Crypto influencers: Sasha Ivanov
Get in for the tech, stay for the money, stick around for the lulz? As the market evolves from bear to bull and back, it can be hard to remember why you’re here in the first place. When all is crashing around you, it’s only natural to lose sight of what’s really important – the tech, the adoption and the long-term odds of success for crypto.
‘The community’ will not provide you with good information under these circumstances. The herd is always wrong – in a market, almost by definition. If you want to cut through the emotion of the current cycle and get back in touch with the fundamentals, then it’s well worth following a few key influencers: professionals who have been in crypto for years, who know what’s really going on behind the scenes, and who have an eye on the big picture and ultimate goals.
The Influencer we’ve chosen today is Sasha Ivanov, the Russian physicist who launched the Waves blockchain platform back in 2016. Ivanov has been active in crypto since 2013, building several businesses and projects before he crowdfunded Waves. Here, we’ve compiled ten of our favourite tweets:
