Brandon Possin is a foreign service officer serving at the U.S. embassy in Tokyo and an investor in digital assets. The views expressed are the author’s own and not necessarily those of the U.S. government.

All around me, I see the next wave of the internet taking form, but I have a hard time talking about it in the office.

Many refuse to discuss blockchain or crypto assets in any formal setting at all.
