BITCOIN REVOLUTION AND REGULATION PERPLEXITY IN PRACTICE OF SOME COUNTRIES

Since its launch, Bitcoin2 has challenged the mainstream view of finance.One factor that has historically laid big blows on Bitcoin has been regulatory stirrings. Due to its economic behaviour,the uncontrollable, independent virtual currency bypasses every law so far madeand is located in a socalled ‘legal grey area’.The legal status of Bitcoinvaries substantially from country to country and is still undefined or changing in many of them.3 Likewise, various government agencies and courts have classified Bitcoins differently. However, they are never really big enough to bring it under full control. This article will discuss thelegal status of Bitcoin and the cases that support classification of Bitcoin as currency and further identifies those that support its classification as a security. Following this discussion, this study analyzescurrent regulatory landscape in the United States, China, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Turkey and Iran.

Bitcoin Devrimi ve Bazı Devletlerin Uygulamalarında Yasaların Karmaşıklığı

Bitcoin, piyasaya sunulduğundan bu yana, finans’ın ana görüşlerini tartışmaya başladı. Tarihsel olarak Bitcoin’e büyük darbe vuran faktörlerden biri de yasal düzenlemelerdir. Bitcoin’ın, ekonomik tarzı, kontrol edilemeyen ve bağımsız sanal bir para birimi olmakdan dolayı, şimdiye kadar yapılan her yasayı atlatıyor ve “yasal gri alan” da yerini alır. Bitcoin’ın yasal statüsü, ülkeden ülkeye büyük ölçüde farklılık gösterir ve bunların bazıları halen tanımlanmamış ve bazılar ise değişmektedir. devletlerin birçoğu, aynı şekilde, çeşitli devlet kurumları ve mahkemeler Bitcoini farklı şekilde sınıflandırılmıştır. Ama, Bitcoini tam kontrol altına alacak kadar yeterli değil. çalışmamızda, Bitcoin’ın yasal statüsü ve Bitcoin’in para birimi olarak yada bir teminat olarak sınıflandırılmasını destekleyen kararlar ve görüşler tartışılacaktır; bu konuda, özellikle ABD, Çin, AB, İngiltere, Türkiye ve İran gibi ülkelerin uygulamalarında mevcut yasal düzenlemeler incelenecektir.
