IAPP published my op-ed today on “Why Bitcoin is Good for Law Enforcement.” In it I discuss how with every advance in technology, criminals are early adopters, and law enforcement has to play catch-up. Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology are just the latest examples. But the blockchain actually provides significant benefits to law enforcement in going after criminals, and I argue that effective law enforcement is critical to unlocking the potential of the blockchain to transform the way we live, work, and do business.
