    There is a Tether in my wallet, because I am engaged in long-term investing

    There are a lot of stablecoins on the market now, and in addition to the most popular ones, I use gbpt as one of the most promising in my opinion.

    I use tether most often because it has more pairs with other cryptocurrencies

    Somehow, historically, I began to use only Tether and did not even consider other stable coins ...

    If there happens a single bank run on the so called stable coins, those coins won't be stable no more!

    There are reasons why USDT is so popular, including because it was the first.

    I respect your work mate...TA is all well and good but I find it truly baffling that all major crypto youtubers just look at pure TA and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as rosy as it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets.More emphasis should be put into day tradiing as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market.I have made over 13 btc 4rm day tradn with RONALD CUNG insights and signals in less than 4 weeks,this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish.

      @Bishal Sinha how what? I made two statements?

    • @pablopallavicini8492
      @pablopallavicini8492 2 роки тому +3

      @Bishal Sinha Regarding "scammy" I am referring to the problematic lack of assets to maintain a 1-1 exchange rate, several Stablecoin "providers" face. #Tether. In addition, shadowy legal frameworks and setup are at least problematic. There is also a case to be made for Stablecoin inflation being responsible for some of the price fluctuations of other crypto coins. But that would go too far. On the other side, USDC seems to work quite well, although I would be careful with the relatively high lending rates. What is sure, is uncertainty.

    Stable coins feed inflation because they aren't fully backed - they are more of the same medicine we already have had enough of - quantitive easing in other words.

    • @unlockwithjsr
      @unlockwithjsr 2 роки тому +1

      I don't think you get what stablecoins are, they are simply tokenization of currency, that means representing a currency digitally. So the problem of quantitative easing you need to take to the Fed.

    • @richardamullens

      @@unlockwithjsr I believe that the Tether and other stable coins aren't fully backed by the currencies they represent. So the company that made Tether is printing money that previously didn't exist.
