Mati Greenspan's boss bribed him with 1 BTC to join Twitter: Hall of Flame
Name: Mati GreenspanAnonymous: NoTwitter Followers: 48,000Known For: The "face" of eToro for years, Greenspan is a rare moderate voice on Crypto Twitter.
Who is this guy anyway?Friendly but cynical Mati Greenspan became a well-known crypto market commentator in publications such as Forbes, Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal as a senior market analyst for eToro until he went on his own, founding research and advisory firm Quantum Economics in 2019. He has been among Cointelegraph's 100 Most Notable People in Blockchain for two years.
Unlike the talking crescents and animated whales on Twitter, Greenspan is personally responsible for his opinions, which may explain why he's far less bolshied and defiant than some. With 48,000 subscribers, Greenspan doesn't have the biggest account, but does offer market insights and an alpha.
His slightly obsessive attitude towards crypto stems from his work as a market analyst in the 2000s and observing the "financial crisis from an insider's perspective".
He believes we "have the power to completely supplant the traditional financial sector" within the next 5-10 years.
Greenspan joined Twitter in 2012, the same year he started as a market analyst at eToro. His former boss pushed everyone in the company to open an account and offered them 1 BTC for their trouble.
Greenspan was one of the few to accept the free Bitcoin offer, and he considers this the start of his journey down the crypto rabbit hole. His audience grew through interviews with mainstream media, which sometimes embedded or quoted his tweets.
He set out to amass 10,000 followers, and it was only after high-profile figures such as Crypto Banter host Ran Neuner endorsed him on Twitter that his profile began to increase dramatically and its subscribers have grown from 3,000 to 10,000.
Greenspan thought if it worked once, it would work again, and he remembers reaching out to "close friends and saying, 'Hey, can you give me a recommendation?'
What to expect?Don't expect "laser eyes up to $100,000" content from Greenspan. He describes his shots as "cynical and sarcastic", but says his skepticism has protected him from being "robust" or "scammed" and that he is not afraid to shout bullshit when he sees them.
"If I publish information that I later discover is false, I will always disclose it."
Twitter OxenAs a more moderate voice, Greenspan gets into some fairly moderate fights, mostly with hardcore fans of various currencies who don't think Greenspan is hardcore enough about their various currencies.
Mild Beef: Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard.
Saifedean Ammous tweeted asking for a good reason why Bitcoin's rigidity and reluctance to switch wasn't totally great. Greenspan gave him several and was blocked.
But if you haven't been blocked by Ammous, you don't try. We're not even going to embed the tweet because no one would see it.
Sweet Beef: Pete Rizzo, Bitcoin Magazine Editor
Greenspan responded to a tweet from Bitcoin Magazine's Pete Rizzo about Bitcoin Conference 2021 by enthusing that it was the "biggest crypto conference ever!"
Rizzo corrected him by saying "*Bitcoin*" and pointed him to the correct terminology: "This is a Bitcoin lecture, about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is subjective and that's why it's used as an adjective. »
In the replies, various acolytes said they blocked Greenspan for having a "low IQ" or "being a scammer", while an anonymous account threatened him, saying, "Watch your back bro ".
