The Techno-Economic Content of Your Crypto Wallet

Abstract

"This paper considers some technical details around the control and use of crypto currency assets and how these reflect the ordinary understanding of ownership. It provides a non-technical summary of notions in cryptology that are required for the analysis as well as a brief review of the distributed ledger concept. Finally, it reflects on how the ownership concept with respect to supposed property that is loosely called a crypto wallet could be seen in the light of Ostrom's scholarship."
