Let's Talk Crypto
An informal look at what crypto actually is, and its consequences - both good and bad.
In collaboration with Praxis Community University
What This Is
I've been using and thinking about crypto for years, and I've landed on some fairly strong but grounded opinions along the way. This is where I share them, answer questions, and think out loud with you. It's informal. Bring whatever you've been wondering about, skeptical questions included.
The Two Sessions
- What crypto is: the actual nuts and bolts. What a blockchain is, what tokens are, what distinguishes one chain from another. We'll touch on the mechanics of DeFi, NFTs, and other crypto-native inventions.
- The consequences: what crypto has already done in the world, and what it might still make possible. The good, the bad, the overhyped, the underhyped, and where it might be headed.
Schedule
Dates for the two sessions are still being set. If you'd like to be notified when they're scheduled, email me.

Who It's For
