New UW Bitcoin Research Institute Asks Big Questions About Money

Gift from Portfolio Manager Mark Casey Establishes the Center.

Is money -- and digital currency, such as bitcoin -- a medium of exchange, a unit of value, an instrument of power or a social contract? Is money defined by how it functions in society and the trust it creates, or does it have intrinsic value? Does the value of a person correlate with how much money they have? How does bitcoin differ from traditional money -- a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar?

There has been little academic research on bitcoin, especially outside of computer science and economics. It is a complex topic, and there are many misconceptions. UW’s Bitcoin Research Institute seeks to fill this very large gap.
