There's no problem with Haveno or Retoswap's wallet. The research shows about trades between Bitcoin and Monero.

Fiat trades are fine.

So: stick with Monero. It is a common misconception that swapping back and forth makes sense. If you want to store value, you should store it in the more secure Monero and, if you need to use BTC, exchange the required amount into BTC at the time of payment.

When exchanging BTC for XMR, it is a necessary evil that you have to use the BTC. But once you have exchanged them for XMR, you are on the safe side.
