Can I Buy Bitcoin in Turkey?

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, without a central bank or single administrator, that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.

Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.

NOTE: WARNING: Purchasing Bitcoin in Turkey is illegal. Any attempt to purchase Bitcoin in Turkey may result in criminal prosecution and/or financial penalties. It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to buy, sell, or trade Bitcoin in Turkey.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.
