Real World Crypto 2019 registrations open

I love Real World Crypto. It’s just the best applied crypto conference and a must if you work in the industry and do cryptography. I’ve tried to cover it many times; here is RWC 2018, RWC 2017 and here is my coverage of RWC 2016. I will be at RWC 2019 because I just won’t miss it. It’s in San Jose this year. You should go too.
