• Have you heard about Bitcoin, how it shot up? And about the fact that the newly elected US President Donald Trump can make Bitcoin a new reserve currency? That's it, the world is on the verge of serious geopolitical, structural and technological changes. And what does this mean? That whoever is the smartest and the most cunning will be able to live comfortably.
• I am sure that more and more financial transactions will go to crypto due to the lack of regulation and total control. And when the status of crypto is not just regulated, but legally defined, everyone who can will rush there. This will create a huge need for specialists who can conduct investigations of cryptocurrency transactions. This will be one of the most important areas in OSINT and forensics.
• Actually, for this I will show you a real classic of conducting an investigation with cryptocurrencies, which are used, probably, no probably, but definitely, by all sensible cryptocurrency researchers. This is BreadCrumbs. As you understand, the name is a reference to Andersen and his Hansel and Gretel. By the bread crumbs that transactions leave in the blockchain, you and I will be able to investigate the crimes of villains.
• What is so useful about this service? Firstly, it has a very convenient investigation management system. Like in a browser - a new investigation - a new tab. Secondly, unlike many other services, known nodes are subscribed here. Like this one is Binance, and this one is Kraken. Plus, summary statistics are given for all nodes. How many transactions have passed, what volume, and so on. Well, each node can be set for monitoring so that notifications are sent about all new transactions. But what is most impressive is the ability to find connections between two or more random addresses. Now this is truly top-notch. And I've only highlighted the most basic functions!
• So my good advice to you is to start studying cryptocurrencies. Along with studying neural networks, you will develop such competencies that any sane employer will snatch you up for a very, very large offer. So go for it! May the force be with you!
