I’m on the newer side to crypto, just want to say that first.
Tether always stays between .99 and 1.01. How, I don’t know. With it never really changing in price, why not convert your cryptos to tether to avoid losses when the market is crashing?
It is a stable coin it always stays there. There were rumours about it (that they print more usdt to make speculations-pumps) but I think they're cleaned.
So why not, if you can sense the dump you can sell to usdt and wait to buy again at the dip. However, whenever I sell something (thinking it won't rise more) it moons. When I don't sell something it crashes. And this happens to everyone
so don't be upset if the coin you sold makes +50% after you sell.
Sell high buy low is the point but you generally cannot do it.
