Autonomous Trucking Changing the Roads - Bitcoin is Very Traceable

<p><strong>[As Heard On WGIR WQSO WKXL on 2021-06-14]</strong></p> <p>Hey, we just found out that Bitcoin is very traceable. So I talked about that this morning, as well as what's happening with autonomous vehicles -- big announcement from Waymo and JB Hunt with Mr. Chris, Ryan, just this morning. Here we go.</p> <p>[00:00:16] <strong>Chris Ryan:</strong> [00:00:16] Joining us right now is Craig Peterson. He is the host of tech talk on news radio,610 and 96.7, 11:30 on Saturday and Sundays.</p> <p>[00:00:27] Craig, how are you?</p> <p>[00:00:28] <strong>Craig Peterson:</strong> [00:00:28] Hey, I am doing great this morning.</p> <p>[00:00:30] <strong>Chris Ryan:</strong> [00:00:30] So we've been teasing Bitcoin with your appearance today. And one of the major attractions to Bitcoin was that it was viewed by many as being untraceable, right? You couldn't tell where the money went. And it was used to as a method of payment that was not traceable by governments, not traceable by individuals or entities, but.</p> <p>[00:00:52] In the reporting that we saw on the colonial pipeline hacking Bitcoin was traceable. And a lot of that money, millions of dollars in fact, was retrieved from dark side. So how was it traced by the FBI? And is this something that signals to you that Bitcoin is in fact traceable and will be traced moving forward?</p> <p>[00:01:17] <strong>Craig Peterson:</strong> [00:01:17] I had a really interesting briefing that was given by the secret service. And this was a couple of years ago and they talked about how they went ahead and did trace Bitcoin. So we've been able to do it for a while. It's been a little difficult, but we've been working on it. What really surprised me this.</p> <p>[00:01:36] Time is the FBI has come out and given some serious detail on exactly what they did in order to track this Bitcoin. And in fact, a Bitcoin, wasn't a wallet in California. Not some foreign country and it's just fascinating to look at all the details, but yes, these cryptocurrencies are not completely untraceabl
