“…Cryptocurrencies have presented a disruptive change for both economics and computer science. Over the past years, interest in cryptocurrencies resulted in a huge amount of money invested in them (Baur et al, 2018;Begušić et al, 2018) and a growing amount of research carried out on diverse application possibilities of the underlying technologies, e.g., blockchain and decentralized trust (Bonneau et al, 2015;Yli-Huumo et al, 2016;Zheng et al, 2016;Seres et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021). At the same time, cryptocurrencies provide a unique opportunity as financial systems where the whole list of transactions is exposed, making possible to study the dynamic interactions taking place in them (Kondor et al, 2014a;Phetsouvanh et al, 2019;Oggier et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2020); this allows the study of the complete history of how novel, alternative financial systems evolve from their inception (Seebacher and Maleshkova, 2018;Dixon et al, 2019).…”
