Freiheit, die in Ketten liegt. Zur Philosophie der Blockchain

Author(s): Münker, Stefan

Abstract

The decentralized technology of blockchains promises its users more freedom and autonomy as well as more security and transparency through its specific network architecture. In recent years, blockchains have thus become a projection screen for democratic and egalitarian utopias. The contribution is a media- philosophical analysis of the Blockchain idea and its practical implementation and aims at a critical examination of the promises and expectations associated with Blockchains.
