Initially I thought it might be good to get Hearn on the BBC show, from the standpoint he is controversial and it might attract attention to BitShares and allow us to highlight our solutions to various problems in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Our pro regulation features might be interesting to him and stimulate his interest in coming on.
I am now of a different view. Personally I never liked the guy. Every interview I've seen with him gives me the strong impression his motives are not aligned with the original core values of Bitcoin and certainly not my own. He always comes across as someone who just doesn't "get it" and why decentralization and disruption of the bankster cartel is Top Priority, Mission 1.
So although it may lead to a lot of publicity and downloads of the audio for such a BBC show, I tend to think it would cast us in a bad light, unless the interview was more like a 60 minute "hit" piece, which casts a bad image on BBC.
So even if we could entice him to a BBC interview, I tend to think it's not in the best interests of BitShares.
