I have been using bitcoin successfully, and NO issues...Recently a friend of mine that it is not safe because it can be tracked. My friend
said that I should use MXR instead. Someone please provide some clarification. If I should convert to XMR or isthis guy exaggerating?!?

Several people have suggested options to protect your bitcoin assets and now it is your own responsibility to put in the required effort. Security is something that is quite important in bitcoin investment especially because it involves a large capital that we put in and will be quite detrimental when security is not considered properly. As far as I know Monero cannot be traced easily but transactions are recorded on the blockchain and you need to know that so that you can run it properly and not make mistakes.

If you intend to maintain privacy then you need to find a match according to your needs because security and privacy are two different things. I think there are many previous suggestions that you can learn so that it will provide much better security to use.

OP can combine the options presented to him or use something of his own after analyzing everything - and I hope he will be able to be sure of his future and privacy in the space.
