Fiat currency is traceable. Still, scammers and other bad guys are doing their business quite easily using fiat currency without getting traced. Scammers along with other legitimate crypto users will find another way of doing business in this domain. There is no way we can block them.
its a common misconception that bitcoin and other pseudo-anonymous crypto is untraceable
you are right , you have much better chances to go unnoticed stealing cash , bitcoin has been long ago traced by the likes of Chainalysis , Elliptic or Cipher trace
they are working with the authorities and ISP and VPN must give them info they request , do not be fooled by the "totally anonymous " and no logs claims by the way
scammer will always be present , it is the humans nature - where there is money there will be people who want to take them from you
sometimes I am amazed by the amount of attention this aspect of the cryptocurrencies is getting , as if there is nothing else to be discussing about it
fiat related crimes happen million times more often , yet every single incident with bitcoin is somehow news worthy
