Hello!

so i recently heard about the deep web, how it uses bitcoin and how the transactions made there are anonymus. to my current understanding of bitcoin every transaction is written in the blockchain and is known and can be seen by anyone. so my question is where is the anonymus transaction written? and why can't you see it?

that is the issue, bitcoin is not anonymous!
there is an old mistake (that is fortunately disappearing these days) where people think bitcoin is anonymous and they can get away with everything.
bitcoin offers some anonymity but not as much as you hope for, specially if you do some illegal activity like  going in deep web and ....

additionally these days other coins such as Monero which are truly anonymous and are designed to be just that, are being used in deep web for these kind of shady activity.
