Blockchain is no longer just about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in
general. Instead, it can be seen as a disruptive, revolutionary
technology which will have major impacts on multiple aspects of our
lives. The revolutionary power of such technology compares with the
revolution sparked by the World Wide Web and the Internet in
general. Just as the Internet is a means of sharing information, so
blockchain technologies can be seen as a way to introduce the next
level: sharing value. Blockchain and Web 3.0 fills the gap in our
understanding of blockchain technologies by hosting a discussion of
the new technologies in a variety of disciplinary settings. Indeed,
this volume explains how such technologies are disruptive and
comparatively examines the social, economic, technological and
legal consequences of these disruptions. Such a comparative
perspective has previously been underemphasized in the debate about
blockchain, which has subsequently led to weaknesses in our
understanding of decentralized technologies. Underlining the risks
and opportunities offered by the advent of blockchain technologies
and the rise of Web 3.0, Blockchain and Web 3.0 will appeal to
researchers and academics interested in fields such as sociology
and social policy, cyberculture, new media and privacy and data
protection.
