He is an advisor on a competitor.
So what? Competitors can't post on each other's blogs? The tribalism is holding the blockchain tech back. I would say contact Vitalik and see if he is willing to crosspost and when his product can do the same as Steem then we can crosspost on that. I don't see why these technological borderlines have to exist.
Having said all of that I don't think approaching people and just giving free shares is wise. I prefer the tried and proven Reddit approach. Approach for an interview as a journalist just as you would do if it were Reddit. Host the AMA just as it would happen on Reddit. Let them verify themselves, vote them up, hype up their AMA in advance so there is an audience ready to up vote, and that should be that. If they want to buy Steem they can do it with the Steem they earned from being up voted but in any case if they aren't willing to sign up for Steem to market their own book, movie, or do interviews, it might be easier to find someone else with a similar Qscore who will.
Vitalik would be nice but he's just a crypto guy and most mainstream people don't know who he is. There are a lot of academic crypto guys who are more well known. There are professors all over the world with advanced degrees and who are well known. Qscore might work for brand but you also have how many times the academic paper has been cited as a quantification of the level of influence of a scholar.
Now you gave me an idea...
