But what if it held a more radical potential that was waiting to be unlocked?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy moving past simply equating the blockchain with cryptocurrency and instead trying to understand what these tools do and how they work, \u003ci\u003eBlockchain Radicals\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the blockchain can be used by a left that is in need of new ideas in its struggle to create a better world for all. Steering between boosters on the right and cynics on the left, it shows us how the blockchain is a space where new post-capitalist strategies and collectives are already emerging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuestioning all the assumptions we have about currencies, markets, information, politics, and its limitations, the blockchain allows us to begin moving past the question of why the future has seemed to be standing still for so long.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp class=\"author_summary\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJoshua Dávila\u003c\/b\u003e has been working in the blockchain space for the past five years in Europe and has been anonymously moonlighting as the one behind \u003ci\u003eThe Blockchain Socialis\u003c\/i\u003et blog and podcast.
