Abstract
This study attempts to investigate the time-varying long-term memory in the Bitcoin market through a rolling window approach and by employing a new efficiency index (Sensoy and Hacihasanoglu, 2014). The daily dataset for the period from 2010 to 2017 is utilized, and some interesting findings emerge that: (i) all of the generalized Hurst exponents in the Bitcoin market are above 0.5; (ii) long-term memory exists in the Bitcoin market; (iii) high degree of inefficiency ratio; (iv) the Bitcoin market does not become more efficient over time; and (v) rolling window approach can help to obtain more reliable results. Some implications for investors and policymakers are concluded.
