Amazon patents method for tracking Bitcoin transactions and selling data to govt
- gamblor956 8y agoThis patent will be struck down as soon as it's challenged. Business method patents are generally no longer valid after Alice, and it's shocking that the patent examiner approved this patent. Among other issues, the text of the patent itself doesn't even claim a specific process, it merely suggests general processes for tracking and correlating Bitcoin transactions.
