Abstract

2008. godine svijet je obogaćen novom i revolucionarnom blockchain tehnologijom. Svijetu je predstavljena kroz njenu prvu praktičnu primjenu, a to je kriptovaluta Bitcoin. Iako ova tehnologija tijekom prvih godina postojanja nije naišla na sveopću prihvaćenost i shvaćanje njene važnosti od strane šire populacije, danas svjedočimo trendu nezaustavljivog rasta popularnosti blockchain tehnologije kao i njenu primjenu u mnogobrojnim industrijama. U diplomskom radu će se, uz pojmovno određenje same tehnologije i definiranja njenih karakteristika, prikazati prednosti primjene blockchain tehnologije s aspekta etike, te istaknuti neke od mogućih primjena ove tehnologije s ciljem smanjenja neetičnih djelovanja pojedinaca, grupa, organizacija i vlada. U empirijskom dijelu ovog rada provest će se istraživanje o percepciji učinkovitosti blockchain tehnologije kao alata za suzbijanje neetičnog djelovanja.

Abstract (english)

In 2008, the world was enriched with new and revolutionary blockchain technology. It was introduced to the world through its first practical application, which is the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Although this technology during the first years of its existence didn't face wide acceptance and understanding of its importance by the general population, today we are witnessing of an unstoppable growth trend in the popularity of blockchain technology and its application in many industries. The thesis will, in addition to the conceptual definition of the technology itself and the definition of its characteristics, present the advantages of using blockchain technology from the ethical aspect, and highlight some of the possible applications of this technology with the aim of reducing unethical activities of individuals, groups, organizations and governments. In the empirical part of this thesis, research will be conducted on the perception of the effectiveness of blockchain technology as a tool to combat unethical activities.
