Bitcoin Forum

hi im from the philippines and we have a big premium in buying and selling of bitcoins
so now i just want to trade btc using usdt-btc pairing in bittrex. however i am aware of the
subpoena to tether regarding their shady business

should i stay away from usdt for safety?

Using tether is fine, i using it alot as an aarbitrage pair. Just dont use it as main investment, i mean when you not holding bitcoin just turn it to another stable alt dont keep it in tether, i dont like tether just because the supply always increase every few month.

You should stay away kabayan!,tether is being backuped by USD,it means the banks could easily manipulate its price.Theres a lot of coins out there that you can invest to,you just need to do a lot of research because investing has a lot of things to consider like the product,development team,and roadmap so you wont be investing to these shitty coins.

USDT is not save for long term holding but it is ok if you're using for airbite or escaping crypto price correction.
we should aware about tether supply, they could crash cryptocurrency market in anytime soon

Exactly what i think, what the point of holding something that wort same as USD though. If i just want to make some saving ill just save it at my bank account

I think you should hold it because it is very potential for the future. judging by the price containment is very good and to increase the price very quickly. this is very good for long term or short term investments.

Yes, of course it's worth staying away from the Tether project, simply because it's not provided with anything, this project is obviously like a candy wrapper, these candy wrappers are not provided with absolutely anything, and if they were provided, there would not be any problems with listening.

Tether is a medium that paid, and subject to the big whales and governments that are willing to pay for it. For the global cryptocurrency market Tether have a pretty bad reputation after spreading a series of FUD to the community especially cryptocurrency users (which is still new). We should not keep it in Tether, because by storing it there, it's tantamount to supporting Tether.

pang trading lang sir ng btc. nagtratrade dn kasi ako ng straight. like nung 9k btc sinell ko sa coinsph then bought back at 6k.
ang hassle lang nung send pako ng send sa bittrex back to coinsph

Tether or usdt is really good currency for reinvesting into crypto after profit taking I really learn the lesson for not believing usdt . As far it’s a good option for profit taking . Even I dint trust this because of their shady business . But for crypto traders there is no much option to convert fiat equivalent.

If you want to continue in encryption cryptocurrency market trading, you have to use USDT, because if you think the bitcoin will have a big drop, then sell for USDT is more reasonable.

What? hold USDT? sorry maybe I've misunderstood.
If not, this is probably the most crazy thing I've heard, it's pegged to the price of the US dollar, it serves 1 purpose in my eyes, you suspect a coin drop, switch to Tether, buy back low.

Holding this coin long term is a complete waste of time.

There are a lot of coins out there other than USDT that has more potential. My trust on Tether falls down after the $31 million hack, and since then I don't trade Tether anymore.. I prefer you should stay away and find another coin that can make you more profit.

Yes because tether are fake those big people out there can make as much tether as they want just to control the market or the price of Bitcoin that's why Bittrex already implemented USD instead of USDT.

I dont recommend following all the created FUD and rumors about Tether,I think everything is ok and under control.Trading btc-usdt is fine but I dont keep a lot of money in tether,I prefer bitcoin and etherium.

It depends on your decision. If you are an adventurer, you should choose ETH and BTC. If you are safe and do not want to risk, you should invest BTC-USDT. I think Option 2 is good for everyone because the crypto market is a hard market. If your knowledge is not good then losing your property is a normal thing. So I recommend keeping your money and do not change it.

You may need to start using the real dollar pair. i remember about bittrex will try to replace all of the usdt pairs with real dollar pair in the future. But it seems you can still use usdt until we have a conclusion about the result of an audit by bitfinex team auditor to check the availability of reserve funds to backing tether as the stable token just like the dollar.

For me I still think, Tether is still the best fiat gateway for one not until those projects entering the stablecoin space proof they can delivered on thier promises, for now we now Tether has money in bank but what we are not sure is the amount they have in the bank. but most of these projects don't have any proof they have money to back their tokens

Shady and fishy. (fish in the shadows)  ;D

Use it but dont let it stay there. It is the same as the USD, it just went online. Anytime they can just stop it and who knows, they might not go to jail. Thanks to them a lot of money is wasted and crypto investing might go down for a little.
Be really careful there, just use it as a means of escape.

In my opinion - tether, like an unexploded shell. You never know when it will break (scam). Today they have dismissed their auditors, tomorrow they write all well, we can confirm their tethrs with real money. Then it may turn out that everyone can not.

I'm pretty sure Tether is safe. I wouldn't put too much money in it though, but I'd give that advice for any coin honestly. Just use tether for very short amounts if you think the market is dipping or you just want to store your money somewhere so it won't dip and you can easily buy new coins with it.

I made research tether is ok, nothing is shady about tether bad media is the problem affecting it, i trade tether on daily basis the fact the they are being accused of shady biz.

As I heard the Tether is just like Ripple: the people gonna hype it and artificially rise the price, selling the coin after some level of price. You can earn some fund on that but be ready the coin is speculations only one.

Have you check other alternatives to Tether and the USDT?

If I may suggest a stablecoin, 100% asset-backed: the GLX.

The GLX is going to be traded on the Globcoin Platform now being built. Token pre-sale is open and has a nice bonus.

You don't know when the Bitfinex/Tether bubble will pop.

If they go insolvent, get hacked, decide to print too many Tethers out of thin air, or do anything else that would tip trust into it over the edge Tether could low all of its volume nearly over night.

If you want to use it make sure not to keep any significant amounts of Tether for prolonged periods of time.

Tether is definitely safe to trade, I have tried it couple of times on bittrex, I basically returned back to ethereum and bitcoin quite easily. But I don't trust exchange named bitfinex and I don't plan to hold tether to jump on pumps beforehand.

tether only for change ur coins when market is not stable and I do not advise you to hold it for long term. for example when BTC gonna to crash you can change into Tether then when the current of reverse you can change again into BTC. so that is only for value saving of of your assess. beside this; Tether has some problems with federal rules i some one waiting for solve their problems

Do not use any language other than english here,or you might be banned by the moderators.This is altcoins discussions so we are not allowed to use tagalog language here,you can pm me directly so i can help you with cryptocurrency trading,our fellowmen should help one another.We can make a lot of money in trading if you know what you are doing.

frankly even i get that feel for one has so many questions about how can one coin that remain the same despite volatility

I think that keeping investments in tether is also rather safe. It will not give one any profit, but it will just make the money stay on the same level. This coin is definitely the most stable one, regardless to its supply the price is always extremely close to one dollar.
 So far the team has been doing really great and nothing even close to explosion happened. I believe it means they have enough funds to always keep the situation under control.
Another good alternative to usdt might be binancecoin on binance. It is used for similar purposes, but it's not as stable in terms of the price.

I agree with the opinion of people who believe that the Tether project has a very negative impact on the crypt world as a whole, so I think that it's worth keeping away from projects that destroy the crypto world, it's just a typing machine and nothing more.

Tether's supply is mostly unlimited so it can be use to destroy our whole market by these bankers who backing up the USDT.So i suggest if you want to get in with USDT or tether do not stay for in a long timeframe,because we wont know when this digital fiat would start to crash our crypto community,i personally love to take profits using it bu i wont invest for long term.Take your profit and forget about it,this is how we should play the market,

USDT is a scam. Just go around it, and the exchanges on which it is. Use exchanges that have trades with fiat.

I always stayed away from tether , never understood it to begin with.

No u dont need to stay away from tether if u think about that thing what happen with cosmic tokens what they created but its still in inspection...but now coming another good project mostly like tether its flayngmoney u can look up about it..

Yes you should get of usdt!!

I tell you few reasons why:

1. Why do you think bitfinex has second richest bitcoin wallet? Because they can make usdt out of thin air...

2. you have exchanges where you don't need usdt, but you have usd and eur there... Exchanges: kraken, bitstamp


Now you say, what's the matter, more money for us, etc.. etc... But in crypto we are here because of decentralization, what Dash, ripple, lumen, and god knows how many other "cryptocurrencies" are donig this... it's only an other form of bank...

and by using more and more of usdt, bitcoin will leap in price more and more... bigger and bigger the gap will be, and still you are like: but that's even better for us!!

well I can't argue with that... but i argue with those bankers/banks that they are in a greedy need of owning 50% of assets or creating assets out of air... I mean cum on guys, price manipulation 101
