Blockchain, Crypto Currency and Scams
Blockchain concepts have emerged to support many functions over time. One of these is crypto currency. Recently ATM type devices have been installed that will transform cash into crypto currency. Recently scam artists, often criminal gangs operating at scale on a global basis, have started to use these to obtain money from their 'marks'. We will look at the basic concept of blockchain and why this provides a secure form of transactions and data retention. The application to crypto currency, and related, but significantly different application to meme coins and other digital objects will be considered. Finally the abuse of these to support illegal transactions via "ATM" style kiosks will be discussed.
