Anonymity is the one thing cryptocurrency does not do well. It's much harder to sieze but much easier to trace.

Ethereum does it just fine
Maybe I should have said naturally rather than well. It's true that if privacy is your focus you can implement a Blockchain that achieves it, but at it's core Blockchain is a ledger of transactions that anyone can audit- privacy is not a natural outcome of that technology.

Which IMHO is a positive - no private transactions means corruption gets much harder, and that's always been a core selling point of the technology to me.

Tell me the US president's wallet address and how many payments have been in received. Try.
