It&#x27;s not anonymous.  All transactions are trivially followable, up to an anonymizer.  But anonymizers have to eventually send the money to a destination, so their effect is pretty muted - just track the flow and user the resultant amounts to differentiate.<p>I think people look at bitcoin and hear &quot;crypto&quot; and immediately think opaque and unbreakable.  Neither are true, but first impressions matter a lot.
