Title: Bitcoin Episode on The Julian Assange Show?
Post by: elux on June 18, 2012, 06:05:11 PM
Julian Assange of Wikileaks infamy is hosting a TV Show on the RT Network. (http://assange.rt.com/)

The series features in-depth conversations with key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries from around the world.

Has anyone been in touch with them regarding the possibility of a Bitcoin episode?

The show's producers can be contacted here:

I assume filming has to happen near London, where Assange is beeing held in house arrest at the moment.

Would notable Bitcoin advocates like, say, Gavin Andresen, Amir Taaki or Erik Voorhees
be interested in appearing should they receive an invitation?

Is there an operational Bitcoin Foundation that could be tasked with pursuing this idea?

If you think this is a bad idea, please let me know. If you think this a good idea, please let them know.  ;)

I kinda doubt a Swiss court will allow house arrest for what Assange is charged with if he is convicted. I wish he would have done a show about Bitcoin before he disappears from public view.

It doesn't really matter, he will probaby be extradited by the US and be locked away next to Bradley Manning.  :'(
