Name: Mati Greenspan
Anonymous: No
Twitter followers: 48,000
Known for: The “face” of eToro for years, Greenspan is a rare moderate voice on Crypto Twitter.
Who is this guy anyway?
The 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 set off on his own by founding research and advisory firm Quantum Economics in 2019. He’s been on Cointelegraph’s Top 100 Notable People in Blockchain for the last two years.

He set out to accumulate 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 started to rise dramatically, and his followers jumped from 3,000 to 10,000.
Greenspan figured if it worked once, it would work again, and he recalls contacting “close friends and saying, ‘Hey, can you give me an endorsement?’”
What to expect?
Don’t expect “laser eyes til $100K” content from Greenspan. He describes his takes as “cynical and sarcastic” but says his skepticism has protected him from ever being “rugged” or “scammed” and isn’t afraid to call out bullshit when he sees it.
“If I put out information that I later find out is false information,…
