption from the onset is:
1. Developers
2. Marketing / Media
- Developers- Because they constantly build new products or improve existing products. The more these products and services get more user friendly, the faster we can on board new users. This is similar to what NEAR protocol and other blockchains do at the moment.
- Marketing/Media - This category are responsible for getting word out. Whether you believe it or not, This is the first place people goto search when they first come across the term "Bitcoin" (I did so too and I know others that followed this path)
This is just my opinion. Other categories might have spearheaded several moves but these ones I feel have made the most impact.
