Hi Jesús,

Thanks so much for your email and interest.

I just updated my blog post - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/12/sand-dollar-in-big-picture-of-planning.html - with your:

What is Cryptocurrency?

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS

https://www.cryptocoinsociety.com/what-is-cryptocurrency/


- and yes, you're welcome to share this blog post on LinkedIn (and I just connected with you from https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod/ too).

I'd like to share my New Year's letter with you - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - with where World Univ & Sch is heading with facilitating a single digital currency, backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and potentially distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments to all 7.5 billion people on the planet. What's your focus on the 'Pi' cryptocurrency in your website? Below you'll find a recent blog post with explorations about how, brainstorming-wise, law courses in Europe about the 'Pi' cryptocurrency could be developed re questions of regulation. See, too, the 'UBI' label  in my blog for more about "Mine Pi" and digital currencies.

And are you connected on Twitter with the Director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, Neha Narula - https://twitter.com/neha ?

Best, Scott

Hi 👋
I was wondering if I could share your article on my LinkedIn? http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/12/sand-dollar-in-big-picture-of-planning.html

I have a few thousand connections in the crypto niche who I think might find it useful.
Also, I noticed in the article you had linked to this piece on "what is cryptocurrency?" that is quite a bit outdated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency
I actually just finished writing "the ultimate beginners guide to cryptocurrency" (https://www.cryptocoinsociety.com/what-is-cryptocurrency/) that covers pretty much everything someone new to the crypto scene would want to know.
Perhaps you might consider updating your article by including a link to mine? 😊
If not, no worries!!!!!

o Rafael, Andrew, Jesús
Great, thanks, Jesús (and Ralph)! 

Please mention free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - (planned too in Spanish) - a different kind of currency! 

World Univ & Sch is planning for our 2nd undergraduate class to begin this autumn, as WUaS begins licensing this via the state of California's BPPE. 

(And if possible, could you please link me into your LinkedIn Crypto post - https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod/ - so I can learn! Not sure when or in what ways WUaS will facilitate, brainstorming-wise, the 'Pi' digital currency in all ~200 countries' official languages! Thank you!)

Cheers, Scott

Dear Jim, Anant, Larry, Ed, and Jane,

I just this morning heard back from edX by email to both email addresses (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org and sgkmacleod@gmail.com): 

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the Head of Content Strategy and Acquisition role at edX. This role has recently closed and we are not considering additional applicants at this time. We appreciate you taking the time to apply and encourage you to keep an eye out for future roles that might align.

Thank you again for your consideration and I hope we can be back in touch soon.

Regards,
edX Talent Acquisition"

I'll keep an eye out for another related edX career position - https://www.edx.org/careers - as World Univ & Sch seeks to begin to license with CA's BPPE, as soon as the March 11th BPPE workshop in Sacramento - https://www.bppe.ca.gov/schools/application_workshops.shtml - depending on having a platform that BPPE would likely license (such as edX).  

I hope your time in Portugal is productive and regenerative, Jim. Thank you. 

Sincerely, Scott

P.S. 
Am including below my email of 31 Jan 2020 to all of you again, and in particular with regards to:



"Were I to get this "Content Strategy" edX position, possibly construed in a slightly different way (for example, with a mandate from the edX Board to edX to engage MIT OCW, -since the edX head of business development says there's no relationship whatsoever now between MIT OCW and MITx, for example - yet he's also said there are 205 course in this regard), it would be an amazing opportunity to grow edX into all ~200 countries' official languages, and with existing certificate edX courses possibly buildable into CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees that would be reimburse-able by departments of education in all 200 countries' languages too."



Hi Jim,

Happy Friday too! I'll seek to wait patiently to hear from edX. Am glad the Chairman of WUaS (Larry) recently said that $5000 is now available for CA BPPE licensing for WUaS, but licensing will be potentially a further challenge now, since partnership with edX doesn't seem possible at this time, and BPPE would likely readily license MIT OCW > MITx courses for example, with platform & grades etc (as they said they would a Google platform or similar). 

So getting BPPE licensing going for WUaS before considering heading back to Cambridge for this position would be important (and there's another BPPE workshop in mid-March in Sacramento) which would be valuable to go to with draft document in hand, having gone to a first CA BPPE licensing day-long workshop on 2/20/19 in San Jose. Were I to get this "Content Strategy" edX position, possibly construed in a slightly different way (for example, with a mandate from the edX Board to edX to engage MIT OCW, -since the edX head of business development says there's no relationship whatsoever now between MIT OCW and MITx, for example - yet he's also said there are 205 course in this regard), it would be an amazing opportunity to grow edX into all ~200 countries' official languages, and with existing certificate edX courses possibly buildable into CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees that would be reimburse-able by departments of education in all 200 countries' languages too. Having just seen in a Tweet from edX CEO Anant Agarwal (in my 4-page cover letter too) that Stanford is becoming a member in edX, and having communicated with Stanford Medicine and Law about online medical schools and online law schools in ~200 countries' languages (Harrington MD and Vogl) over some years now, I see a possible opportunity for WUaS to explore additionally developing online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric PhDs and Bachelor's degrees through Stanford edX too. I think though the edX Board's mandate to develop MIT OCW > edX is the more likely candidate for Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees, - and I think too that edX could potentially seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' departments of education at the rate of what tuition costs at MIT or Stanford ($55,000 per year), prorated per country by GDP or similar.

 I hope online academia will be able to generate ever-unfolding research and teaching "to keep their digital" academic faculty and staff in all ~200 countries' languages busy, Jim, - and would like for World Univ & Sch to be able to help here especially (and on both our 501 c 3 wing, and our for profit general stock company wing - both in ~200 countries' languages as world class universities, and in 7111 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning+). 

Have a great trip to Portugal, and I hope it's very regenerative for you especially. Thanks again for your great service science, management and engineering thinking, and your communications here especially regarding edX and this great 'Head of Content Strategy ... ' position I continue to be very interested in. Looking forward to emailing with you when you get back potentially, and thanks so much again for your thinking, suggestions and communications. I'll continue to wait patiently for a call back from edx, with the hopes of hearing about scheduling an interview for this "Head of Content Strategy and Acquisition" position. Thank you, Jim, and bon voyage! 

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Jim, 

Thanks too for your update from Portugal. As I think you've read just now, am seeking to explore a kind of of edX Board mandate to edX to further develop CC-4 MIT OCW into edX in its 4 languages, and potentially via WUaS - and hopefully with a paid role at edX to do so. Thanks so much! 

Thanks, - Scott
