Por lo tanto, quiero agradecer, aunque quizás no se enteren, a mi familia, por soportar verme sentado frente a la computadora hasta altas horas de la noche y durante muchos días libres que podría disfrutar junto a ellos. A mis padres, por forjar en mí el espíritu de tolerancia y sacrificio. A mis hermanos y amigos por apoyar lo que hago y lo que me gusta, a mis seres queridos con quienes cotidianamente comparto la vida desde un ángulo laboral por fortalecer en mí las ganas de continuar por el mismo camino. A los lectores de mis cosas, porque independientemente de la satisfacción personal que implica esta labor, existe un objetivo encubierto que es el de compartir con ellos la información que resulta de diversas investigaciones, aunque esa información sea parcial por la misma naturaleza de la investigación.

    Creation and Resilience of Decentralized Brands: Bitcoin & the Blockchain Syeda Mariam Humayun A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Administration Schulich School of Business York University Toronto, Ontario March 2019 © Syeda Mariam Humayun 2019 Abstract: This dissertation is based on a longitudinal ethnographic and netnographic study of the Bitcoin and broader Blockchain community. The data is drawn from 38 in-depth interviews and 200+ informal interviews, plus archival news media sources, netnography, and participant observation conducted in multiple cities: Toronto, Amsterdam, Berlin, Miami, New York, Prague, San Francisco, Cancun, Boston/Cambridge, and Tokyo. Participation at Bitcoin/Blockchain conferences included: Consensus Conference New York, North American Bitcoin Conference, Satoshi Roundtable Cancun, MIT Business of Blockchain, and Scaling Bitcoin Tokyo. The research fieldwork was conducted between 2014-2018. The dissertation is structured as three papers: - “Satoshi is Dead. Long Live Satoshi.” The Curious Case of Bitcoin: This paper focuses on the myth of anonymity and how by remaining anonymous, Satoshi Nakamoto, was able to leave his creation open to widespread adoption. - Tracing the United Nodes of Bitcoin: This paper examines the intersection of religiosity, technology, and money in the Bitcoin community. - Our Brand Is Crisis: Creation and Resilience of Decentralized Brands – Bitcoin & the Blockchain: Drawing on ecological resilience framework as a conceptual metaphor this paper maps how various stabilizing and destabilizing forces in the Bitcoin ecosystem helped in the evolution of a decentralized brand and promulgated more mainstreaming of the Bitcoin brand. ii Dedication: To my younger brother, Umer.

    1 Introduction to Computer Architecture and Security A Computer is composed of a number of different components: Hardware: Computer hardware processes information by executing instructions, storing data, moving data among input and output devices, and transmitting and receiving information to and from remote network locations. Software: Software consists of system software and application software or pro- grams. Operating Systems such as Windows, UNIX/Linux and Snow Leopard are system software. Word, Firefox browser and iTunes are examples of application software. Network: The network communication component is responsible for sending and receiving information and data through local area network or wireless connections. Data is the fundamental representation of information and facts but usually format- ted in a special way. All software is divided into two categories: data and pro- grams. Programs are a collection of instructions for manipulating data. Figure 1.1 shows a view of a computer system from a user perspective. Here a computer system no longer looks like an onion as traditional textbooks used to represent. Instead, a network component (including hardware and software) is added as a highway for data flowing in and out of the computer system. Computer architecture is to study how to design computer systems. It includes all components: theCOPYRIGHTED central processing unit (CPU), MATERIAL computer memory and storage, input and output devices (I/O), and network components. Since the invention of the Internet, computer systems are no longer standalone machines. The traditional “computing” concept of the single machine model is Computer Architecture and Security: Fundamentals of Designing Secure Computer Systems, First Edition.
