Thank god i sold my portion before the drop.
What drop are you talking about?

I think he was talking about his pants because XC didn't drop  Grin
I guess.

I have a question.
Somebody told me that XC isn't anonymous, because you can track it, but with Monero you can't track it, can somebody explain the facts to me?

An earlier version of XC which didn't use the multi path tech was subject to a pattern matching analysis by Chaeplin which he said broke the privacy. This was controversial because it was unclear and led to much arguing. Technically the privacy wasn't broken imo.

When version 2 of XC came out with multi path, that pattern matching no longer worked and no-one has cracked XC.

I believe when XC reaches version 3 there will be a bounty issued to prove that the the privacy is strong.

Other things such as IP obfuscation, stealth addresses so you can receive payments to your "real" address without the sender knowing and more is on the way.

Synechist, one of the XC team, would probably answer this 100 times more eloquently than me, but that should give you a picture.
