Okay, if I'm understanding how transactions work, all transactions are public, as they need to be validated by the P2P network.
This seems to be a significant disadvantage, to say dollars, where no record of a transaction exists.
Am I missing something (that's what I'm assuming)? Or is having a list of all transactions viewed as a strength?
