Thank you so much!! And Yes. 100% this.
I should also caution that because Shapeshift’s data is open, anyone can record all transactions that move through there. So adjusting the size of your transactions from BTC --> XMR --> BTC will help with anonymity. Lastly, the amount of traffic Shapeshift moves is relatively small compared to the exchanges. Few months ago, I believe it was only $1M/day, as opposed to exchanges like Bitfinex that as of the last 24hrs, moves $721M/day in just BTC. So don’t try to move millions at a time. You’ll look funny and might break their API.
