So most of us know about the CEO's and leaders in the crypto space like Vitalik Buterin, CZ, Emin Gun Sirer and the likes. Being the faces of their respective crypto projects they are constantly in the public eye through Twitter, conferences, and so on. While they get most of the attention, we hear much less about the developers who are doing the actual coding behind these projects. So my question is: Who are the most prominent developers in the crypto space these days and historically?? And btw, I guess some of the CEO's/leaders do some developing as well but they are also tied up to all other kinds of tasks. So my question pertains to those developers who mainly do developing and not much else

How will you get money for development?

There will crop up new banks holding btc which will loan these out.

High taxes -- people will be less likely to innovate, and the smart people move their money and businesses out of the country.
Too much regulations -- makes it hard and expensive to start and run businesses.

It will be an eternal race. When the hackers invent a new method, the exchanges will do the same, and so on.

This. Bitcoin is like gold without the transportation issues.

Money that is centralized will always end up becoming a bubble since sooner or later those who control the money will end up becoming greedy and issue way too much money leading to asset inflation (like inflated stock and real estate prices) and in turn a collaps. That's why btc is the savior.

The common man sacrifices the future for the moment.
      The investor sacrifices the moment for the future

Gonna crash big time. They've propped it up with QE making the biggest bubble known to man. When it bursts it gonna be a major shitshow.

I'm not sure if I trust his trading system but I think he has a lot of interesting points regarding macro economics, politics, and history.

It's not a benifit. We joined crypto to avoid government control and privacy breaches. Kyc opens up to both.

When altcoins are in red u should celebrate cause it means they are on sale bro.
