Tax and Accounting Aspects of Cryptocurrency Operations
Matejíková, Jitka ; Bartušek, Oldřich (referee) ; Svirák, Pavel (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with cryptocurrencies from the theoretical point of view and from the accounting and taxation point of view. Theoretical knowledge will be applied to one selected company that mines and subsequently trades cryptocurrencies, and the other one that purchased cryptocurrencies only for trading purposes. The taxation procedure for a natural person will also be explained, including the completion of a tax return. On specific examples will be explained detailed accounting and taxation procedures for digital currencies from two perspectives.

Variance structure of the Bitcoin currency
Pátek, Martin ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Skuhrovec, Jiří (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to explain how Bitcoin works, analyze the Bitcoin total variation and to separate the jump component of realized variance from the continuous part. In order to do so, we use estimates of quadratic variation and integrated variance. We detect jumps using a test which is based on the difference between realized variance and bipower variation. The results for BTC/USD exchange rate are then compared with the results for EUR/USD exchange rate, price of gold and for the S&P 500 index. In case of all datasets, we use data with five-minute frequency. It seems that no other work analyzing the Bitcoin total variation using the same methods to separate the jump component from the continuous part of a price process has been written so far. We found that jumps in the Bitcoin total variation are stronger than for other analyzed instruments. The results also suggest that the duration between jumps for Bitcoin considerably prolonged during the monitored period which may indicate that the behavior of price of bitcoin has stabilized over time. We also found out that the variance of price of bitcoin is higher during the monitored period in comparison with other analyzed instruments. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Bitcoin - history, present, and prognoses
CHVOSTOVÁ, Petra
The aim of this thesis is to familiarize the reader with the problematics of the theoretical background of cryptocurrencies from the historical perspective, focusing on the concepts of B-money and Bit gold, which were the basis for the creation of Bitcoin. The main part is devoted to this decentralized cryptocurrency called Bitcoin. It introduces Bitcoin's main milestones, the Bitcoin Foundation, the functioning system itself, and eventually Bitcoin's prospects for the future. The aim of the second part of this thesis is to develop a simple and clear system for selecting a wallet as the storage of bitcoins. What should be decided by a person who considers holding his own bitcoins. Here is used a compairing method of selected criterias. Criterias are compared based on the prerequisite that the priority for selection is mainly the bitcoin wallet. For the idea of how this wallet looks and works, the practical part also includes a sample of two selected wallets, based on the comparison of criterias, and the transfer of one dollar between them. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to process the comparation of selection procedur for use by ordinary users.

Bitcoins: Inception of New Era in Monetary Policy?
Vít, Ondřej ; Doležal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Sunega, Petr (referee)
This work presents an economic analysis of virtual currency and a system of payment known as Bitcoin. From many goals of this work, the main is to answer a question, whether the Bitcoins are to cause revolution at financial markets. To solve this I applied theoretical knowledge of Austrian school on the Bitcoin currency. Given this facts it has turned out, that the nature of Bitcoin truly is revolutionary. However, it would be wrong to assume, that the Bitcoins are to actually spark significant changes in current monetary system. For a better understanding of all circumstances, the development of an exchange and the evolution of money was involved in this work. From an economical perspective, it is obvious, that the Bitcoins certainly are a new kind of currency that flows beside money but also cannot replace it. It is the specificity of the system what creates barriers preventing Bitcoins from becoming more widespread and used more often. The benefits of this thesis lie in a complex economic analysis of Bitcoin currency and a prediction of its future development.
