       changing face of money and shows how blockchain technology
       powers new forms of value exchange and social

       and blockchain developers and users, investment 
       opportunities and risks, changes to politics and law, 
       social and industrial applications, and what this all 
       means for the new economy.  Cryptocurrencies and 
       Blockchains dispenses with hype and offers sober 
       reflection on this crucial and timely topic. It is 
       essential reading for students and scholars of culture, 
       politics, media, and the economy, as well as anyone who 
       wants to understand, take part in, or change the future of
