Abstract
This chapter examines freedom and blockchain. Hegel stated that world history is the progression of freedom consciousness. While modern law and the state have facilitated the realization of freedom, blockchain technology has facilitated global, autonomous decentralization. This chapter defines freedom and explores how blockchain aids in its promotion and examines why central governments of developed countries opposed Libra, a global currency concept based on blockchain. While the central government intervened to crush Libra, this chapter shows that blockchain has vast possibilities for evolution of freedom. From the perspective of the absolute, blockchain and modern law and the state, while in conflict, will promote human freedom dialectically. This chapter uses the concepts such as publicness, autonomy, setback, external third party, facts and norms, primary rules, law and facts, family, bodily extension, constitutionalism, objective reality, absolute spirit, and so on. Also, the theories of Hayek, Habermas, H.L.A. Hart, Wittgenstein, Hegel, and so on will be utilized in this chapter.
