While we're talking about world-class debates, here's a question:
1. Who among the top-tier respected sound money advocates (e.g. Peter Schiff and his peers) would be the most likely to support crypto-assets if they somehow had the chance to consider the BitShares profitable DAC metaphor instead of the Bitcoin currency metaphor?
2. What is a good link to a statement of their current position on Bitcoin and crypto-currencies in general?
I have sent a request to have Chris Duane come to our Beyond Bitcoin channel to discuss this in an open format. The way I see it going is that we would have as many members from the forums as we can get log onto their youtube accounts, and each personally request he do an interview for our community (link for my post is here if you want to up-vote it:
https://www.youtube.com/user/TruthNeverTold/discussion) . We would keep this up and continue occasionally posting in this fashion until we finally get him to accept.
The day we get confirmation of the interview acceptance, we will start working on figuring out the date/time for it to occur. Once this is done, we post to the Beyond Bitcoin Subreddit under the heading "Chris Duane Interview, 1 May 14"--approximately 1 week in advance. Under this heading, we will have forum members and other crypto community's members post questions and vote them up/down. At the end of the week, we will have a list of questions in descending order based on the popularity of the questions.
Bytemaster would then have this "debate"/conversation and forum members would log in and have their devices muted, using the chat feature to converse during this time, instead. After the debate/conversation, there will be an interlude of approximately 5-10 minutes when those logged into the server can go back on the subreddit and finalize their questions/votes.
The interlude could provide a time space where we could run a commercial for the individual we showcased, along with sponsors from DACs that honor social consensus in some form, or really anything else we feel is important to help move us forward. (I am currently not sure if I want to monetize this as I want people to trust the motivation behind why Beyond Bitcoin was originally created...but I could potentially be persuaded otherwise if good arguments are made--or good causes found to donate the funds to)
After the interlude, we come back and those who had the questions voted highest by the community would have their mic's unmuted and would ask their question to either Chris, Bytemaster...or both.
After the interview is over I take the recorded file, add it to a video editor along with a premade image with Chris Duane's and Dan's portraits and we upload it to the Beyond Bitcoin Youtube Channel. From there, we can Tweet it through the Beyond Bitcoin Twitter account, post the link to the the subreddit(s) and BitShare's official Facebook can post it there.
I have thought long and hard about these formats and hope this sounds like an acceptable means of accomplishing it. Please let me know what you guys think.
@Legend, I want to do anything possible to help you out despite your inet connection. With that said, lets chat offline about options. We need content creators and especially someone other than me with a "voice made for radio" (I sound like Stevo, from "Jackass"--except for, ironically, when I sing). Honestly, you might be able to do voice-overs for us as that would not require a fast, low latency inet connection...and sending .wav files will not take extraordinarily long time even on a 56k connection. Please let me know how I and the community can help you help us
