Bitcoin is generated by the people or organizations called miners. Those miners use computers having big computational power to solve difficult mathematical puzzles. The difficulty of the problems has risen exponentially. The total number of bitcoin that can be mined is 21 million and almost 18.5 million coins are already mined. Yet because of the surging difficulty of the mining problems, the last bitcoin is expected to be mined in the year 2140.

There are many arguing that bitcoin does not rely on real value. In 2010, Russian mathematician Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman announced that he had met the criteria to receive the first Clay Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture. However, he rejected the prize of one million dollars. Would you do the same?

Son faiz artışı ile birlikte, Türkiye en fazla reel faiz veren ülkelerden biri oldu. Ancak uzun zamandır direnilen faiz artışının hisse senedi piyasaları üzerinde olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri olacaktır.

Olumlu:
1- Merkez Bankasının enflasyon ile mücadele konusunda daha kararlı ve bağımsız davranacağı yönündeki açıklamalarını destekler bir sinyal oldu
2- Yüksek reel faiz portföy yatırımlarında kısa vadede bir artışa sebeb olabilir
3- Kurun dizginlenmesi, enflasyon tarafında bir iyileşme sağlayacaktır. Son açıklama ile TCMB de kurun enflasyon üzerinde en fazla etkisi olan faktor olduğunu kabul etmiş oldu.

Olumsuz:
1- Yüksek faiz şirket ve banka bilançolarını daha fazla bozacaktır
2- Hem kredi daralması hem de ekonomik büyümedeki yavaşlama bilançoların bozulmasındaki ana etkenler olacaktır.
3- Yükselen faiz hissesenedi piyasalarına yatırımın alternatif maliyetini artracaktır.
