The MIT/ID3 conference was truly useful-- very impressive group of participants, well considered agenda, excellent format, with the break out discussion groups. It was a privilege to participate and I hope very much to continue to engage with many of the people I met who are involved in the VC space. In that regard, I am very interested in the MIT Bitcoin Project and would like to hear about it in detail. Perhaps we could set up a call next Wednesday or Thursday, or if that runs into your Labor Day plans, the following week? Also, yesterday Jeffrey offered to provide us in written form some of his thoughts on virtual currency. Among other things, I'd be very interested in both your views on, for example, potential benefits and risks/disadvantages of various VC models; new models or permutations that we might see in the future and how VC could evolve over time; outstanding technical, economic, and regulatory that need to be addressed/major barriers and drivers of adoption; and anything else that comes to mind.

I'm sorry I was only able to arrive late and participate in the last panel although I was hosting. I appreciated very much your comment the end of our session and the email you sent. > I'm the PI for the MIT BitCoin Project and would love to talk to you more about this sometime. I think you might have met one of the students running this, Jeremy Rubin, who was at the conference. I am trying to make sure that MIT gets ahead of the curve on the technology in this space. > Also, I think you met with Jeffrey Epstein recently. I wanted to let you know that he and I talk frequently and are of the same mind on most things in this space.
