In 2008, the whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" introduced an original design of a decentralized digital currency. The innovations, described by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, have led to the evolution of cryptocurrencies and have attracted significant attention from the media and investors. The price of bitcoin has captured the interest, and the dynamics of bitcoin have become a popular topic in academia. This the- sis examines the dynamics of bitcoin prices with several network metrics and financial assets. Three periods chosen by Prophet’s change point detection are studied to capture the relationships in different characteristics. Cointegration relationships are analyzed, and according to the results, VAR and VEC models are estimated for granger causality. The cointegration relationship between BTC and hashrate revealed a unidirectional granger-causality from BTC price to hashrate. Additionally, BTC price granger-causes volume in two periods. Finally, ARIMA models are used to forecast Bitcoin and other variables in seven different periods. The results are compared and evaluated by several accuracy measures.

Topology-Aware Cooperative Data Protection in Blockchain-Based Decentralized Storage Networks
Yang, Siyi; Hareedy, Ahmed; Calderbank, Robert; Dolecek, Lara (2020-06-01)
The continuous rise of the blockchain technology is moving various information systems towards decentralization. Blockchain-based decentralized storage networks (DSNs) offer significantly higher privacy and lower costs to customers compared with centralized cloud storage associated with specific vendors. Coding is required to retrieve data stored on failing components. While coding solutions for centralized storage have been intensely studied, those for DSNs have not yet been discussed. In this paper, we pr...
Implications of Blockchain Technology in the Health Domain
Baysal, Merve Vildan; Özcan Top, Özden; Betin Can, Aysu (2021-09-09)
Blockchains are tamper-evident and tamper-resistant digital ledgers. Due to their distributed and shared nature, and their cryptographic functions, blockchains are resilient to alterations. They provide a trustworthy environment for the data stored in the ledgers. However, each new technology brings its own challenges along with the opportunities. Our minds are still busy with the question of “how could blockchain technology potentially benefit us?” In this paper, we approach to this question from the healt...

Robust optimization for energy-aware cryptocurrency farm location with renewable energy
Lotfi, Reza; Ghaboulian Zare, Sara; Gharehbaghi, Alireza; Nazari, Sima; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2023-03-01)
The cryptocurrency industry has changed the human life and accelerated financial exchange in this decade. Many investors want to invest in this industry and establish cryptocurrency farms. This research sets up a CryptoCurrency Farm Location (CCFL) as a facility location that supplies energy by Renewable Energy (RE). We presented a new robust optimization with the stochastic approach for tackling uncertainty in CCFL and compared it with stochastic CCFL. Our objective function includes maximizing the mean an...
Crypto asset taxonomy classification and crypto news sentiment analysis
Köse, Ozan; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-9)
There are over 1900 cryptocurrencies trading in cryptocurrency exchanges as of June 2020 and the number is rapidly growing. In the current crypto scene, cryptocurrencies are seen as investment vehicles by many, yet every crypto asset is designed to operate in a specific sector within a pre-defined business model. There are many characteristics that differentiate one crypto asset from another and there are numerous internal and external factors that affect each crypto asset differently depending on these charac...
