> "The exchange’s system lets people see which anonymous wallets received cryptocurrency, but in the case of Monero, recipient addresses and transaction amounts remain secret and the trail is severed." > The way this reads makes it seem like the Shapeshift exchange is intentionally hiding something in order to facilitate criminals. This is negligent journalism deliberately written for you to form a particular opinion about cryptocurrencies in general. The Monero payment network doesn't publicly reveal recipient addresses and transaction amounts? This is a feature. the real story is in the comments.
