Bitcoin ambiguity
Bitcoin ambiguity
Rationally justifying Bitcoin markets' huge price fluctuations has remained a persistent challenge for both investors and researchers in this field. A primary reason is our potential weakness towards a robust quantification of unquantifiable risks or ambiguity in Bitcoin returns. This paper introduces a behavioural channel to offer the degree of ambiguity aversion as prominent source of abnormal returns from investment in Bitcoin markets. Using daily data over a period of ten years, we show that in general, Bitcoin investors depict an increasing aversion to ambiguity. Furthermore, we find that Bitcoin investors earn abnormal returns only when ambiguity is low. Robustness exercise reassures validity of our results.

Abstract
Rationally justifying Bitcoin markets' huge price fluctuations has remained a persistent challenge for both investors and researchers in this field. A primary reason is our potential weakness towards a robust quantification of unquantifiable risks or ambiguity in Bitcoin returns. This paper introduces a behavioural channel to offer the degree of ambiguity aversion as prominent source of abnormal returns from investment in Bitcoin markets. Using daily data over a period of ten years, we show that in general, Bitcoin investors depict an increasing aversion to ambiguity. Furthermore, we find that Bitcoin investors earn abnormal returns only when ambiguity is low. Robustness exercise reassures validity of our results.
