We are already spending billions upon billions spying and monitoring the American people. I’m betting we can turn a bit of that onto tracking investments.
I mean, we already do. It’s not all that effective afaik? Preventing foreign ransomware from extracting money from american(-businesse)s via bitcoin is clearly within the state’s mandate and incentives, has reliable bipartisan support, and seems like a pretty similar situation. We can’t track and protect funds on a public ledger as it stands, and journalists struggle to track PAC political funding. I’m not sure the spy-state is up to it tbh.
