Description
TL;DR: A competition-law analysis asking how antitrust rules apply when Bitcoin’s miners, pools, developers, exchanges, and service providers operate across borders.
About This Document
S. Abdanan Mehdizadeh examines anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominance, mergers, mining concentration, hardware monopolies, algorithmic collusion, and enforcement. The paper uses Iranian legislation as a concrete legal framework while addressing Bitcoin’s global and pseudonymous market structure.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
The paper treats a 51% attack and selfish mining not only as protocol threats but as questions of market power. That legal angle is unusual and useful: who holds a dominant position, what counts as collusion, and which authority can act when the system itself has no central operator?
