  So are you saying that Bitcoin is actually relatively traceable by law enforcement or the tax authorities?

    Yes, it is traceable. That's why when you buy bitcoin at an exchange the government requires that you prove your identity. Then it's just a matter of following the money through bitcoin's permanent public ledger. It's probably the most traceable currency ever. Even amateurs can follow the money trail.
