Juan Guse, Aaron Sahr: Krypto-Geld

In the organizer's words:

Boy, is it complicated: Creating money out of nothing, increasing the money supply, bloated national budgets. And then inflation or what? A crisp disruption is needed, with crypto. Then this sick model of states with politicians, bankers and brokers will be over. Away with all the middlemen, they're all cashing in. Market access for everyone, decentralize the financial system from the ground up! That is roughly the angry basis on which the Bitcoin dreamers want to build their new and much freer world. Juan Guse describes four of them, all men, in A thousand times as much money as now. And it's true: they really did get rich in the crypto world. However, this is viewed critically by their opponents. Aaron Sahr is one of them. The sociologist of science is currently writing his book Fake Coins and, as editor of the bpb publication Geldpolitik im Umbruch, he talks about "snowball operations to generate revenue". So, what then? Asks Salon host Jens Meyer-Kovac.
