Abstract :
Blockchain is one of the new and transformative technologies that in recent years has created many opportunities in various fields, including financial issues, one of the most important of which has been formed in the field of cryptocurrencies. The emergence of the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies has brought with it ideas that have been able to create great changes in the economic system as a value-carrying element. The attitude of the countries of the world towards the use of cryptocurrencies has led to the adoption of different scenarios in the face of this phenomenon, such that these positions have varied from the recognition of cryptocurrencies to a complete ban. The purpose of this applied research, which is of a mixed type (quantitative/qualitative), is conceptualization and also to help decision makers and policy makers to understand the scenarios of using cryptocurrencies in the Islamic Republic of Iran. For this purpose, in addition to collecting the required information through the library and field method, the key goals and approaches that can be proposed regarding cryptocurrencies in various political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental dimensions from the collection of upstream documents, approvals and published requirements. It has been extracted and while paying attention to the concerns of the country and obtaining the opinions of experts through semi-structured interviews, different scenarios of the use of cryptocurrencies have been determined based on the aforementioned goals, and finally, the requirements and suggested solutions for their success have also been presented. It is worth noting that the proposed framework is merely a presentation of a set of goal-oriented scenarios and any technical and implementation details have been avoided. It should also be mentioned that the sampling method for conducting this research was a purposeful, judgmental and snowball type, which continued until theoretical saturation and reached fifteen participants.
