Abstract

Son yıllarda finans piyasasında “Kripto Para” kavramı gittikçe popülerlik kazanmış, borsa gibi günlük işlem hacimleri takip edilir duruma gelmiştir. Kripto para denilince birçok insanın aklına ilk olarak Bitcoin gelmektedir. Bitcoin piyasaya çıkan ilk kripto paradır. Bitcoin’den sonra benzer nitelikte birçok kripto para birimi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bitcoin gibi bu para birimleri de işlem görmekte ve çeşitleri gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bitcoin ve ardından diğer kripto para birimlerinin bu denli bir popülariteye ulaşması, arkasındaki teknolojik altyapı olan “Blockchain” sayesindedir. Blockchain’in getirmiş olduğu avantajlar devrim niteliğinde gelişmelere sebep olmuş ve insanlar kripto paralar ile sanal ortamda güvenli bir şekilde işlem yapabilme imkânı elde etmiştir. Blockchain teknolojisi Bitcoin ile birlikte duyulmaya başlamış olsa da icadı Bitcoin’in ortaya çıkmasından çok daha önceye dayanmaktadır. 1991 yılında bulunan Blockchain’in tanımını yapmadan önce toplumda genel kanı olan; Bitcoin ile Blockchain’in aynı kavramlar olduğu yanılgısına düşmemek faydalı olacaktır. Blockchain teknolojisi, Bitcoin uygulamasının temelinde yer alan teknolojidir, iki kavram aynı anlama gelmemektedir. 2008 yılında ortaya çıkan Bitcoin’in popülerliğinin artması ile birlikte Blockchain teknolojisi çalışılmaya başlanmış ve yapabilecekleri ortaya kondukça ilgi odağı olmaya başlamıştır. Blockchain teknolojisinin dağıtık veri tabanı yaklaşımı, sunmuş olduğu; aracısız, şeffaf, güvenli işlem gibi avantajları sayesinde birçok firma tarafından tercih edilmeye başlanmış, firmalar yeni projelerini Blockchain teknolojisi ile geliştirmeye başlarken aynı zaman mevcut sistemlerini taşıma yönünde eğilim göstermeye başlamıştır. Bu makalede, Blockchain’in temel yapısı, sunmuş olduğu avantajları ve tüm avantajlarının yanında uygulamaya geçişteki yaşanan tereddütlerin sebebi anlatılmaktadır.

POWER BEHIND BITCOIN: BLOCKCHAIN

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of "Crypto Money" has become increasingly popular in the financial market, where daily trading volumes such as the stock market have been tracked. Bitcoin is the most known crypto currency. Bitcoin is the first crypto currency on the market. After Bitcoin, many crypto currencies appeared in similar qualification.

Blockchain technology has begun to be heard with Bitcoin, but found long before the invention of the Bitcoin. Before introducing Blockchain which was found in 1991, it would be useful to point out that Bitcoin and Blockchain are not the same concepts. Blockchain technology is the technology that is the basis of Bitcoin application, the two concepts do not mean the same. With the rise of the popularity of Bitcoin in 2008, Blockchain technology became more popular and lots of application appeared. With the Blockchain distributed database approach; transparent, safe and no-intermediary processing capability are obtained. Thanks to these advantages, Blockchain has begun to be preferred by many companies, companies have begun to develop their new projects with Blockchain technology and at the same time have started to tend to move their existing systems.
