SUMMARY:Is Bitcoin a Decentralized Payment Mechanism?
DESCRIPTION:Is Bitcoin a Decentralized Payment Mechanism? by William Luther\, Florida Atlantic University \nAbstract: We make a distinction between centralized\, decentralized\, and distributed payment mechanisms. A centralized payment mechanism processes a transaction using a trusted third party. A decentralized payment mechanism processes a transaction between the parties to the transaction. A distributed payment mechanism relies on the network of users to process a transaction on a shared ledger. We maintain that bitcoin is neither a centralized nor a decentralized payment mechanism. It is\, instead\, a distributed payment mechanism. We then consider decentralized and centralized aspects of the broader bitcoin payment space. \nView the talk here.
