It's easier to get bursted doing your crime using Bitcoin as your means of payment, it's only criminals with zero knowledge that will choose Bitcoin as their money for funding their crime.
Yes, but only if you are a novice and know nothing about how you can maintain your privacy when using Bitcoin. Ever heard about mixers? Now you can wonder why governments are so much against them.
Today we can know how much Trump Bitcoin wallet is worth, the more popular you are in this world the easier it is to figure your Bitcoin worth, unless you don't share your address at all, this is the only way your identity remain unknown.
You said it yourself at the end. It's not about how popular you are; it's about how open you want to be about your assets and whether or not you want the public to know how much you have, because if you don't share that information yourself, the general public won't know.
Who dares go to the bank and ask for a governer's bank account balance?
Let me tell you one thing. If you are either famous, have a high post in some government agency, or even in the government itself, have a lot of businesses and the public knows about them, expect everyone to know that you have wealth, and it doesn't matter for them to know how much exactly you have, so they don't need to confirm. That being said, if someone isn't publicly known to be wealthy, but does have money and have them in Bitcoin, saved in a non-custodial wallet with no connection with his identity whatsover, and if he doesn't publicly announce his wallet address or any other information, no one will ever know how much money he has.
