Knowledge.io to Launch Blockchain-based Platform Rewarding Shared Knowledge
Global economies have come to recognize the importance of the “knowledge-based economy” that emphasizes the production, distribution and use of knowledge.
Still reeling from the effects of the last global financial crisis, many national economies, such as that of the UK, have diverted investments from tangible to intangible assets, of which knowledge-based sectors are part.
Some major platforms for knowledge acquisition focus on the workforce, such as LinkedIn, connecting employers and knowledge workers, allowing users to market themselves within industry networks.
Others, such as Quora, facilitate knowledge sharing through open networks of community-identified experts, rated and moderated within the networks. These emerging industries are seeing significant income, largely in part to advertising revenues.
LinkedIn recently reported revenues close to $1 billion in Q3 2016, with 25% of that coming from advertising. Quora, valued at $1.8 billion, also started ad monetization in 2016.
