glossary<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #444; line-height: 1.7;\">The entries in this crypto glossary are written in a fixed order, and that order is deliberate. Each term starts with what it means, then what it may indicate in a concrete situation, and finally how it is recorded when a finding has to hold up for a bank, an authority or a court. That last part is what usually decides whether a term is of any use to you. Knowing that a mixer breaks a direct link matters far less than knowing what can still be said about a route that runs through one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444; line-height: 1.7;\">Terms are grouped by the question they belong to rather than alphabetically, because that is how they come up in practice. Someone who has lost money starts with tracing and cash-out points, an accountant starts with valuation and origin, and a lawyer starts with evidential value. You can therefore read a whole category and end up with a coherent picture, or look up a single term you ran into in a statement or a report. Where two terms are easy to confuse, the entry says so explicitly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444; line-height: 1.7;\">One warning belongs in a crypto glossary as well. Plain definitions can make a technical field look more certain than it is. On a blockchain a great deal is visible, but almost nothing is self-explanatory: an address is not a person, a pattern is not proof of intent, and a stopped route is not always the end of a story. Every entry here tries to mark that boundary rather than hide it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pterm-src\" style=\"background: #f4f6fb; border-radius: 12px; padding: 18px 22px; color: #3a4152; line-height: 1.7; margin: 22px 0 8px;\"><span class=\"lbl\" style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: .72em; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .08em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #5a6b8c;\">External source<\/span><span style=\"display: block; margin-top: 8px;\">The UK national fraud reporting service maintains an A to Z of fraud types, written for people who have just been affected and need to know what they are dealing with. It is a useful companion to this glossary, because the same scheme often has different names in the media, in a police report and in casual conversation.
