Andreas Antonopoulos is on STEEM!!!!
Or so it is claimed.
Actually he had account on here since July 2016 but never posted. This all seemed to changed within the past 24 hours.
In a post released, his first, he announced that due to the fact people were posting his stuff, he was announcing that he is the "real" Andreas Antonopoulos.
Here is the post for those interested:

What is interesting is this part:
Please do not give your money to scammers.
Was this post just a warning alerting people not to upvote what other "fake" Andreas posts. Or does it mean that he will post content on here and become involved in the community.
Certainly, I hope it is the latter.
For those who are unaware, Andreas is one of the foremost faces in the Bitcoin movement. He has been out front for the last few years giving talks and making videos about it. While it recently came out that he was doing all of this without holding Bitcoin himself, he is recognized as one of the leading voices in this arena.
Anyone who watched his talks knows he was trained as a computer scientist and was involved in projects at the beginning of the Internet run in the 1990s. This gives him the ability to look at Bitcoin (and blockchain in general) from the technical side thus providing an insight that is grounded more in the technological capabilities.
Going forward, I hope he uses this blockchain to post his work. His first post got a nice payout which might incentivize him to come on here more.
This will be another factor in the STEEM ascension, when some bigger names starts to appear on here. I predict that at some point in 2018, there will be a few "household" names who find their way here.
It also would not hurt if Andreas mentioned STEEM in a few of his talks.
