Thank you very much Peter for pointing this out! That is very kind of you.
It would be great to work with Constance Choi, Primavera De Filippi, your
goodself and others to make this happen.
As you may know, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority considers bitcoin a
virtual 'commodity' and not a currency per se.

</span>Great!<br>
<br>
FWIW there Constance Choi and Primavera De Filippi (CC'd) are holding a=
<br>
blockchain-tech conference October 14th-15th in Hong Kong as well;<br>
coordinating your summit with that conference could be useful.<br>
<br>
<a href=3D"http://blockchainworkshops.org/" rel=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_b=
lank">http://blockchainworkshops.org/</a><br>
<br>
This workshop series has been attracting audiences of people looking to<br>
use blockchain tech in general; many of these use-cases will likely<br>
involve the Bitcoin blockchain in unpredictable ways. Importantly, these<br=
>
ways can drive demand significantly beyond our current assumptions based<br=

<br>
In addition, many of the attendees have significant experience with<br>
regulatory issues and interacting with governments on regulation of<br>
blockchain tech. Bitcoin faces existential risks to its existence by<br>
these regulation efforts, which include things like efforts to setup<br>
industry wide Anti-Money-Laundering/Know-Your-Customer programs,<br>
including programs that would tie on-chain transactions to identity<br>
information. Any blocksize discussion needs to be informed by these<br>
potential threats to usage of the technology, as well as challenges to<br>
using scaling solutions.<br>
