I like XMR but “untraceable” is an overstatement and implies mathematical certainty, which doesn’t exist. A better description is that it’s computationally expensive to trace with no guaranteed outcome, which in practice is nearly as good, but isn’t the same thing as untraceable. Monero is definitely not the only one that delivers all 3 by default, nor does it have the strongest encryption. Monero’s real advantage is its ecosystem size, liquidity, and years of battle testing.

Finnish Customs seized Silkkitie's Monero and publicly stated they couldn't crack it. "Computationally expensive with no guaranteed outcome" is what winning looks like against an adversary with law enforcement resources and a financial incentive to break it.
if it is already difficult for them to decipher with ring signatures, would it be economic suicide to try to decipher the addresses of the wallets once FCMP++ is already in operation?
