Abstract

Btcoin has made a big progress through anonymity, decentralized authority, sharing economy, multi-ledger book-keeping, block-technology and the convenient financial vehicle. Bitcoin has the characteristics of mining and supply by decentralized suppliers, limited supply quantity and the partial money-like function as well as gold. The paper studies the hedge and safe-haven of Bitcoin and gold on daily frequency data over the period of July 20, 2010-Dec. 27, 2017 employing Asymmetric Vector GARCH. It finds that gold has the hedge and safe-haven against inflation and capital markets while Bitcoin has the weak hedge and the weak safe-haven. It shows insignificant effects of inflations of US and Korea on the volatilities of Bitcoin and gold. It also suggests the necessity of clearing of vagueness behind the anonymity for fair and transparent trade through the law application in the absence or fault in law (Lucken im Recht). following the spirit of the living constitution (lebendige gutes Recht oder Vorschrift). The relevant institutions are hoped to be given some of obligations such as registration, minimum required capital. report, disclosure, explanation, compliance and governance with autonomous corresponding rights. The study also suggests the reestablishment of the relevant financial law and taxation law. The hedge would not be successfully accomplished without the vigilant cautions of investors.

암호화폐는 익명성, 분권성, 공유성, 다중 분산원장 기재원리와 블록체인 기술의 특성을 지니고 있어 간편 신속 저렴성으로 지급결제수단의 기능을 수행하여 왔다. 비트코인은 비중앙 기관이 채굴 공급주체이고, 공급량이 제한되어 있고, 일부 화폐적인 기능을 수행하여서, 금과 매우 유사한 특성을 가지고 있다. 본고는 물가와 자본시장에 대해서 헷지와 안전처 기능과 관련하여 비트코인과 금에 대해서 정량적으로, 2010. 7. 20.~2017. 12. 27., 1943 일별 자료에 대해 비대칭적 다변량 벡터 GARCH 모형으로 분석하였다. 금에서는 물가(CPI), 주식(SP500), 환율(UKUS, KOUS)에서 강한 헷지와 안전처 기능이 추정되었다. 비트코인에서는 약한 헷지와 안전처 기능이 존재하는 것으로 추정되었다. 변동성 식에서는 미국과 한국의 인플레이션은 비트코인과 금에 대해 유의하지 않은 것으로 추정되었다. 본고는 공평성 확보를 위해 익명성의 불투명성을 해소하고, 시대의 변화에 부응하고 생동하는 헌법관에 기초하여 법의 흠결 보완이 이루어져야 함을 밝히고 있다. 유관기관에게 등록 보고 설명 준법감시 의무와 권한의 명확화를 기하고, 세제와 금융 관련 법규를 보완 개정하는 것이 이용자 보호의 강화와 전자거래의 발전에 도움이 됨을 시사하고 있다. 이와 더불어 반드시 투자자의 세심한 리스크 관리가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
