In planning to connect via coding WUaS's MediaWiki "front end" with our Wikidata / Wikibase "back end" for wiki teachers and learners in ~200 countries, and in each of all 7,111 known living languages, WUaS seeks to plan and code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. In doing so, WUaS seeks to help facilitate and teach about a single cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and as UNIVERSAL Basic Income EXPERIMENTS, written into code partly by law students at World Univ & Sch's ~200 planned law schools in countries' official / main languages ... 

See in a related vein:
India to ban all cryptocurrencies except 'digital rupee'? https://cointelegraph.com/news/india-leaked-draft-bill-would-ban-all-crypto-except-digital-rupee & https://bitcoinist.com/india-may-ban-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrencies-except-digital-rupee/ Sounds like opportunity to create & test central-bank backed single #cryptocurrency for 1.3 billion people, as #UBI experiments? https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Banking_and_Money &






12
World University and School is seeking $250,000 for a year - to pay the BPPE licensing fees, for WASC senior accreditation, and to hire graduate students (such as Stanford and MIT graduate students to teach 'sections' online to MIT OCW faculty in video, conceptually).


(World University and School is seeking funding to pay the BPPE licensing fees, for WASC senior accreditation, and to hire graduate students (such as Stanford and MIT graduate students to teach 'sections' online to MIT OCW faculty in video, conceptually), much like the amount of money WUaS applied and budgeted for in the WUaS National Science Foundation application in 2018, which $250,000 WUaS had understood we  had received this spring, had then gotten a DUNS number as part of the next funding step, but then learned that WUaS did not receive the NSF award).
