Last week, as I have done for the last several years, I gave a guest lecture at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.  The class is [DPI-662: Digital Government: Technology, Policy, and Public Service Innovation](https://www.hks.harvard.edu/courses/digital-government-technology-policy-and-public-service-innovation) taught by my old friend [David Eaves](https://twitter.com/daeaves) and the topic in recent years has been on Cryptonetworks and Blockchains.

I am always amazed at the people in the class -- incredible diversity of backgrounds from around the world. And as we have discussed crypto over the past few years, the conversation has gotten better and better -- whereas a few years ago it was a curiosity it is clear that people are paying close attention.  

[Here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1beCz11TotdH80QN19oTPi0ZGb_97kastM9Pdf6SKaI4/edit#slide=id.g7597682f5f_0_527) is the deck I used for the talk.  Like many of my presentations on crypto, it is geared towards newer technical audiences with a deeper policy slant.   Makes less sense without the narrative, but I have included speaker notes which you can see in the [Google Slides version](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1beCz11TotdH80QN19oTPi0ZGb_97kastM9Pdf6SKaI4/edit#slide=id.g7597682f5f_0_527).

Enjoy!
