I do like the story, thanks for sharing. The ledger is open and transparent and immutable. A pretty interesting area of research. I am curious what other historical details of interest it holds. As just one example, a researcher could compute the total volume of Silk Road transactions ever done. Or inflows and outflows to the major exchanges like MtGox, Binance, Coinbase and now River. This is probably exactly the kind of work Chainalysis does, among other things...
