Vitalik Buterin and Dan Larimer are among the recognized names in crypto space for being pioneers in creation and development of blockchain technologies and contributing to building decentralized systems. They both a similar in away that they are talented coders, inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin network, has been active in the crypto space since the beginning of their journey. They both don't shy away from expressing their thoughts not only about the blockchain technologies, decentralizations but also what affects they may have to society and politics.
While there are commonalities between them like their passion for decentralized systems, they have disagree on many topics, especially how this decentralization can be achieved. There are also differences in their political views. Even the blockchains they have created used different consensus algorithms.
We often see them exchanging tweets arguing one point or the other. One of the recent ones is about Vitalik's views on the future of "multi-chain" and "cross-chain".
My argument for why the future will be multi-chain, but it will not be cross-chain: there are fundamental limits to the security of bridges that hop across multiple "zones of sovereignty".
On the other hand, Dan seems to have ideas about building bridges among networks and communities.
I'm hoping to bridge #hive and #Bitshares communities. We all benefit by working together.

They have many more interesting back and forth ideas like this. As someone who is interested in blockchain tech and decentralized system, I do find them informative and educational. I don't pay too much attention to the political aspects they present. That's where things get a little bit boring. But if this was a debate or a dialogue between these two talented blockchain founders, I wouldn't mind paying to watch.
They both are aware of Hive network, its community, and its accomplishments. Wouldn't it be great for Hive to host them for a debate or dialogue on the topic of "future of decentralized systems and Web3" or something like that? I think that would be something really cool.
We already have talented interviewers who do talks on Web3, decentralization, blockchain, etc. It would be great to see such a debate or dialogue hosted and moderated by Community Token Talk (@theycallmedan & @starkerz) or CryptoManiacs Podcast (@jongolson & @taskmaster4450). Gentlemen, if you make this happen, I promise I will pay to watch. :)
I think it is possible, since both Vitalik and Dan respect Hive community and recognize its accomplishments. Most importantly this would be a truly decentralized space for such event to happen. Debates and discussions about decentralized systems and their future are done best on a truly decentralized platforms.
