American non-profit global policy think tank RAND Corporation has published an extensive research paper entitled “National Security Implications of Virtual Currency,” to examine the feasibility for non-state actors to increase their political power by deploying a virtual currency like bitcoin.
The research addressed three main points:
Why would a non-state actor (an organization with significant political influence) deploy a virtual currency? What challenges will it have to overcome?
How might a government technologically disrupt a VC deployment?
The purposes of deployment and development of virtual currency broader than currency
