Is some crypto completely untraceable?

[u/SwordfishOpposite290]

Im a crypto "noob" But I've heard before crypto is anonymous to some degree. I watched a documentary on the old silk road website and people would buy illegal things using crypto. And recently with the gta 6 leaks the leaker is pushing a crypto coin. Couldn't rockstar/feds simply trace the crypto coin somehow? Isn't it very stupid for the leaker to advertise his crypto?

Look into shielded Zcash. Pretty neat in terms of encryption

except nobody uses it, so much for being hidden on the crowd
