Congratulations on being invited to speak at the CFR, it's an honor and a milestone for the bitcoin community.
Really? How so, exactly?
Is it because they are a powerful bunch? The Mafia is also a powerful group of people; if they invited Gavin to speak, would you consider that an "honor and a milestone for the bitcoin community"?
Or is it because you believe they are nice, honest people?
Well, it means they are taking note, regardless of their true intentions.
