Blockchain currency definitely isn't the solution if the problem is tracking or avoiding confiscation. 1) the blockchain is a permanent immutable log. Once you do tie and identity to an address every transaction ever is immediately available. 2) the key that is the currency resides as just numbers in a computer. Maybe you have yours on a hardware wallet in a fireproof safe. Most don't. Especially those launderers who are shuffling coin around.

There are other cryptocurrencies that (try to) solve problem 1), e.g. Monero.
