How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity
Laid up with a cold for the last few (cold) days I've had plenty of time…and motivation…to scounge around for some interesting reading. This one looks like a winner.
It's by Andy Greenberg and it's called Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency.
This is the story of the revelation in late 2013 that Bitcoin was, in fact, the opposite of untraceable—that its blockchain would actually allow researchers, tech companies, and law enforcement to trace and identify users with even more transparency than the existing financial system. That discovery would upend the world of cybercrime.Now available in paperback, digital, and audiobook versions, as well as hardcover.
