Sorry, I can't do that, because I promised I would submit the 
text for him.

I have added the text below to the wiki. Should I also fill out 
the cfp.html in his name?

Patrice Riemens: The pitfalls of Bitcoin and the many potentials
of blockchain technologies.

The limitations of Bitcoin are partly technical, and partly due
to the political economy of Bitcoin within the wider context of
the current crisis in financial capitalism. However, blockchain
technologies are enabling a lot of new potential solutions to
current economic, social, and political problems. These changes
and solutions will be considered within a framework of politics,
ideology, sociology, economics -- and even economic and financial
history thrown in for good measure.

Patrice Riemens is the Fellow of the Waag Society in Amsterdam, a
promoter of Open Knowledge and Free Software, has been involved
as a "FLOSSopher" (a 'philosopher' of the Free/Libre and Open
Source Software movements). He is also a member of the staff of
Multitudes, and was a founding member of the Dutch Hacker
Movement ("Hippies From Hell").
