Hello everyone,

So I just recently got into trading and really loving it. I have to admit I haven't been doing so bad. My main goal is to accumalate as much ETH as I can since Alt coins seem to perform better against it as opposed to Bitcoin.

My main question though is regarding USDT. I've done quite a bit of reading on it and I like that it is a stable coin, but I am very nervous as it seems that the team behind it is quite shady in that they refuse to be audited. I've stayed away from it even though I do see it as very useful to hold any profits incase Ethereum goes down, but I always have this fear that I'll wake up one day to a scandal behind Tether and they would be useless and no one would want them.

What are your thoughts on this coin? and if you have the same anxiety how do you get around it locking in profits?
USDT is a good altcoin and it's like a bank. It helps me hold my money without fear of losing. I do not need to through the bank to recharge the wallet, I just converted from USDT to another altcoin. Transaction time will be very useful and that is very convenient.
I have 40000 USDT coins and I always believe in it. There will not be much profit, but it will help me make the transaction faster and lower cost.
Yes it is on the fixed value of dollar so if there is no any dollar trade in any exchange like on bittrex then you can rely on that coin and do not worry for that coin on exchanges like bittrex as in the previous weeks I heard that bittrex has announced that if they will see any issue with USDT then they will add the dollar market to their exchange so that people can park their money in dollar if they will feel that they have to take a little break. So it is believed that before any issue to that altcoin there will be a good solution on the exchanges to secure your money and your trade.

I personally would not trust too much USDT until the team will allow and audit of their assets. After all, otherwise we would just to believe them, which in the era of trustless crypro is not really the best.

We can see that although in recent days the market is fluctuating continuously and is declining very seriously, but the price of USDT is still very stable and slightly increased. Therefore, in the days of Hurricane Hurricane market as the present time, USDT is a place where we can storm, very safe and convenient.

I would recommend stay away of USDT, now a situation around it is quite tricky,  and they dont stop emission of Tether,  recently their management emited enormous amount of USDT,  so I am afraid that this story has no happy end
Keeping your money in USDT for a long time is not good but we don't have any option to do trade with equal to USD value. this the only currency stable at $1 from a long time and that is why people use this coin as USD. The risk is there but for me i don't have any option if I do trade with other altcoins I will get confuse weather i am in profit or loss the calculations will become too much complicated.
in fact, if it's Coins that are the equivalent of the dollar, then they only show a prospect for the future, because there will be no fear of keeping their funds in such moments. As far as I understand, these same dollars, only in digital format.

for trading the idea of usdt is great , you have a safe place to go to when you think the market is going down and you don't want to lose any value. but there has been a lot of talk about price manipulation of bitcoin with usdt. the fact that they can't prove that every usdt is backed by a dollar makes it even harder to trust them. so while i like the idea i don't trust them enough to put my money there.
I used Usdt a lot, but to the best of my knowledge, Usdt has become a manipulator, so it has to be the counterpart of the USDT's on the market. I think the reason for Bitcoin's depreciation is to use the USDT as a manipulation tool.


USDT is biggest SCAM in crypto and my biggest fear. I trully believe they are one of the biggest players when it comes to manipulating the market and If BTC ever dies or is close to death, USDT will be among top reasons if not THE reason.

Just google a bit about USDT and DYOR.

I rarely say stuff like this, but this time I am firmly standing behind my believes and research.

Stay away from it. You have been warned!

USDT is a crypto-currency asset issued on the basis of a bitcoin blockchain through the Omni Layer protocol. Each USDT unit is backed by the US dollar, which inspires confidence. USDT was created to facilitate the transfer of national currencies, providing users with a stable alternative to bitcoin and checking exchanges and swallets that are currently unreliable. Thus, we get an extremely reliable and transparent system that relies on the oldest and most secure bitcoin`s blockchain and provides users with a stable asset for national currencies.

I would agree with you if tether wasn't facing so many problems with audits. What you are saying is the model under which tether should work, but we just don't know if that is true. There is no way to know if they everything single tether in circulation is really backed on a 1:1 ratio with the USD. This is there the problem starts, and the reason why tether doesn't bring any confidence to the market, as you are referring. It's quite the opposite right now, and tether brings a lot of doubts, even on the bitcoin price itself, because some people claim that maybe tether was printed like fiat, out of thin air, and used to pump bitcoin price. Without audits, we simply cant know for sure. This is why I don't really like tether, and I don't use it.

I'm talking about how it should be, and you're talking about how it is. I agree with you that the USDT has problems, which are not resolved at the moment. I very much hope that the company's statements can be trusted and they will justify the hopes. The main advantage of the NDAP is that it solves two problems: not the availability of real assets and the volatility of the exchange rate. According to Tether, USDT is secured by US dollars in the proportion of 1 to 1. Now we can not find out if this is true, but time will tell. However, if this is so, then It allows you to trade on the crypto exchange markets as a substitute for the US dollar with low commissions and almost instantly. And this is exactly why I like tether.

Seems you are not an old person in touch with trading, my first suggestion is be-careful. Trading is not simple as buy at low price and sell at high price, even seems so. You need to do sufficient preparation, for basic knowledge of trading can see this link : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/just-a-little-guide-for-new-crypto-traders-2960563

Related with USDT, that is a virtual USD that should be almost same with USD. So I think it will be mostly influenced by USD price in non-virtual (real) world, and non virtual currency is depending many factors including government which is not independent that opposite with blockchain and cryptocurrency as independent characteristics. So becareful to trade with USDT.

Haven'used USDT ever since but I think it will secure the value of your investment when market collapse the only question somehow is the transparency and the credibility of its creators. The coin is no doubt a helpful tool, however it needs to be transparent to be trustworthy enough for investors so they must show off their real funds if its real and for auditing.

I fully agree with the audit of this or that project, but it is necessary that this is a trusted company that can be trusted. Because if there are dubious results, who then what is the point of doing it all.

Too, I think the USDT token is not the best option for storing its investments in it. It is not known how many of these tokens are released and at any time its price can collapse very much.

USDT is supposed to be USD backed token but there are many suspicion around this coin and accusations against them about printing out more USDT token to artificially pump bitcoin price during corrections which are not backed by any real USD in their bank accounts. Also USDT is supposed to be linked with bitfinex exchange which itself is not quite secure platform and have some dark histories.

I mostly trade against  USD or EUR rather than against USDT token. But you can use them temporarily to lock profit on your daily trades.

Currently, with the USDT crypto, you can completely reassure exchange for this coin because if there is negative news about this USDT, it will not be able to reduce the exchange rate because it is stable at the level of $ 1. I usually exchange USDT when Bitcoin rates or altcoins drop quickly to avoid losses, exchange to USDT then hold and wait until the bitcoin or altcoins rate to the bottom and then buy and hold until the market of cryptocurencies recovery Smiley)))

That is only if it's actually backed by anything and that they even honor it if it is.

USDT is great for selling highs and buying lows or for riding out storms but it's not USD and you need to be aware of that

USDT is a very important coin in the field of crypto. Remember if BTC crashes,  Alts crashes more.  And the only thing to save the value of your profit or investments is by hedging it to USDT coin.

Shouldn't your goal to be to attain most of what you think will do best against usd or your home currency?

There's large uncertainty around tether and a lot of accusations that they don't have funds in reserve and it was used to inflate the price of bitcoin. If these are ever confirmed then the price of tether will tank hard. For that reason I use tether as little as possible.
