Single Cryptocurrency backed by India's central bank and for West Bengal as well, - brainstorming-wise? Could India and West Bengal be a field site for this and Universal Basic Income experiments? 

 Interesting MIT Media Lab panel online today re Moonshots, and which next trip to the moon I hope could become the become the impetus for the serious beginnings of a single realistic virtual universe. Blogged about both these events today here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/north-sentinel-island-india-with-regard.html .

Hi Pin (who now goes by Sid - aka Sid Mazumdar),

Nice to talk with you yesterday evening, and greetings from Cuttyhunk Island, MA, 02713 (where I've been visiting I think every summer since 1966!:). Here again is the Cuttyhunk Ferry schedule - https://www.cuttyhunkferryco.com/schedule.html - possibly for next year, 2020 ... :)

And here below is the Tweet from Neha Narula - do you know Neha in the Boston area, by any chance, Marti? - which I mentioned. She's the Director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative. This interview is an interesting update on what they're focusing on currently.

This dropped while I was on vacation - I think it's a pretty good summary of how I'm thinking about things at
@mitDCI  (summary: ruminating on the ways everything can go wrong in true paranoid fashion)
Thanks for having me on @PeterMcCormack !

And re a Digital Single Market idea (and potentially the EuroZone of 19 out of 28 nation states), here's a Re-Tweet from Stanford Law & CS Professor Barbara van Schewick, and expert in Network Neutrality ...

In World University and School's Minutes from July 20, 2019, in Minute 11, I explore the idea further of a SINGLE cryptocurrency, backed by some number of central banks out of ~200 countries, plus with regard to UNIVERSAL Basic Income EXPERIMENTS for 7.5 billion people. This altogether would complicate the idea of a single digital currency re a Digital Single Market (say emerging out of the EuroZone, or India's 36 states - India is a federal union comprising 29 states and 7 union territories, for a total of 36 entities - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_union_territories_of_India - or post US Dollar, a de facto international currency).

Talk with you again, soonish, Pin!

Hi Pin, Marti, and All,

India actually has 36 states/territories I just learned, according to Wikipedia  - "India is a federal union comprising 29 states and 7 union territories, for a total of 36 entities" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_union_territories_of_India ...

Blogged a little about all this here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/north-sentinel-island-india-with-regard.html?m=0 ...

Marti and Pin, it seems like West Bengal, Bangladesh and India could be a great field site for a single cryptocurrency backed by one central bank ...

... with Universal Basic Income experiments. What would MIT Digital Currency Initiative Director Neha Narula think of this?

Warm regards,
Scotty

& http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/north-sentinel-island-india-with-regard.html?m=0  -
about a large 'field site' to test a single #cryptocurrency backed by 1-2 central banks in Bangladesh & India with #UBI experiments? (@mazumdarp, Sid & Harvard MD Prof Marti)
