The ledger being public doesn't necessarily mean anyone knows who "13LPtD4GG1XX7fgrze6xMR5V284rRQg9jv" is. But yeah, you can of course track the movement of funds, and make educated guesses on which addresses belong to who.

    Additionally, you can use a coin tumbler (I think that’s the term) where a bunch of strangers pool their coins for various transactions into one wallet that then distributes the coins to their end destinations, adding a layer of obscurity for which starting wallets are associated with which ending wallets.
