Well... yeah.

I'm sure no one that leans Libertarian ever decides to omit that step.

Or the second you buy anything with Crypto. Many crimes are actually solved the moment someone pays for something in e.g. bitcoin, cause the pesky thing about crypto is unlike cash, it keeps a ledger of all the transactions going forward. If they are tracking the money, and you spend it on ANYTHING intangible, the door is open to unwind the transaction right back to you.

I'd reasonably suspect the government is secretly involved in the development of a lot of crypto and ledgers for that reason...

...much like they are behind the creation, operation, and development of the tor network.
(which will come as a shock to a lot of people here) Yup, folks, the gov't funded somewhere between 85-95% of the development of Tor, and held weekly meetings with it's prime developers. Yup, we do that.

There are at least two mainstream cryptocurrencies designed to avoid the problem with tracking in the way that bitcoins can be tracked based on wallet numbers (oh, by the way, there are ways to deal with that, too.)

Off the top of my head, both Monero and ZCash are designed with that issue in mind.
