Here is a list of some VCs and notorious voices who could help us spread the message and help us grow DASH. Feel free to add to this list as you see fit. I will start with a few names and their twitter handles.

Roger Ver aka Bitcoin Jesus, VC guy. Could be both an advocate and/or DASH investor
https://twitter.com/rogerkver

Erik Vorhees initial owner of Satoshi Dice, Coinapult and now Shapeshift.io. Known Bitcoin advocate and money guy. Could be both an advocate and/or DASH investor
https://twitter.com/ErikVoorhees

Peter Schiff - libertarian and financial guru, Ron Paul's economic adviser during his latest presidential run. He has his own show where he discussed Bitcoin several times with people such as Erik Vorhees or Stefan Molyneux Having DASH on his radio show could be great for DASH. He could start accepting DASH for his Radio show subscriptions https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff

Stefan Molyneux - a Bitcoin fan with largest philosophy show on youtube. He had several guests on his show to discuss Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. He could start accepting DASH donations for his Youtube channel. https://twitter.com/freedomainradio

Brian Rose - London Real youtube channel. Highly watched youtube channel with several high profile guests. He had some Bitcoin related videos as well. Guy has a financial background and he's a fan of Bitcoin https://twitter.com/LondonRealTV

Brock Pierce - VC and private investor. Guy invested in many cryptocurrency and projects over the past few years. I could be a potential DASH investor if approached with a good offer to buy cheap DASH in bulk. https://twitter.com/brockpierce

Jeff Berwick - Dollar Vigilante popular youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpf2Lxgf10AjzBT4GIIgDJw Guy is a private investor and a Bitcoin fan. He had several shows on Bitcoin. He also managed to convince several high profile investors to invest in Bitcoin. https://twitter.com/DollarVigilante

Trace Mayer - Private investor and Bitcoin advocate, heavily focused on privacy. I know the guy keeps an eye on DASH. He now has a radio show. http://www.bitcoin.kn/ He could be a great promoter for DASH due to his heavy focus on privacy issues. https://twitter.com/TraceMayer

Rand Paul - One of the GOP high profile presidential candidates to accept Bitcoin donations. What a nice PR boost it would be for DASH to get him to accept DASH donations as well. He runs on a platform focused on privacy and freedom from any kind of unjust surveillance. https://twitter.com/RandPaul

Rick Falkvinge - Founder of the first Pirate party and a Bitcoin and privacy/freedom advocate https://twitter.com/Falkvinge

Barry Silbert - Guy runs Second Market Bitcoin Trust, one of the most famous Bitcoin buyers for private investors. https://twitter.com/barrysilbert

I already spoke to Roger Ver, he is aware of Dash and said that he thought it was a good alt. Nothing beyond that, but at least we are on his radar.

I am happy to forward relevant news to him every so often (or until he asks me not to) :).

I thought Peter Shiff has discontinued his radio show. Also if I remember correctly, he was very sceptical towards crypto curencies. But I might be mistaken. I haven't listened to him in a while.

He is/was a skeptic but skeptic in the sense that he argued with Erik Vorhees another crypto could come in and take the spotlight from Bitcoin and in that sense the deflationary argument didn't really hold water. He accepts Bitcoin as payment on his website. Don't think he became inactive he puts out almost daily youtube videos. Latest podcast Oct 3rd http://www.schiffradio.com/

It's hard to get anyone to speak on an alt-coin. Especially for free. There's a few good leads that could work on the blogs with medium-readership.

Don't think it's that hard just that most of the people in the list are invested in Bitcoin and Bitcoin ecosystem which creates a small conflict of interest of sorts. That could change though once they accumulate enough DASH or masternodes or get involved in the DASH ecosystem.
 
I sent this tweet to everyone on the OP list:

InTheWoods Please add to the OP if you or anyone else encounter any more influential Twitter accounts. This is a valuable resource for me.
 
Maybe we should put together a "presentation" site for Dash? With a unique URL.

We can post very visual sequences of the latest Dash tech. Different from Dashpay in the sense that it would be geared toward investors and would be primarily visual with short snippets of text.

Yes. Like an elevator pitch kinda' thing, to show the value proposition.

Stick around a bit more. It's hard.
 
i think Meetups (as Amsterdam) and Conferences (as Miami)
are perfect for this kind of thing !
one on one with new people, exchange questions and ideas ... that is how you really get these kind of people involved or interested in think.

I Miami we will have many good speakers (next to evan)
example:
Tone Vays
super clever guy, has been around BTC forever, well connected in the space, done a ton of presentations, speeches directed discussions on BTC conferences
is a DRK buddy (i met him in person and know him pretty well)
i pinged him already regarding Miami and he is all excited, incl meeting Evan in person
these kind of people need a bit of work, and eventually we might turn them earlier or later

emailing 'celebraties' and such does not work in my opinion as it makes us look
desperate, and none of these 'VIP's' wanna hang around desperate.

they will come early enough, give it some time

That a dig at me looking for Yanis Varoufakis email? :p ;) Lol, I doubt there'd be any point but really would be very interested in hearing the views of someone like that, someone seriously smart that thinks about economics from the ground up and is on the outside looking in.

It was just from pondering the situation with Dash and liquidity, its a no-brainer that it'll either be held by the network or put into investments offering a higher potential return (and likely from there back into MNs until needed) and if the liquidity held by the masternodes could be tapped into then it sidesteps so many problems, hoards sitting idle, fractional reserve, infinite debt, lack of transparency... and ofc lack of liquidity.

Anyway, sorry for the off topic, been turning it over in my head and writing it down can give a different perspective.
