Community in a Crowd

Bitcoin and the Quest for Liberty in Tel Aviv

Beschreibung

Based on ethnographic research in Tel Aviv, this book examines how Bitcoin enthusiasts use everyday practices to challenge centralised authority, revealing how decentralised technologies foster both sprawling online crowds and close-knit, libertarian communities rooted in techno-utopian ideals.
