You are right, bitcoin is much better and it should be bitcoin without a doubt, people could have some sort of different approach to this and that's understandable, they may think that USDT is better because we grew up thinking that dollar is the best currency but the day is not the same day anymore and Bitcoin is much better and if you are young starting to save up bitcoin while growing up will be great, even parents starting to save up bitcoin for their kids on their name is even better.
Regarding the issue of dollar dominance, it does have a large level of influence among other fiat currencies, but this does not guarantee that the dollar can maintain the value of the currency we have in the long term because of the problem of depreciation. Bitcoin provides a solution as a store of value and we can take this opportunity as a good investment step for the future. In old age, everyone wants to live in peace and quiet from the pension they get. As long as they are still productive, trying to take advantage of Bitcoin investment is very appropriate because we can enjoy the results in old age. Especially if we are no longer able to work due to age problems and maybe that's when we just enjoy the investment returns from bitcoin.

I agree more with the statement that USDT is not much different from fiat, because from what has been seen it is quite clear that USDT is a coin whose value is not much different from fiat currency so it is only suitable for storing value. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is a coin which, with all its advantages, is more suitable for use in investment because of its greater increase in value, although every investor does not forget about the risks when owning it. So both have very different advantages and are not really worth comparing.
That's why holding USDT in the long term will be very different from holding bitcoin and everyone knows where the advantages of bitcoin lie if invested in the long term. There is no comparison between one another because each of them has different levels of advantages. The question is what can we pass on to the younger generation about the advantages of bitcoin and I prefer teaching this kind of thing when they can already be responsible for their lives. Teaching stablecoins to the younger generation is not a good idea because I personally don't think stablecoins are the future.

Regarding education, it should be more directed towards Bitcoin than USDT because Bitcoin has long been trusted by many people with very real benefits, whereas for USDT there is nothing that needs to be understood apart from its value which tends to remain like fiat currency. So education must be directed more towards Bitcoin than others because when the younger generation already understands how Bitcoin is, they will definitely seek their own understanding of other coins over time.
The education in question can be directed when they can understand the level of difference between the two and the idea may be able to explain how bitcoin has traveled from the beginning to the present. It is true that it is better to direct education specifically about Bitcoin rather than USDT because they can learn to compare the best assets which will then be placed in first place as the chosen investment step. If the education provided can be easily received by them then there is a possibility that they can also take a quicker approach because it is focused on the core points of what they are looking for.

And what's unique is that now when there is a shop or restaurant that wants to accept Bitcoin for payment, the shop or restaurant also wants to accept USDT as payment. This means that when Bitcoin starts to be accepted by many people in the world, of course USDT can also participate even though its use will not be as widespread as Bitcoin. And from what you said, I also see that when a country still doesn't accept Bitcoin in any case, USDT won't mean anything in that country either.
Although not many shops or restaurants accept bitcoin as legal tender because some countries limit bitcoin only as an investment asset. I think the connection you mean is when we try to convert bitcoin to USDT and then to the Fiat currency of each country (correct me if I'm wrong). If we talk about dollars, maybe we don't need them now because to buy and sell anything in real life we can use our own country's currency.
