 James Altucher and Naval Ravikant 
 Don’t know James 

Naval is awesome! Actually didn’t know he was a bitcoiner until last year lol

 Cypriot banking crisis in '13.  Was already self custodying, but this was my aha moment, realizing the cost holding keys is very negligible vs the cost of the counterparty risk when dealing with fiat-deluded people.

 Cool story! Definitely that you’ve been such an early adopter 

I’m looking up to you 
 Antonopoulos

 Preston is in my humble opinion one of the brightest minds 

I love listening to him, I love his insights, his positivity, his vibe. 

Wonderful person I would like to thank in real life one day 
 This is making me want to read his book now.
