It provides pseudonymity to its users by establishing identity using public keys as transaction end-points. These transactions are recorded on an immutable public ledger called Blockchain which is an append-only data structure. The popularity of Bitcoin has increased unreasonably. The general trend shows a positive response from the common masses indicating an increase in trust and privacy concerns which makes an interesting use case from the analysis point of view. Moreover, since the blockchain is publicly available and up-to-date, any analysis would provide a live insight into the usage patterns which ultimately would be useful for making a number of inferences by law-enforcement agencies, economists, tech-enthusiasts, etc. In this paper, we study various applications and techniques of performing data analytics over Bitcoin blockchain from a graph theoretic perspective. We also propose a framework for performing such data analytics and explored a couple of use cases using the proposed framework.  \nIndex Terms—Bitcoin, blockchain, analysis, clustering, anonymity, de-anonymization  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nBitcoin is a decentralized digital currency on top of an immutable distributed ledger called Blockchain [1], involving a large number of participants in a peer-to-peer network who validates and certifies the transactions. The development of Bitcoin was motivated by the growing distrust in the current banking system as well as the need for privacy in the digital world. Bitcoin with its cryptographically backed security, ease of access, minimal transaction costs, minimal setup requirements soon grew up in popularity and is today being considered by many governments as an acceptable form of currency.  \nAccording to a report by Statista [2], the number of Blockchain wallets has been growing since the creation of the Bitcoin virtual currency in 2009 and it has reached awhopping 35 million by the end of March 2019 indicating the rising popularity of the cryptocurrency. The rising trend well coincides with the rise in privacy concerns among common masses with the heavy penetration of the Internet and its services.  \nBitcoin is often termed as a double-edged sword [3] owing to the fact that while it ensures the anonymity of the users'identity, it exposes their transactions to the whole world. The transaction data of each and every transaction right from the  \nbeginning of the blockchain is available at every machine running the Bitcoin client locally on their systems. Such an arrangement provides individuals with scope to analyze the data for various use cases. The paper is an effort towards identifying these use cases.  \nBlockchain analytics specifically of Bitcoin blockchain can provide insight into a variety of economic indicators, illegal activities, general internet security, etc. These, in turn, can unravel other socio-cultural trends by virtue of transitivity or other inference methodologies. For example, a certain kind of tagged services in a particular period would signify the popularity of the service which might be an indicator of lifestyle changes. Illegal drug supply is an example of such a service.  \nThe paper starts with a brief background of cryptocurrency in Section II. Following section III talks about various ways to analyze Bitcoin's blockchain data. Then in section IV, we propose a about a generic framework that could be used for analysis purpose. In section V, we discuss the results of a couple of","cbCaicLgAjCbV4tp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicLgAjCbV4tp","pdf",333491,"English","# Introduction\n## Background\n## Bitcoin: A New Mix\n# Applications and techniques for Bitcoin data analytics\n# Proposed graph-theoretic framework\n# Experiments and results\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"How does Bitcoin provide pseudonymity and where is transaction data stored?\",\"answer\":\"Bitcoin uses public keys to set transaction endpoints, enabling pseudonymity.
