Abstract

Internet’in
bireyler tarafından benimsenmesi ile günümüzde birçok iş modeli internet
üzerine taşınmaktadır. Zaman ve maliyet tasarrufu ile bu dönüşüm bireyler ve
işletmeler için vazgeçilmez duruma gelmiştir. 2008 yılında Satoshi Nakamoto
takma adlı bir kişi veya grup tarafından önerilen Bitcoin ile birlikte bu süreç
farklılaşmaya başlamıştır. Kriptografik yapıların kullanıldığı bu yeni para
birimi ile birlikte ödeme işleminin temelinde yer alan merkezi yapı kavramı
dağıtık mimariye dönüşerek büyük bir değişim yaratmıştır. 2008 yılından bugüne
geçen süre içerisinde Bitcoin öncülüğünde temelde aynı kriptografi esasını
temel alan birçok farklı kripto para birimi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bitcoin
beraberinde getirdiği riskleri ile halen bir tartışma konusu olmakla birlikte
akademik ve akademik olmayan dünyada bu konuda birçok çalışmanın başlamasını
sağlamıştır. Dünya ile birlikte Türkiye de bu değişime hızlı adaptasyon
sağlamıştır. Henüz ödeme biçimi olarak resmi olarak kabul edilmemiş olsa
da  hizmet veren online borsalar,
fiziksel kripto para büroları ile günlük hayata entegre olmaya başlamıştır. Bu
çalışmada Bitcoin’in tanımı yapılarak kripto para ekosisteminin tarihsel
gelişimi ve Dünya’da ve Türkiye’deki son gelişmeler incelenmiştir.
