Well, that's it. The paper got rejected from the University of Wyoming Bitcoin Conference that first motivated me to start the project, so that was a bummer. But I think the paper is inherently interesting and I'm gonna try to see if I can submit it to some other conferences. We'll see how it goes. This paper isn't in the subfield that I've spent most of my career in, so getting a foot in the door may be hard.

Can you submit to a journal as an article instead of a conference proceeding? Not too familiar with the econ field dynamics. I think you commented on this one, but i don't remember the specifics.
