I must admit I'd be skeptical about how private electric transactions can be made. It might come down to how expensive the forensic are compared with the value of the transaction? Bitcoin transactions have been traced - everything on the bitcoin ledger is visible it's just that much of it is obfuscated using encryption. We still don't know how the FBI managed to recover a substantial part of the Colonial Pipeline ransom. The official statement notes they reviewed the public bitcoin ledger. Ok, they'd be able to see the transaction flows through and destinations on the internet but it doesn't explain how they decrypted the bitcoin wallet. Various rumours suggest either they'd seized a device containing the key during another operation or there was an informant, or the criminals were careless with protecting their own data. If this government said your "Britcoin" transactions were untraceable would you believe them, or trust the trechnology? ??
