Paper presentations at econ conferences usually aren't considered published yet.  You need to submit it to a journal for it to be counted as "published".  Conferences are typically for visibility and feedback, prior to publication.  I usually would like to present at 1 or 2 conferences before submitting to a journal, but it's not strictly necessary.

Well, that's it.  The paper got rejected from the University of Wyoming Bitcoin Conference that first motivated me to start the project, so that was a bummer.  But I think the paper is inherently interesting and I'm gonna try to see if I can submit it to some other conferences.  We'll see how it goes.  This paper isn't in the subfield that I've spent most of my career in, so getting a foot in the door may be hard.

Can you submit to a journal as an article instead of a conference proceeding? Not too familiar with the econ field dynamics. I think you commented on this one, but i don't remember the specifics.
