but from the point of view of the payers (the employer) it is not a good thing because they would have to spend actual money to pay you whereas when they pay you in their own token, they are not spending ANYTHING at all since they created that token out of thin air without spending anything! so it is worth a lot more to them if they paid you in shit rather than paying you in real money (or anything with actual value like tether) where they have to buy it first.
I disagree with you in part
Payment with USDT will not affect the project owners
significantly because the total prizes do not exceed 5% at best
But the effect would be a deduction from the power of Token because
they did not give the prizes by tokens as a sign of distrust.
