We've seen the rise of DeFi and interest-bearing instruments from the likes of MakerDAO and Compound.
We've seen bitcoin return to its perch as easily the most important crypto project.
We've seen a string of new stablecoins, and several national digital currency projects, from China to the Marshall Islands.
Each year, CoinDesk publishes its "Most Influential in Blockchain" series to highlight people who've stood out in the space and made significant contributions.
It's a chance to take stock and look back, to celebrate the variety of people in this space, and have a bit of fun.
Take a look at the long-list here, selected by CoinDesk editors and reporters.
Who jumps out to you as particularly noteworthy in 2019? Who had a big year? Who was at the top of their game? Who pushed technology in a new direction, or explained or defined topics in a unique way? Nominate FIVE people you feel made the greatest impact.
For Question 2, name anyone you think we've forgotten and should include.
This year, we've also made space for the "Villains" of crypto - people who are more notorious than award-worthy.
For Question 3, please nominate TWO people who made a splash in 2019 for less-than-honorable reasons.
