    The Blockchain Debate Podcast
    Vite COO Richard recorded a new episode of the Blockchain Debate Podcast. The theme of the debate is: “Blockchain analysis firms are bad for Bitcoin.” The guests this time include Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer of Human Rights Foundation, and Dave Jevans, CEO of CipherTrace, a blockchain analysis firm.

    Blockchain analysis firms assist the government in tracing on-chain money flows of criminals, and help financial institutions such as digital asset exchanges build out internal management systems that are compliant with local laws.

    This podcast helps Vite Labs export its brand to the world, and provides fruit for thought for the industry.
