In this paper, we explore how cryptocurrencies have been received in Sweden and Japan, and what specific attitudes and discourses may reveal about the ethical implications surrounding this new technology. By way of topic modelling prevalent discourses on social media among users of cryptocurrencies, and teasing out the more culturally situated significance in such interactions through discourse analysis, our aim is to unpack the way certain tropes and traces around the notion of autonomy may provide a fruitful lens through which we may discern how this technology has been received in each respective country. The ultimate aim of the paper is to shed light on the attitudes that inform the way this technology is perceived and the cultural and ideological nuances that this brings to the fore, as well as how this culturally nuanced view may help us better discern the potential advantages and ethical challenges associated with this new technology.
在本文中，我们探讨了加密货币在瑞典和日本的接受情况，以及围绕这项新技术的伦理影响，特定的态度和话语可能揭示出什么。通过对加密货币用户在社交媒体上的流行话语进行主题建模，并通过话语分析梳理出此类互动中更具文化情境的意义，我们的目的是剖析围绕自主性概念的某些比喻和痕迹如何能提供一个富有成效的视角，借此我们可以了解这项技术在每个国家的接受情况。本文的最终目的是阐明那些影响人们对这项技术认知方式的态度，以及由此凸显的文化和意识形态细微差别，以及这种具有文化细微差别的观点如何能帮助我们更好地辨别与这项新技术相关的潜在优势和伦理挑战。
