Great talk, Charles.
I think one of the best things is how you engage bitcoiners. Somehow you keep everybody in the room happy even though many of the solutions you allude to circumvent the bitcoin holy water.
On a much more general note, and I stage this for everybody, Charles' allusions to negative relationships with bitshares and lack of mentions of its problem solving strategies that seemingly would have blended tremendously with the talk possibly speak generally to Bitshares' PR problem. Charles has a very strong working knowledge of bitshares yet must avoid speaking positively about it. It's an awful quandary in my opinion.
I am in the camp that PR and marketing may be best served at the application level by entrepreneurs, but none the less, I am certain it would be valuable to have a world-class CS and blockchain guy like Charles speaking positively and guiding devs and entrepreneurial, interested and bright folk to the project.
After finishing the video, my predominant thought was to have the blockchain pay a high-profile and very knowledgeable guy such as Charles to speak and do Q&A at these types of conferences. Some shareholders fret about about paying for marketing, but with escrow based on proof of performance it could be handled in a measurable way by a trusted team such as Bunker Chain Labs. It would also be a very nice demonstration of a Smart Contract
Does anyone agree bitshares would benefit from some public face driving entrepreneurs and devs to the platform? Or are there better avenues?
