Bitcoin Forum

Been seeing a lot of talk about stablecoins lately like this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/shermanlee/2018/03/12/explaining-stable-coins-the-holy-grail-of-crytpocurrency/#432e3ce84fc6

What do you guys think about them? My personal favorite would be Havven since they're not pegged to fiat or gold and is trustless.

Never used any of these stable-coins. When I need stable coin, I use USD.
I'm trying to stay away from USDT. After reading a lot about it, I can't trust them and I'm really sceptical about it.
Never heard about Havven? Which exchanges have it? I would like to see more information about, because I tried tosearch and didn't found anything.

I'm not a fan of these fixed conversion rate coin/token like Tether. The same with LTU_btc, I always prefer my own local fiat currency if I want a "stable" status for my investments (PHP).
Also, AFAIK there's no local exchanger for them that's why it could take a longer process for real life usage. (Ex. bitcoin -> Tether -> if I need php / instead of bitcoin -> php )

Nothing turns back with stable coins. Crypto's nature is pumps and dumps. There were the real profit is seen. If the crypto is stable, then i would prefer my own local fiats then a stable coin. And if all crypto coins are going to have a stable value, I don't think everyday we would have a new ICOs coming in and more investors falling in crypto market. So fluctuation in price is the main source of crypto's growth.

I had some interest for Tether, but I have seen some negative speculation about that, so I didn't look for that anymore. The nearest Crypto-Currency to stability that I reach now is DogeCoin. Not so stable, but at least well known already to know it's not a farse and that there isn't anything behind it.

theres no such thing as stable coins when were talking about cryptocurrency because every single crypto is intedly made to be a volatile coin. we dont need stability because we cant just posibly earn a profit if all of the coins became stable. you should better convert your coins to usd or any local currency in order to avoid the dangers of being a volatile. usdt is also good alternative in order to secure your profits from constant fluctuations.

Won't be the first crypto/token to attempt a pegged currency. Tether's dominance might have showed the way to all these projects but its spectacular failings should also present a strong case for saying that they simply don't work and cannot be sustainable.

Volatility is probably something that can't be avoided with something so new. It will take many, many years for bitcoin to mature as a "store of value" - this volatility will always be there for as long as the majority of bitcoin and crypto users continue to see it first as an investment asset and as a speculatory trading commodity. The same patterns can always be seen with new currencies. I myself was very familiar with using one of the world's newest fiat in the South Sudanese pound. It was enforced as a means of payment but ultimately fell victim to trading speculation, with people still preferring to use other currencies, even preferring bartering to paying/receiving it.

Changes value every minute is the only constant in crypto currencies, well my best token right now is Ethereum, it's very useful as a gas in my wallet.

I'm not really sure there is a stable coin I fully trust at the moment. There are a couple that I believe are relatively promising but its the issue with scaling that doesn't seem to be any closer to being solved. The liquidity needed to be a secure stable coin that could potentially support the market will be absolutely huge!

That’s true, but is it disadvantage for an investors. Nope, volatility is one of the assets of bitcoin and ethereum. Buying on dip and selling on a higher price within the week will give you more profit than an stable market price that would last for a month or two. It is risky, but the higher the risk also means higher the profit.

people do trading with crypto and also people usually want to get profit from buy the particular coins such as bitcoin or ETH and some of them are very liked volatility because they able to buy at the lower price and sell at the high price and unfortunately volatility always be a part of cryptocurrencies so i'm not really sure people will liked stable coin

Exactly.
Besides, who need stable coins when you can make profit out of unstable coins  ;D

I wouldn't call this nearest to stable.

This is the exactly same point which hit my mind because we all are here for earning and learning new features of the crypto currency and we really do not want the market to get stable. The stable market is already available in the form of Dollars, Pounds, and Euros etc with bare minimum fluctuations but we have opted for the crypto so that with more fluctuations we can get the chance to earn more in the market with lower level of risks.

I really think havven is the best out of all of them. The Havven platform uses two tokens to achieve stability.

The havven token provides the collateral for the platform. Nomin tokens (stablecoin) are issued against the value of the collateral token. This dual token approach incentivizes users to hold havven tokens because network transaction fees are paid to havven holders. As more people use nomins for everyday transactions, the value of havven tokens will increase due to the higher fees generated.

I recommend everyone to read into this because it really is very interesting. https://havven.io/

This system is way better than trusting what tether is doing with them being so centralized.

It's funny to see that someone is able to pay an article writer just to advertise these coins for his own benefit. I'm not familiar with these "stable coins" but only tether. It can be stable for now but time will come that this can be one of the most frustrating coin or it can be one of the best. We all know that crypto coins are volatile.

Can not agree more. 

The most stable-coin is USD.  If you consider the so called "stable", why do you think about investing crypto coins? You should keep your USD.

USD is not even a coin, is it? It is a real fiat money, cant be called as a coin although most big exchanges let the users to trade USD-Crypto Coins.
I also wondering what is the point of using stable coins like what OP talking about? When we are talking about investing/trading then stable coins = zero profit. I think stable coin is useless at the moment.

There used to be one and only stable coin until the end of 2015, it was litecoin who stabilized at around 4$, it never went down or up more then 10% and was under huge manipulations, now-days, beside Tether which is being backed by the US dollar, I don't think there isn any stable cryptocurrency.
More then that, Tether is not too stable as bitfinex is under investigation to check if they really own the funds to back the tether, if they are found to like about their USD reserve, then tether will be worth nothing as it won't be backed up by anything.

We cannot say that there is a stable coin.In cryptocurrency we have no assurance in any coins unless they had a good stabilization and good developement in the market.We all know that they are flactuating and still volatile any moment they can be gone because nothing is permanent in this world.

I still want bitcoin and that will still my favorite among all coins out there. Yes there are a lot of good coins but if its not on bitcoin, there is no other altcoins. Bitcoin is still the legend.

How not to say and bitcoin is the father of the cryptocurrency, I think it is the most stable

My money is on Havven. ICO sold out in 90 minutes and raised $30M beating Power ledger as an australian-based company for amount raised. There is huge demand for something like this. Their system is the only one that makes sense. I see too many stablecoins try to stabilize the price while tying themselves to something that's not stable----> USD or gold. What a joke.

Lots to anticipate especially for mass adoption. these are going to pave the way for that movement.

Bitcoin is not stable coin since its go with the series of pump and dump schemes which truly love by traders. But you could look the monero since for me that is the most stable coin so far and yet potential one to be hold with. And I would rather search for new potential ICO coins with working platform right now since those are the new thrend and maybe there's one of them would pump more harder in future.

I dont think there is a stable coin in the market. If you look at charts nowadays almost all cryptocurrencies are flactuating. Cryptocurrency is very volatile, no one can predict when will it rise or drop its price. Although in investing you could say there is a stablecoins, by investing in mutliple cryptocurrencies which will allow you to diversify your portpolio to lessen the risk of losing your investment. Having multiple cryptocurrencies in your portpolio compensates the rising or dropping of each individual cryptocurrency. To put it simple, if one or more cryptocurrency in your portpolio drops while the other cryptocurrency rises, making your investment stable.

No coin is a stable coin in the crypto market because every coin depends on the price of Bitcoin, mostly people are majorly holding Bitcoin. Once the price of Bitcoin is kept reducing all other coin price start decreasing.

Simple as that! The main reason why we are here is because we want to invest in a coin with a product and solution and apparently a stable coin which apparently makes it centralized and controlled defeats that objective and since that is defeated, what is then the point? I would just rather stick with fiat like you said, since I know I will have my government to deal with if anything happens, than holding a centralized digital currency.

If I want stable I will move to fiat. What is the point holding a stable coin? It total shows one thing if it is stable, which the fact that it is centralized is, controlled and have nothing to offer than to close the normal fiat. So, why would I even trust those who have decided to launch a stable coin when I can just at least stick to the centralized fiat without worrying? I even find it hard to want to leave my holdings during a trade in USDT considering all the things that have been said.

I have never heard about stablecoins before, this is my first time. But what are they? Are they also cryptocurrency or some kind of different assets? Whenever I need something stable, I usually go with dollars or my main country currency. There are also some cryptocurrencies that are a bit stable. I believe Ethereum is a little more stable when compared to Bitcoin. Their prices can tell.

I don't like the cryptocurrencies to be stable. We already have the flat money which is stable always the unpredictable nature of the cryptocoin price attracts so many traders to the market,so I think stability is not for the cryptocoins.
If we evaluate the coin price in BTC instead of dollar then LTC and ETH price are very much stable I think.

Exactly it is best thing in crypto currency that it is very unstable and it can move high and low, for now there is no currency has been that fluctuated how much fluctuation bitcoin has and it is the most attractive thing about bitcoin. people like bitcoin as when the buy bitcoin at low [rice and then they hold after holding finally they sell at most expensive price of bitcoin which make them happy and grateful, and financially secure, so bitcoin is an unstable coin and I really appreciate my bitcoin saving for it.

Watch their video on their site https://havven.io/

Here's a good read about them too: https://www.forbes.com/sites/shermanlee/2018/03/12/explaining-stable-coins-the-holy-grail-of-crytpocurrency/#432e3ce84fc6

There are still no stable cryptocurrency so far, the main criteria to look for a crytpocurrency is the stability,scalability,decentralization and adaptablity. Most cryptocurrencies are volatile, for its volatility has an advantage for long term goal but a big risk for a short term trade. Even bitcoin as the pioneer of the cryptocurrency have not achieved its stability for its adaption to the masses it still not that wide. If we speak about stability their dependent to fiat or a main USD currency should be abolished and we deeply rely on crypto-crypto exchange and not on crypto to fiat .

I consider Bitcoin and Ethereum as stable coin but not their value, both coin are stable in the top of crypto market which has strong value even their value going dump and pump both coin are consistently profitable. That is why i choose these coins at my bucket to hold for long period of time because i believed that it would be more worth it,

Honestly, I wonder why I would want to leave my coins in all these fixed rate currencies when I can as well just trade it against fiat directly. I feel it is just a way for some devs to just generate some free coins for themselves with no real value or importance since we can just make use of fiat which is already serving that purpose. Even USDT right now is not trustworthy, so at least for something that I am sure I would not end up regretting, fiat remains the best option in this case for holding a stable currency.

You guys all missed the point of this post lol. Havven does all of those things you guys are hoping for. Decentralized? Yes. Trustless? Yes. Not pegged to fiat or gold? Yes.

I would look into havven asap. big project that is going to shake the stablecoin/crypto world. https://havven.io/

Personally, the high volatility of the prices of CryptoCurrency is one of its advantages so I am not encouraged by the kind of stable currencies.
Generally, all rely on centralization making it useless.
One of the most important currencies that have a fixed price and depend on a future model of decentralization is Havven (my favorite stablecoin).

---

I use litecoin as a safe haven in the event of a breakdown

With what has been raised over the few months on tether, it just gives me one reason not to ever take any centralized digital currency seriously. It does not belong to this show and if I want to have my money in a stable currency, fiat is already serving that purpose at least, and the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know.

I see stable digital currencies as worthless and of no serious value or anything special it offers and as long as it is that way, I do not want to wake up one day to start hearing stories.

USDT is only one being stable in the crpyto currency market. Except this all the other crypto currencies will not be stable. Since the price volatility is high in the all cryptocurrency market you cannot expect the stability at all bro.
If you want to invest on stability income means you can go with mining. That too will fluctuate according to the difficulty changes on the number of investors increasing for the concern coin buddy. So op would not find the answer at all.

The concept of "stable" is not combined with the notion of "crypto-currency". Because now everyone is talking about crypto-currencies and how easy to earn money here and this attracts many inexperienced traders. In turn, big whales know about this and use newcomers. Therefore, I think for a long time there will not be a stable coin

Bitcoin and Etherum must be.The RFR and CRED are among the most stable ones.I have enough coins, but I think RFR and CRED are my favorite coins. I think these coins are stable.Anyway, bankex coins are among them.

I like that havven stands for everything I'm looking for: decentralized, trustless, and not pegged to fiat/gold. Great coin to be looking into.

Its known to all that,in the world nothing is stable and nothing is permanent..in cryptocurrency every  coin are not stable.every coin are stay in up and down.bitcoin stay in top of cryptocurrency world.at last I like bitcoin.

Cryptos generally are not that stable in nature. As its not being regulated so the stability factor is out of question and this also helps for people to expect the significant movement happening and you can make money from this rise.

We all know in crypto world there is no stable in price. The prices of coins are going up and down. Even bitcoin is also not stable in current situation but we can trust bitcoin. Because always bitcoin is the king in crypto world. No other coin will beat bitcoin. The price will have fluctuations but it will not never go down.

I love how everyone is saying the same thing yet the project itself is solving that issue. If you guys would juts read into the tech then you would know that their system solves price volatility of crypto LOOOOOL. Watch the video on their home page: https://havven.io/

Ziliqua has been my very best most stable coin.it hardly dumps i might also consider credits also

Havven is the best imo. Anything that's not pegged to fiat or gold is great in my books. I think a lot of people forget the importance of trustless systems. That's the reason crypto exists. The other stablecoins in the market just act like banks lol.

Bank is bullshit if you want to spam and wanna give wrong turn you may go to off topic and make your post. Here forum DT and moderators expect the guys who are willing learn more about cryptos and taking the positive move about it.
But all the guys like shows the fake information about cryptos in the market and then some media channel also supporting the fake news ads with the help of world banking corporates.

My best token right now is Ethereum. It can be stable for now but time will come that this can be one of the most frustrating coin or it can be one of the best. We all know that crypto coins are volatile.

My favourite once is Ripple. The Market cap of Ripple is good along with its Volume and the price is stable. Neither it goes damn high nor damn low.  It is stable and that's why I like it so much.I hope it remains as it is.

To be Honest i haven't seen a sort of "stablecoin", even fiat, if you will just keep your fiat from time to time it will stay to what value it is in your beloved country but when traded to other country then the price always fluctuates it's either it goes up or down, so in other words there is no stability. I think OP is saying , what is your favorite coin that doesn't drop it's price double than the growth.

There's no such thing as an stable crypto currency even the most popular and with a good technology coin fluctuate's. Even for bitcoin because that is the nature of an decentralized digital money, volatility is in it's nature. The good thing about volatility is it enables you to profit unlike the stagnant stock market.

I totally agree on your post, the volume of bitcoin and other altcoins is totally can change its value every single minute. Sounds like, the only constant in crypto currency is changes, even local currency of course. So don't expect the word stablecoin.

ETH and DASH. But it will not be right to call them stablecoins.

Havven is my favorite coin. Lots of progress with them too.

My favourite sitcoin it ripple. i hope it gonna do another ride like dec last year at it's ATH ot was a really good moment to take profit.

Ripple is a low value coin, but it is really amazing coin. It is more powerful coin than Litecoin, Dash, Etc. Its really a stale coin, its value getting a little down than other altcoin. Peoples love this coin really.  I like ripple personally. I also support Dash, NEO, XLM.

My favorite stable coin are these  ;)

(ETH & NEO )

What kind of stability can we talk about? If it's an e-currency that constantly jumps up then down

best for ever and stable coin is ethereum after btc this is the business if you think like astrologer then really you can not get anything from here think positive people are saying nothing is permanent please do not predict when you do not know anything, i agree with conditions which is going right now ethereum price is low but this is the stable coin i can say that surely.

xrp when green market
usdt when red market

The main investment I have is bitcoin since I consider it to be the most stable coin at the moment and also it has the largest volume on the crypto market  :)

I had a bitcoin and etherium, with this token, I can assure my profit not my loss, This two coins that I had has a big impact in crypto world in trading exchanges.

Havven is a good stablecoin project. Found this that describes what they do:


I see a HUGE need for this in the market and for mass adoption in general.

Some of the exchanges provides a chance to exchange your bitcoin to usd not usdt which still I think is a better idea then trust some cryptocurrency with "stable" rate, that's not also a bad idea but trusted exhcange is better then cryptocurrency

Yes this exactly. Lots of people in this thread dont understand what a stablecoin is lol. I've been very impressed with their fast development and launch. This is what they posted - https://blog.havven.io/the-full-launch-of-eusd-is-coming-next-week-43e3f9ddc79

I'm glad Litecoin and ETC, especially LTC that keeps stable even though the other coins down considerably,
I invested in 5 different coins and only LTC did not really make me lose because of the price drop.

I see a big future for Havven especially. The CEO also owns blueshyft (like square but in australia). I can really see them integrating or somehow reaching the mass market with havven. we need a stablecoin imo

Bitshares' bitUSD has been holding its decentralized and autonomous peg since 2014. It operates on free market dynamics, is collateralized >1.5x by the BTS token, and trades on its own decentralized exchange.

https://wallet.bitshares.org/?r=del.coinhoarder

I want to say, I'm not sure there is a stable coin that I believe is entirely current. And we do not need stability because we can not make a profit if all the coins stabilize. You'd better change your coins into USD or local currency to avoid the dangers of being easy to change. And maybe USD  is an alternative to profit.

For me, my favorite was ETH.Everytime I got paid from work, I will topup my wallet so I can buy ETH. I have been doing it for months now and I don't have any plans on stopping it. I will continue to do it until November. I will sell it before Christmas because I will be needing the money by that time. My ETH will be my savings for this year and hopefully it will go up again.

I Think BTCUI And HighT coin is best :)

what are you talking, what stability you speak, capitalization has fallen in several times, now there is no stable coins anywhere, i think now hold only fiat and wait the turnback

some of these people in this thread are posting just to spam lol. this thread is about stablecoins. if you don't know what that means, look it up.

in good news today, havven released their audit - https://blog.havven.io/read-the-eusd-audit-report-by-sigma-prime-9540f0cb5464

havven all the way. planning on picking some up on kucoin

I only have bitcoin and this coin is a stable coin for me and since it is a king of all coins so thats the reason why i only have bitcoin because i know that it can give me a big profit and other coins only depending bitcoin like if the price of bitcoin rise their prices is also increase and if the price of bitcoin decrease the price of other coins will also decrease thats why i can tell that their only depending bitcoin.

In my opinion, I have always believed in investing altcoin in the top # 100 on https://coinmarketcap.com. I hope to draw well in the second half of 2018

For me, the best stable coin is Eth because aside from being the most widely considered and used cryptocurrencies in the world, big companies adopt the use of this coin since its technology and platform are much advance and we'll adopted by many investors.

They are necessary for crypto currencies mass adoption in economy and industries. Mass adoption needs stability, but current stablecoins have too many flaws.

ETH, BTC, LTC, etc are NOT stablecoins. Ethereum is developing it's own stablecoin - World Trade Francs (WTF)

https://blog.ethereum.org/2018/04/01/announcing-world-trade-francs-official-ethereum-stablecoin/

Ethereum is developing its own stable coin? Never knew about this. Thanks for the information. Coming to the question posted by op, I wouldn't rely on stable coins like USDT(Controversial) etc since unstability is an inherent property of cryptocurrencies which can be minimized, but cannot be eliminated completely. I feel like most stable coins could end up being scams since no coin or token is completely stable in this extremely volatile crypto market which is why I advise not investing into such coins. Instead, focus on investing into popular coins like Bitcoin etc.

Havven is my favorite stablecoin and overall project this year. Great idea and team

Haha, good one ;D Look at the date and the official ticker symbol ...

The Forbes article is quite bad (typical "contributor" level). They do not even mention Bitshares (already mentioned by CoinHoarder (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=34423995), NuBits, and the Steem dollar. I'm getting impression that the "author" thinks that crypto begun with ERC20 tokens  ::)  (in fact, Dai is pretty similar to BitShares).

Havven, however, was new to me. The system reminds me a bit of BItshares' "peer to peer collateral" but has some unique features like the transaction fees that add value to the collateral. However it seems still a system that relies pegs to fiat currencies (e.g. eUSD) and other "real world assets".

What is my favourite? For now, clearly Bitshares. NuBits has proven to be unreliable and the peg eventually collapsed, the Steem Dollar, in contrast, appreciated way too much for some time (so it became risky to buy it), and the centralized stablecoins (Tether et. al.) aren't really better than PayPal (only that you can track them on a public blockchain, but you can't track the reserves behind it). Dai and Havven can be competitors to BTS but we'll see if their pegs hold.

Yup... I agree with you. Whenever I need to make sure that my investment doesn't go down in value, I just convert them to USD. Tether is going through a lot of problems now. I will not trust that currency until they publish their audit findings.

We are as holder or investor in crypto world should know what is the main characteristic of crypto. Crypto has very volitle and it will never been stable.
If the bitcoin or other altcoin are stable then nobody will involve in bitcoin world because people  like its volatile to make profit from.it.

Yeah right, bitcoin is the king of crypto and it decided the value of other crypto currencies. If it goes up, others go up too. If it goes down, others are also down. So the most trusted coin of course is bitcoin but can't say it is stable. It is highly volatile but that's how the crypto works. Because of its volatile nature, we earn huge amount of profits too.

I chose the maker dao, because Maker Dao is supported by ETH and their coins are stable. Koi is in my opinion very profitable if managed properly. In part its shortcomings move slowly but it is not a problem of slow moving origin in the rise and stable prices are not volatile

Well, do you really convert it into "USD" or, for example, into "BitstampUSD"?

Exchange "USD" wallets are equally risky than Tether and other centralized "stablecoins". You could obviously try to use the most "established" ones (like Bitstamp) but I think everybody here remembers an exchange called oficially "Magic The Gathering Online eXchange" ;D

(There is actually an exception: There are a few European exchanges, like Paymium, that store their USD funds in a wallet of a partnering "bank-like" payment processor. In this case, if the exchange ceased to operate, in theory the State "backs" the losses and will return amounts below 100000 EUR as part of the Deposit Insurance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposit_insurance#European_Union).)

I see the development of coins getting a day is getting better. so for the value of all coins were able to become the green market. but the development of each coin is uncertain because not all coins are having a stable development. Litecoin is a coin with the development of stable enough.

I want to say if I am not a fan of this fixed convertible coin/token like Tether. But I have seen some negative speculation about it, so I am not looking for it anymore. Crypto-Currency is closest to the stability that I get now. And also we do not need stability because we can not benefit if all coins become stable. You should change your coins into USD or local currency to avoid the dangers of being volatile.

Heh, yea. Sorry about that, was April Fool’s joke. There will be no WTF. My bad, I didn't check the details sufficiently.

I have created a List of Stablecoins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3421190.0). It includes only coins where the collateral or "backing reserves" are hold decentrally, so Tether et al. are not included.

I have identified two different "stablecoin mechanisms":
- decentralized issuing of stablecoins based on collaterals (BitShares, Dai, Havven ...)
- "floating supply" systems where supply is adjusted to demand - when price is low, tokens are taken out of circulation, and when price is high, new tokens are created (NuBits, Seigniorage Shares, Basis ...)

While I continue to believe that the BitShares protocol (and similar protocols like Havven and Dai/MakerDAO)  is much more solid than simple Nubits-based approaches (NuBits recently again fell under 60 cents  ::) ... ) the Basis (formerly Basecoin) protocol got my attention. It is, however, still in development and I have also not found information about its licensing terms, so it may be closed source or even patented.

Basis works a bit similar to NuBits but has a crucial difference: In low demand periods, supply is reduced by the system. But you can, in this case, buy "bonds" which are worth 1 Basis coin but have a lower price, and the Basis coins you used to buy them will be burnt. They will be returned 1:1 when the price is high. But if the price stays low, bonds eventually expire and get burnt totally. So the system can "contract" really - while in the case of NuBits and Seigniorage Shares it will continuosly expand.

the stable coin is everyone's dream. I see Altcoin has a fairly stable market. so having a stable coin is pretty good and satisfying. Ripple is an Altcoin that has a fairly stable development. So by having it quite profitable.

Huobi (https://coincodex.com/exchange/huobi/) developed an integrated solution called HUSD that targets multiple stablecoins. The feature will allow users to deposit USDC, GUSD, PAX, and TUSD to Huobi, and the equivalent amount of HUSD will show up on the user’s Huobi account.

https://coincodex.com/article/2516/huobi-introduces-husd-solution-to-simplify-stablecoin-trading/

   Hey jack107! A stable coin is riskier than USD since it has additional counterparty risk. It is also worse than other decentralized crypto assets in that regard.

I think soon we can trade direct from cryptocurrency to fiat money. And I think stable coins will exist but it will have other function for cryptocommunity than for now.

I do not have any favorite stable coin because stable coins are for people who are scared to actually take any kind of risks with their money in order to make more money. I like the fact that cryptocurrencies are volatile, that is how you make money from investments, when the prices are down you buy and when they go up you sell, you just have to be patient enough to make the volatility work in your favor

Hi, I do not have at the moment my favorite stablecoin. I do not trust Tether but also do not trust other stablecoin. I think it's not a bad TrueUSD as stablecoin but I am not sure about its reliability.

surely the very stable and suitable coin for long-term investment is BTC, but there are still many altcoins that have good potential for long-term investment because of the stable price of EOS, NEO and XRP

Before talking about some stable projects, I must say that today in the world of cryptocurrency there are no projects that would guarantee you 100% stability and security, because these are cryptocurrencies that definitely will not be so soon.

The most stable coin is USDT and i love to hold it and play scalping trade to other coins in a short time :D
Also bitcoin, i always hold some bitcoins

My favourite stable coin is still tether. I believe tether. You know tether backed by bitfinex. and they have huge marketcap. There are too many fuds always about tether. But i think that is normal.
They are really big and there is not regulations still in that space. Because of that they dont have to announce any private informations about their company or bank etc. I think that is normal too.
I believe tether and i am using tether when i need to wait on dollar.

Not sure as I haven't done much due diligence on the topic. The only thing I know is that I will definitely stay away from Tether and may go for trueUSD or any other one that has been recently listed on Binance. I have heard good things about Dai as well.

i think the most stable is fiat, even btc can't be stable, you can convert your money to usd or to your own currency after trading or any transaction for safety.

I prefer some exchange that supports USD (like bittrex, coss, livecoin) but for cryptocurrency I think the one will take place and most users will be TUSD

VOTE HERE FOR BEST STABLECOIN:

https://discover.apester.com/media/5b9a838ad4b9a9d70c6fb3fd

If you select "something else" list it here

I am not a very big fan of stable coins because i do not think that any of them are sustainable since their projects are not the kind that people are going to want to invest in given that an asset that does not move is least likely to make you any kind of money or profit but I would have to pick tether as the stable coin to go with since it has the highest number of investors

I think there is only one way out for those people who do not have a strategy for reducing their risks. First of all, I want to draw attention to the USDT coins, which remain stable throughout the history of its existence.

my vote will go for USDT along with bitcoin, im hodl as much as possible

today, a stable coin can only be used to wait out the bad state of the market. Of course, every trader works with a coin, which fluctuates in price and earns with the help of price difference.

My favorite stable coin Paxos Standard Token(PAX). because it is controlled by a stable coin. Having a stable coin approved by the state of New York gives confidence. A stable coin approved separately from the SEC.

Every stablecoin is good and bad in some way. There are multiple kinds of stablecoins, too. The biggest ones right now like Tether, are seeing backlash because there is much controversy around if they are actually backing their tokens 1:1 with a USD.

I personally don't think there's any coin to be considered stable. Like you said, if coins become stable that means day traders will be out of business because they get profit from rise and fall of coins.

I agree, stablecoins aren't actually 'stable' at all.

Your favorite coin havven token but I think or my favorite coin is Binance coin. If you do your perfect calculate you will see BNB token price is stable.

My favourite coin is USDC by Circle. Firstly, I know for sure that they've passed an indempendent audit. And on their banks deposits they have enough funds. $307 280 744. Today it is the most safe coin for trading and holding.

I used to use usdt. It seems to me that this token is the most popular now. And this means that it is the most reliable.

And the most complicated aswell, I heard from some people that uses USDT or atleast store their wealth value in USDT asked for their importand data or went through KYC process. That'd be really troublesome for people if the money were frozen in the process.

I think for stable coins It depends on the exchanger am using to make my funds stable

For some exchange its tether
For some it’s usdt, usd or usdc

I prefer usd, I don’t know why though

Like it or hat it, Tether is still the best Stablecoin in the space, if others can proof they have a billion Dollars in their bank accoun then I will start to take them serious. Tether has done so much for the space than the credits its gets from the whole space because if not for Tether is possible BTC will still below $1000 some people may disagree with this

My favorite stable coins are those which are decentralized. I do not believe in those backed by fiat or gold etc.
 I like the most the mechanism behind DAI as it is fully decentralized and works on the principle of natural
 supply and demand and motivation of the participants.

I like your opinion about not being pegged to a fiat or gold. I find Ampleforth peaking my interest lately due to their elastic supply policy. It's a really unique "stablecoin" (if we even want to call it that) imo.

For a long time I liked usdt or tether. Cause everybody use that. I dont know why many people said that we don't need stable coins. But I think for a trader like me stable coin is very helpful at least for me. I don't know the mechanism of it but it save my money most of the time. But after the usdt incident I just decided to divided the most of it. If I have to hold stable coin now I hold some in usdt tusd and gemini. Stablecoun is helpful for me.

I have many favorites on my list. But what do you mean by stable coins? You mean comparatively stable coins? As the market is volatile, there are not such stable coins as you have talked about. But established and promising coins I think are ripple, ethereum, eos, stellar, cardano. Ripple is one of my best coins that have much future. I think it will dominate the market in the coming years.

Bitcoin still my favorite coin so far because always could be stronger when price is down, how many time bitcoin price lower but could back at higher price and it will be bitcoin more power full coin so far.

I remain in my favorite asset ethereum, because I like the platform they have and I also believe in the advanced concepts they are running, especially since they have updated thier versions for the better

Good article and grear explanation regarding volatile vs stable coin. Now everyone depending on stable coin because every day initial portfolio reduced specially mostly BTC holder going to convert BTC to USDT. There are few stable coin in the cryptocurrency such as USDT,TUSD,USDC. My favorite one TUSD if USDT is mostly using and highest volume among all of them but there are many rumours spreading a couple of times i heard.               

I think there is no such thing as stable coin. If i were to choose a coin to be stabilized its the ethereum coin because several of the ico uses this as for their project rewards.

Actually there are many stable coins in the market.

• USDT
• USDC
• Paxos
• GUSD

And many more..

Ethereum isn't a stable coin.

In my opinion, there are a lot of stable coin in a fiat currency, for example usdt, this coin is a lot of controversy because some say it's the same as the dollar and some say it's not the same as dollat, so after I found out about this coin that turned to coins

In my opinion, havven is not a stable coin. If I can remember the last time it traded, that was before late last year and it is not on matketcap listing site.
Stable coins are coins that have little or no disparity in price or value and examples of such are USDT, GUSD, TUSD and some others that are accepted as standards for coin pairing. Every other coin is subject to volatility.

Honestly, Ampleforth because it falls in line more with true crypto than any stablecoin.

In some ways TUSD, USD USDT is perfect stable coin. If you looking for top stable coin so I can only see TRON and BNB this stable coin. TRON has a best future.

Neither TRON or BNB are stablecoins, though.

If we're talking stablecoins, DAI is pretty good.

I use only one stable coin. It seems to me that USDT is the most stable and reliable token at the moment.

On these coins is also not stable , I believe that the stability of the dollar mean for me it's only 2 coins usdt and usdc

+1 for DAI. Also use USDC whenever possible.
Too bad tether is the most common one, I have to use USDT as well

My ethereum remains a stable coin it goes with a great team to a great goal, making new developments. He has an excellent runway for income.

I tend to trust USDC the most, however USDT is the most widely accepted one so that's the one I use the most. I assume most of you see things the same way, and the USDT market cap proves this.

Stablecoin means I only understand USDC, TUSD, and only fiat! There is no stable coin in the crypto market! But I am loving with Counting House Token! Recently a good friend suggested me in the telegram, then I started going through with CHT Token and now I am very happy with it. Though this is not a 100% stable coin but only profits are happening there because of buyback service. Besides this, I prefer BNB and NPXS token as a kind of stable coin!

I don't have any favorite. I don't think they are different from USD if they are a really stable coin, so I will use any of them when I need a conversion to crypto-fiat. But I heard somewhere in social media that Gemini USD is a good one among all other.

my favorites are true usd because new and on the blockchain of eth and the future ekon because it will have gold behind it

Stable coins are US dollars backed coins that will protect the value of a person's cryptocurrency when it is converted. This means that aside from a few cents fluctuation below and above $1 the price pretty much is constant.
For this reason I don't see any point in choosing a favorite stable coin because they all serve the same purpose.
I use binance to trade mostly, this means that I use USDT mostly.

My most stable coin that I like and would want to invest in anytime is waves.  I so much love its platform and adoption.

DAI is actually the best one because of amazing MakerDAO algorithm. But USDT is still my number one by usage.

I wish I started to use more stable coins before the market drop but I guess I really didn’t trust USDT to do the job

Now we have a lot of stable coins and I tend to like those that have more liquidity and have a good auditing systems like TrueUSD and Paxos

Hopefully there’s a lot of stable coins to choose from and better manage the next bull run!

Since I got into Cryptocurrencies, I have been using just one stable coin and that is USDT, I have been meaning to check out the others but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

my favorite coin is of course tether, because the coin tether is well integrated and is also suitable for fiat money reserves. I like tether. besides, my other favorite coins are ethereum and bitcoin.

As for me i don't like stable coins at all. Stability is a relative concept. Stable coins are stable against USD because now it is the world currency but they have no future. In the future USD will lose its dominance and decentralize currencies will take its place. Real stability can be only in currencies with limited supply.

all coins are not stable even bitcoin because it has a market price volatility. Well if you are looking for a good crypto which market price is stable then I suggest to hold USDT. This is more stable coins when it comes market price. Yet, I prefer BTC. This is the only crypto dominated in the market and this will not going to fall that easily unliks other alt coins.

There is no stable coin in crypto world because everything changes in an instance and we can't control it. If  you are looking for an stability then cypto coins is not what you are looking for. Everything here is always changing and is volatile. That is the nature of crypto coins and it is really volatile. We should just be wise to buy coins with good potentials.

If we talk about stablecoin, we should of course mention about the USD Tether or TrusUSd because those coins always maintain a price by burning some coins or add more coins in the market. You can't expect cryptocurrency to be stable because those are not regulized by anyone. By the way, we don't like volatility? Or we don't like volatility for the sake of bearish market?

Still I don't get an idea about the stablecoin. As an ethereum supporter I think that DAI is a very interesting project but I need to understand better how it works

stable coin that I like is only USDT, USDC and PAX and I don't know it besides stable coin besides that.
I think currently stable coin is a good choice for investment because the coin price always decreases, maybe bitcoin and altcoin will go down even further.

ethereum is still very good I think. apart from the teamwork system there is a large community and market owned by ethereum. need analysis of several new projects. now there are a lot of new platforms that are being noticed by many investors in the crypto market.

My favourite stablecoin is USDT (Tether). Just because it most popular and most exchanges (including my favourite exchange Bittrex) are accepting it. I can use it anywhere actually.

Tether USD is my favourite one, because it is already existing for a long period of time. There are so much stable coins at the moment and nobody knows which one worth trust. I will stay by the oldest one, because I think it is simply safer.

This bear market proves that there are no coins with stable prices on the market except for USDT or something similar. So if you are looking for a stable coin, then you can put trust in Tether, but I think such coins are less challenging and difficult to get big profits if our capital is small.
if I personally don't like stablecoin.

My favorite stable coins are darkpay coin, cryptrade coin, worldcryptoforum coin they are made of rock solid with good management of the team towards to its goals.

USDT for sure, because of its popularity, market cap and liquidity. When at least one of the stable coins reaches approximately the same indicators as USDT, it will be possible to choose it as an alternative.

I honestly don't like stable coins, but as far as I know USDT (Tether) is a stable coin that is a favorite of many people, if you are looking for stable coins then USDT can be the right choice. many people choose stable coins today because market conditions continue to decline

I prefer USDT simply because it accepted across various exchange platforms and it also paired with numerous altcoins which make more acceptable than other stable coins

I like DAI, because you can store your crypto and get stable coins as a crypto backed loan.
It is like a convenient tool to allow investors to get a loan and then to buy more crypto or to waste it for own purposes cashing out

stablecoins that I like is Tether because he has a lot of markets and also a local exchange where I accept a lot of Tether, but besides that sometimes I use True USD

USDT is better and safer, I chose it and some people here choose the same coin. sounds stupid but there's no other trusted coin.
everyone has a different opinion.  ;D

I am still using USD coin to power up my tether defense when the market has unexpected drop. But I think all the stable coins have no problem at all, because likely their name was stable, so it means that their prices were also stable to a single usd.

I would say TUSD as my favourite Stable coin.With the questions raised on USDT many Stable coins have emerged in latter part of 2018. Technically TUSD has a far better process of proving the USD backing.

That's not necessarily true actually. Have you heard of Ampleforth's elastic supply policy?

Stablecoins are becoming more of a convenience for day traders and a popular way to hedge against volatility for investors and it really depends on what exchanges you are using and what kind of fees are involved, and not all of them are trustworthy i.e. have a fully transparent publicly available audit to backup their reserves so make sure you don't make frequent use of any that don't have these assurances

We cannot say at all that there is stable coins in the market because every minute coins prices is changing anytime but i could say if there is a stability the ethereum i think because until now the price of ethereum was not low in $100.

market movements are unpredictable because their movements can change rapidly and now there is often a red market. favorite coins and coins that have the potential to decrease in value, so there is currently nothing stable.
maybe Ethereum can go up again but if he rises as high as he ever reaches the highest score, in my opinion it's very difficult, because now the value is far from what he has ever achieved.
