Jeff Garzik is probably best known as the lead developer of SegWit2X in 2017.
Today, he is architecting a project called Hemi – basically building a bridge between Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Back in October 2010, he wrote a "patch" to increase the Bitcoin block size to 7MB as a way of matching PayPal's average transaction rate: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15366
He also worked on the Linux kernel and has an extensive experience in the world of open source software.
On Tuesday, 5:30 PM CET, I will interview him on livestream: https://youtube.com/live/no_Nj-MX53w?feature=share

Ask if he admits he was wrong to try and raise the block size too early.
BTW, I'd like to see Andreas Antop or Bitcoin Mechanic on your show.

I'd love to have Andreas too – but I've met him last year at a conference (he just showed up unannounced, surprised everyone with his presence) and he describes himself as "retired". Maybe he still records some Q&As for his Patreon supporters, but he doesn't seem to be interested in engaging with others.
As for the Bitcoin Mechanic, he's blocked me for being too much on the "permissionless" side of the debate.
