商品描述

The rise of smartphones, social media, cryptocurrencies and digital assets has changed our lives profoundly over the last decade. In tandem, the relationship between governments, citizens and businesses has evolved, creating new sets of challenges and imbalances, but also opportunities.

This book focuses on the evolving digitisation of the financial industry and the impact this has on users. Particular attention is given to the emergence of new technologies such as blockchain, smart contracts and AI. The increasingly interconnected, data-driven digital economy, which includes many aspects of an individual's and organisation's life, has become a challenge for regulators, too. Matters are complex but also increasingly centralised, with a growing trend of distrust. Should we push for more decentralisation?

To shed light on this question we begin by providing an overview of key concepts and develop a high-level qualitative framework and approach to what we call 'Redecentralisation'.

Delving into those technology areas that form part of the tectonic plate shift of our financial system we explore the pillars of money and payments that are at a turning point with the replacement of key infrastructural components necessary for the future of what we call the Digital Financial Ecosystem. Digital identity and data privacy also form part of this broader puzzle.

We then look to the future to consider some of the latest trends and 'what if' scenarios. Where do we see Redecentralisation at play in the Digital Financial Ecosystem? What is the role of technology in this, e.g. Web3, the Metaverse and Decentralised Finance? Can Redecentralisation support an alignment of values across people, governments and businesses? What is the role of technology in this? And finally, do we need a new digital social contract to underpin and protect our digital lives?

智慧手機、社交媒體、加密貨幣和數位資產的崛起，在過去十年間深刻改變了我們的生活。與此同時，政府、公民和企業之間的關係也在演變，帶來了新的挑戰和不平衡，但也帶來了機會。

本書聚焦於金融行業的數位化演進以及其對使用者的影響。特別關注於區塊鏈、智能合約和人工智慧等新技術的出現。越來越相互連接、數據驅動的數位經濟已成為監管機構面臨的挑戰，也變得越來越集中，並出現了日益增長的不信任趨勢。我們應該推動更多的去中心化嗎？

為了回答這個問題，我們首先提供了關鍵概念的概述，並制定了一個高層次的定性框架和方法，我們稱之為「重新去中心化」。

我們深入探討了金融系統的構成部分中的技術領域，這些領域正在發生地殼板移位，我們探索了金錢和支付的支柱，這些支柱正處於轉折點，需要替換未來所謂的數位金融生態系統所需的關鍵基礎結構組件。數位身份和數據隱私也是這個更廣泛的拼圖的一部分。

然後，我們展望未來，考慮一些最新的趨勢和「如果」情景。我們在數位金融生態系統中看到了重新去中心化的發展？技術在其中扮演了什麼角色，例如Web3、Metaverse和去中心化金融？重新去中心化能否支持人民、政府和企業之間價值觀的調和？技術在其中扮演了什麼角色？最後，我們是否需要一個新的數位社會契約來支撐和保護我們的數位生活？
