In the past decade, with the boom and expansion of Blockchain-based applications, governments and regulators are legislating new laws and regulations to take a control over the revolutionary technology. In some cases, these approvals are not in line with the ideas and interests of the Blockchain Activists, which results in the formation of a Game of Interests. Recently, after issuance of a statement by the National Bank of Iran, entitled “The Requirements and Standards of the Cryptocurrencies”, the Blockchain community has conducted a qualitative research, aimed at reducing the conflict between the interests of the state and the activists. The question arises here that which model does best fit this research? We aim to analyze the data gathered from the interviews and focus groups, using a standard framework. We call for methods and frameworks applied in the literature to find the best practice for qualitative coding process.
If ultimately you are all going to go to surveys and interviews, then what is the need of a framework-based qualitative research? Just take three steps ... [1] Decide a level of expertise ... suppose you select professors of economics or management all across Iran (as many as possible) [2] Ask them simple yes/no type of objective questions [3] Calculate the results by associating points with potential answers, and then adding them up to find comparisons between the different optional preferences obtained. This is simple, may even be innovative. Try.
Dear Arghya Ray , Thank you for offering such an innovative simple method. We have arranged interviews and sessions with Iran Blockchain Associations' professional members, some academics, and the top managers of the BT industry. We'll surely consider the method you mentioned, though in my opinion, if there were a pretested framework, we could ask more efficient open questions, and model the findings in a way that could be used in future studies. Because we aim to identify Conflict of Interests between the government and the BT community, their Limitations, Challenges and Opportunities for collaboration (in advancement of the technology), and offer Solutions for arising problems.
