Hey Jeffrey,
Thought I'd check in and see what's up on your end.
- I've been watching closely Trump's appointees and there, he might be putting Balaji (a big bitcoiner)
as FDA head, and Allison seems to be somewhat in favor of something like Bitcoin. And of course,
Thiel has said that Bitcoin is what Paypal should have been... Curious to hear where your head is at
on this matter.

- Last week, I presented my research at Stanford's BPASE, it was well received. The most interesting
thing I came up with for that is an inverse-input contract; i.e., funds that are "locked" to be spent only
in the case where there are other funds that are not used in a specific way. An example of something
that could be built with this: a matching donation contract, where you agree to donate your money to
charity if someone else donates to charity, and you would not be able to release your funds from that
agreement until they use their funds not for charity.

- I'm in Japan this week, teaching a class to 100 Japanese Engineers to get the up to speed on
bitcoin (with DG). It's very interesting to see the trepidation first hand that they have with respect to
the technology, despite their debit-based society being more geared for it in any case (DG felt that
even putting Bitcoin in the course name would scare away students). One of my friends (a hedge
fund manager) told me that female japanese engineers are very good, and drastically under-valued. I
made sure to get a few invited to the class, we'll see if he's right. On the whole, it will be interesting to
see the caliber of engineer Japan has to offer on this front.
