If somebody wants to go after you and your BTC, they will go after you
and they will be able to connect the dots if you don't put an XMR "link" in between. thanks to Strong AI and tools that are provided by firms like
chainalysis that are used by big exchanges and LEOs like Europol.
however this is the same Europol that can't track
monero despite their efforts in doing so lol, and believe me these are not my word mate, these are the words of a
Europol officer who confessed that they cannot track monero.
So, I will say it over and over and over again. XMR/monero is superior in every single way. Fullstop.
