Дигиталните дрехи на блокчейн технологиите

Abstract

If we lived in mythological times and had to tell about the World Wide Web (Internet in other words), it is very likely that we would recreate the plot of the myth of Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus and the jar the lid of which she was not supposed to open. The gifts of the Internet are among us, some of them such as blockchain technology are solutions, others such as digital clothing are challenges. The desire and ability to circumvent institutions such as banks and the state correspond to the utopia of moral governance. This opportunity provided by blockchain technologies is a kind of revolt and a solution to the problems caused by corruption, social and economic inequality. Their development is in an experimental phase and we do not know whether it will end successfully however what will happen or not will have a serious impact on the world as we know it today. On the other hand, what will happen to digital clothing is not a question that has more value than to satisfy curiosity. Digital clothes are surprising, they fit into the logic of the virtual world, in which abstractions have a material value. Their appearance and development show the other side of the solutions that the binary code gives. Decisions without which we can certainly live but we make because we are driven by the desire to have a certain social role.
