Brand Hive Mind: Building the Bitcoin Decentralized Brand
This conceptual paper derives from a longitudinal ethnographic and netnographic study of Bitcoin/Blockchain since 2014-present. We formalize the logic of the way in which the Bitcoin decentralized brand has evolved through crises based on its “hive mind" and how its social memory develops through stabilizing and destabilizing forces.
