Except a transactor in the ledger is hard to associate with an actual real person and/or location. You can trace the path BTC takes through different wallets, but working out who controls those wallets is harder. And it’s next to impossible for, for instance, law enforcement etc to hinder the flow of money, short of actually physically detaining the person controlling the wallet.
To an anonymous wallet.
Its actually quite difficult but it has been cracked by I think the NSA.
Plenty of places take bitcoin/other crypto as payment.
Afaik it was silk road which actually drove a large uptake in cryptocurrency.
If you want to buy anything illicit these days anonymously.
Its a vpn, the dark web and some shady cryptocurrencies.
The ones the authorities cant track quickly get banned from crypto exchanges here at least(or arent on them).
All economic wealth is illusory.
Crypto just makes it more obvious.

Boom!!!
My mate’s Son bought 3 Bitcoin when he was in his teens. Can’t remember his password now.
Needless to say we don’t mention Bitcoin when we visit his joint.

A similar story my older brother had a lot of them and had some stored in a hard wallet that he lost and the other found there way onto an online casino which he of course lost.
I can’t remember how many in total it was but I think at its peak it would have been around 10 million had he held them all

Bitcoin hit a new ATH of $99,300USD. Going to be insane if it cracks through the 100k here. My Solana doing quite well and hitting new ATH also. 
This is good

XRP has been going nuts. I remember that was probably the most popular coin on here a while ago.

Yeah, but I don’t know why XRP particularly.
In the last month Bitcoin has gone up 35%.
XRP has gone up over 260%.
Didn’t he say he’d give crypto the regulatory green light. A new SEC director likely ends protracted legal issues.
