OG Bitcoin builders who never stopped shipping:
Zooko - talked to Satoshi in 2008, dropped the first $BTC blog post Jan 2009, fixed early bugs
Sean Bowe - co-authored BIP39 (the standard for seed phrases)
Andrew Miller - co-wrote Blockstream's sidechains whitepaper
Daira Hopwood - got props directly from Satoshi
While most early $BTC maxis cashed out and disappeared, these devs kept building.
They're now core contributors to $ZEC.
Real builders don't retire. They iterate.
