Dissecting bitcoin blockchain: Empirical analysis of bitcoin network (2009–2020)

Abstract: Bitcoin system (or Bitcoin) is a peer-to-peer and decentralized payment system that uses cryptocurrency named bitcoins (BTCs) and was released as open-source software in 2009. Unlike fiat currencies, there is no centralized authority or any statutory recognition, backing, or regulation for Bitcoin. All transactions are confirmed for validity by a network of volunteer nodes (miners) and after collective agreement is subsequently recorded into a distributed ledger "Blockchain". Bitcoin platform has attracted bot… Show more

“…It implies that the Bitcoin network is a scale-free network, in which only a few nodes have a large number of connections [21] while the majority of nodes are of low degrees and have fewer connections. This is consistent with the findings obtained by the research [7], [8] using complete real network data.…”

“…Refs. [6] and [7] initially explore the Bitcoin transaction network with a preliminary graph analysis while [8] provides the longitudinal network-based analysis of the Bitcoin systems. The study [9] analyzes the structure of the transaction network by measuring network characteristics, including the degree distribution, degree correlations, and clustering.…”

“…However, most studies in this area still overlooked detailed analyses of the network community structures. While extensive studies have been performed on blockchain networks such as Bitcoin ( Nerurkar et al, 2021 ) due to its long establishment, network analyses on Ethereum are quite limited ( Li et al, 2020 ). Such analyses could play a crucial role in wealth distribution, the network’s relational structure, and the link predictability from heterogeneous network data.…”

“…Already we know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning are popular methodologies for application in domains where data is available in text, audio, video, or speech formats [15,16,17,18,19,20]. AI and profound learning have brought perspective changes in medical care examination fields, for example, X-beam finding, EEG/ECG (Electroencephalography/electrocardiography) analysis, and so on Nonetheless, restricted accessibility of databases because of trouble in information assortment and marking have hampered the accomplishment of the cutting edge brings about hack conclusion [1,21].…”
