In total, 14 participants attended a panel leading up to a closed-door session with IMF managing director Christine Lagarde, seven of whom represented companies in the blockchain industry.
Attendees included Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, Jill Carlson, head of market strategy at Chain, Chris Church, chief business development officer at Digital Asset, and Ryan Zagone, director of regulatory relations at Ripple, among others.
While the meeting itself wasn’t public, the panel was both streamed by the IMF and live-tweeted, marking what panelist Alex Tapscott, author of “Blockchain Revolution”, described to CoinDesk as a shift in the way global policy should be determined going forward.

Initially announced in March, the advisory group also consists of members from the blockchain industry including Chris Larsen, the executive chairman of Ripple, Adam Ludwin from Chain, Blythe Masters from Digital Asset, Patrick Murck from the Harvard Berkman Klein Center, and Marco Santori, partner at Cooley LLP.
Tapscott described the overall attitude of the meeting as “very positive”, estimating 80% of the conversation focused on blockchain, while 15% centered on machine learning and 5% covered other technologies.

The Peace Plus One – World Sustainability Project is interested in the opportunities afforded to young people in the new economy of Caring Currency. The currency of the 99%.
The concept of Caring Currency is to move from the selfish GREED IS GOOD model of the 1% to a more equitable, distributed wealth model based on the GOOD we individually do for Society, the Environment and the Economy.
bitcoin is one of the early contenders for alternative currency, and an excellent experiment in "alternative worlds" like the , where we ask visitors and new citizens to essentially stay where we are physically, and simply change our perspective to see the beauty and opportunity in the world.
The Be, Buy Boost bitcoin program is a complimentary program in the physical world… to develop the acceptance, adoption, infrastructure and economic ecosystem.. An Alternative Currencies development program to increase the adoption of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions.
The PPO-WSP believes this is a critical effort that must be ramped up immediately to avoid alternative currencies just becoming a speculative bubble like tulilps.
