Topic: Doing an essay on Bitcoin, need ideas - page 2. (Read 2800 times)
I see you're a computer science student, then maybe you should focus on the technicalities of bitcoin. Start your essay on the history of bitcoin and how was it made and have a transition to the technical side of it.
One idea that I could think of is whether Quantum computing will make bitcoin mining much faster, the technology is promising in my opinion because we are currently reaching a plateau in computing speed, and in relation to that no matter how you upgrade your mining rig, it will not matter because we reached the cap.
Hello!Bitcoin has a lot of great features that you could possibly used in your essay.
I think you can start doing some research based on what you've learned working in this global forum. Opinions here on the thread is quite great and helpful, and for sure it can add more knowledge to you for an easiest study. I won't add anymore, they already said a lot 😊. Wish you luck in your essay and Congratulations! Stay safe 💕

Basically Bitcoin and blokchain are different but have a relationship. because your topic is about Comp science. means you have to get knowledge about programming languages, PoW, coding from bitcoin. You can search for knowledge on the official bitcoin website, or in this forum in the Bitcoin forum section.
I would like to recommend to your research is about how does the bitcoin works and how does it helps the community but of course this is an essay so it's needs to have a good title. Like
Those are the possible titles you could use but still, you are in the field of programming language I think you just need to give which is related to the comsci which is proving something or making a system with the use of the bitcoin but I think it's too much broad because of the blockchain.
- Cryptocurrency towards to the future innovation
- The effect of the bitcoin on the whole economy.

Hey there everyone, I'm currently finishing my diploma and have to hand in my Extended essay. My topic is going to be Bitcoin(Comp. science) , although it seemed like a good idea at start , the topic seems to be quite too narrow. I have to research about Bitcoin, what part of it should I do the research on?
Thanks in advance for the answer

I tried to make a research for my university when I was finishing my studies and had the same problem.
There is not so much research around bitcoin and blockchain from the universities. Mostly, companies that move around fintech has written essays and articles about that which do not make valid sources for a university citation.
Try to scan the Bitcoin whitepaper it will help you to get ideas or additional information. Making an essay is a little bit difficult but if you're fluent in english then it would be easy just expand your opinions on you can compose your own words about bitcoin. Try also to search some articles about bitcoin and also the whole cryptocurrency.
I think the main purpose of creating bitcoin is like that, satoshi nakamoto wants to create a digital currency that cannot be controlled by others, so only those who have bitcoin can control it and can be used as the safest and fastest transaction solution.Some bitcoin transactions are not safe due to those hackers that can enter a certain platform that you are using.
If you are really careful about sending a bitcoin in a right addresses then you will not have a problem in making transactions.
Also, I think the reason why Satoshi Nakamoto made this digital currency is for people to have an asset where they can benefit for life due to its importance and benefits in the economy. Although, it is volatile in the market, with the use of bitcoin, we should handle our asset carefully and we should know how to deal with the market effectively.
I think it will be more explainable if you consider researching on blockchain at first, then you pitching detailed illustration about bitcoin and how it started, the development it has made globally and also you need to pitch down the advantages and disadvantages that bitcoin has caused since it's a existence. Mind you, your topic or project heading must be unique because it would be the one to attract your supervisor and others to your content.

You can use the following ideas:
1. Start with brief introduction about crypto currency followed by basic and fundamental information about Bitcoins.
2. Write about the origin and starting of BTC in trades and investments.
3. Talk about the golden time of Bitcoins (about 2017)
4. Talk about how Bitcoins can be used in trades and investments. Starting from a small person to person trade to a big million dollar company trade.
5. Talk about the state of Bitcoins now , their future predictions and stuff.(you can use coinpredictor.io for that)
6. Conclude with how it can be a very useful tool for the current and coming generation and how it can totally change the way of economic.

congratulation, I wish your essay will be successful and my opinion about your topic is bitcoin will give different types of experience to everyone so go with your mind about what will you earn and learn in the usage of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin it will be perfect. Thanks in advance for the answer

I think it definitely include the struggling. And also the great position after getting struggled in this situation then only it will be a completed essay about the Bitcoin and also add some good inspiration for the new people hopefully it will be success. Thanks in advance for the answer
Such an interesting topic to write about. If I write such essay I would take such topics as mining or transactions. There is wide field to talk about. When I miss ideas I go to these guys https://paperleaf.ca/write-papers-for-money/ to have professional help on particular question. But I do it rather seldom.
Even the quantum computer problem is already solved. The fact that most people use a new bitcoin address each time would make a bitcoin quantum attack pretty much useless. In the future new addresses will be generated and used automatically.
If we increase the length of bitcoin address, is it more difficult for quantum computer to crack?
...
Another idea for the math-minded would be to take the time between blocks data and see if those times conform to the expected probability of time between blocks (10 minute average, Poisson Distribution (?)).
If you know your statistics, that would be an interesting study and not be "too broad" nor too narrow.

When you finish your essay, why not post it for our enjoyment?

How can topic about Bitcoin be way to narrow? I don't get it. You can write about the blockchain technology in essence. You can write about its decentralized nature and why is it important for the world -snip-.
I gave you just some pointers, there is really so many things to write about out there. Just use your imagination and research.
I want a specific question as to which I will do my research on, most of your point here is related to Economics while I'm doing a Comp. Sc. related essay.I gave you just some pointers, there is really so many things to write about out there. Just use your imagination and research.
Ok, I see, my bad! Here is a possible good one. Possible influence of quantum computers on Bitcoin in the future. Is Bitcoin secure if quantum computers do show up?
If something like quantum computers do in fact get invented, not only bitcoin but pretty much everything that is online now would not be secure. As far as I know normal currencies use some kind of SHA encryption too.
Yes you are right. Banks are using similar encryptions for their cross banking services and online banking of their customers.
Yet, it would be interesting to speculate on certain problems and solutions that quantum computers would bring into all of the financial sector, together with Bitcoin!

What a creative idea.
For starters explaning the nature and essence of bitcoin would be good. The network, how it is maintained (miners) how it is sustained in price (block halving).
If there is time left compare bitcoin with some traditional payment system. Weigh the pro's and the cons etc.
Thanks everyone, although I at first had Bitcoin related topic in my mind for extended essay, I felt it might be a bit too broad to include in 4k words. Hence I chose random numbers, provably fair(compared it to other RNGs etc) to be specific.
Sorry if I wasted anyone's time

The most important thing to focus on Bitcoin is basically the Blockchain itself and how it does to allow decentralisation ,the possible attacks against it and migration techniques. With Blockchain, you have to talk about the mining process and how Bitcoin nodes helps to enforce the rules. You can also focus on quantum computing and explain how ECDSA can be compromised and how to migrate the threat.
