Zusammenfassung
Bitcoin ist eine dezentrale virtuelle Währung, die dafür genutzt werden kann, weltweit pseudoanonymisierte Zahlungen innerhalt kurzer Zeit und mit vergleichsweise geringen Transaktionskosten auszuführen. In dieser Abhandlung zeigen wir die ersten Ergebnisse eine Langzeitstudie zur Bitcoinadressenkurve, die alle Adressen und Transaktionen seit dem Start von Bitcoin im Januar 2009 bis zum 31. August 2016 enthält. Unsere Untersuchung enthüllt eine stark verschobene Gradverteilung mit einer geringen Anzahl von Ausnahmen und zeigt, dass sich die gesamte Kurve stark ausdehnt. Außerdem zeigt sie die Macht der Adressbündelungsheuristik zur Identifikation von realen Akteuren, die es bevorzugen, Bitcoin für den Wertetransfer statt für die Wertespeicherung zu verwenden. Wir gehen davon aus, dass diese Abhandlung neue Einblicke in virtuelle Währungsökosysteme bietet und als Grundlage für das Design zukünftiger Untersuchungsmethoden und -infrastrukturen dienen kann.
