Could you elaborate on the possibility of tracing Bitcoin transactions on a blockchain? I've heard that blockchain technology offers a level of transparency, but I'm curious about the specifics. Are all bitcoin transactions publicly viewable? And if so, what information is typically revealed about a transaction? Additionally, are there any limitations or challenges in tracing bitcoin transactions, considering the anonymous nature of cryptocurrency? Understanding these details would help me better grasp the security and privacy implications of bitcoin transactions on a blockchain.

Indeed, Bitcoin transactions are recorded sequentially in a blockchain, analogous to the manner in which traditional banking transactions are documented.
