    The Nancy Guthrie Case And The Truth About Bitcoin

    This episode of Machine Dreams comes with a twist. We’re diving into the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, a story that’s dominated headlines and sparked fierce debate about cryptocurrency, crime, and public misconception. When news broke that the perpetrators demanded millions in Bitcoin, the narrative wrote itself: That crypto is anonymous, untraceable, and built for criminals. But that’s not how Bitcoin works. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, General Counsel at StarkWare, breaks down what most people get wrong. “Bitcoin isn’t anonymous,” she tells us. “It’s pseudonymous.” Every transaction lives on a public ledger forever. In addition, machine learning tools from companies like Chainalysis and Elliptic can trace crypto across wallets and exchanges with precision cash never offered. In other words, the technology people think helps criminals is actually what catches them. We also discuss how AI is changing crypto in ways most people don’t realize. Machine learning is now being used to hunt down criminal activity on blockchain networks, tracking patterns humans would miss. Katherine explains zero-knowledge proofs— a technology that could let companies use AI on sensitive data without ever seeing the actual information. And she breaks down why privacy, long confused with anonymity in crypto, is now the key to getting Wall Street fully on board with blockchain. Get more in this brand new episode of Machine Dreams.
