I have a limited understanding of crypto as well, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems like it’s a combination of 1) It’s hard to trace a wallet back to an individual person and 2) The ledger is comprehensive and permanently public so you don’t know who’s doing the transactions, no one can alter those…
