USDT is backed by cash, treasuries, and hard assets. They are top 15 owner of US treasuries. They print for cash. Normal people deposit fiat. You can buy coins. Casino has your cash. Know their PNL. If I transfer coins into your exchange OR OTC. I’m going to print cash to cover. Maybe it’s going on-chain. Liquidity goes up. It’s an outbound sale signal. Volumes have been low. Most exchanges could cover from their balance sheet or operational funds. Funds are SAFU for the big sales.

>They will never be forced to. The crypto industry is small, and he has the power to influence CEXs. Just look at how he handled Tesla and how Elon eventually retracted his Epstein tweet. USDC and USDT will not be long into the future, they just got the first mover advantage, and that's it. >USDC and USDT are dominant and will be long into the future Even without $1USD, their other WEB2 companies entering stablecoins market and they have huge user bases and better reputations, cleaner than Tether. Whether the current dominant stablecoin remain dominant is still a big question.

Swissstuff

They’d never be forced to. It’ll slowly die off like his other grifts soon enough. USDC and USDT are dominant and will be long into the future

pickleBoy2021

I believe when I USDT printing people see pump. I believe it’s the exit liquidity. As people get wrecked the whales cash out in stables and back to fiat.

Why adopt other's stablecoins when they have the money, team, and ability to launch their own? They would keep the profits instead of giving them away, that's good move. I would rather use their stablecoin over USDT. The best option is not to use any at all.

Hola, no se como es el tema de aduana en Venezuela pero dudo que siquiera te dejen pasar los ASICS. Capaz que te conviene tenerlo en un housing en el exterior e ir pagando los costos energéticos y de mantenimiento, que generalmente se pagan en USDT.

I used Coinbase for a long time too but the fees/spread added up fast. I’ve been using Levex recently... newer exchange, way lower fees (like 0.06%), and they support BTC, ETH, USDT, and a bunch of others... You can trade or convert quickly, and no monthly fees... Also no kyc to start, which is a plus for me..

Because most of the coins are only traded in BTC or USDT, so as the price of BTC goes up, all the BTC to Altcoin buy orders and trading bots are triggered.

thermologic_

USDT (Tether) manipulated the price with their infinite fake dollar printers and here we are.

Buy Tron and send it to your tron wallet address, swap to USDT from the wallet e.g. Trust Wallet Will incur more fees but am yet to find an exchange with USDT TRC20 And make sure ur not getting scammed

kndb

Thanks for the heads up. Yep. Ignoring DMs. So speaking of those exchanges that you recommended, how do you buy USDT there? Do I need to link my bank account or can I just pay with a debit card?

saccredphantasm1

Just got liquidated it was not a big amount , 1000 USDT but for me it was big... Will start again from 100 USDT 😅😅😅 A tip will be appreciated

bsc_rug_pulls

Back in the old days, trading pairs were denominated in bitcoin. Nowadays they're often denominated in USDT/USDC. Back then the entire objective of alts was to stack sats, not dollars. Turned out to be right. Now ask yourself...is there any alt pair denominated in bitcoin you'd be willing to risk bitcoin for? There's your answer.

>I sent a few thousand USDT for just a couple of dollars in Ether fees Do you know why traditional remittances are slow? It is not the banking system. It is the compliance checks; KYC /AML. Sending tether is faster because you are transfering money in a non-compliant manner. Producing a product/smart contract that can do these checks while not making public the sender and recipients personal details is the billion $ solution. Also over colletteralised loans aren't great in an emerging market.

QuirkyFisherman4611

You need only one coin : **Monero**. P2P electronic cash. And you need only Retoswap. BTC, ETH, LTC are all surveillance coins and USDT is toxic beyond redemption. CEXs will go the way the dinosaurs went.

DAI from MakerDAO is probably a good example decentralized, algorithmic, and still around.. has had about $100m volume in 24h. very small compared to USDT and USDC, but it's #39 by marketcap 🤷‍♂️

CommentSmooth7030

If USDT tether tanks bitcoin tanks. Banks want to control bitcoin haha

Django_McFly

Bag bias. Cardano at least has the basic of a modern blockchain so maybe it could turn things around. It won't, but it's not literally impossible. It took them forever to get here but they have all the basics in place. Why anyone would move from chains with way more assets, liquidity, apps, activity, and often lower fees to Cardano is beyond me, but it at least isn't technically impossible. Nano is a BTC competitor. No smart contracts, no new assets, no defi, no stablecoins. It's literally trying to compete with BTC. It makes no sense to me that people think this is still going somewhere. You're not going to overtake BTC for what it does and stablecoins have undeniably taken over the payments aspect of crypto so it doesn't really even have a space there. You can move non-volatile, currency pegged assets around the world in second for fractions of a penny. Tether launched a stablecoin focused chain where USDT transfers are free. It's officially over. It's a token you can play for short term price action but it's not some long term hodl. It doesn't do anything and the only selling point it has has been usurped by something people actually want to hold and spend. People in this thread talking about it's the hardest money... like they really still think it's going to out bitcoin bitcoin.

Hey u/Milan_dr, I'm curious about the payment processor you guys use for settling crypto payments. If you're ever looking for a solid backup or alternative, check out PayRam \[https://payram.com/\], it's a self-hosted crypto payment gateway that gives you full control, no middlemen, or KYC required. Set it up in under 10 minutes, and start accepting BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, TRX, and more from anyone, anywhere. Especially handy if you're in a niche where other processors tend to get twitchy or cut you off. Solid tool to have in your stack just in case.

Disastrous_Week3046

It has a lot better use cases that fiat because one guy was able to book a plane ticket on a third party website with it? What are these much better use cases? OPs single anecdote is hardly proof that crypto is any better than the current system. For as many people who have successfully used it for something like this, there are probably 10 who haven’t. Also, USDT is BARELY crypto and backed by fiat.

Available_Caramel977

BYDFi’s approach to listing new USDT-M contracts through an event format is actually pretty smart. It gives users a reason to try the platform, and so far, the execution has been solid. No lag, no major issues, and the incentives make it even better.

KHALIFAA-

By tested I mean real trades not paper trades, the profits are the final amount after the fees etc. I trade on MEXC exchange. I don't believe regulations would be any problem in my country. My win rate is greater than 80% but the only issue I was facing was my losing trades were huge but I have successfully controlled that thing and I'm actually a profitable trader but just because of my account size I can't FULLY follow my strategy. I don't setup SL mostly, I manually monitor all the trades I take and if it's going against my setup, I close it myself. Due to my success ratio, at the end of the day I end up in profit. I trade manually using TradingView's Crypto Pairs Screener, setting up custom filters according to my strategy and when the coins appear there, I open their chart and further analyze it, if it appears to be fulfilling my conditions (which are just 3-4 including 3 indicators and support resistance levels, a little bit of bigger timeframe analysis). Because my trade sizes are small, my average PNL is 100% which means 100% of the investment, please do remember that the max trade size I can open with my current balance is 1000 USDT (sometimes more depending on the leverage and coin movement) with Max Leverage. My wallet size is actually very small and I didn't mention it because 99% would say I'm gambling etc or I'm lying but I know what I'm doing. I take ALOT of trades in a day because this is my full time job for me and I've learned this thing over years.

teflfornoobs

MAYBE like USDC because coinbase is a certified bank and has the reserves. But USDT is a time-bomb the entire market ignores for the sake of hype. His maybe isn't heavy lifting. it's delusional, but delusions made nations and recessions.

OkSeries5363

That would be considered tax fraud. When you sold you bitcoin for USDT, you can't just igrone the capital gain, otherwise no one would ever have any capital gains to pay ever? Example: Buy $1000 of USDT (cost basis $1000 USD), 2 years later Selll $1000 of USDT (capital proceeds $1000 USD) = no capital gains? Tax is not applied depending what you trade it for, the captial gain is detemined by the market value at the time of disposal.

Kidchico

Kinda like USDT and USDC?

>Stablecoin TVL is up up up. Tether profits are off the charts. CBDCs already exist in Hong Kong and Brazil with more to come. Circle just IPOd and is worth billions. Almost every bank is currently planning the launch of their own stablecoin. Merchants are accepting stablecoins, not your precious nano, especially in places like South America with USDT. My point still stands, you just mentioned a bunch of centralized solutions that i have no interest in.

No actually Tron deserves credit. I don’t know how they managed to get so much USDT activity in South America etc, but it’s real. It’s certainly not just justin sun moving his money around

tldr; Plasma, a Layer 1 blockchain optimized for stablecoin transactions, raised $500 million through its ICO, doubling its initial cap of $250 million due to high demand. Supported by Tether (USDT), Plasma sold 10% of its XPL token supply at a $500 million valuation, attracting over 1,110 wallets with a median deposit of $35,000. Despite concerns about fund concentration among top investors, the ICO is seen as a success, reflecting strong confidence in Plasma's potential to enhance stablecoin infrastructure and adoption globally. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

He faces severe penalties, highlighting concerns over crypto's role in sanctions evasion. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

sigh_duck

Yes but algorithmically backed and not 1:1 so basically the mechanism was easy to break once a bank run hit. Not saying USDT isn't similarly flimsy but I would assume there have been lessons learned and an emphasis on strong collateral backing. I know there are a lot of US bonds in there, gold and BTC.

Crypto ATM to Cash then cash to bank Usually they charge big fees but in most of EU you can withdraw up to 1000 eur before needing to KYC. If possible when depositing to bank, deposit a different amount than withdrawn. If the amount is greater than the amount withdrawn it's better. You can try Bisq or Retoswap for a P2P exchange or cash in person transaction. It is basically a marketplace. So you make an offer to sell USDT for zloty in Warsawa region for example and if anybody is interested they accept the offer. Usually this should be cheaper. Than ATMs. Or try to support circular economy, but USDT is quite a bad choice for that...

It’s my understanding that the international crowd facing volatile fiat problems in their own countries have been buying USDT and storing in cold wallets to protect their assets. Get an Arculus wallet if they can be delivered there, but any wallet you buy, get it straight from the manufacturer. NO AMAZON or drop ship sellers!

Confident-Safe9228

As an investor eager to dive into the world of cryptocurrency, I was drawn in by the promise of high returns from a company that claimed to offer mining rig rentals. I invested $50,000 USDT, convinced that I was making a smart financial decision. The company’s website looked professional, and the numerous 5-star reviews gave me confidence in their legitimacy. Everything seemed perfect, and I felt excited about the potential profits. For the first two weeks, I received mining returns that made me believe I had struck gold. The returns were consistent, and I was thrilled at the prospect of my investment growing. However, just as quickly as the returns started, they abruptly stopped. I tried to reach out to the company, but my emails went unanswered, and soon after, the website vanished into thin air. Panic set in as I realised I had been scammed. Feeling lost and frustrated, I began to search for help. That’s when I discovered Techy Force Cyber Retrieval, a team specialising in recovering funds lost to cryptocurrency scams. I reached out to them, hoping they could assist me in retrieving my hard-earned money. They were understanding and immediately began investigating my case. Techy Force Cyber Retrieval conducted a thorough blockchain analysis and quickly uncovered that the wallet used by the scam company was linked to multiple other fraudulent activities. It turned out that the same wallet had been involved in three other scams, revealing a pattern of deceit that was both alarming and disheartening. Techy Force Cyber Retrieval acted swiftly, collaborating with various cryptocurrency exchanges to trace and seize the USDT that had been transferred to connected accounts. They provided evidence of the fraudulent activities associated with the wallet, which helped convince the exchanges to freeze the assets. I was amazed at their expertise and dedication to recovering my funds. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to recover all my USDT from my investment. While it was a painful lesson, this experience taught me the importance of conducting thorough due diligence before engaging with any mining operation. I learned that verifiable addresses, legitimate contracts, and transparent operations are crucial in avoiding scams. I am grateful for the support from Techy Force Cyber Retrieval. They not only helped me recover my lost funds but also reinforced the need for caution in the cryptocurrency space.        Via       Tele-gram >>> TECY CYBERFOR   Ma-il>>> su-pport-@-tech-yforce-cybe-rretri-eval-.com

That's the thing right? I typically do not hold any stables in USDT for this exact reason. 

Hellog7g

Crazy how much USDT keeps getting minted—just shows how big the demand for stable liquidity is. But for regular users, it's still tough to *do anything smart* with that liquidity without getting hit by gas or needing a PhD in DeFi. Tools that quietly automate that part are starting to feel less like a luxury and more like a necessity.

D00dleArmy

Don’t even get me started on the Ponzi scheme that is USDT. I’m a big fan of crypto but the idea of USDT having ANY BTC on its balance sheet is… concerning.

Due-Candy-8929

These are all in the top 20 coins, and are all heavily utilty based - I don't think I have any crypto that is outside the top 100... But I still feel much safer holding these than I would feel holding USDT though! There is a risk factor... but with that risk comes the potential for higher reward. The biggest % gains are seen before something is seen as a safe investment... You want to beat the crowd in, not Fomo in at the top... some are quick to criticise alts and treat everything else as if it’s all the same but there is a big spectrum between utilty / layer 1s, well known memes and other throwaway coins, and smaller caps can also see far higher % gains as well - it takes much less money flowing in to drastically move the price - and when things fall BTC still comes down as well from 69k to 19k it took around 850 days to recover to 69k again...

poginmydog

Tether is widely used by unregulated jurisdictions like China, South East Asia where p2p are the norm or where crypto is illegal. Even in regulated jurisdictions like Singapore where I’m from, USDT is the preferred USD stable in p2p and spot markets.

LOL, Tether can't go public because 1) they still can't prove they have the reserves to back USDT value 2) as a result, you can't use it to trade on some big exchanges 3) tether is still on the scrutiny radar of several agencies worldwide

USDC if you can. USDT (Tether) is under connstant scrutiny and critique by governments all over. Just a matter of time before it might become difficult to trade USDT.

tldr; An analysis by Artemis CEO Jon Ma suggests that if Tether went public, its valuation could reach $515 billion, surpassing major corporations like Coca-Cola. The projection is based on Tether's reported $13 billion net profits for 2024 and assumes a significant increase in USDT supply by 2025. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino acknowledged the valuation but noted it might be conservative given the company's Bitcoin and gold holdings. The analysis highlights Tether's influence in the crypto ecosystem, though the valuation remains speculative. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

jeremiahcp

You’re taxed on the gain, but holding for over a year lowers the capital gains tax rate. Since USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, selling it usually results in little to no gain, so there is often nothing significant to tax.

hpmancuso

Yes, my money is in banks, some in cash, but the portion I want to move is in bank accounts. I own a Ledger, but why choose USDC over USDT?

Heavenly_Spike_Man

You have to have money in the bank to buy USDT… can you trust the bank with your money during this process? If so, buy USDC. Store it on a hardware wallet like ledger. Enjoy your corruption

TenshiS

USDT, USDC etc. Literal USD pinned coins.

Awkward_Potential_

I'd use something like SimpleSwap to turn that USDT into Bitcoin. Let me know if you have any questions. You're going to need Bitcoin. Also you can also use Bitrefill to buy gift cards.

critiqueextension

Gifting USDT under the annual exclusion limit of $19,000 in 2025 generally does not trigger gift tax obligations, but converting or selling it may result in capital gains tax based on the fair market value at the time of sale. The IRS considers digital assets like USDT as property, so any exchange or sale could be taxable, and holding the gift for over a year might qualify for long-term capital gains rates. * [How are Stablecoins Taxed?

MrTheums

The $515B valuation claim itself warrants scrutiny. While Tether's market cap in USDT is undeniably massive, equating that to a company valuation requires a deep dive into their reserves, liabilities, and the inherent risks associated with a stablecoin pegged to a volatile asset (the USD). A lack of transparency around these crucial elements makes any valuation highly speculative. The decision to avoid an IPO is understandable from a risk-management perspective. An IPO would necessitate greater regulatory scrutiny and public disclosure, potentially exposing vulnerabilities in their operational model. This isn't necessarily an admission of guilt, but a pragmatic choice given the existing controversies surrounding Tether. We need to separate the strategic decision to avoid an IPO from speculating on the underlying health of the company. More data is needed before drawing definitive conclusions.

l_ft

For US Federal taxes, getting the 500 USDT isn’t taxable. A bona‑fide gift isn’t income to the recipient. Your cost basis is the donor’s basis. If they bought the USDT for $500, your basis is $500. If you receive exactly $500 and your basis is $500 your gain = $0 and therefor tax = $0. Waiting a year only matters if you expect an appreciable gain and want long‑term capital‑gains rates. If you hold 500 USDT for a year it will likely not change value.

Y0l0BallsDeep

What’s with the cult-like worship of Bitcoin? Besides being first and having the largest market cap, what actually makes it superior to everything else? Serious question. It’s still highly vulnerable to manipulation—just look at the rampant printing of USDT, which is backed by essentially nothing. It’s also increasingly centralized, with a growing share controlled by institutions and corporations through ETFs or direct holdings. Not to mention, around 40% of Bitcoin wallets are located in the U.S., which raises serious questions about its supposed decentralization. It’s relentlessly shilled on CNBC for a reason—and the moment you dare to state the obvious, you’re attacked as if you’ve blasphemed a religion rather than simply questioned a financial asset.

MrTheums

While the headline-grabbing $1.45 billion influx into USDT in a week is noteworthy, it's crucial to analyze this within a broader context. This surge might reflect increased market activity, but it could also signal a flight to perceived safety amidst uncertainty in other crypto sectors. We need to see more data than just transaction volume. Transparency regarding reserve composition and audit frequency remains paramount for all stablecoins, not just USDT. The ongoing debate about USDT's reserves and auditing practices shouldn't be ignored; a deeper dive into those specifics is necessary before drawing conclusions about the long-term implications of this recent growth. The competitive landscape between USDT and USDC is indeed interesting. However, focusing solely on the "winner" overlooks the systemic risks associated with the entire stablecoin market. The concentration of market share in a few dominant players presents its own vulnerabilities. Diversification across stablecoins and a critical assessment of their underlying mechanisms are vital for any investor.

critiqueextension

Tether's recent growth, with USDT supply surpassing $120 billion and significant holdings in Bitcoin and gold, underscores its expanding influence in the stablecoin market and traditional assets. This growth aligns with the overall surge in stablecoin market capitalization, which reached over $232 billion in March 2025, reflecting increased institutional adoption and liquidity demand.

This battle will end up being between USDT vs USDC. With USDC ultimately winning out, mainly because of the infrastructure laid out specifically by Circle. Especially now that circle is publicly traded, many financial institutions are looking for an intermediary platform with some kind of oversight/insurance. Simply put, Tether = Napster, Circle = Spotify. Ultimately people would choose the safety and security along with profitability.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Stablecoins, particularly Tether's USDT, have seen significant growth since January 2025, with USDT injecting $1.45 billion into the market in just seven days. This surge contributes to a total growth of $2.55 billion for stablecoins, enhancing liquidity and stabilizing the crypto ecosystem. Tether, valued at $515 billion, plays a pivotal role in decentralized finance and institutional adoption, with over 90 billion USDT in circulation and substantial reserves in Bitcoin and gold. Despite its success, Tether has no plans for an IPO, focusing on flexibility and profitability. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Nobody knows how it will play out but history does rhyme. Currently it is very probable the USD is about to get printed into oblivion. That is why Trump is pressuring the fed to lower rates and the reason for the big disagreement with Elon. Guess what this means for USDT? What does this mean for any asset? Assets that cannot be controled/printed suddenly became a lot more attractive: Gold, Real estate, Nano.

Even better...why not use fiat USD at that point? To adress your point...those are not decentralised cryptocurrencies but digital derivatives mirroring the USD price. When the USD value tanks...USDT will tank along with it. So its still the fed deciding how much USDT is worth. Lets not go into how Tether isnt 1-1backed either. This scenario is becoming more and more probable everyday.

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you describing something like USDC or USDT but running on Nano's network? This... Actually seems really promising as a solution for financial centralisation and micro-fees put in place by middle-men.

But we all know USDT started off as crooks, only passed audits by swapping their holdings between their exchange at the time which could have caused a major FTX collapse but people were largely unaware of the inability of their assets not being backed at all times etc etc. Eventually they obviously did become profitable and lean towards legit, but there's a very obvious reason they don't want anyone going back and looking at their books. I'm not an advocate for that, as USDT becoming delisted as a worse case scenario would definitely cause a major short term crash.

>It's the only cryptocurrency that actually works like currency. That's not really objectively true, is it? USDT and USDC and DAI work a lot better as currencies and are far more popular.

They’re using USDT because no one bothered to make Bitcoin usable. That’s not a flex. That’s a failure. Maxis keep screaming “Bitcoin fixes this” from air-conditioned conferences while people in the Global South are just trying to not get wiped out by inflation before Friday. You want adoption? Build something useful or get out of the way.

tldr; Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino dismissed the idea of taking the company public, stating there is no need for an IPO, despite speculation about its valuation potentially reaching $515 billion. Ardoino suggested this figure might be conservative given Tether's growing Bitcoin and gold reserves. He expressed excitement for the company's growth, with Tether's USDT ranking as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Prominent Bitcoin advocates have speculated Tether could one day achieve a $1 trillion valuation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Lol if i do make a quick 500 off these because one is paired with USDT the rest can be done. i will try and if i succeed ill find my way back here. If you take 100k and bought ADA for example 92 cents CAD and held staked and traded some back n forth over time. If it expect to see a 10$ price prediction would buying 100k x 9$ equal out to be more then the current price of btc ? Who wants to ride the ADA coin train lets gooo 😈

Depending on your location and available payment methods, Robosats and HodlHodl may not have good orders for you. Here's more convenient, general approach: 1. Buy USDT for cash in a physical exchange 2. Deposit it to an exchange which doesn't require KYC for non-fiat deposits and withdrawals 3. DCA on the exchange 4. Once gained sufficient amount, withdraw to your cold wallet

I agree but again, dont put all of your eggs in one basket. I have bitcoin in spot and trade it as well but I also have a few altcoins in spot and plenty of USDT for trading and I also hold a few tech stocks.

Currencies work mostly by two major metrics, as a medium of exchange and as a store of value. Both can be pretty nebulous but the store of value argument largely relies on social consensus (which only really Bitcoin and some stablecoins have) and is the most prevalent for most bitcoiners and "investors" in cryptocurrency like those on here. Cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange do have merit but these require another form of social consensus in businesses and exchanges to turn it into something usable that allegedly are happening, but in reality aren't happening anywhere near fast enough. It also doesn't help that many networks are effectively subsidizing their own use and allowing transfers of stablecoins which undercuts decentralized DAGs like Nano or Iota potential adoption as Tron and Stellar sacrifice decentralization and fees for usability for these markets. Currency risk for non-stablecoins is huge for people in less affluent countries trying to use cryptocurrencies. If Coinbase adoption in the US could bump your savings up or down by 20%, you'd probably rather use a more stable asset to save and transact like USDT. The other major fields for cryptocurrencies above regular currency are privacy which Nano doesn't compete in, and smart contracts, which Nano doesn't compete in. So the areas it can compete in, it and the general field/idea lack support and adoption, and the little we see is undercut by less decentralized products. There's not much reason to hate it, but without more adoption for XNO and the field overall, there's very little reason to love it.

Polkadot’s Nova Wallet getting a debit card so you can spend DOT, USDC, USDT and on-chain assets with a Mastercard… but only available to EU residents for the moment.

That's actually dumb. This should've been done when BTC was below 40k, not when it's at ATH and to almost end of bullrun. If you lost confidence to alts, then just stay in USDT for the next cycle.

thermologic_

If Tether (USDT) keep creating fake US dollars out of thin air why not. I believe 1 Bitcoin = 1 billion $ at tomorrow. Its so easy to pump Bitcoin p0nzi scheme’s price when u have infinite US dollar printer.

Learn what a pig butchering scam is. The victims NEVER get their money back. The only hope is to scam the scammer. Heres the advice I always reply to posts like these (this scam has been going on for years). 1. First you have to convince her that shes being scammed (see everyones comments here, they are right, the "balance" site is fake and the small payments are temporary) 2. If shes convinced (big if), tell her to tell the scammers she has a rich brother who wants to deposit $9,000 (say its all his savings, etc) for the 8% a day return or whatever. BUT, the brother can only deposit his money once she proves that she can withdraw $600 of her funds back. She must say she will immediately put the $600 of her own money back after this is proven. The withdrawal has to be in legit USDT on eth or solana into her own wallet (Trust or Exodus are free apps you just write down your own 12 words). 3. If the scammers fall for this, congrats you have her $600 back. She must not send it again. This may or may not work, depends on how convenincing you act and how greedy the scammers are. Good luck.

According to Lawrence Lepard's *The Big Print*, around 35% of the population in Nigeria use some form of cryptocurrency. I suspect most of it is USDT, but I'm sure a lot of people there have at least some money in Bitcoin.

There is a lot more demand for USDT than for Bitcoin in developing countries. Worrying about losing puchasing power over the next decade is a first world problem. They're worried about next week.

USDT better, USDT to $10 easily.

igoldring

Sadly you’re right. Cowen uses (TOTAL3-USDT)/BTC as his indicator and claims it will hit historical support at 0.25. Right now we’re at 0.33 and that’s at around a 25% drop if it does hit. So not as bad as a 30-40% but he’s been pretty spot on for a while with takes about alts as oscillators at best and ETH going home. Even recently, he called for a 10-15% drop on BTC after golden cross and we’ve nearly hit that recently too. Good insight but people hate him in this sub.

At leat you’re not buying USDT on pulse thinking it will repeg 😂😂

From what I understand, MiCA’s new stablecoin framework limits the use of unregulated stablecoins like USDT for European exchanges. The rules officially apply from July 2024, and unless Tether complies, platforms may need to delist it in the EU. I’ve been reading up on this, and this article does a solid job explaining what’s going on: [https://casinosblockchain.io/tether-europe-ban/](https://casinosblockchain.io/tether-europe-ban/)
