RE: On my Way to the Ludwig von Mises Conference
Great opportunity to present modern "sound money" to old-school Austrians. I'm sure some may be skeptical and possibly dismissive of crypto currency that has (apparently) no physical existence in the material world, but I think old-school proponents of sound money can eventually be brought on board. However, they do need to be warned about banks/governments and other creators of fiat money adopting the terminology of "blockchain" but continuing the old debt pyramid scheme under a new guise. Bankers would love to co-opt certain elements of the blockchain as a work-tool to promote efficiency of the old money creation scheme, without the decentralization, security or anonymity. That's a fool's errand, but they may not realize it before they are crushed by it.
You are right, this is one of the topics I will talk about tomorrow.
