100 Best Crypto Twitter Accounts to Follow: The Definitive List

Crypto twitter is one of the most dynamic and engaging online communities you can find. It’s full of enlightening discussions of (possibly) the most important economic breakthrough of the 21st century. It’s also simultaneously filled with frauds, shills, and shitposters. Searching for signal in this noise can be tough, but if you’re willing to put in the time you can build a great list of the best crypto Twitter accounts to follow.

Not willing to put in that time? We’ve got you covered with our comprehensive list of 100 essential crypto accounts on Twitter that you should be following:

The OGs

These are all accounts that have been active since long before the 2017 crypto bubble. Pretty much every one of these people has already made their fortune trading and it comes through in their tweets. Often accused of being “lucky” despite the fact that they were smart enough to trade from 2014-2015 when everyone else thought crypto was dead. Priceless wisdom to be had by following them, but they won’t make it easy for you to find. All funny, some with darker humor than others.

Crypto Cobain

“Crypto trader turned internet joke factory”.

Jebus

If you’re losing money in the crypto market, you probably don’t want to follow him. Will twist the knife (in the most hilarious way possible).

Loops

The most outspoken bear of 2018. Recently deleted all his tweets but will likely return the next time Bitcoin drops 10%.

Active trader, great follow for tips on lesser-known coins.

Notsofast

Legendary altcoin miner. Will help you stay ahead of the curve on potential new opportunities. Big fan of Dragonchain.

Charlie Lee

Original developer behind Litecoin, one of the earliest and most popular “altcoins” to Bitcoin.

Dishonorable Mention:

Craig Wright

Crypto twitter’s most hated…Faketoshi. Insane person. Claims he is Satoshi Nakamoto while offering no credible evidence. Is currently working on one of the failed Bitcoin Cash forks. Follow for unintentional humor and nothing more. Will ban you if you make fun of him.

The Content Creators

There’s no shortage of crypto-related content in the form of videos, articles, podcasts, and more. A lot of it is trash. These accounts are reliable sources for high-quality content that will actually help you learn.

Dum

Host of Shitcoin talk, the best show committed purely to trading bitcoin and altcoins.

The Best Crypto Traders

A lot of people are into cryptocurrencies because they want to get rich. These guys are doing it better than most. Plenty of posts on technical price analysis of different coins and they are usually open to answering questions (if you ask nicely). Remember though, this is not investment advice. Most of these people have cartoon characters for AVIs. Imagine explaining to your wife that you lost the kid’s college fund because you made your investment decisions based on a cartoon Jalapeno from Twitter.

Borrow their knowledge, these people are smart. But make your own decisions.

Note: There are a lot of crypto trader accounts on Twitter that will try to get you to pay for access to their “exclusive private trading group”. 95% of these accounts are frauds trying to take advantage of gullible newbies. All of the useful technical analysis you need to succeed in the cryptocurrency space is available for free if you are willing to hunt for it. Don’t get scammed.

The Feds

Chris Giancarlo

Chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The highest ranking U.S. Government official to openly support cryptocurrencies.

Jim Rickards

Gold bug that hates anyone who entertains the thought that Bitcoin could be a considered a gold alternative.

Peter Schiff

Another gold bug that tweets about Bitcoin more than his favorite commodity.

The Zealots

Most of Crypto Twitter approaches the industry with at least a slight bit of skepticism. They prepare themselves, to varying degrees, for the possibility that this whole economic experiment is a waste of time. The following accounts do not:
