Abstract
This study points out issues towards a better use of blockchain technology. It first identifies the role of data as the third major productive resources next to labor and capital in the digital economy and explains that block chain technology may facilitate an efficient and fair use of this important production factor. Blockchain technology may fundamentally change the current economy in three respects: (1) Data ownership, (2) money, and (3) data industry.
