Abstract
What is Bitcoin and how does it work? We explore the popular cryptocurrency using time series analysis. We demonstrate how one can model the returns and volatility of the asset with GARCH models. We then pose a discussion of what the future of Bitcoin is, its identity as a so called “currency” and its evolving identity as a financial asset.
