I am a lecturer, researcher and someone trying to learn more.

So, was hoping I’d be able to share another accepted paper, after getting through 3 rounds of revision for a paper critiquing a paper published by some academic hacks (Alex de Vries included), but at the 11th hour, as it returned to the editor-in-chief’s desk, it got rejected with quite a bit of force.

If after 3 rounds it was still shit, fair enough, but surely that suggests the reviewing process was at fault or the associate editor had different standards than the EiC. If I go a little conspiracy, could this mean that as it was about to get accepted, the EiC didn’t want the reputation of the journal to be affected by acknowledging they published some work that was, not to get too personal, shit, or the 3 rounds of reviews were to delay me……

Either way, put it up on a preprint site, and also going to share a slightly longer piece talking about this process (maybe my first read). Also, in other news, after uploading it to researchgate (academics equivalent to Facebook), the lead author of the original paper started following my updates (dr Peter Howson, who wants a world of post-capitalist…. Also see commie ).

Did I just kick a hornet’s nest? Fucking bring it.

After a lot of rejections, a paper I wrote linking process improvement (think operational level productivity improvement) and inflation, it got through the editors desk.

Now accepted and final editorial checks. It’s not about #bitcoin, explicitly, but I think it gives some good insights, and hopefully helps cut economists down to side. Once the paper goes live will post, watch this space.

Gm nostriches, super stoked that the book I wrote last year is now up on thebitcoinshop.uk, not quite a sci fi adventure with a bitcoin kicker at the end, just people trying to understand their world, with some relatively novel ideas related to bitcoin.

Rather than taking it from a macro perspective of how bitcoin will change the world, starting with an entrepreneur and exploring how #bitcoin could change their world.

Have written a book. It’s mainly about drinking wine, issues with inflationary fiat currencies and bitcoin. Available on Amazon.
