Bitcoin: WannaCry’s Curse or Blessing? (Video: Oneconsult Talk)

Bitcoin is a digital currency which allows for pseudonymous transactions while not being regulated by banks or any other central entities – properties which make it popular among honest users and cyber-criminals alike.

However, contrary to many people’s beliefs, Bitcoin is not anonymous.
