Because blockchains are typically public, anyone can view the contents of transactions by querying a node or block explorer site (such as Etherscan.io or BitRef.com). By using common-spend clustering algorithms, it is possible to map the transactions of certain entities on the blockchain. [7]
Blockchain.info was established by Ben Reeves in 2011. He launched a website which could be used to track bitcoin transactions.
