Abstract
İktisat bilimi, ekonomik aktörlerin tercihlerini ve bu tercihlerin ekonomik göstergelere olan etkisini incelemektedir. Özelde, davranışsal iktisat okulu bu tercihlerin zaman zaman rasyonaliteden ayrıldığını ve bu irrasyonalitenin yol açtığı ekonomik krizleri de modelleyen çıkarımlar yapmaktadır. 2008 yılının sonlarında kripto para olan Bitcoin deneysel olarak kullanılmış, bu tarihten sonra bu kripto finans aracı hızla işlem görmeye başlamıştır. Ancak daha sonraki yıllarda Bitcoin’nin değerindeki dalgalanmalar onun finansal bir araç olmaktan daha çok bir deney aracı olduğu yönünde eleştirilmesine neden olmuştur.
Bu çalışmada etkin piyasa hipotezi ve davranışsal iktisat öğretilerinden yola çıkarak bitcoin piyasasının fiyat balonlarıyla spekülatif ve rassal hareketlere açık olup olmadığı (Supremum Augmented Dickey-Fuller ) SADF testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Ampirik bulgulara göre 2015-2019 dönemine ait Bitcoin fiyatlarında ortaya çıkan şokların etkisi kalıcıdır ve rassal yürüyüş hipotezi geçerlidir.

Abstract
Economics examines the preferences of economic actors and their impact on economic indicators. Specifically, the school of behavioral economics makes inferences modelling the economic crises caused by these irrational preferences.
In late 2008, bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, was used experimentally, and since then this crypto-finance tool has been rapidly trading. In later years, however, fluctuations in bitcoin's value led to criticism that it was more of an experimental tool than a financial instrument. In this study, based on effective market hypothesis and behavioral economics thoughts, it is tested whether the bitcoin market is open to speculative and random walks behaviors through bubbles by (Supremum Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test) SADF. According to empirical findings, there is price bubbles in Bitcoin prices for 2015-2019 and can be considered that the random walking hypothesis is valid.
