Seoul City will also apply blockchain technology to its administrative operations, using its own currency as a means of payment.
Seoul, South Korea is planning to launch its own encoding currency, S-Coin. According to the report, S-Coin will be used for government-funded social welfare activities.

Mayor Park Won-soon announced the plan in an interview with CoinDesk Korea last week. Mr Park also said the city would set up a fund for blockchain technology development and blockchain-related startups.

Park said, "Seoul is one of the world's leading cities for information and communication. In this fourth technological revolution, I think we should study new technologies like blockchain. "

Just as Estonia is adopting a blockchain in its administrative activities in the government, Park said that Seoul could also apply blockchain technology to its administration. For example, public transport in the city, or subsidized youth.

In addition, Park believes that S-Coin can be used as a payment method for city-sponsored welfare programs. For example, health care programs for people, or help students find a job.

Seoul was the first city in South Korea to introduce a roadmap for the development and application of blockchain technology. In November 2017, the city government contacted Samsung to plan a strategy for platform-based innovation.

First of all, this is a reprinted article. Don't overdo it by asking people to give you merit, which may be offensive.
Try to post some high-quality posts, and the chances of getting merit are higher.

That is, it will be a fully centralized coin. However, on the other hand, if in conventional ICO campaigns their tokens serve the interests of this campaign, then why not create tokens that can serve the interests of a large city, such as Seoul. I consider this to be normal. We need to conduct more different experiments in order to maximize the use of the crypto currency for human needs. Only in this way can the crypto currency be diversified and for a long time to enter our life.

In my opinion a larger advance of the South Korean government is to seek to decentralize this currency, showing that the digital world and the crypto world tend to be distributed rather than centralized in a small group. Anyway, it's great news and we can agree that it benefits the name and the concept of Bitcoin.

I think so, initially the state of venezuela sold ico and guaranteed by their reserves of oil. It is now Korea, and there is information that the United States will collect taxes on crypto operations, proving the crypto has been recognized and is about to spread.

Venezuela launched their coin first , Russia is in discussion about their own cryptocurrency ,and now Seoul launching their city-coin . Probably it's not a bad idea , but I don't like the fact that it will be a fully centralized , while cryptocurrencies was created to bring decentralization and freedom to everyone .

lol, I can't see where he mentioned the term "merit", and it's also not a reprinted article, he mentioned that he got the info from coindesk, if I were the OP I would add a link to the article, but besides that he didn't do nothing wrong.

This seoul coin is not a decentralized coin and is just a centralized coin that is using the blockchain to mantanain the network,it's nothing related to bitcoin and it doesn't show any recognition of South korea to Bitcoin.

Check this link. This could be what you're looking for.

I think this is one of the breakthrough for cryptocurrency in Korea, knowing its negative stance before when bitcoin was at the heights of euphoric price. Korea is one of the countries that has pronounce its resistance against cryptocurrency. Having them to embrace cryptocurrency is a plus for bitcoin as well. We'll see how this will go.

As I see it, it would be a local currency, many cities have one. For example, in Liverpool they have Colu that is a local digital currency.

But I recently read that the Korean government banned banks from doing any operations with crypto-currencies. This is very bad news...

I think this is a good one for the entire Cryptos' world. This actually a boost that will help us in the current mess we have found ourselves; by this I mean market dip. I must say we need something like this at a time like this.
