摘要

尽管关于金融创新作为金融体系变革力量的文献有所增加，但大多数贡献未能分析加密货币的社会制度和技术设计之间的关系。本文旨在通过提供最具代表性的虚拟货币和加密货币比特币的案例研究来填补这一空白。我们首先将金融创新的概念视为嵌入用户、技术人员、法规、机构、文化和历史网络中的一种社会现象。其次，我们研究了比特币的颠覆性和进化性，并将其与法定货币的特征进行了比较。主要结论表明，尽管比特币在通过点对点网络创造货币的过程中代表了一种颠覆性技术，但在制度层面上，它并不是一种新的货币概念。

Technological and socio- institutional dimensions of cryptocurrencies. An incremental or disruptive innovation?

ABSTRACT Despite the increase in literature on financial innovation as a force of change in the financial system, most contributions fail to analyze the relationship between the socio-institutional and technological design of cryptocurrencies. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a case study of Bitcoin, the most representative of the virtual and cryptocurrencies. We begin by addressing the concept of financial innovation as a social phenomenon embedded in networks of users, technologists, regulations, institutions, culture and history. Secondly, we examine the disruptive and evolutionary nature of the Bitcoin, comparing it with the characteristics of legal tender money. The main conclusions indicate that although Bitcoin represents a disruptive technology in the process of monetary creation through a peer-to-peer network, it is not a new conception of money in its institutional dimension.

期刊介绍： International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
