The list starts off with our own cryptocurrency expert, who first started mining Bitcoin six years ago…

Cryptocurrency Twitter Account to Follow No. 3: Charlie Lee
Lee created the cryptocurrency Litecoin in 2011, which he calls the "silver" to Bitcoin's "gold."
The idea behind Lee's design is Bitcoin will act as a store of value, while Litecoin is used for everyday spending because of its faster transaction times and lower fees.

Lee was a software engineer at Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) from September 2007 to July 2013, and he was also the director of engineering at the digital currency exchange Coinbase from July 2015 until June 2017.

Cryptocurrency Twitter Account to Follow No. 2: Andreas Antonopoulos
Antonopoulos is the author of "The Internet of Money, Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain" and "Mastering Ethereum: Building Smart Contracts and Dapps."
He became so enamored with Bitcoin in 2012 that he quit his job as a freelance consultant and started speaking at conferences, consulted startups, and wrote free articles.
In appreciation of Antonopoulos spending his own time and money to educate people about Bitcoin, the crypto community donated $1.6 million worth of Bitcoin to him on Dec. 8.

Cryptocurrency Twitter Account to Follow No. 1: Vitalik Buterin
Even though he is just 23 years old, Buterin has accomplished a lot in just a short time.
He proposed the idea for Ethereum in 2013, a blockchain-based platform that allows smart contracts to operate. Smart contracts are self-executing deals between two parties that have agreed to specific terms.
And he dropped out of the University of Waterloo in 2014 when he received the Thiel Fellowship for $100,000.
The Thiel Fellowship was created to provide guidance on entrepreneurship and allow individuals to drop out of school to pursue other work.
After leaving Waterloo, Buterin went on to work on Ethereum full time.
From just an idea in 2013, the Ethereum coin now has a $66 billion market cap.
