Networks were proposed as a different ideal-type in which relations are not quantifiable and trust makes them sticky. Those ideal-types do not seem to work well to explain online practices.

The underneath architecture (blockchain) offers a novel mode of distributed authentication, which guarantees scarcity (infinite money is not money) and avoids central authorities. None of the previous ideal-types seems to work here, so millions of actors, from small traders to central banks, are by necessity strategizing-as-practice. This mode of organizing can be called {\textquestiondown}tribal{\textquestiondown} because it captures the paradox of rivalry originating {\textquestiondown}togetherness{\textquestiondown}.}, author = {Miscione, G} }
