The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism
D. Golumbia. Forerunners: Ideas First University of Minnesota Press, Chicago, (2016)
Abstract
Since its introduction in 2009, Bitcoin has been widely promoted as a digital currency that will revolutionize everything from online commerce to the nation-state. Yet supporters of Bitcoin and its blockchain technology subscribe to a form of cyberlibertarianism that depends to a surprising extent on far-right political thought.
