You're right. That was Gavin-bait. Well David Rabahy it's been six months and still no field report. Maybe next year. lol
Huh what? Field report from my talk at the CFR?
I barely remember it, there were probably 50 people in suits in the audience, nobody I recognized. The whole thing is on video, there were no secret meetings, I got there 10 minutes before my talk and left 10 minutes after (I had a bunch of interviews with DC-based journalists scheduled... and I think that was the trip I had lunch with Jim Harper and got a tour of Cato, although I might be mis-remembering).
Gavin Andresen on Bitcoin: "Expect Chaos & Drama". That sounds so CFRish's own "Order out of Chaos".
Btw I wonder how you got named as the Chief Scientist for the Bitcoin Foundation when you don't have a background in cryptography and only came to know Bitcoin later. How did you climbed the ladder so fast Mr. Bell a.k.a Andresen?
