Topic: Bitcoin and monetary policy (Read 341 times)

Hey, almost two months have passed since you opened this thread. Can you share some of your work? Is there a GitHub where we can read something?

Your thesis is quite interesting. Though I suggest you specify what your coverage and scope of the study would be. List down what you want to be included in the field of your study, so that you won't waste your time reading unrelated works of literature. Bitcoin and monetary policy is a broad subject. In fact, bitcoin only covers a wide array of topics itself. You can look at several articles about bitcoin online. Utilize your resources such as your Internet since almost everything can be searched by using different browsers such as Google.

Also, I would like to suggest that be wary of the economical status of the countries you will use in your study. There are different classifications of economic status as well as the policies and regulations they have made. Define the terminologies briefly and precisely so that your supervisor will easily understand the essence of your study.

maybe can help you quote from https://www.dbs.com/insights/id-bh/uang-kripto-dan-sistem-moneter-di-masa-Depan.html

digital money is not under the control of state authorities. Bitcoin, for example, is the result of calculations in a computer system. This raises the question, can digital money replace money in circulation that is known to the public? Can the government control the inflation that arises from increasing the supply of crypto money?

Although the supply of one type of cryptocurrency can be limited, there is an opportunity for the publication of other types of cryptocurrencies so that in aggregate the supply of digital money continues to increase, even excessive.
One of the tools to maintain economic stability is monetary policy. When there is a recession, the money supply is increased to increase purchasing power. And vice versa when the economy is on the rise, supply is reduced so that the economy does not overheat. In this case, the presence of cryptocurrencies can challenge the role of the monetary authority.

Why can't you download Bitcoin whitepaper and read it thoroughly, I think it'd would be better enough to understand more better about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, absolutely, it's better to have good background knowledge about the purpose of cryptocurrency, and that's for decentralization, payment techniques, mining processes, all these are special explanations you could be searching on, trust me, after knowing this you gonna be successful.

I’m also wondering on the possible reaction of your thesis adviser here and the panelist, so its good to update this thread once you finished your study. Though, this market is huge to be discussed just choose the important details, collect all the needed data and if you have experience on this market you can also include that on your study, just don’t forget your reason on why you are choosing this topic.

You can easily just search on google for help , the same thing you’re requesting here is still something that people will have to search it up Google before they can reply, since you said that what you need are links from newspapers, blogs and the rest of them.

So, you can just search on Google for that particular topic you’re looking for and see what comes up, then you can then try doing your search in different ways by twisting the words and seeing what extra is coming up. If you are looking for where to check for news, then sites like CCN, Coindesk, and the rest of them are going to be very helpful.

Instead of finding some newspapers just go on some related websites or trusted websites just like coindesk, coincenter and other websites that are releasing different articles about cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. In order for you to defend your side, you must known everything so that when they ask, you will be able to answer them briefly. In those websites just like coindesk there are a lot of topics and articles there that might help you to understand on the topic of monetizing bitcoin and I hope it will help you.

I remember when I told to my friend last summer " the value of btc will be very high, btc is limited" then he tells me " every cryptocurrencies will drop, it's a bubble " btc was $ 10000 ,now is about 60000$.
Maybe one day also the judges will change idea.

It would be great to update this thread again after 5 months or after you've defended your thesis. Watch out for the reaction of the judges/panelist and see how their faces look like.
And you'll get to see too how many of them were already into bitcoin. Good luck, you've got a lot of suggestions for your reference.

Here is one of an article in pdf form that help you to understand about the monetary system and the bitcoin. The effect of digital currency to the monetary policy of each country depends on how far the adoptation was achieved in different country. Different central banks have unique views about bitcoin itself.

Traditional monetary policy can not be changed easily but if you talk and represent about the future changes that was related with bitcoin, then it helps.

I know that the judges could be traditionalist

Are you studying on general Bitcoin or you’re only limited to your country?
Probably, there’s a lot of different monetary policy on every country so if you’re studying this one you might not be able to finish it in 5 Months so you’d better to set your target place and from there, start digging for informations. Your Central bank have their own monetary policy with regards to Bitcoin, that can be your great source.

You must be very careful when you talk about monetary policy, if the judges of the project are very radical with respect to the traditional economy, you must enter by inflationary economy and deflationary economy, they will be governed by safe actions, example: Stock Market and its actions well supported, you have to emphasize above all on the Law of Supply and Demand, although Bitcoin does not have a backing in Gold, in precious stones, among others, it has a large market capitalization and that its main characteristic is that its Bitcoins are limited to 21Millions, this means that the economy that is believed to be clearly deflationary, I think that you can enter from that side.

Here is a guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency for Investment professionals. Also, here is a youtube video on Blockchain and Money which was conducted at MIT, but that's more on the technical side of blockchain. This one is more related to history of money and our financial systems and how bitcoin plays a part. Its a series so you can check out the others on their channel. Watching it was super fascinating to learn about history of the global finance and payments system. Essentially, ledgers are at the core of everything and the way we make payments has always gone through processes of evolution and change. This lecture was conducted by the guy who was nominated by joe biden himself to be the SEC chief.

To do a thesis or some kind of scientific research I would suggest that you visit book.cc, sci-hub, openlibrary, ebooklobby, and many more. then to find a correlation with cryptocurrency, you can visit CoinTelegraph and NewsBTC.

thank you very much ,and HODL 

I understood it as "policies regarding bitcoin in nations", like some nations ban it, some nations allow it, some nations do not have any laws about it at all and just assume laws on per case basis, and some nations regulate it some do not etc etc. Like how a nation makes laws about stuff, and I thought this was about something like that, I do not know maybe I understood it wrong but that is what that seemed like for me and that is what I was looking for.

If it is about something else, OP could come in and write more about it but I feel like these kinds of topics usually end up being researched like crazy right after writing it here, because who would just write something this important and end up not caring about it and just red few answers and be fine with it? He probably researched it after writing here and found what he was looking for.

Bitcoin and Monetary policy
Now this is an interesting topic but you should think about how do you want to start and from where you want to start ? This is indeed a very deep topic, it does have a lot of interesting options that you can go about. At the same time "Google", it does have everything! You can find all the information from there , but you should visit the profile of Mr. Satoshi here, start your journey going through his words and what he intended it to be. You can very well talk about :
Creation
Usage
First surge in price
Where it is now
Policies
Wallets
Why one should try holding some bitcoins and what benefit it gives to the user as a whole.
Why is it tackling the problem of the corrupted and old monetary system and how it can establish a cleaner society and strengthen the Government.
Talk about merits and demerits too But tactically for example:
Bitcoins is extremely volatile, therefore time and again it's a matter of concern for most people but this Volatility is honestly an amazing buying opportunity for the users who might have missed buying bitcoins when the price was low.   
Give them a chance to ask questions too, but you would only be able to answer if you do study in depth about this therefore I would encourage you to find your own sources, most of them are trustable on the Google but you have to choose what you would like in your report.
Best of luck
Work hard.

Inelastic and deterministic bitcoin monetary policy is certainly one of his predominant feature in the protocol design.
 suggested you a few resources on our local boards, but I think @mu_enrico and @thenineclub make a lot of sense.

Bitcoin and monetary policy are too political/polarized for independent & unbiased science to prevail. Majority views published on cryptocurrencies are false narratives revolving around it being a safe haven for criminals and money launderers. False content about cryptocurrencies having large carbon footprints and being bad for the environment. These claims have been disproven numerous times over the years. Its easy to find news on investigations proving banks are the biggest launderers of capital. Bitcoin mining does not necessarily have a large carbon footprint due to it being majority powered by surplus and renewable forms of green energy.

The closest thing to legitimate research published on crypto I remember reading, is the following excerpt from apple co founder Steve Wozniak.

Write ups detailing the long history of fiat/paper money inevitably returning to its "intrinsic value" of zero are also some of the best published work on crypto imo:
