The philosophy of bitcoin

The work addresses the impact of bitcoin at a theoretical-historical level, focusing on what this currency is, what money is and why bitcoin has specific qualities that represent a revolution in this field. In addition, it exposes and delves into the analysis of the crisis of two ideas: that of currency linked to the validation of political authority and that of the State, focusing, among other aspects, on the redefinition of property rights.
