Could you elaborate on the extent to which law enforcement agencies are capable of tracing Bitcoin transactions? Given the decentralized nature of the blockchain and the anonymity it provides, does this mean Bitcoin is completely untraceable? Or are there methods and techniques that the police utilize to potentially identify and track down the origin and destination of Bitcoin funds? Are there any specific legal frameworks or international agreements that facilitate this process? Additionally, what are the challenges and limitations in tracing Bitcoin, and how do they differ from traditional fiat currency tracing?
