This list of potential interviewees has been curated by Bitcoin community members with the intent to include individuals possessing a wide spectrum of experience, ideas, and geography. The individuals listed have been involved in the Bitcoin community for a significant period making tangible contributions, have demonstrated competence and professionalism when discussing Bitcoin, are flexible and willing to assist members of the press in both objective and persuasive ways, and are generally respected by other members of the Bitcoin community. However, an individual's appearance here should not be misconstrued as a general endorsement, either by the Bitcoin community or any particular individuals with, regards to potential interviewees and any businesses they may operate, nor any political or personal ideas they may expound, including prognostications about Bitcoin or the price or any other topic." faq: "Facts, FAQs and Myths" faqmore: "To learn more about Bitcoin, please visit the complete FAQ or the Bitcoin Wiki." materialvideo: "Videos" materialvideoformat: "More formats and languages" materialvideoyoutube: "Video on Youtube" materialvideomore: "More videos" materialpicture: "Pictures" materialpicturemore: "Show more pictures..." materialquote: "Quotes" materialquotemore: "Show more quotes..." quotesatoshi: "With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and transactions effortless." quotetonygallippi: "Bitcoin is Money Over Internet Protocol." quotedankaminsky: "Entire classes of bugs are missing." quotechrisdixon: "There are 3 eras of currency: Commodity based, politically based, and now, math based." quotejeremyliew: "The potential for disruption is enormous." quotewencescasares: "Right now Bitcoin feels like the Internet before the browser." quotetylerwinklevoss: "We have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error." quotemaxkeiser: "It's the cheapest way to move money around." quotebillgates: "Bitcoin is a technological tour de force." quotegavinandresen: "You can basically put a bank in your pocket...
