The crypto space is just like any space: you will often have over-simplifications & vulgarizations in order to get people to dumb down the young-but-huge blockchain community. 🤪

I have read 100+ whitepapers, talked with 10s of crypto founders, created investor reports for 100+ projects for Ten8 VC, created 30+ investor reports for IPA News, digged for Initial Supply data for 50+ traded projects (visible on my Reddit profile’s posts). All-in-all, just in 2018, I spent 2000+ hours reading, analyzing & creating reports about crypto projects. 🤓 🤯 💪

“Whitepapers I love you!”

All this to say that I have gathered a unique overview of the crypto landscape. This is list is by no mean perfect. The “Crypto Good Guys” list is what I’d call the “biased list of crypto project with a very good image”. 😍

Some projects kept being mentioned as “good projects” by very knowledgeable community members, usually these guys who’ve been in crypto before 2015. 🤓 These people usually developed an eye for projects that act in a good way & have a taste that’s certainly more mature than someone who came in the crypto space recently (yes, these guys screaming “MOOOOON” and abusively using that 🚀 emoticon).

“He’s such a good guy!”

Without further ado, here are the lists…
