100 Articles on Behavioral Economics Curated Publications List

Behavior economics are fundamental for the success of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Through the integration of incentives into the system, particular outcomes can be predicted which lead to successful operation and security of the network.

This is because without the guiding hand of a central monetary policy institution it is easy to direct or take over a network, or simply fail to provide the attributes which are required for successful forms of money.

This concept is related to law and economics, but also to game theory in mathematics. It is a well studied field with even the Nobel Prize being awarded in this area. It is important to consider this field of study for cryptocurrencies, however, as new complexities in permissionless networks can create unexpected and new incentives to shape effort. Rather than being set in one way, there are past and future approaches that may differ wildly.
