»in besonderer Weise lesenswert. Die Monographie überzeugt durch die Darstellung einer großen Vielfalt gegenwärtiger Anwendungsfelder der Blockchain und durch die bisher so in der Literatur noch nicht zu findende Systematisierung der geltenden rechtlichen Maßstäbe in einem internationalen Zusammenhang. Das Buch ist zur Lektüre zu empfehlen - den Juristen, aber auch denjenigen, die eher an der technischen Funktionsweise der Blockchain interessiert sind.«
