USD
USDC
USDT
DAI

Please why would you chose any of these coin to reserved your funds when the market seems to be waving?
Let discuss

USDC and DAI are my choices because USDC is accepted by governments now especially in Europe. DAI is chosen by its decentralization.

Stable coins cqn depeg but risk is more, your stable coins in your own wallet can be frozen.

I tend to pick USDT as I think it's the most liquid for BTC as well as other cryptos with the exchanges I'm using. In addition, in case I wanna move, my go-to exchanges always support chains I tend to have couple of $ for fees-- and it's cheap.

I wouldn't hold these stable coins for long term though as I wouldn't feel safe. I'd just hold the fiat if I wanna do USD.

DAI is more reliable than other stablecoins, but this stablecoin is still lower in market cap than other stablecoins, so traders will always choose those available on many CEXs such as USDT or USDC because they usually only store for a short period of time, storing stablecoins for the long term is dangerous because they can lose value.

DAI is reliable for the reason that it is a decentralized stablecoin, and its low popularity is due to the fact that most of those involved in cryptocurrency have no idea how a decentralized stablecoin differs from a centralized one. I hope that someday this situation with stablecoins will change in favor of decentralization.

I don't really focus on which stablecoin is the best, as long as the exchange provides USDC or USDT I will choose between the two stablecoins. Especially if it is only to secure a position temporarily, both stablecoins are okay to use, but right now I tend to use USDC because it is the most widely available option. However, as the user said above, stablecoins have a risk of being depegged, so holding them for a long period of time is not recommended.

Same thing with me because I hardly keep any of my coins for long in stable coins, I don’t know maybe people do this but I usually just keep them as fiat if it is not going to be converted to bitcoin for a long time. But when I need to use the stable coins I have no choice but to use the one with much liquidity in the exchange. I was actually using USDC before the saga on them been depegged, I switched to USDT and now back to USDC if the need arises. Personally I weigh the risk as equal which is the fear of them getting depegged.

I think all stablecoins are reliable and it will be very difficult measure the reliability as there is no standard for that. As long as they are still being traded and without any lawsuit against it or the intervention of the authorities, there is not supposed to be any problems especially as the conversion to stablecoin is just temporary until the price dips where buying bitcoin will become the best option again. Although, I personally convert to USDT whenever I want to convert to stablecoin but that does not mean that I don't trust the others.

Aside that, there are some things you need to take into consideration when you want to hold stablecoins. Like how long to you intend to hold and the possibility of having your asset seized. USDT and USDC are the most popular stablecoins, but are centralized and can be blacklisted. Also, they can undergo depeging, that's they can stray slightly in value from the US dollar. DAI, on the other hand is decentralized but depegs more when compared to USDT and USDC.

USD is not a stable coin. It is United States fiat. All the stable coin that you mentioned are all trying to always achieve USD price which is the reason USD is the best as it is not depending on the stable coins but the stable coins are depending on it.

DAI largest reserve is USDC which do not let me prefer the coin.

If I can hold USD, I will prefer it.

Thank you for the deep explanation.
So, in trading it's better to sell any coin to USD, I believe that is only trusted currency that wouldn't depegged (decoupled) anytime or being affected by any market forces.
Some others are also trusted and people has been using it, including me do trade on those stable coin but what just changes my mindset was from when i read about Terra UST made me changed my mindsets towards holding these stable coin back while trading or closing market.

It seems like you are still a newbie trader, but your question is not a bad one. Since you have mentioned so many stable coins here, I will advise you to convert your coin to USDT because it's one of the most safest stable coin in the market currently. USDC does not even rank the ladder no matter what the European Union is trying to do to make sure that USDC becomes the most adopted stable coin in the market. USDT have been providing liquidity in the market to many crypto projects and it's the one you have to follow. You can still convert your coin to any of the able stable coins which are also good to hold for a long time. I prefer USDT and that's what many will tell you.

USDT is my favourite stablecoin and that's because to a greater extent it's easily paired with every other cryptos for trading. It's just sad that Europe wants to stop trading it. A December 30, 2024 deadline has been set for it. We don't know if that deadline will be extended or not.

Preferably, when I want to take profit or convert my coins to a stable coin, I use USDT and the reason why I choose it is because it has more trading volume and also it has a lot of users worldwide compare to other stable coin.
I have been using USDT right from when I got into crypto and there's no reason for me to change to something else.

For me, USDT and USDC, these two are very useful to me, here in our country and even in other countries when I transfer fiat outside our country. Then the USD is ok, as far as I know, they are not stablecoins, I don't know if others know this as well.

Just from the two I mentioned, when we know for ourselves that the market is going down, it is good to convert it to USDT or USDC so that your profit is safe and you won't get stuck or else you might just get stressed out in the end or you might be like others who, if they didn't sell at a loss, waited a few years to recover their profit.

Have you thought of decoupling or depegging?
Apart from USD and DAI all stable coin can depegged, such as what i red on terra ust, it's so painful that those who sold their coin to terra ust lose all every after the decoupling.
So my question goes directly in relation to the article I came across on Forbes about TerraUST you click here to understand my direction of post and questions. I believe you know which stable coin to choose while trading. Anyway from what I red on this article converting or trading to USD is much important than any other stable coin as they can easily decoupled.

But there is one huge difference between them, Terra's UST is completely different from other stable coins on the market. While all stablecoins like USDT, USDC...use USD as a reserve asset, UST uses Luna tokens, BTC and many other altcoins as reserve assets, all of which are highly volatile assets. Therefore, once the market is dumped, UST depegged is inevitable. Not to mention, since its launch, UST has faced a lot of criticism and predictions of its foretold death from many veteran investors but most people ignored those warnings.

So you should not worry about using stable coins that are circulating in the market and backed by USD, they are much safer than USt.

Converting to USD is of course the most reliable, but it will not allow you to earn additional income in DeFi, so everyone should independently assess the risks and make a decision afterwards. I keep the free part of the stablecoins in USDe, which by its nature is a synthetic stablecoin and allows you to farm ENA even if you just keep it in your wallet. If you stake USDe in various protocols, the boost increases to x20 and allows you to receive additional profit in ENA tokens.

Normally when I exchange crypto, I just use whatever stablecoin the platform offers that has good liquidity. I don't dive too deep into the technology because I'm not holding these assets long-term anyway. Frankly all the centralized digital dollars seem to have similar uncertainty baked in from my perspective.

However, if I were in a situation where I was worried about the stability of the market, I would probably choose a stablecoin that is backed by a reserve asset, such as USD Coin (USDC). This is because I believe that stablecoins that are backed by real-world assets are more likely to maintain their peg to the US dollar.

I'm no expert though. Maybe the math geeks have already solved for trustless stability. But for now, old fashioned dollars in the vault provide some comfort when the trading waters look choppy.

By the way, this idea seems imperfect for me because there are chances of being wrong which might make you convert to stablecoins and see bitcoin rise so high that you will lose money doing the conversion. But is this strategy work for you, there is no problems.
