How can digital cash truly be “trustless”? What does it mean that blockchain offers a new paradigm of the “rule of code”? How are decisions made when a blockchain system faces an emergency, and who gets to make those decisions?
I spoke to Wessel Reijers and Morshed Mannan, both great thinkers and recent authors of the book Blockchain Governance (by Primavera De Filippi, Wessel Reijers and Morshed Mannan).
We discussed the history of the legal and philosophical implications that blockchains have brought with them. From the Tornado Cash ruling, North Korean mega hacks, and rethinking of property relations, there was a whole lot to talk about.
