  Bitcoin Investigations: Evolving Methodologies and Case Studies

  Bitcoin is a decentralized

  pseudonymous

  virtual currency which has been linked to many nefarious activities

  such as money laundering

  ransomware demands

  and the purchase of contraband goods and services. Although it has many redeeming features such as low transaction costs

  no charge-backs

  and service to the world’s 2.5 billion unbanked

  the public has become aware of Bitcoin through spectacular news stories of corruption and criminal activities. Techniques to investigate Bitcoin and to identify its users are therefore required to enforce laws and protect the public. This paper discusses what Bitcoin is and how it works

  and explores various investigative methodologies to perform Bitcoin network analysis

  transactional analysis

  and wallet analysis. Finally

  this paper discusses emerging issues and suggests areas for improvement with the goal of gaining general acceptance of investigative techniques for admissibility as scientific evidence in courtroom testimony.\n
