这篇客座社论以 Kosmarski 和 Gordiychuk 在《今日人类学》上发表的 2021 年关于区块链人类学的客座社论为起点，他们在文中讨论了区块链在“新颖、怪异、草根、去中心化的社会生活形式的脆弱希望”方面的可能性。他们还认为，区块链将我们带到了政治、经济、资本、选票和主观感受方面的“新领域”。两年后，在这篇 2023 年客座社论中，作者评估了区块链技术在这些“脆弱的希望”和“新领域”方面的地位。他们区分了区块链想象的三种表述：区块链作为话语、区块链作为社会技术组合和区块链作为景观。然后，他们探讨了区块链对资本意味着什么，以及我们是否会大规模采用区块链技术，并得出结论认为，目前他们主要看到的是机构采用。作者还辨别了平行的制度结构，一方面是传统金融，另一方面是区块链支持的加密金融，并研究了加密资产受监管的未来。
This guest editorial takes as its starting point the 2021 guest editorial in ANTHROPOLOGY TODAY on the anthropology of blockchain written by Kosmarski and Gordiychuk, in which they discussed the possibilities of blockchain in terms of a ‘frail hope of novel, weird, grassroots, decentralized forms of social life’. They also argued that blockchain brought us to ‘new frontiers’ in politics, economics, capital, votes and subjective feelings. Two years later, in this 2023 guest editorial, the authors take stock of where blockchain technology stands concerning these ‘frail hopes’ and ‘new frontiers’. They distinguish between three articulations of blockchain imaginaries: blockchain‐as‐discourse, blockchain‐as‐sociotechnical assemblage and blockchain‐as‐spectacle. Then, they explore what blockchain means for capital, and whether we are headed towards mass adoption of blockchain technology, concluding that, for now, they see primarily institutional adoption. The authors also discern parallel institutional structures, with traditional finance on one side and blockchain‐enabled crypto finance on the other, and they examine the regulated future of crypto assets.
