Talk safest coin to use talk BTC to which monero is just a hype. But if you wish to try XMR you're free, probably when you test both you'll know which is better, which can't be any order than bitcoin.
I don't agree that Monero is a hype, Monero is a great cryptocurrency, especially for privacy and other features it offers, like low fees, etc. Both BTC and Monero are great to use, it depends on what you are looking for as a crypto person. Op is surely wrong with their understanding of BTC, because pseudonymity does not mean 'unsafe', and in case they do not know, your cryptocurrency is only as safe as the device you store it in and your opsec.
