Nicobar pigeon: Am curious how Neha Narula and the MIT Digital Currency Initiative are thinking about and planning for testing and trying a single, potentially worldwide, digital currency with blockchain, backed by 1 or a few central banks, perhaps with Universal Basic Income experiments, in the 'field' - e.g. with paper money and coins, on smart phones and on bank cards. How would this play out in Bangladesh, Marti where you work medically (with Harvard Medicine), and where UBI experiments could be very very welcome, helpful and much needed, I wonder? ... and with regards to a realistic virtual earth too ... and potentially in California, with UBI experiments possibly at Harbin in a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs as well, building on the Stockton, California, Basic Income experiment with the state of California

Hi Pin (Sid), Maitreyi and All, 

Just back in Canyon, California 94516, after leaving Cuttyhunk island, MA 02713, yesterday. And I just added this last email I sent ...


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
