International Monetary Fund and World Bank are allies in the name of blockchain

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have launched a private blockchain and a tool similar to a cryptocurrency called “Learning Coin” to promote the knowledge of financial technology. Robin Wigglesworth (Financial Times) explains that the application acts as a “hub for knowledge” helping host their content like blogs, research, videos and presentations. The achievement of certain educational goals will allow the staff of the World Bank and the IMF to “earn” learning currencies that have no real value, but that will be redeemable in the future.
