That part of the article made no sense. Most crypto currency is entirely traceable. It's literally an immutable distributed ledger of every transaction ever made. Sure there are things like tumblers that try to redistribute coins, but who knows how well they actually work.

Depends on how you use it. If you own your own private keys and aren’t transacting from a hot wallet like Coinbase then yes your transactions are public but your identity is not tied to your address
