The DOJ seized $3.6 billion [in bitcoin] and arrested a husband and wife

The whole fact that 3 billion can be directly connected to a single person _is_ pretty ridiculous. And the rest of the story was - chef's kiss

So much for the idea that blockchain transactions are “untraceable”. That spiral graph hurts my head though.

Eh? The concept of "public ledger" says exactly the contrary. You need many wallets and extra technology (like "bitcoin mixers") when you want to make it harder for your transactions being linked to you.

Other payments include Walmart gift cards, as well as payments from Uber, Hotels.com and PlayStation, according to charging documents. Because the funds were confiscated under a court order, a judge will ultimately decide how to distribute the recovered funds, and the government will seek to return the funds to their rightful owners, U.S. officials said. “We have cooperated extensively with the DOJ since it began its investigation and will continue to do so,” Bitfinex said in a written statement. The company pledged to “follow due legal process establishing our right to return the stolen bitcoins.” Bitcoin, the most popular form of cryptocurrency, is computer code generated by publicly available software that allows people to store and send value online. Open source code originated with Bitcoin more than a decade ago and runs on an extensive network of private computers around the world. The value of cryptocurrencies is usually expressed in U.S. dollars and is determined by public transactions conducted by exchanges; these values can fluctuate significantly. Bitcoin hit a high of around $69,000 in early November before plummeting to around $35,000 last month. It has recovered somewhat and is currently trading around $43,000, according to CoinMarketCap.

Yes I am, and it is still ridiculous. Elon didn't personally make all of the EVs, or pour the pavement, lay the foundations, create the buildings, do the sales, and everything else that was necessary to make what he is credited for. He is simply a figurehead, and the fact that our system gives him a 'value' that is ridiculously above that of almost every other human on earth is downright stupid. What is even more disgusting is that he calls people pedophiles when they turn down his ideas that wouldn't have even helped. Watch [Debunking Elon Musk Pt1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-FGwDDc-s8) (and part 2) for a more detailed analysis of the narcissism at the heart of Elon.

He personally showed a combat vehicle where the windows got smashed. The figurehead of exploding tesla's? How is that tunnel going that he envisioned? It not even a competition. My dick is larger. --edit Also has nothing to do with BC.
