货币权威：比特币的案例
Algorithmic Authority: The Case of Bitcoin
摘要：
在本文中，我提出了一个理解算法在日常生活中的作用的新概念：算法权威。算法权威是算法指导人类行为并影响哪些信息被认为是真实的合法权力。我用这个概念来研究比特币用户的文化，比特币是一种加密货币和支付平台。通过比特币，我探索了信任算法权威意味着什么。我对比特币社区的研究利用了采访和调查数据。我发现比特币用户更喜欢算法权威，而不是他们认为不值得信任的传统机构的权威。然而，我认为比特币用户并不盲目相信算法;相反，他们承认需要用人类的判断来调解算法的权威。我研究了比特币社区成员之间的紧张关系，他们更愿意将比特币与现有机构整合，而那些更愿意抵制整合的人。
英文摘要：
In this paper, I propose a new concept for understanding the role of algorithms in daily life: algorithmic authority. Algorithmic authority is the legitimate power of algorithms to direct human action and to impact which information is considered true. I use this concept to examine the culture of users of Bitcoin, a crypto-currency and payment platform. Through Bitcoin, I explore what it means to trust in algorithmic authority. My study of the Bitcoin community utilizes interview and survey data. I found that Bitcoin users prefer algorithmic authority to the authority of conventional institutions which they see as untrustworthy. However, I argue that Bitcoin users do not have blind faith in algorithms; rather, they acknowledge the need for mediating algorithmic authority with human judgment. I examine the tension between members of the Bitcoin community who would prefer to integrate Bitcoin with existing institutions and those who would prefer to resist integration.
