At Beyond Bitcoin, who do YOU want to hear speak?

[luckybit]

I would love to speak at the conference! My goal is to speak about the future of decentralised gaming applications and present my DAC to the community. I am still finalising draft proposals to submit to the shark tank.

I will be in touch during the following weeks.

Will you be honoring the social contract?

[unimercio]

Jeffrey Tucker gave probably the best speech in Miami.

Jeffrey Tucker is founder and CEO of Liberty.me, distinguished fellow of the Foundation for Economic Education, Executive Editor of Laissez Faire Books, and research fellow of the Acton Institute. He is the founder of the CryptoCurrency Conference, serves as economic consultant Let’s Talk Bitcoin, and writes a fortnightly column for The Freeman and Crisis Magazine. He is author of Bourbon for Breakfast, It’s a Jetson’s World, A Beautiful Anarchy, and his upcoming book Liberty.me: Liberty Is a Do-It-Yourself Project and thousands of articles, introductions, and prefaces. Following his 15 years as editor and builder of the website Mises.org, he now works on building Liberty.me as a social network and publishing platform for liberty-minded individuals.

 .  Agreed... He added polish to the Miami conference and gave an engaging presentation. He would be my first choice for MC.

I came up with the perfect speaker, can you Guess Who?

Lives close (Salt Lake City, Utah) to Las Vegas, owns Bitcoins himself, CEO of a well-known company that accepts Bitcoin, and stated why his company at the moment doesn't hold onto Bitcoins for more than a day because "There aren't any derivative instruments out there yet to hedge that risk, but we anticipate they will be created in one way or another."

hmmm hard to get that one  !!!  But would be nice if it could happen.

Great idea.

Jeffrey Tucker for sure.
Jeff Berwick perhaps?

That's great. Really looking forward to your DAC proposal. Good luck !!

[clout]

Tom Malone. He is a professor at MIT Sloan School of Management. He talks a good deal about decentralized organizations and the promise that it can provide. I think if he knew about bitshares and DAC's he would fully support the movement and speak at the conference. I don't know if he's the guy thats going to pump you up, but I think it is very important to get support of academics.

Here are three short clips from youtube that illustrate his like minded approach to organization theory and harnessing the wisdom of the crowd for collective decision making.

I think no matter who you get you should require of them that they do a talk on the actual technologies we care about, and if they do not know about them, that they learn about them, so we don't get talks from some big-shots about something vaguely, but maybe, but not really related.

[sang]

I would love to see Sal Khan and what he thinks of these technologies for empowering the less advantaged of the world.

Andreas of course is an easy pick. Maybe some technical discussion by people in the field on source control and versioning/upgrading of blockchains in place - this is an interesting challenge to me. 

I think contacting some of the "futurist" style speakers and opening their eyes to the DAC possibilities would be interesting. Maybe once they have had time to think about the tech they could talk about where we may be going  (similar to the Mike Hearn talk about autonomous cars that's on YouTube).

Also any discussion of the economic ramifications of blockchain tech would be good. (Impact on trade, free markets, individualism, power shift to individuals, etc).

I don't know where he stands exactly within the Bitcoin community, but I have heard Trace Mayer says very clever and inspiring things.
