Bitcoin — the global “ownerless” money — is becoming a common currency used in many commercial transactions, growing beyond just being an investment instrument that often makes headlines for its rapid appreciation. Although it has no legal basis in any country, the use of bitcoins has been increasing globally, including in Turkey, where an extensive online infrastructure is already in place.
Its daily value can be tracked on platforms such as btcturk.com, coin-turk.com, paribu.com and koinim.com. Some of those sites function as 24-hour money markets.
