Blood on the Blockchain: Crime in the Age of Crypto The technology that promised to democratize money has instead weaponized it for humanity's worst actors. When Bitcoin was launched in 2009, its anonymous creator envisioned a revolutionary financial system free from government control and corporate manipulation. Fifteen years later, that vision has become a nightmare. Criminals have stolen over $200 billion through cryptocurrency-enabled crimes. Ransomware attacks funded by crypto payments have shut down hospitals, killing patients whose life support systems were held hostage by criminals demanding Bitcoin. Terrorist organizations use privacy coins to fund attacks across the globe. AI-powered trading bots commit market manipulation at inhuman speed and scale. Blood on the Blockchain is the first comprehensive investigation into how the technology that was supposed to liberate humanity from financial oppression has instead created the most sophisticated criminal ecosystem in human history. Why This Book Matters Now Cryptocurrency crime isn't just about digital money, it's a preview of challenges we'll face with every powerful technology that combines decentralization, privacy, and programmability. The lessons from blockchain's collision with human nature will determine how we govern artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and other transformative innovations. The blood on the blockchain represents more than financial losses, it represents the human cost of technological development that proceeds without adequate consideration of social implications. This book documents that cost unflinchingly, but also points toward a path of redemption through reform, regulation, and moral awakening within the technology community.
