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?!?

your friend doesn't seem to really understand how bitcoin works and how it can be said to be pseudonymity. all transactions on the bitcoin network are recorded on the blockchain, meaning that everything is tracked, but as long as you don't use a centralized exchange that uses KYC, doesn't use repeated addresses, and uses the TOR network, it's completely safe and secure. so what your friend said was an exaggeration, and you don't need to switch to monero just for that reason alone.

Agreed through and through.
If there is no centrilized entities at place or something like illegal activities plus centrilized entities - everyone is good to go without XMR and be secure. In a privacy sense too, though XMR gives a bit more in that department.
