Blockchain governace: Stigmergy Age

One example of autonomy systems with its own laws and rules is the global bitcoin ecosystem based on blockchain. [1] Blockchain technologies are transferring our finance and legal systems by cryptocurrency payment and smart contract systems. [2][3][4][5] They are offering a stigmergy approach, enabling systematic cooperation in an entirely distributed and decentralized manner.[6][7][8][9][better source needed] They can be considered as hyper-political and global governance tools, capable of managing social interactions on a large scale and dismissing traditional central authorities.[10] The blockchain may allow human beings to evolve to a Stigmergy Age with leaders without orders, order without law,[11][12] gift without tax[13] and communities without borders[14].[15][16][17]
