Theory and Reality of Cryptocurrency Governance

Abstract: I analyze cryptocurrency ecosystems with Elinor Ostrom's meta-framework for self-governance. I conclude that Bitcoin falls short in its self-governing ambitions, while cryptocurrency software protocols and blockchain technologies have potentialities within "permissioned" peer-to-peer private or hybrid networks. However, regulation and supervision by trusted third parties are required.

“…Це дослідження вписується в літературу про вплив нових технологій, зокрема блокчейн, на соціум та електрону комерцію. Наприклад, фундаментальний вплив на суспільство і економіку технології блокчейн та можливості управляння криптовалютою досліджено Spithoven (2019). Polasik, Piotrowska, Wisniewski, Kotkowski, та Lightfoot (2015) підкреслили важливість біткойнів для електронної комерції і стверджували, що біткойн може зіграти значну роль.…”

“…The first approach places emphasis on the potential of virtual assets for financial innovation (Burniske and Tatar, 2017;Chiu, 2017); the second stresses the risks associated with the misuse of virtual assets and their potential to serve as a powerful tool for criminals and terrorist financiers to conceal and move illicit funds (Mikhaylov and Frank, 2018;Copeland et al, 2019;Whyte, 2019); a third group of observers view virtual assets as a passing fad or bubble [3]. There is, however, a consensus that the scale of the risks and the relatively small size of the market for crypto-assets would not justify a policy of cracking down on digital currencies (Financial Stability Board, 2018;Stokes, 2012); instead, vigilant monitoring and assessment of the emerging risks by global regulators, such as FATF, is necessary to prevent criminals taking advantage of the anonymity attached to private/public keys of crypto-assets (Spithoven, 2019;Edwards et al, 2019).…”

“…Theoretical background. Cryptocurrency ecosystems may include: the initiators, the codebase, programmers, miners, middlemen, customers, the media, and governments [5] (see Figure 1). The sales pitch of cryptocurrency organizations is that "money supply should not be used as an instrument of monetary policy as inflation destroys value and encourages unsustainable consumption" [6].…”
