Finney, cryptocurrency, and often the cryonics connection. There's even a possible film in the works that starts with Hal in the early Bitcoin days, through the time of his cryopreservation, and onto into the future when he is revived. If someone does have
the archive of that sublist, it would be a tremendous source of information for documentarians. It would be wonderful if we could host it. </span></div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Gordon if anyone has an archive of that sublist, that contains some valuable documentation. It is the likely historical roots of cryptocurrency, where Hal and several others were debating the value of numbers and the structure of how
to create a currency based on the notion of control of quantity. I could find in there my reasoning for why I never bought into cryptocurrency: I argued that it would be impossible to maintain strict quantity control because any yahoo could start their own
crypto. This would result in hundreds or thousands of competing currencies, breaking the quantity control model. So… I didn’t buy. So… I didn’t get rich.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Still that archive of those dozen or so posters, a subset of ExI at the time, from about 1998 to about 2000, is extremely valuable historical documentation. I lost my email archives twice since 2000, so I don’t have it.</p>
