It&#x27;s factually incorrect to say that transactions are untraceable.  Every single transaction is logged on a public ledger.  The only difficulty lies in establishing that a particular address belongs to a particular entity.  KYC&#x2F;AML does help in a large way in this regard.<p>However, even with this difficulty, it&#x27;s still easier than tracing cash payments to a particular entity.  If I pay someone in cash, under the table, good luck proving the cash was ever mine.  I would wager the government would prefer criminals conduct their business in bitcoin.<p>If you don&#x27;t like cryptocurrencies, thats fine, don&#x27;t use them.  I&#x27;m just asking that you do not misrepresent them with half truths in some fruitless attempt to show they are flawed when compared to cash.
