" above ... see the Harvard Law CryptoKitties' talk - https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018/luncheon/05/CryptoKitties - as well as Primavera De Filippi's talk in video - https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018/04/DeFilippi ...

Great talk by former Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, yesterday at Stanford. (There were at least 2 former Stanford President Emeriti in the audience – Hennessy and Casper). As the last question, I asked what Italy thought about Euro currency post-Lira (1861-02), whether a single cryptocurrency w block chain ledger was in future in 19 out of 27 or 28 EU states, whether this would be a wild card for Brexit when nation states such as Britain came to recognize the economic benefits of a single cryptocurrency to themselves & what effect of Euro has been on European culture?

Was glad to give Matteo Renzi too my World University and School business card, with planned MIT OCW-centric degrees in Italian written on the back, as well as my Harbin book "" card (since he had talked about the significance of workshops - bottega - in the Italian Renaissance to Italian creativity - e.g. Michelangelo and Da Vinci learned and taught in such workshops - bottega ). Here's a picture -

Dear Anna,

Thanks for your excellent interview with Matteo Renzi just now - "Populism and Innovation: Twin Challenges for Europe?" ... https://tec.fsi.stanford.edu/events/talk-matteo-renzi-former-prime-minister-italy - after his talk.

It would be great to explore collaboration with Stanford President Emeriti John Hennessy and Gerhard Casper - and especially with former PM Matteo Renzi - with regards to planned free MIT OCW-centric degrees (and potentially Stanford Law and Medicine OCW degrees too) online in Italian at World University and School (Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school). How best to explore this possibility?

I tweeted a bit about this, and there's a picture of you in this Tweet as well - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1082828360307245057

Best regards,
Scott
