I get that some people like centralization, and like to invest into companies they do not know about, but I just can't do that. I prefer places that I know and coins I can trust. Dai is the coin I like to use in the defi world, these days I am purely on defi and do not have any money in the regular spot world, but even in the defi world sometimes we use BUSD, and I can do that with a bit better ease because I know binance and I trust them.

Who is tether? Why would I trust that company that I have never worked with before? This is why I am going to end up not dealing with usdt at all, I just have some 20 bucks on metamask on erc20 that is usdt, that was a payment someone sent me, I haven't been able to cash that out because of high ETH gas fee, but as soon as gas fee's drop, I will get rid of that and will not have any USDT, this wasn't something I wanted neither it was just payment they sent me and not my choice.

I agree that it is a stable coin but not the best, I am seeing other stable coins which have greater market competence and stability compare to tether. But don't get me wrong, tether is one of the good stable coin and have a potential in the market.
Then why do you say that "this is a stable coin but not the best" if in the last sentence you deliberately admit that "tether is one of the good stable coin and have a potential in the market"? wouldn't this kind of thing confuse other people ? Huh
I agree with the statement that tether is a stable coin but I am not agree that tether is the best stable coin. Don't be confuse with that. I am reading tether for the past few days that is why I can say that there are other stable coins that can overpower tether.

Currently, the USDT / USD rate is too high compared to other stable coins. USDT is the most popular stable with diverse trading pairs on many different exchanges. USDT is supported by a diverse range of blockchains and it can be said that people prefer USDT on TRON blockchain because of the low and fast transaction costs between centralized exchanges.
If I consider the past of USDT I would not agree with the view that this is the most stable. I prefer USDC even though they are only in Ethereum format.

I understand why you like Tether. It is still the most popular among all stablecoins and wildly used in trading pairs on different exchanges but, to say the truth, it’s not the best stablecoin at all. Here you can read a lot of info about some problems with Tether: https://www.forexcrunch.com/if-tether-falls-the-whole-cryptocurrency-market-could-go-down-with-it/#:~:text=Tether%20rules%20the%20market,from%20loans%20to%20third%20parties . The info is not new I thought all have already known about this.

I think it's only natural that USDT is the best stable coin, because USDT is a stable coin that first appeared, like bitcoin. but I personally think I prefer BUSD from Binance, because gas fees are very cheap and flat

Did you know, Tether (USDT) can be freeze by the smart contract + USDT is not really 100% (1:1) backup with the asset maybe only around 60% there also have some court result between Bitfinex & Tether they losed and have to pay a million dollars because of that.

Did really Tether is the best ? I guess not, there also have a slight down on Tether the price going to 0.7$ on some case you can check on price history Tether in Coinmarketcap.

Agree. Please keep that in mind.
OP best investment for what? I won't oppose the usage in businesses because of stability but as an investment, that's kind of absurd.
If you are just going to invest in USD then why not just choose banks?
That way, you won't have any reason to be afraid if ever Tether will move or not.
$0.01 of increase won't be that profitable. Maybe if its Bill Gates.

I agree that if Tether is the best stable coin until now, I do not say without reason. When comparing with other stable coins,
It is certain that Tether has the highest market cap and also Tether is listed on almost all the exchanges currently in circulation.
Based on my experience using Tether since 2017, I have never experienced major problems when making transactions. And it is proven
that Tether is also the most popular stable coins and most used by traders to avoid volatile prices in the crypto market.

Maybe for transfer or trading purposes, USDT is good.
But for long term holding, I am not confident on this stable coin.
As their actual assets is somewhat questionable to me.
For trading and transferring USDT is a good option because of the high volatility and mostly it is used for P2P trading as well and like you said i am also not confident in holding the coin for the long term because of the constant issues they land and the number of coins they mint during every bitcoin rally and i checked for the transparency and i could not find any and that is a problem moving forward.

Personally, I don't use stablecoins, just to collect profits from trading before investing them again in crypto... so one is as good as the other and usually chosen USDT because it is the most widespread.
I agree with you, USDT is the best choice because of its high volume and the most widespread, so you can transfer your money on an exchange to another exchange very easily and fast using USDT, then of course the cost is also very cheap if you transfer USDT using USDT TRC20 (blockchain from Tron) and the amount you transfer will remain stable (not increase or decrease, because USDT is a stable coin).

Maybe for transfer or trading purposes, USDT is good.
But for long term holding, I am not confident on this stable coin.
As their actual assets is somewhat questionable to me.
When they released the statement way back in 2019 that they were not fully backed by USD assets, it remains in my mind that what if they are not saying the truth today.
So I can't agree that USDT is the best stable coin out there. Just be cautious using any of these stablecoins.

Know that tether is now beyond bitcoin omini layer, tether is now also built on some other blockchains such as:

1. Omini layer that you mentioned, bitcoin blockchain
2. On ethereum blockchain, ERC2
3. On Tron blockchain, TRC20
4. Solana also support tether recently.

But there are many other good stable coins, and there are many better ones to come.

1. Dai
2. USDC
3. TUSD

And some others are safe to use also.

yes, one of them is BUSD, indeed for now BUSD can only be used on Binance exchange, but in my opinion BUSD is also very safe to use if you trading on Binance exchange, because BUSD has a very high volume on Binance exchange, but indeed by using BUSD then you can only use it on Binance exchange and cannot be used on any exchange, so if you are only trading on Binance exchange then I would prefer you to use BUSD, but if you are trading on any exchange then I would prefer you to use USDT, because USDT can be used on any exchange.

I also use Tether. Sometimes a case was filed in its name. I was afraid of what would happen next. But I saw that Tether won the case. It transfers very quickly from all other stable coins and the fee is much lower.

Like others in here already mentioned, we can not be quite sure that every USDT that is minted is backed by a real USD anymore.
In 2019 they said they have enough reserves to cover all the Tethers printed but they didn't show any proof for that.
USDC on the other hand is part of a big exchange and therefore gets audited and checked regularly and you can feel more secure about it in my opinion.

Tether USD is best for traders and people who don't take care of risks. USDT has biggest trading volume on the market and it is one of main trading pairs for cryptocurrency. Other stable coins have far journey to reach the success of Tether.
Pfft.

No matter how big volume pair of USDT, never take or hold any USDT i better to hold USDC from CoinBase ratter holding USDT because a simple reason already give us some reason why you should avoiding USDT:
- Asset can be frozen.
- Not 100% backup by a real asset.

When it comes to cryptocurrencies, the first thing that comes to our mind is Bitcoin and every other cryptocurrency is alt-coins. In that term, there are stable coins as the name suggests their price stays stable and has very low volatility which attracts investor and other users, Tether or USDT Omni which was launched in 2015 on Bitcoin blockchain via Omni protocol.

It is known as the king of stable coins because of its price which is all most equivalent to USD, which will catch the eyes of online businesses. With time as we all see other cryptocurrencies are gain more great growth, we can assume that Tether will also, and the real reason behind that is it has maintained its price and will grow potential in coming years.

Tether (USDT) has the largest market capitalization among all other stable coins, which indicates why you should choose USDT to invest in or even, start accepting as your payment for business, as it is backed by fiat currencies which makes it more trusted crypto coins. It has and will gains more and more popularity, with stable growth in its price which is a really good way to make money and also started accepting as payment.

https://coinremitter.com/currency/tether-usd-erc20

If you feel that the price of tether is backed by fiat value so it is almost equavalent to 1 USD all the time then start accepting the fiat itself why you need crypto at all?

Investing on a stable coin is just a stupid thing.

Choose DAI which is decentralized but the bad thing is which is using ethereum network so insane fees.

Tether is still here to stay after all this FUD here and on reddit and twitter. Its a good sign as for me
The FUD is good if it could atleast increase suspicion therefore forcing tether to reveal their dollar reserve, by that we can be rest assured that usdt is safe and have real money backing it up as a stable coin.
Other than that, it's better if the FUD also coming for other stablecoins so that the team behind that project gonna be forced to reveal as well so that we can eliminate the stablecoins that has no reserve backing it up so it would decrease the chance of people being scammed, etc. Though until now stablecoins that are well known enough none of them did an exit scam but just in case I guess.

I wouldn't say it's the best because I personally prefer BUSD over Ether. It certainly is the most famous and most used because it's one of the first Stablecoin to be created but there's always going to be competition and market share will eventually spread in overtime.

with stable growth in its price which is a really good way to make money and also started accepting as payment.

What do you mean "stable growth in its price"? it's a stablecoin, its price won't grow since it's 1:1 to USD.

That should be the case for most of people honestly using stablecoins just to keep the value of your coins but it's also really important to see which one suits you well, in this case is wide acceptance and whether the usd reserved is really there or not, which I've heard USDT has proven to have all the reserves though I don't really sure.

We know that Tether is the most valuable coin and has a great volume between all the stablecoins. But we can't trust these stablecoins to hold all our money. As we have advice, " don't put all your eggs in one bucket". To freeze your money, choose different altcoins like Binance USD, TUSD and DAI.
You don't even need to hodl tether but if you are holding it and it's fine for you as long as you know the risk by holding tether. Dude, tether will be randomly freeze your money and in the various case, that function is helping so many people to recover theirs losses due to the hacked cases that happened on several exchange sites.
There will always be pros and cons for any function. Imagine how much people will lose their money if tether was not freezing and recover it back.

And some others are safe to use also.
Stable coins are less safe than fiat. They can be more convenient to use but not safer than fiat.

People are you aware that this coins could fail and all except DAI
could lock your funds in an address so that you can not move them?!
DAI is a really decentralized stable coin and it is good as well as safest in the current stable coins on the market.

Tether USD and other centralized stable coins are risky and you are correct about that risk.
PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

Did you know, Tether (USDT) can be freeze by the smart contract + USDT is not really 100% (1:1) backup with the asset maybe only around 60% there also have some court result between Bitfinex & Tether they losed and have to pay a million dollars because of that.

maybe in market capitalization, it is USDT stable asset that has the most adoption. but perhaps more specifically the current USDT on the TRC network has increased user interest.
yes, of course, day traders who usually use USDT will experience recalculation when they have to use USDT ERC and TRC.
because of the gas fee problem, I'm sure traders are also converting to other stable assets.

I do not deny the position of Tether In the crypto space, however, it seems that many stablecoins are also emerging and showing the experience of using on separate platforms. Personally, I am currently choosing and creating a habit of keeping only USDC and BUSD.

One advantage of Tether is that they are the first stable coin, doesn't mean the best, but since they are what we term "prime movers", they became the most "used" stable coins so far, despite the many fraudulent and accusations against them.

But there are competitions out there that I think can eat up Tether's dominance as the go to stable coins for now.

Obviously, until now, for the stability of all coins, it will ensure that USDT is reliable, even for the longest time.
Just like the colleague above, I agree that I will not use stablecoins for profit, because it will not be obtained at all for that step, it seems like the wrong thing to do this action. in trading, it is very important that the price difference occurs which often occurs where it is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

These glory on USDT? If yes then, know that stable coin aren't created in one form, there are other good stable coin that are mainly for security, traded through p2p and many other features they have. Invariably, the usage of stable coin as a mean of maintaining the value of your coin,  of course, tether isn't the best stable as there are other best too.

It has 2 different blockchain also and these are erc20 and trc20. Personally, I use trc20 and it is so fast. The transaction fees of USDT on trc20 is very cheap if we compare with well know erc20 blockchain. Hope, within some years, most of the people will be able to know about USDT.

not only USDT is the benchmark for USD, but USDC, DAI, also have the same position where we can save money when prices fall. indeed when referring to the number of market investors, USDT is friendly to all types of exchanges or coin pairs. and it remains the standard. For various markets such as on Binance, we don't just refer to USDT, that way we can choose any coin with an equally stable volume.
