Apparently, there's a blockchain conference coming up at the same time
as many of our other security conferences.
Krugman has a column today that's saying some things that have already
been posted here. Hopefully will gain traction.

Still, there were a couple of inaccuracies. So I sent a short message,
but he's traveling and will not likely be able to make corrections.

Your headline today is inaccurate. Could you correct it?
Also, Bitcoin was announced Oct 31, 2008, on the moderated cryptography
mailing list maintained by my long-time collaborator Perry Metzger:

You wrote "eight years". Could you correct that, too?
You are a "blockchain" currency skeptic. Perry has actually gone so far
as to outlaw posts calling it crypto-currency:
