The Blockchain technology, which is best expressed as the implementation of crypto currencies,
is an important technological innovation for the society. The ideals embedded into this
technology, especially decentralization, will create a possibility for the reorganization of
centralized forms of institutional governance. Opponents and skeptics of the new technology
argue for institutionalized governance and centralization, and reject any ideas of decentralization.
The discourses embedded in the Blockchain community are many, and different interest groups
possess their own opinions on the matter. The involvement in discourses generates opinions and
knowledge that, like discourses, fight for dominance. Different interest groups with different
perceptions of reality and ideas are embedded in different discourses that condition their
knowledge. Through the critical discursive analysis we can define discourses and discursive
relations. Discourses define individual ideals, influence thinking and speech of particular interest
groups.
