I am interviewing Vitalik Buterin tomorrow. I am offering the opportunity for the Steemit community to contribute questions!
Vitalik Buterin is the founder of Ethereum and a god among the crypto community. I am the admin of the Ethereum Facebook group with almost 40,000 users now. I bought into the ICO and have been in contact with Vitalik since before the Genesis block. Tonight I asked him if he would kindly allow me to interview him. I am taking requests for questions from the Steemit community and the most mind blowing questions will be chosen for the interview tomorrow. I am really nervous. There are few people in the world I admire more than this man.

Live updated rough draft of interview questions.
1.) A friend who had no previous crypto experience recently bought Ethereum with a credit card for an ERC-20 ICO. What are your thoughts on the explosion of Ethereum's popularity and what is your best guess on the price of 1 Eth in 5 years?
2.) Do you foresee house or car keys ever being stored on the blockchain? Would you be willing to do it and why?
3.) What do you think about artificial intelligence and predictive analytics controlling so many military computer systems and weaponized drones around the globe? Do you think these networked supercomputers will turn against humanity someday? In what year?
4.) Accurate brain computer interfaces are becoming reality. What are your insights into transhumanism and cyborg technology?
5.) What is the best solution for automatic transfer of cryptocurrency wealth when a person dies?
6.) What are your thoughts on upcoming ERC-20 ICO "EOS" which will attempt to eliminate gas through consensus? Do you like the project or see it as a competitor? (Submitted by @RoelandP and @Kryptik)
7.) You were recently given the great honor to have privately spoken with President Vladimir Putin. Will you be working with the Russians in implementing blockchain technology in their country?
8.) What more can you tell us about your conversation with President Vladimir Putin?
9.) What educational advice would you give the kids who wish to become as intelligent as you?
10.) Banksters are already patenting blockchain technologies. Will that interfere with development of Ethereum?
11.) How will Ethereum interact with virtual reality games and where do you see the trend going in the gamification of cryptocurrency rewards.
12.) There is so much energy focused on audio and video technology but seemingly none on smell. Why do you think scent has been so largely ignored in film and other media? Is technology advanced enough to transfer scent through the blockchain?
I have some ideas for Vitalik.
What are your thoughts on the plethora of ICO's launching on the Ether blockchain?
Is it a good or bad thing? And why?
Looking forward to your post about this interview @noganoo!
Now with Intel Microsoft JP Morgan and Vladimir Putin all behind Ethereum will the bank of England even bother with there
RSCoin, a cryptocurrency controlled by the Bank of England. lol
and will Ethereum be integrating any of the ten new cryptocurrency patents put forth by the Bank of America

Ok thats my question lol
@thelifeofbrian ...Very good Question man! "I call this removing the veil" .... Time to take those bags of wool off of everyone's eyes and get real..... put a cap on 'gullibility' and "deceptiveness" for a change!
@thelifeofbrian ...Like wanting to buy good healthy, wholesome Organic food from the top GMO supplier on the planet "mon santo" or expecting to get real cure giving ayruevedic medicine from the Largest Pharmaceutical company on the planet,,,, Bay er... it just doesn't work that way!
Its going to be a hard nut for the big boys to crack we will just jump ship and go back to bitcoin or something better.... or something new will come along so try as they may as long as things are fluid it will be hard to grab control. And this makes me grin from ear to ear lol
We will definitely be asking about putin and the crypto patents, thank you for your input!
Hello,
perhaps practical aspects originating from the blockchain layout such as what is the concept behind it is; what was it that was holding its implementation and deployment back for so long, and why there have been very few implementations of it until quite recently; how can future hardware and supercomputer developments affect it?
If this is not a strictly technical interview, reports, opinions and assumptions into the psychological and sociological aspects of the whole idea are always interesting to be heard.
Good luck with the interview-
We will ask about how quantum computing and supercomputers will effect Ethereum.. GREAT question!
Hey I can actually see one of your posts. (For now).
That's pretty cool that you're interviewing him.
Ask him what he thinks of EOS for me?
GREAT QUESTION! We'll ask him What he thinks of the new "Ethereum Killer" EOS... right along the question about increased Ethereum Gas prices.
....cool....ask him when he's gonna join STEEMIT? fun,loving community here.....im sure he would get a VIP treatment for the sign up process that he doesnt would need to wait that long....
cheers
Ok, we'll ask him about joining Steemit and also what he thinks about the "mind mining" distribution system that it employs.
Ask him what was said between he and Vladimir Putin about Ethereum and the blockchain.
Excellent!
What were the results of the interview? Was there audio or video footage? It looks like there isn't.
What's the biggest challenge Ethereum faces towards gaining mass adoption?
What's Ethereum's greatest strength towards gaining mass adoption?
Has the US government offered any stance regarding Ethereum and its potential to undermine the centralized banking structure?
what are his thoughts on EOS? Does he like the project, does he see it as a direct competitor?
Question number 6! Thanks for the input!
are you being witch hunted?
It's been happening for 6 months. :( I just want it to end. I hope this will end it. I see Vitalik interviews get hundreds of thousands of views. Nobody will admit to owning the @iflagtrash account.
@roelandp no he is not being "witch hunted" @noganoo has been doing a lot of evil shit lately, and many steemians are legitimately pissed off at him with the best reasons. The scam he is doing against @berniesanders @randowhale project is just the top of the iceberg. He is banned from http://steemspeak.com and from http://steemit.chat and most other crypto communities for all kinds of reasons.
I gave him a very small upvote on this post only because I know the ethereum group on facebook is legit and owned by noganoo, and if he actually pulls of an important interview and start paying the ones he has fooled by squatting similar names to @randowhales and making money of coins people have sent in error he may have a small chance of redeeming himself, but honestly - he has really really pissed of a LOT of people over a VERY long time.
I think even @papa-pepper agrees that there is a limit of how much one can tolerate until it is time to cut the line and focus on more and better people.
So no @roelandp - he is being flagged for legit reasons.
thx for the update fyr...
Bitcoin has made 232 million transactions & its blockchain is 151GB. Ethereum only made 30 million trx but its blockchain is 185GB. (6 GB in past week added to ETH Blockchain). This is unsustainable and already proving to be less scalable than Bitcoin.
What is your solution to the scaling issue which has proven now not to only be an issue for Bitcoin, but for Ethereum.
