摘要
The virtual currency and payment project Bitcoin intends to challenge the current monetary and payment system that finds itself in a legitimacy crisis in the aftermath of the financial market turmoil of 2008. In examining the governance of the Bitcoin system, I try to assess its potential to create input and output legitimacy as a payment system and as a monetary system in comparison with current practice.
