I think if we were to choose a leader to represent us I would choose based on the following criteria:
- Ability to state the case for Hive in a way that would bring Hive mainstream
- Needs to be a major Hive Stakeholder
- Leadership ability
I heard @blocktrades speak on Hive podcast he definitely fits the first two. Third one I just don't have any information about, but he sounded like he does have it.
