Bitcoin, which is an output of Blockchain Technology, Mining and Blockchain Technology, is briefly described in this study. ARCH, GARCH, ARCH-M, EGARCH and TARCH models are used to determine the asymmetric volatility which is frequently used in the literature in the application part of the study. For this purpose, historical returns for Bitcoin are calculated from Bitcoin/USD closing prices. The calculation period is determined as 01.01.2015-11.02.2018.
