Title: Is there any trusted altcoin which equals to 1 dollar ?
Post by: Uniex on February 25, 2017, 09:45:15 PM
I want to exchange some part of my bitcoins into cryptocurrency which is stable on its rate. Maybe 1 coin = 1 dollar, etc.

Does any exist already ?

I don't think there is one. What would you peg a coin to have a stable 1:1 rate with USD?

Yes, you are right, Tether is the only altcoin that presents that characteristic, although I don't understand why it shows eventual fluctuations in the charts of coinmarketcap.

Tether has historically been a good peg to the dollar but it's value comes from a centralized company that buys and sells tether to maintain the price. If the company fails, you lose everything.

The only safe option is bitUSD which is a decentralized peg to the dollar. It is an amazing system done by decentralized price feeds and a smart contract that can be settled on the blockchain. Check out

There is also bitCNY, bitGOLD, bitSILVER, even bitBTC which will always be worth at least its face value and sometimes slightly more.
