I don’t want to nerd out but the summary mentions bitcoin, while I think monero is what is used for the dark net these days. Bitcoin is considered pseudonymous but monero was actually designed for privacy.
For sure. The book’s epilogue talks about the changing crypto landscape and notes Monero. It more or less says that law enforcement is making strong progress on tracking those transactions as well. I don’t know if that’s law enforcement puffing its chest or if it really is and declined to give details.
Oh, I’d love to see that happen.
We need more clusterfucks caused by AI, until people shut the fuck up about it.
Crypto was more of a fiction than AI and it’s somehow still around. How many times can the same ponzi scheme collapse?
There are valid uses for cryptocurrency though, most notably buying illicit substances.
Eh, even then it’s more traceable than people think. If you’re average Joe, you’re fine. But I wouldn’t want to be a dealer or anything.
This book is good. https://www.amazon.com/Tracers-Dark-Global-Crime-Cryptocurrency/dp/0385548095
