Bitcoin: Future or Bubble?

İhsan Ersan

A crypto-currency can be defined as a virtual monetary unit that is used via internet and not subject to the controls of any central authority or intermediary. These crypto-currencies can only be transferred from the virtual ledgers by using specific ciphers and can be used in a transaction via specific ciphers. In other words, individuals and institutions can make payments using these crypto-currencies just like other currencies. There are more than one thousand types of crypto-currencies. The purpose of this study is to find an answer for the question of whether these crypto-currencies could be the money of the future or a financial bubble like those examples in history. There is still no consensus on the value of crypto-currencies. Reliability and the superiority of blockchain technology are the strength of crypto-currencies, while its usage in money laundering, high transaction costs and problems with data mining are their weaknesses.

Bitcoin: Gelecek mi, Balon mu?

İhsan Ersan

Kripto para internet aracılığıyla kullanılan, hiç bir merkezi otoriteye ya da aracı kuruma bağlı olmayan sanal para olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu sanal paralar ancak belirli şifreler kullanılarak yerleştirildikleri sanal cüzdanlardan çıkarılıp, yine belirli şifrelerle işleme tabi tutulabilirler. Bir diğer anlatımla bireyler ve kurumlar tıpkı fiziksel parayla olduğu gibi bu sanal parayla da ödeme yapabilirler. Piyasada binin üzerine kripto para vardır. Bitcoin, Etherium, Ripple, Litecoin ve Dash bunların önde gelenleridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Bitcoin ve diğer kripto paraların geleceğin para birimi mi yoksa tarihte örneklerine rastlanan finansal balonlardan biri mi olduğu sorusuna yanıt aramaktır.Kripto paraların değerlemesinin nasıl yapılacağı halen üzerinde mutabakat sağlanamamıştır. Güvenirlilik, blockchain teknonojinin üstünlüğü sanal paranın üstünlükleri arasında öne çıkarken kara para aklamada kullanılması, yüksek işlem maliyetleri, veri madenciliğinde yaşanan sorunlar ise zafiyet noktalarını oluşturmaktadır.
