Bitcoin has always been easy to track, that is no news. I never used Monero, I know it's untraceable (I think) but I also know that many exchanges delisted it so it depends how you want to get that money out of the system. And the other question is: do you actually need something untraceable? Otherwise you may simply complicate your life.

And about tracking bitcoin, the other person needs to know about your transaction or knowing your wallet address otherwise there is no way to know who the owner is, you just have an address.
