@Theprophet0 is the Steemit account for Nolan Jacobson, a “16-year old innovator and entrepreneur” who actually registered on Steemit at the age of 15. He holds the as-yet-unchallenged record for youngest-minor to operate a reliable witness node for Steem, and as far as I know, probably looks to do well in the overall competition for “youngest crypto-enthusiasts worldwide.”
It is probably safe to say that few, if any, teenagers around Steemit are as familiar with blockchain technology as Nolan is. He has written a thorough and well-rewarded series entitled “Everything You Need To Know About Consensus Algorithms,” that is probably beyond the understanding of even most adult members of the Steemit platform.
I must admit, he reminds me of a young Lexiconical paying for Celeron 400s with the proceeds from a UO-Scripting-Ebay business...except, blockchain technology seems like a much safer bet for long term skill transferability than automating the economic systems of pay-to-play online games.
Nolan has given away several plane tickets to Steemfest2, which he funded via community posts and projects. This is a rather impressive feat for someone that may have been age-ineligible for a driver’s license at the time.
Nolan also helped participate in @thecryptodrive’s (successful) initiative, @Steemdrive, to put up the first Steemit Billboard(s).
Nolan is also a witness on the Muse and Decent blockchains. I'm not particularly familiar with the latter, but it's safe to say he's got a fair bit of experience either hosting his own servers or successfully contracting them out to third parties.
@theprophet0 holds 12,000 SP and is powering down.
