In 2008, the world's first completely decentralized digital currency, Bitcoin was introduced by an unidentified programmer known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Although the Bitcoin market is fairly new in the industry, overall market capitalization has already reached 14,886,975 Bitcoins worth approximately 5.027 Billion US$ as of December 2015. The burgeoning usage of a novel currency subsequently motivates research on this phenomenon, especially centering on what affects Information Technology professionals to use the currency. The thesis addresses this particular issue by employing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to develop hypotheses on individuals' usage acceptance, and then test these by carrying out a survey. The empirical study took place over a 1 day period and collected 100 responses from Information Technology Security Professionals via a survey collected during the monthly meeting of the North Texas chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA). The results indicate that the factors significantly influencing the acceptance intention to use electronic monetary exchanges, mainly Bitcoin, include performance expectancy and effort expectancy. Furthermore, actual usage of Bitcoin is affected by facilitating conditions and behavioral intention. Interestingly, the obtained results do not support, in all cases, the original UTAUT model and the hypotheses that were derived from this model, thus suggesting modification of the model for the case of Bitcoin. Moreover, this outcome encourages future research to divulge the characteristics of Bitcoin that appear in other, similar technologies, for which the modified UTAUT model would have high explanatory power. The results of this research can be helpful to the various business sectors that are planning to use Bitcoin by listing the major factors influencing the success of implementation and suggesting improvements for better Bitcoin acceptance and adoption in the future.
