“Deconstructing blockchain rhetoric
The false promise of blockchain lies in its claims of universality, which go beyond a platform that mediates data and provides services in the cloud; in the humanistic sector, blockchain aspires to influence governance systems for data production and platform dependency. In doing so, it establishes a technological frontier, where the valuable resources of the developing world become objects of paramount importance (Jutel, 2021). Moreover, blockchain behaves as a substitute for trust between people; it promises to democratise big data, offering all kinds of governance solutions under principles such as transparency, disintermediation, accountability, and efficiency. (Jutel, 2021).”
