 Zelenková, Zuzana ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Kuřík, Bohuslav (referee)
The subject of the thesis is the parallel digital economy created around the monetary innovation called Bitcoin and the interaction between this technology and its users.

Bitcoin, as an open-source project, has created a worldwide community of Internet-connected users who are further transforming this cryptocurrency by their specific use. Ethnographic research took place during the meetings of the community surrounding the Prague place called Parallel Polis in the period of years 2017-2018 and was subsequently extended to the "online" world.

These ideas are characterized by certain paradoxes and dilemmas...
