It's actually fairly common to see people saying that they use Monero to break their Bitcoin transaction history. How effective that is depends on how they did it.

Naively going i.e. 2.3345 BTC -> XMR -> 2.3345 BTC quickly and all in a single transaction won't hide anything

I never heard anyone talk about it.

Sure I can imagine you should swap several UTXO grouped by address over some hours/days, then swap out several UTXO in various address also some hours/days later.

The main risk I guess is XMR loosing value during the operation but beside that, is it better or worst than Coinjoin on Bitcoin?

I would love to read technical article about it.

Yea exactly that would be the correct way to do it

Loosing a little value is always a risk, but it would be just as likely to gain value too on those short time frames. Kind of evens out if you always do it.

I actually decided to play around with coinjoins again several weeks ago. Ended up spending like $20 or so for a couple mixes. Then a few days later I see some major vulnerability drop affecting WabiSabi and Whirlpool protocols and the coordinators being able to deanonymize participants that was never fixed. Kind of lost interest again after that lmao. Seems like JoinMarket is the only other one, but I'm not that familiar with it, and I hear it has other issues.

Additionally, the risk of getting “tainted” btc ain’t no joke
