Njengoba kungasadingeki ukuthi ube uchwepheshe wezobuchwepheshe ukuze usebenzise i-crypto, abasebenzisi abaningi abasha abazweli kangako kubumfihlo bolwazi kunama-hardcore techies ayebusa i-crypto ezinsukwini zokuqala. Le ncwadi kufanele isebenzele ukubavusa esidingweni sobumfihlo be-crypto.

Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi uqinisekile yini ukuthi umkhiqizo wawo ngeke usetshenziselwe ukugada izakhamuzi ezivamile futhi ucindezele ababhikishi bamalungelo abantu, izimpendulo ze-Chainalysis CEO zibonakala zingenangqondo.
