Part of the excursion into the world of virtual currencies is also an insight into the nature of the blockchain and its potential use in marketing. The practical part is represented by a content study that analyzes media and sponsorship partnerships between Crypto.com and brands in the field of professional sports. Individual fragments are analyzed primarily in connection with Morning Consult's research, which examined the relationship of sports fans with cryptocurrencies and blockchain. In the second part of the research, the advertising outputs of the 2022 Super Bowl cryptocurrency exchange competitors and their impact on the current competitive market position are described. The thesis concludes with suggestions and findings that arise from the stated research questions.

Analysis of herd behavior across cryptocurrencies
Krouská, Kateřina ; Kukačka, Jiří (advisor) ; Fanta, Nicolas (referee)
This thesis studies herding behavior in the cryptocurrency market between 2017 and 2022. Results from the static model reveal significant imitative behavior in the up market and during the bull year 2017. In addition, this thesis ranks among the first papers that study the effect of the early stage of the war in Ukraine on the market-wide herding behavior. Furthermore, due to Bitcoin's dominant position among other coins, closer attention is devoted to studying its influence on the herding behavior in the market. However, herding seems to be present only during extreme Bitcoin movements. In response to these results, five dominant coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and Dogecoin) are excluded from the sample and their influence on the rest of the market is studied. The evidence suggests strong herding behavior of the rest of the market around these five giants. Therefore, the return of smaller coins seems to be influenced by the performance of larger coins, rather by solely that of Bitcoin.

Domestic money substitutes and their legal regime Abstract Abstract Domestic money substitutes and their legal regime Abstract The thesis deals with the elementary legal aspects of the phenomenon of cash substitutes in the Czech legal system, especially in relation to the general prohibition of their issuance contained in Section 239 of the Criminal Code. In the introduction the thesis sets out to define the category of items falling under the concept of money substitutes and then to assess the extent to which the provisions constituting the legal regime of lawful money apply to these money substitutes.

After defining the basic concepts, the thesis analyses the current criminal law regulation of money substitutes. In this part, the author addresses selected problems described in the literature on the subject and discusses in detail the history of the current criminal law prohibition of money substitute, concluding that it is de lege lata an obsolete legal regulation which, without further action by the legislator, cannot be constitutionally applied within the framework of criminal law constrained by the...

Heat recovery in crypto-currency mining
Ošmera, Tomáš ; Pech, Ondřej (referee) ; Klimeš, Lubomír (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of residual waste heat from cryptocurrency mining. Due to the high inefficiency of the so-called ASIC mining equipment, almost all of the electrical energy is converted into heat. This paper deals with the possibilities of using and building equipment to dissipate this heat. The device constructed takes advantage of the dielectric properties of the oil from which the heat is removed to the heating system of the house. Using the constructed device it is possible to supply 800-900 W of thermal energy to the heating system of the house.

Examining the Interaction between the Cryptocurrency Market Development and Activity on Leading Social Networks
Doškář, Jakub ; Fanta, Nicolas (advisor) ; Baruník, Jozef (referee)
In this thesis, analyses are conducted to determine whether various measurements of social media activity, including the sentiment value of posts, can be drivers or even predictors of a change in a selected metrices of cryptocurrencies. The analyses are performed on data collected in one-hour and fifteen-minute time intervals from the February of 2021 until the November 2022. The results of the analysis show that variability of the closing price of Bitcoin can be to some extent explained by sentiment derivatives only. Furthermore, it was proven that sentiment derived from social media is significant when used as a predictor of a direction of a price change, under specific circumstances. These results oppose the previous studies, where sentiment was not recognized significant. Moreover, it was determined that considering one- hour intervals returns marginally better outcomes than in the case of shorter time intervals. The thesis outlines the challenges researchers can face when using this technique in their work.
