hide assets with a publicly traceable and immutable ledger? you'd have to be a complete idiot to try that. Bitcoin is useless as a store of value if everyone can see how much you hold, where you acquired it, and how you've spent it..

but yes, there are other (actual) cryptocurrencies* that don't broadcast every detail about your transactions, which can be used for that.

*crypto- comes from the Greek kryptós, meaning “hidden.”
