My thoughts:
Tim Ferriss: I met the guy and read his book (4 hour workweek) while it was still an unpublished manuscript. I got ahold of it because Tony Robbins had a copy, my girlfriend worked for Tony and brought a copy home saying I'd love it....long story short: I did love it and told Tim it would be a best seller....his response? "I know it will." Went on to be one the HUGE NYT bestseller that it is.... Great book, great guy, not sure he'd be the right fit to interview Dan. I can reach out to him, though its been quite a few years. He's still a rock star in my mind.
Cool, that your gf worked for Tony Robbins, that's a rock star. I'm a big fan minus the fact that I think he had/has Warren Buffet as long time full on client and I'm not a particular fan of Buffet.
Max Keiser: I've already been working on trying to get Dan on Keiser's show for a few months now. Its not easy to get ahold of Keiser and although Ethereum got on the show, I think in general Keiser's people had a hard time understanding Ethereum and perhaps for that reason aren't interested in any other next gen crytpto technologies like bitshares. We're still working on several angles to get an interview on Keiser's show.
Actually that's not true at all. Max and Stacy love Ethereum and the bitcoin 2.0 space as a whole. Don't blame your inability to procure interviews on the knowledge of the interviewers. Great projects make the news not ask to be on it.
Bit harsh charlesh, but yeah I'd be pretty certain Keiser knows the basics of Bitshares already, at the moment though it's still more of a concept that wouldn't really make a good guest spot, but once profitable DAC's start being launched it's a different story. I also think Daniel is getting better at interviews, coming across a lot more animated and conversational so I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't consider him as a guest when BitsharesXT is launched.
Maybe Max wants to avoid bitcoin related stuff because of the utter fiasco that was Maxcoin's launch.
If Max had waited for Bitshares technology then it would have been a different story.
I think he's still covered Bitcoin and Crypto stuff since then (and still tried to pump Maxcoin multiple times since then too...)
I thought watching him trying to pump other coins (price-wise) in the past was disappointing considering he spends half the show complaining about bankers doing the same thing, but with MaxCoin I find it really sad to watch. Otherwise I'm a huge fan of the show.
