Dijital Çağda Paranın Dönüşümü: Kripto Para Birimleri ve Blok Zinciri (Blockchain) Teknolojisi: Üniversite Öğrencilerine Yönelik Bir Araştırma

Öz

Dijital para birimleri olan kripto paralar ve kripto paraların dayandığı temel sistem olan blok zinciri teknolojisi, son yıllarda medyadan, finans endüstrisinden, araştırmacılardan, hükümetlerden, düzenleyici kurumlardan ve yatırımcılardan büyük ilgi görmektedir. Bu ilginin kaynağını, teknolojik yeniliklerin ve özellikle de dijitalleşmenin para kavramını ve paranın yapısını nasıl etkilediğinin belirleyicisi olan, teknoloji ve ekonominin kesişiminde görmekteyiz. Bu bağlamda bu çalışma, kripto paralar ve blockchain teknolojisi hakkında bilgi vermek ve Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi öğrencilerinin kripto para birimlerini bilme ve kullanım düzeylerini tespit etme amacına yönelik olarak yapılmıştır. 400 öğrenciye uygulanan anket sonucunda elde edilen veriler, SPSS 15 programında sayısallaştırılmış, yapılan analizlerde üniversite öğrencilerinin kripto para birimlerinden haberdar oldukları, ancak öğrenciler arasında kripto para kullanım düzeyinin düşük olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
