I'd be interested in an analysis of exactly how effectively they can make use of two billion dollars in cryptocurrency. The real-world value is going to be significantly less but I couldn't tell you how much less. They could convert it into a harder currency but that would put it back under the same global economic restrictions as everything else. They could pay hackers with it but I suspect there's not a lot you can do with 2 billion in crypto you couldn't also do with 100 million in crypto.<p>Any professionals want to chime in?<p>>North Korea is funding its weapons program with stolen cryptocurrency<p>Konami is gonna be pissed reality spoiled the plot of the next Metal Gear Solid game.
