Tomorrow I am doing a Blockchain Law training for over 200 state Attorneys General, deputies, and staff (part of the Blockchain Law for Social Good Center's mission is gov trainings). What should AG offices know about devs in this space?

Thanks for these great comments. Had an amazing turnout and the AG offices had a lot of good questions!

That blockchain ledgers have the potential to be the best AML and anti-terrorism/criminal financing tool ever through coordinated analytics

That dumb pictures of monkeys can be used to dramatically simplify complex ownership/IP disputes

That interagency knowledge sharing becomes a trivial problem w blockchain 🫡

That smart contracts and the idea of "code = law" will in the long run make their jobs easier

1. I think understanding the concept of immutable code and non-custodial software is one of the most novel and crucial things to grasp. 

2. Understanding that most “crypto currencies” are not in fact trying to be currencies 

3. Understanding that most devs / companies want to comply with regulation
