We are indeed the tough times of trading or investment in cryptocurrency. After the ATH of Bitcoin last year, we are now at the stalemate at 10K USD mark for almost 2 weeks and no sign of going up. I was thinking to hold for as long as I can since I believe in crypto.
If you’re at the losing position what is the best thing to do?
How does Tether protect you from cryptocurrency volatility?Tether moves across blockchain easily much like any other digital currencies. Tether currency isn’t money but they’re digital tokens designed to work on blockchains. It holds their value at 1:1 ratio to the underlying assets.
In order to keep your cryptocurrency safe and to lock in gains without bearing loss, there are two options:
1. Keep moving the money to another cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. When you gain after investing in one cryptocurrency you want to take an advantage of another cryptocurrency. Not moving ahead from the cryptocurrency that has already given you enough gains, is a type of risk. For example, if you look at some of the coins, the prices are dropped by almost 50% after a certain period of time due to the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market.
In Tether there is an opportunity to earn. Where the Tether hold 1:1 (1 USDT is equal to 1 USD, at all times).
So, to keep moving your gains from one cryptocurrency to another would be much better than bearing the loss.
2. Transfer the money to your own bank account.There are enough possibilities for the price to fall as rapidly as it rose before. So, it becomes a primary concern to stay safe and profitable.
However, ETH-USD is pulling itself to reach $480, so we can take an advantage of this opportunity.
If you sell BCH-USD and transfer the money to your bank account, then it can take several days before you can execute another cryptocurrency trade. Let’s take one example: If you buy Ethereum through Coinbase and move it to a different exchange to trade for other cryptocurrencies, this process from a Coinbase will take 3 - 4 days to complete a transaction and again if you want to buy BCH-USD, and again it will take 3 – 4 days to complete a transaction.
Yes, it's time-consuming but one of the best ways to stay safe.
