The Politics of Bitcoin
Software as Right-Wing Extremism (Forerunners)
David Golumbia
This digital publication, part of the Forerunners: Ideas First series, delves into the political ideologies behind the promotion and use of Bitcoin and blockchain technologies. The Politics of Bitcoin exposes the surprising extent to which far-right political thought influences the cyberlibertarianism supporters of Bitcoin embrace. The book offers insight into the economic and political ideas that fuel the cryptocurrency movement, drawing on the work of scholars and thinkers ranging from Milton Friedman to Federal Reserve conspiracy theorists.
