Abstract:
Subscribing to a techno-utopian discourse replacing institutions and experts with “trust in code,” digital alternative currency Bitcoin is pitched as a “math-based money” governed by incorruptible code rather than human regulators. In three cases, which occurred between 2013 and 2015, we examine this system at moments of breakdown. In contrast to the discourse, we find that power is concentrated to critical sites and individuals who manage the system through ad hoc negotiations, and who users must therefore implicitly trust—a contrast we call Bitcoin’s “promissory gap.” But even in the face of such contradictions between premise and reality, the discourse is maintained. We identify four authorizing strategies used in this work: conflating people with devices, assuming actors conform to notions of economic rationality, appealing to technical expertise, and explaining contradictions as temporary bugs. We contend that these strategies are mobilized widely to legitimize a variety of applications of algorithmic regulation and peer production projects.

Abstract:
Bitcoin is the first implementation of a technology that has become known as a ‘public permissionless’ blockchain. Such systems allow public read/write access to an append-only blockchain database without the need for any mediating central authority. Instead, they guarantee access, security and protocol conformity through an elegant combination of cryptographic assurances and game theoretic economic incentives. Not until the advent of the Bitcoin blockchain has such a trusted, transparent, comprehensive and granular dataset of digital economic behaviours been available for public network analysis. In this article, by translating the cumbersome binary data structure of the Bitcoin blockchain into a high fidelity graph model, we demonstrate through various analyses the often overlooked social and econometric benefits of employing such a novel open data architecture. Specifically, we show: (i) how repeated patterns of transaction behaviours can be revealed to link user activity across the blockchain; (ii) how newly mined bitcoin can be associated to demonstrate individual accumulations of wealth; (iii) through application of the naïve quantity theory of money that Bitcoin's disinflationary properties can be revealed and measured; and (iv) how the user community can develop coordinated defences against repeated denial of service attacks on the network. Such public analyses of this open data are exemplary benefits unavailable to the closed data models of the ‘private permissioned’ distributed ledger architectures currently dominating enterprise-level blockchain development owing to existing issues of scalability, confidentiality and governance.

Abstract:
AbstractBy declaring an item legal tender or making it publicly receivable, governments might generate sufficient demand to determine the medium of exchange. How do private actors launch a new money? There are two views in the literature. The first requires offering an item with a use value to some agents that is distinct from its role as a medium of exchange. The second suggests that agents might coordinate on an intrinsically useless item. With these views in mind, I survey the logs from the original bitcoin forum, bitcoin-list. I find that early participants in the bitcoin community understood the importance of coordination and took steps to coordinate users.

Abstract:
In Bitcoin, if a miner is able to solve a computationally hard problem called proof of work, it will receive an amount of bitcoin as a reward which is the sum of the fees for the transactions included in a block plus an amount inversely proportional to the number of blocks discovered so far. At the moment of writing, the block reward is several orders of magnitude greater than the sum of transaction fees. Usually, miners try to collect the largest reward by including transactions associated with high fees. The main purpose of transaction fees is to prevent network spamming. However, they are also used to prioritize transactions. In order to use the minimum amount of fees, users usually have to find a compromise between fees and urgency of a transaction. In this paper, we develop a probabilistic logic model to experimentally analyze how fees affect confirmation time and miner’s revenue and to predict if an increase of average fees will generate a situation when the miner gets more reward by not following the protocol.

Abstract:
One decade ago, Bitcoin was introduced, becoming the first cryptocurrency and establishing the concept of “blockchain” as a distributed ledger. As of today, there are many different implementations of cryptocurrencies working over a blockchain, with different approaches and philosophies. However, many of them share one common feature: they require proof-of-work to support the generation of blocks (mining) and, eventually, the generation of money. This proof-of-work scheme often consists in the resolution of a cryptography problem, most commonly breaking a hash value, which can only be achieved through brute-force. The main drawback of proof-of-work is that it requires ridiculously large amounts of energy which do not have any useful outcome beyond supporting the currency. In this paper, we present a theoretical proposal that introduces a proof-of-useful-work scheme to support a cryptocurrency running over a blockchain, which we named Coin.AI. In this system, the mining scheme requires training deep learning models, and a block is only mined when the performance of such model exceeds a threshold. The distributed system allows for nodes to verify the models delivered by miners in an easy way (certainly much more efficiently than the mining process itself), determining when a block is to be generated. Additionally, this paper presents a proof-of-storage scheme for rewarding users that provide storage for the deep learning models, as well as a theoretical dissertation on how the mechanics of the system could be articulated with the ultimate goal of democratizing access to artificial intelligence.

Abstract:
The trading volume of Bitcoin has increased immensely since its conception. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, it is not a legal currency but rather a private monetary system that manages by itself and does not depend on governments or central banks. It is an autonomous currency system that is not liable to any governing body. Some fear that the increase of Bitcoin usage, as it is quite different from traditional currencies and is free from control or regulations by monetary authorities. Although its popularity has grown worldwide, fluctuations of the prices are sometimes erratic. Hence, such large and sudden movements would dampen the sound development of Bitcoin. This paper examines how the volatile price of Bitcoin changes empirically. The empirical results show that there is a difference between short-term volatility and long-term volatility. Traders should see not only the short-term movements in volatile Bitcoin pricing but also long-term developments.

Abstract:
Since the formation of Bitcoin in 2009, various private digital currencies have been presented. Bitcoin is by a long shot the best one. It has been getting a great deal of media consideration, and its all out market worth has arrived at 20 billions USD in March 2017. More importantly, a number of central banks started recently to explore the adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies for retail and large-value payments. Bitcoin is a digital currency based on a peer-topeer payment system managed by an open source software and characterized by lower transaction costs, greater security and scalability than fiat money and no need of a central bank. In spite of criticisms about illegal uses and social consequences, it is attracting the interest of the scientific as well as economic community. Be that as it may, notwithstanding Bitcoin’s worth, the paper clarified, physical stores have been delayed to acknowledge it as a technique for installment. Subsequently, a few lookers are getting to be critical about whether this tech-trendy person digital money, which everybody has known about however the vast majority don’t genuinely comprehend, will ever supplant conventional cash. Only one exchange can use as much vitality as a whole family unit does in seven days, and there are around 300,000 exchanges each day. That vitality request is usually met through petroleum product vitality sources, which, alongside contaminating air and water, radiate ozone harming substances that reason environmental change. At the end of the day, Bitcoins are adding to the warming of the climate without giving a noteworthy open advantage consequently. Some Bitcoin lovers guarantee that it will in the long run become a standard money, and that the cryptogovernance framework whereupon it’s manufactured could really support the earth. In any case, the Bitcoin market is unstable, its future dinky. Off-the-rack PCs used to be incredible enough to mine Bitcoins. Presently, on the grounds that the math issues are so perplexing, they should utilize particular equipment called Application Specific Integrated Circuit, or ASIC. These mining machines are huge and run hot, and the individuals who use them—either Bitcoin mining organizations or Bitcoin devotees cooperating—utilize a great deal of power to do as such. Organizations and associations that mine bitcoin will once in a while have a huge number of these machines pressed into far reaching distribution centers. Hence, the present study is an attempt to define and evaluate the current trends of the literature concerned with the sustainability of bitcoin, considering the environmental impacts and economic aspects. The study is divided into four parts – first part explains the concept of bitcoin in detail with its history. The second part of the study details the statement of the problem. The third part deals with results and discussions and the last is the concluding part. In the results and discussion part, the data dealing with trends in the value of bitcoin in USD and in Indian markets are exhibited. The main exchanges dealing with bitcoin in India are then given and the number of bitcoins available and their market capitalisation worldwide is shown.
 From the analysis, it is very clear that the value of bitcoin has tremendously increased over the period of time. One of the main allegations against the bitcoin trading is its fluctuating volatility depicted. It’s because of this issue, that bitcoins are considered to be very dangerous commodity to be traded. Also, form the point of sustainability, it emerges that the transition of the whole monetary system in the new cryptocurrency will result in an unacceptable amount of energy consumed to mine new bitcoins and to maintain the entire virtual monetary system, and probably bitcoin will remain a niche currency.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine if Bitcoin transactions could be de-anonymised by analysing the Bitcoin blockchain and transactions conducted through the blockchain. In addition, graph analysis and the use of modern social media technology were examined to determine how they may help reveal the identity of Bitcoin users. A review of machine learning techniques and heuristics was carried out to learn how certain behaviours from the Bitcoin network could be augmented with social media technology and other data to identify illicit transactions. Design/methodology/approach A number of experiments were conducted and time was spend observing the network to ascertain how Bitcoin transactions work, how the Bitcoin protocol operates over the network and what Bitcoin artefacts can be examined from a digital forensics perspective. Packet sniffing software, Wireshark, was used to see whether the identity of a user is revealed when they set up a wallet via an online wallet service. In addition, a block parser was used to analyse the Bitcoin client synchronisation and reveal information on the behaviour of a Bitcoin node when it joins the network and synchronises to the latest blockchain. The final experiment involved setting up and witnessing a transaction using the Bitcoin Client API. These experiments and observations were then used to design a proof of concept and functional software architecture for searching, indexing and analyzing publicly available data flowing from the blockchain and other big data sources. Findings Using heuristics and graph analysis techniques show us that it is possible to build up a picture of behaviour of Bitcoin addresses and transactions, then utilise existing typologies of illicit behaviour to collect, process and exploit potential red flag indicators. Augmenting Bitcoin data, big data and social media may be used to reveal potentially illicit financial transaction going through the Bitcoin blockchain and machine learning applied to the data sets to rank and cluster suspicious transactions. Originality/value The development of a functional software architecture that, in theory, could be used to detect suspicious illicit transactions on the Bitcoin network.

Abstract:
Blockchain technology emerged in 2009 together with the introduction of Bitcoin, the first virtual currency which enabled nodes in a network, that do not necessarily trust each other, to exchange digital value without the use of trusted intermediaries. Since then, the idea of disintermediation and decentralization has gained traction in a large number of applications outside the world of finance and virtual currencies. This thesis is written in collaboration with Scania, an automotive industry manufacturer, with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of blockchain technology and how it can be used in the transportation industry. This thesis proposes five potential blockchain use cases that aim to either enhance Scania’s existing services or to create new services. Out of these five use cases, one is deemed inappropriate in regards to the use of blockchain technology while the other four have potentials benefits. The common denominator among these use cases is that they are decentralized in nature meaning that the use of intermediaries is mitigated. It is recognized that all use cases could be implemented using traditional, centralized databases and that the use of blockchain boils down to a technology choice with its own trade-offs relative to other potential choices. This thesis concludes that blockchain technology offers a new kind of database architecture, the main benefit of which is that it lets several non-trusting entities agree on a common set of facts, without having a trusted intermediary establishing these facts.

Abstract:
The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (“MPRDA”) and the Broad-Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining and Minerals Industry (“Mining Charter”), created in terms of the MPRDA, aim to address the exploitative legacies of past discriminatory practices in the mining industry. Impoverished mining communities stand to benefit from empowerment under the Mining Charter in the form of mine community development – one of the elements that constitute a mining right holder's commitment under the Mining Charter. Despite this legislative intervention and the relative wealth generated by the extraction of mineral resources, poverty and conflict have become the stereotypical images associated with mining areas. This project aims to determine why the empowerment of mining communities through mine community development perpetuates poverty from the past and creates new inequalities. To answer this main question, it is considered how the historical context within which the relevant policy and legislation were created, affected legislative drafting. Second, the effects of promoting development and empowerment in legislative provisions are explored to determine which worldviews and underlying values are being promoted by the legislative instruments under discussion. Furthermore, it is considered how these worldviews and underlying values affect how mining communities, subjected to harsh socio-economic living conditions, are depicted in legislative provisions. Here, it is specifically considered what the notion of “community” signifies in a development context and how “community” is represented in legislation. The thesis is a theoretical exposition of the ideological assumptions underlying the concepts “development”, “empowerment”, “community” and “poverty”. It is shown that “mine community development” is an inherently contradictory notion in South African law. The development paradigm implies the universalisation of values, effectively creating “the poor”, and causing vagueness and paradoxes. It results not only in a perpetuation of poverty and inequality from the past but also in the creation of new inequalities, as is evident in the differentiation drawn by the Mining Charter between different types of communities in mining areas. Measures currently being enforced by the legislation under discussion, are in desperate need of reconsideration.

"Geometallurgical approach to understand how the variability in mineralogy at Zinkgruvan orebodies affects the need for copper activation in the bulk rougher-scavenger flotation."

Abstract:
Zinkgruvan is a Pb-Zn-Ag deposit located in south-central Sweden, owned and operated by Lundin Mining. The ore is beneficiated by a collective-selective flotation circuit, recovering both galena and sphalerite in a bulk rougher-scavenger flotation stage and later on separating them into two final products. Opportunities for increase in zinc recovery in the bulk rougher scavenger flotation stage have been identified as the plant is relying on natural Pb-activation to process the ore. Process mineralogical tools were used to characterize four different orebodies from Zinkgruvan (Burkland, Borta Bakom, Nygruvan and Sävsjön) and evaluate the metallurgical performance for flotation and magnetic separation, following a geometallurgical approach to better understand and predict the behavior of such ore types in processing plant. The first hypothesis in this thesis is that by addition of copper sulfate and increased collector dosage, Zn recovery will be improved without being detrimental to galena flotation. Results demonstrated that there is a significant increase in Zn recovery by further increasing collector dosage and copper-activating the flotation pulp in the scavenger stage. For instance, an increase in zinc recovery up to 16% has been achieved after addition of copper sulfate. Galena is readily floatable while sphalerite takes longer to be recovered. In addition, iron sulfides take longer to be recovered and, after addition of copper sulfate, there was an increase in iron sulfide recovery. The amount of iron sulfides reporting to the concentrate should still not be a problem to the plant. Most of the Fe in the concentrate is still coming from the sphalerite lattice. However, it might be that some orebodies coming into production in the near future have higher amounts of pyrrhotite, which might be a problem. Therefore, magnetic separation methods have been tested to remove pyrrhotite from the bulk ore. The second hypothesis is that the high Fe content in the concentrate might be due to the presence of iron sulfides, in which case they could be selectively removed by magnetic separation. XRD analyses demonstrated that Sävsjön is a highly variable orebody, and that its high Fe content varies with the location inside the orebody, being caused by either iron sulfide or iron oxide minerals. Both monoclinic and hexagonal pyrrhotite have been observed. Davis Tube could remove monoclinic pyrrhotite but it was very inefficient when dealing with hexagonal pyrrhotite. WHIMS, on the other hand, performed well for both types of pyrrhotite. When applying Davis Tube on Sävsjön OLD feed, a concentrate with up to 52.3% pyrrhotite is achieved, at a recovery of 35.32%. However, sphalerite is also reporting to the magnetic concentrate, which would generate Zn losses for the overall process. Zinc losses were up to 15.3% when the highest field strength was applied. Therefore, the applicability of magnetic separation for Zinkgruvan ore must be further evaluated.

Abstract:
Diariamente tomamos decisões complexas que requerem tempo e esforço que não podemos despender. Compreender como decidimos em ambientes ambíguos com recursos cognitivos limitados torna-se essencial para todos nós. Este trabalho surge da intersecção da Psicologia e Neurociência, analisando a tomada de decisão cooperativa. O objectivo é analisar como diferentes níveis de glicemia influenciam a cooperação depois de um evento crítico. Aqui, a crise é operacionalizada como uma crise de recursos num dilema social. Esta investigação torna-se a primeira a explorar a relação entre glucose e cooperação pós-crise. A nossa amostra consiste em 47 adultos voluntários de ambos os géneros, recrutados através do método de amostragem snowball. Usámos uma tarefa commons dilemma com duas condições de perigo de extinção de recurso (High vs Low Danger) e manipulámos os níveis de glicemia dos participantes administrando uma bebida rica em ou sem açúcar. Desta forma, a experiência consistiu num design factorial 2 Glucose (glucose vs placebo) x 2 Danger (High vs Low), inter-sujeitos. Os dados sugerem que participantes com níveis mais elevados de glucose sanguínea são mais cooperativos num contexto pós-crise (e não antes) e principalmente quando há maior perigo de extinção de recursos (condição High Danger). Estes resultados implicam que a glucose sanguínea influencia processos de tomada de decisão, replicando estudos anteriores; e que pode influenciar as decisões cooperativas em alguns contextos. Assim, sugerimos que níveis de glicemia mais baixos estão associados a uma redução dos recursos cognitivos o que promove um processamento cognitivo intuitivo, estimulando o uso de certas heurísticas sociais. Sugerimos que investigações futuras analisem quais as heurísticas sociais mais salientes em diferentes cenários pós-crise, sob diferentes níveis de glicemia. A combinação de métodos da Psicologia, Neurociência e Computação, integrando assim diferentes áreas da Ciência Cognitiva, permitirá continuar a expandir o nosso conhecimento sobre a tomada de decisão cooperativa.<br>Daily we face complex decisions that require time and effort that we do not possess. Understanding how we make decisions in uncertain environments with limited cognitive resources becomes essential to all of us. The present work arises from the intersection of Psychology and Neuroscience, focusing on cooperative decision-making. The goal is to examine how much we cooperate after a critical event, under different glycemic levels. Here, the crisis is operationalized as a crisis of resources in a social dilemma paradigm. This research becomes the first to explore the connection between glucose and post-crisis cooperation. Our sample comprises 47 volunteer adults from both genders, recruited through snowball sampling. We used a commons dilemma task, with two post-crisis conditions of resource depletion (High vs Low Danger) and manipulated participants’ blood glucose levels by administering either a sugar-rich or a no-sugar drink. Thus, the experiment consisted in a 2 Glucose (glucose vs. placebo) x 2 Danger (High vs. Low) factorial design, between subjects. Results suggest participants with higher blood glucose levels are more cooperative only in a post-crisis context (and not before) and mainly under greater danger of resource depletion (High Danger condition). Our findings do not imply a direct causal link between brain glucose and cooperation but instead that blood glucose levels influence decisionmaking processes, replicating previous studies; adding it can influence cooperative decisionmaking in some contexts. We propose lower blood glucose levels are associated with lower cognitive resources that, in turn, promote an intuitive processing type, boosting the use of certain social heuristics. We suggest that future research addresses which social heuristics are more salient in different post-crisis scenarios, under different glycemic levels. Combining methods from Psychology, Neuroscience and Computation, thus integrating different areas of Cognitive Science, could expand our understanding of cooperative decision-making.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to explore, problematize and critique the violence of norms—normative violence, especially gender norms and heteronormativity-- in contemporary political life. It focuses on the interaction and engagement between norms and the body, and demonstrates that normative violence manifests itself in a twofold way: norms not only regulate, normalize and manage bodies that are already intelligible into reified forms, but also through their exclusionary logic produce unintelligible bodies that are unlivable. Situated within contemporary feminist and queer movements, this thesis bridges between aporias and problems emergent from them and critical readings of Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. This thesis identifies and indicates normative violence and erasures inherited in the popular rhetoric of the movements and diverse theoretical accounts of the body. Finally, the argument is made that feminist and queer readings of Foucault and Merleau-Ponty provide possibilities for undoing normative violence by resignifying norms temporally and performatively via collective action.<br>Graduate<br>janicefe@uvic.ca

The Swedish central bank has in 2018 launched an investigation into what a digital e-currency in Sweden would look like. Tendermint is being investigated for a potential implementation. Tendermint is a blockchain building environment which has its own consensus-algorithm, and its own solution to the Byzantine general's problem. The most relevant part is the scalability and reliability of Tendermint. To do this we tested out the software by sending transactions between our computers, and recorded its performance in the case of one node and two nodes. After a series of simulations, we then come to the conclusion that indeed Tendermint is a suitable software for a potential e-krona.

Abstract:
Ever since the emergence of digital assets, bitcoin (BTC) and other crype to currencies created huge debates and discussions globally. Demand has transformed trading opportunitis in the digital era, and anew ecosystem has been created around cryptocurrencies. Not only the coins, but the underlying technology has found many applications worldwide as well, especially in the financial markets.However, since the market infrastructure is growing expeditiously,regulations have a hard time keeping up with the speed of innovation. Merging this complex and fast evolving area into the established traditional legal framework has already proved to be a difficult and lengthy process. Due to the absence of a global harmony in the regulatory frameworks, digital service providers can take advantage of the regulatory arbitrage. In order to maximize profitability, the decision on how to cope with the regulatory framework can be crucial for any service provider.The attitude towards regulation in this environment is just as fragmented as the legislations itself. Founder and CEO of bit Flyer, Yuzo Kano made an announcement at the opening of the European office of bitFlyer:”When I set up bit Flyer in 2014, I did so with global ambitions and the belief that approved regulatory status is fundamental to the long-term future of Bitcoin and the virtual currency industry. I am proud that we are now the most compliant virtual currency exchange in the world; this coveted regulatory status gives our customers, our company and the virtual currency industry as a whole a verypositive future outlook[1].”A completely different approach was expressed by the CEO of Binance,Chang peng Zhao:“If you do fiat to crypto [. . . ] you have to have a bank account that can accept money,” he says. “That has its own advantages and problems. You have to deal with regulatory issues and usually you’retied to one country.”The more you deal with fiat, the more[authorities] can control you,” says Zhao. “The bank will freeze your bank account. They can make the wire transfer slow”[44].The strategical decisions of digital currency exchanges can be de-rived from their view on regulation. This paper will examine some of the top exchanges with a regional footprint in the European Union(EU). Furthermore, the impact of regulation on crypto exchanges will be analysed, based on the exchanges’ strategy and different success factors. The diversity of jurisdictions covered by this paper provides also an overview how various governments have approached regulat-ing digital exchanges. Even though the cryptocurrency market out-side of Europe should not be underestimated, this paper focuses on the comparative analysis on digital exchanges operating within the EU. Including other exchanges would alter the conclusion since the quoted crypto-fiat pairs, users, and many other factors diverge from the European landscape.The expectation is to conclude that regulatory compliant digital exchanges are more successful on a long-term perspective.

Abstract:
School of Mining Engineering, Centre for Sustainability in Mining and Industry, University of the Witwatersran, 2018<br>The predicaments faced by humanity today differ from the past due to the increasing scale of human influence, complexities and uncertainties (Allen et al., 2010), which limit management options. Adaptive management is based on the philosophy that knowledge is incomplete i.e. there will always be uncertainty and unpredictability in the behaviour and dynamics of complex social-ecological systems. Given the complexity of the South African mining industry, this research aimed to explore the link between management and science by assessing the extent to which an adaptive management approach had been incorporated into short-term and long-term mitigation strategies for the discharge of acid mine water in the Witwatersrand Basin. The methodology included a review of the adopted mitigation strategy document, a literature review of adaptive management literature and an in-depth analysis of a case study using nine interviews, conducted with key informants and contributors from the government, an educational institution, industry (mines currently dealing with the issue), and civil society. An inductive and descriptive approach was followed to gather and analyse data to formulate answers to the research questions. The findings of the study indicated that the efforts that went into designing the short-term solutions were limited due to the lack of communicating amongst stakeholders and the failure to incorporate a value-based approach. Results also showed that complexities and uncertainties were not addressed to allow for adaptation to constant change. It was found that the short-term interventions had no managerial flexibility which limited learning. Insufficient monitoring and a lack of transparency regarding the dissemination of monitoring results were highlighted. Moreover, experimental efforts were limited due to lack of capacity and funding. In conclusion, although the long-term strategy incorporated some aspects of adaptive management, the short-term mitigation measures were reactive rather than proactive. It is recommended that on-going training and good communication are maintained amongst stakeholders. Recommendations for economic constraints include the sharing of costs through partnerships, evaluating trade-offs between costs and effectiveness and investigating cheaper measuring methods for monitoring. Risk-averse initiatives such as conducting risk assessments during pilot studies and accommodating for different project scales can be employed to mitigate against resources that are sensitive to change.<br>XL2019

Abstract:
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies surged in mainstream attention in recent years. That widespread interest causes crypto-based exchange platforms to be a prime target of hacker attacks where funds are stolen from investors. Following an event study methodology, we aim to establish a relationship between these exchange platform attacks and cryptocurrencies’ returns. We study several event windows across 4 different estimation periods and calculate abnormal returns based on two models (Mean and market Adjusted). We find significant negative mean CAR results for the [-2,3] event window across the 120- and 60-days estimation periods for the full sample. Moreover, we find significant negative impact, for some event windows, for Ethereum and Altcoin based attacks. However, we do not find statistically significant results for the Bitcoin sub-sample under both models. Nevertheless, we show significant results between abnormal returns and cryptocurrencies based on the same algorithm group of the currency stolen in that exchange attack. We reconfirm the significant opposite relationship between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two biggest currencies in the market, during these shock periods. We also find significative results between payment companies returns and crypto abnormal returns. This thesis is the first to draw conclusions between security breaches, cryptocurrency returns, and traditional assets.<br>Bitcoin e outras cripto moedas têm sido alvos de maior atenção pública. Esse interesse generalizado faz com que as plataformas de trading dedicadas a cripto moedas sejam alvos primordiais de ataque, em que os ativos são roubados por hackers. Seguindo a metodologia de estudo de eventos, pretendemos estabelecer uma relação entre os ataques a estas plataformas e os retornos destas cripto moedas afetadas pelos ataques. Aplicamos várias janelas de evento How Exchange Platform Attacks impact the cryptocurrency market vs traditional investments 3 com 4 períodos de estimação diferentes e calculamos os retornos anormais baseados em dois modelos (Média e Mercado ajustado). Encontramos resultados significativos para o CAR médio negativo na janela de evento [-2,3] dentro dos períodos de estimação de 120 e 60 dias tendo em conta toda a amostra de eventos. Para além disso, encontramos um impacto negativo, significativo estatisticamente, para algumas janelas de eventos nas amostras de ataques a Ethereum e Altcoins. No entanto, não chegamos a resultados significativos em ambos os modelos para a amostra de ataques a Bitcoin. Porém, encontramos resultados significativos entre os retornos anormais e cripto moedas do mesmo tipo de algoritmo que foram alvo de roubo nos ataques. Reconfirmamos a relação oposta dos retornos de Bitcoin e Ethereum, as duas maiores moedas no mercado, durante estes períodos de choque. Encontramos, também, uma relação significativa entre os retornos anormais e os retornos de empresas de pagamentos. Esta tese é o primeiro estudo a estabelecer conclusões entre estas violações de segurança, os retornos de cripto moedas, e ativos financeiros tradicionais.

Abstract:
AbstractA multidimensional financial system could provide benefits for individuals, companies, and states. Instead of top-down control, which is destined to eventually fail in a hyperconnected world, a bottom-up creation of value can unleash creative potential and drive innovations. Multiple currency dimensions can represent different externalities and thus enable the design of incentives and feedback mechanisms that foster the ability of complex dynamical systems to self-organize and lead to a more resilient society and sustainable economy. Modern information and communication technologies play a crucial role in this process, as Web 2.0 and online social networks promote cooperation and collaboration on unprecedented scales. Within this contribution, we discuss how one dimension of a multidimensional currency system could represent socio-digital capital (Social Bitcoins) that can be generated in a bottom-up way by individuals who perform search and navigation tasks in a future version of the digital world. The incentive to mine Social Bitcoins could sustain digital diversity, which mitigates the risk of totalitarian control by powerful monopolies of information and can create new business opportunities needed in times where a large fraction of current jobs is estimated to disappear due to computerization.

Abstract:
For the first time, a Chinese company—Huawei—is set to lead the global transition from one key national security infrastructure technology to the next. How did Washington, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, fail to protect U.S. firms in this strategic technology and allow a geopolitical competitor to take a leadership position in a national security relevant critical infrastructure such as telecommunications? This policy brief highlights the characteristics of 5G development that China leveraged, exploited, and supported to take the lead in this key technology. The Huawei case study is in some ways the canary in the coal mine for emerging technologies and an illustration of what can happen to U.S. competitiveness when China’s companies do not have to base decisions on market forces.
