No one who understands bitcoin ever thought it was untraceable.

In the early days it was really common to place messages in the chain.

There are literal marriage proposals among these message.

I even considered the main benefit to be that it was super traceable.

I once tracked some stolen crypto trough multiple Wallets and exchanges to find the one wallet where those hackers where keeping all the spoils.

Granted the owners of a wallet aren't public and thats a form of anonymity but surely intelligence agencies can figure it out.
