Erik Voorhees

I think he's kinda like the founder of the whole “crypto for freedom” movement, or at least, he's one of those people who definitely made me think, "Hmm, maybe this whole crypto thing isn't just a phase." He’s the CEO of ShapeShift, which, imo, is pretty rad because it lets you trade crypto without needing an account, no strings attached. I love that, no paperwork, no bs. Plus, the guy’s got those libertarian vibes, basically, he’s like the crypto version of “don’t tread on me,” except with more charts and less snake flags. Regarding the VVV situation, I'll just say that he should've stuck to protecting personal privacy via Venice.

Made a bunch of people money but going off the CT sleuths, the team/ people connected to the team dumped tokens on unsuspecting public. Neutral score because the access to decentralised AI is a noble cause that I'm interested in seeing how it plays out.

Crypto trailblazer. His knack for spotting Bitcoin’s potential early on led to killer projects like Satoshi Dice and ShapeShift, making crypto more accessible and fun to use. He doesn’t just talk about freedom in finance... he builds its. He’s consistently delivered tools that empower users, and now with Venice.ai, he’s taking that same bold energy into AI... total legend in my book!

Remember seeing Erik in Banking on Bitcoin documentary. He stood out as someone that truly lived the crypto ethos and wanted to help improve the world in any way he can. Over time he's become involved in other projects and such but I can always look to him as a guiding light of what the spirit of crypto should be

Erik's history spans crypto's history. He created the first successful crypto game (Satoshi Dice) and sold it for more than 100k Bitcoin 🤯 Later he made Shapeshift and battled the USA government tooth and nails for years, fighting for our freedom to transact. I know people are giving him crap for the VVV launch, but the token allocation was transparent and at it's core Venice is a platform protecting personal privacy. O and if you remember, he took down SBF.

Erik Voorhees is a crypto pioneer whose unwavering commitment to decentralization and financial sovereignty shines through his work with ShapeShift and advocacy for Bitcoin. His bold vision and principled stance make him a polarizing yet undeniably influential figure in the blockchain space.

One of the OG's who advocates for a fully decentralization.. If you are looking for knowledge and educate your self in Decentralization; definitely should follw EV.

A group of insiders front ran a known Coinbase listing and then sold into it with the reasoning that tokenomics were disclosed and OGs were supporting it. Doesn't matter if you have a real product or not, dumping $10M on day one while majority public buyers are in loss seems very short term on their end.

Philosopher/thinker and also a builder. I have this man on notifs, always interested to hear what he has to say because it usually snaps something into focus. Fortunate to have him here.

Erik Voorhees has wild takes on crypto twitter - pretty insightful and controversial. I followed him ever since I started dabbling into crypto twitter.
