Not all "blockchain" is the same (case in point, there are firms that do Anti-Money Laundering/Fraud and Counter Terrorism Funding activities which use lots of big data/ML stuff).

Disclosure: I work for one of those firms (CipherTrace) so I may have some bias, but really, this is the portion of the Fintech/Crypto spectrum I find acceptable.

Say hi to F. Steegmans (from the Mexican engineer guy who opened an office at his last gig). He is such a nice guy!

BTW I love what you guys are doing over there.

I worked with Steegmans at SugarCRM (he was the guy who brought me into CipherTrace)...small world indeed.

Thanks!

Interesting, I didn't know about this side of blockchain.

Always assume for anything that affects the economy at a macro level to eventually end up coming under the scrutiny of regulatory action (no matter how much ink is given otherwise) and that AML/CTF will be applied.
