Abstract

Decentralized, open blockchain technologies manage transactions of data on a protocological level. Cryptographic methods can be used to identify data transactions. This happens—if no software update takes place—without external intervention. Blockchains are therefore presented as sovereign media technologies. They govern themselves. This puts them on a collision course with traditional sovereignties that are allowed to decide what is the case. The emergence of a generic digital form of sovereignty can therefore be observed. Their consensus on the state of their government will be analyzed.
