In a dreaded bear market that's lasts a long time, do you think that stablecoins are the definite solution for preserving one's investments?

So far, there has been a few stablecoins like Tether and NuBits which have gone lower than $1 at rare occasions. For investors depending on stablecoins as safe-haven assets against a bear market, this brings some disappointment. Still, stablecoins are able to retain their value against the USD most of the times. If they remain as is, then one could simply pour money into stablecoins to protect yourself against a long-lasting bear market. If prices for cryptocurrencies on the market go even lower than usual, you can even sell your stablecoins back into crypto to get more coins for your money. But this might turn to be extremely risky in a volatile crypto market.

What are your thoughts? ???

Stablecoins are necessary when there's uncertainty surrounding the market, traders who would want to secure their funds against any sudden downturn will be safe with stablecoins.

If I were to be anticipating an extended bear market, I'd rather just take the fees of converting my crypto to fiat money and keep that fiat money until I see market conditions improving and convert it back to cryptocurrencies later. One main advantage that stablecoins have is that they can be traded just like fiat dollars but without the string attached with trading with fiat, which is partly why so many traders use stablecoins, but you lose that when you're keeping the stablecoin for an extended period of time.

I also see most stablecoins as being slightly risky even though they might claim to be extremely safe and secure, especially Tether. I don't use Tether, I don't plan on ever using it, and I certainly won't be holding it.

Stablecoins serves its purpose to retain the capital of the investors. It might not be the "definite" solution for the bear market but stablecoins helps traders trade without losing much from altcoins. I'd say it's a good solution for traders and investors a like because they don't have to convert their capital into a shitty coin to avoid Bitcoin losses.

In my opinion stable coin / token is not a solution for the bear market. Because of that level of trust and regulations that need to be improved. Because coins that are declared stable coins turn out to be unstable prices like this

Not really the solution. The solution against a bear market is a way to remove the bear altogether and let the bulls enter. But if it is enough that there is a certain coin in which we can leave our holdings safe and stable while the bear market is still very much present, then a stablecoin is enough. I have been using stablecoins to put my holdings in times when the market is not as bullish as I want. I do it especially if I already made a profit and the price looks falling. I pull my coins out and convert them into USDT.

Most of my friends, traders, secure their assets from degradation by buying stable coins. From here I understand that Stablecoin is one way to secure assets. Due to uncertain market conditions also make them take preventive steps. I personally have never even bought a stable coin, what I did was withdraw it to Fiat directly but not transferred to a bank account. So at any time I want to trade, I don't need to deposit again to a local exchange in my country. Because I just don't want to be complicated.

Actually stable coins is little much helpful for this current event since by buying it we can assure that we will never get de-valued whatever happen to the market today or tomorrow but actually in other hand I think it's not a best solution for traders who occasionally store their capitals in their wallets since possible theirs still a risk and for this better to do a cash out with fiat which I actually doing whenever there's a chance to win on my trades.

Stable coin can be alternative for who really want to take rest from trading activity in bear market. Or maybe save fiat to wait lowe price if still want to trade. Any solution means something that really can be used for people no matter what it is. Keep trading, take a rest, buy stable coin, is god as long we are not lose in our investment.

Well said, in bear market stable coins is the only savior we had aside from converting crypto to fiat. converting it to stable coins are the ones we can use if we wanted to go away for a while in trading or holding crypto.

I think stablecoin is suitable for storing our funds from this bad market. Because they are stable and manageable so we are safer than the risk of loss. But if for investment it is not very suitable this stablecoin if to keep from the bear market I think it is a good solution.

Stablecoin is a good method to protect you investments in a bear market in my opinion.
Really big stablecoin will come back to 1 after every big drop

It might be a solution for this kinda bear market for God knows until how long will this last.
Turning to stablecoins could be a breath of fresh air for the one who wants to leave the bear market for a while without worrying too much about price decrease or things.
Since as you know stablecoins is designed to minimize the volatility of market prices. All in all, everything has its own risks, so prepared for anything.

There's also another way to survive in this bear market, which is saving your assests into fiat money. Well, at least it will save you a bit of trouble.

it can be done, and I don't think that's a bad way. Stablecoin is indeed quite reliable when the bear market. investing in stablecoin when prices are low is the right choice. and we can get bigger profits when big coins like bitcoin / ethereum go down.

Stable coins can only be good if you dont want  to earn profit from it. But if you are looking for profit you should choose altcoins,
If they can add use casses of stable coin this is good coins for  selling items since its stable.

I have been trading coins like verge, neo, xem, drop against bitcoin thinking that this is the best way to secured my fund against volatility but I finally find out that I loss more but since I started converting my bitcoin to stablecoin like usdt, usdc and pal I have been making consistent profits. Stablecoin is not only solution for bear market but the less risk way to making money from cryptocurrencies market trading.

What we need to know first is that cryptocurrency has very high risks and returns, so it must be prepared with all the risks involved. The market is very volatile as you can see.
Stablecoin might be an alternative but there is still a possibility stablecoin will also experience a sharp decline at any time.
If I prefer to give up some of my money specifically for investment here, whatever the risk, even if it runs out.
For us, small traders will find it difficult to change market conditions, because we basically will only follow according to what is happening in the market now.

Even when Stablecoins go below $1, that doesn't last for long as it adjusts soon afterwards, it usually happens when there is a sudden dip in the market, and sometimes the price is also above $1 as well, could happen during a pump or dip but the most important thing is that this is usually very temporary, so Stablecoins are a store of value when you want to maintain the $$ value of the coins you hold, like me and my friends usually say, when we don't want the blue of any coin we hold to chnage, we just tether them or set stop-loss against the USDT pair in an exchange.

they are still consistent with their goal of remaining stable not far from $ 1, bearish conditions make many trades suffer losses and traders finally consider using stable coins. In its development, Tether is also not always a passive asset, they are starting to be considered in futures options, the risk is indeed greater, but it is far better in the calculation of profits owned by altcoin at this time.

It's what we mostly believed that it could be a solution during a bear market or even not. A simple trade that you just want to retain the value of your profit can be stored on stable coins. I see the idea why you're asking this and you've given a perfect example with nubits. I see the current price of it and it's totally a big mess for those that have put their wealth on it. There's also a tendency that these known stable coins can have a miserable ending just like it.

To keep price at bay? Yes, and the only thing they are good for is trading, i won't recommend keeping huge funds on stable coins like USDT and others, the only stable coin i trust is DAI because it's decentralized

I dont think holding stablecoin is a good solution in bear market because in some exchange we can trade this with real dollar, btc, altcoins,... So while crypto price still being effect by lots of things, i suggest not to keep stable coin as asset. If you want to stable your investment, then go all in real dollar. If still want to keep stable coin as asset and a new law release to shut that stable coin off, then who can guarantee you can get back your money.  :-\

stablecoin is used to exchange currency to fiat in the form of digital currency because its value is based on original fiat, this is very helpful to protect people's money when the market is down.
people also use it to wait for the right moment to buy, or just use it to maintain the value of their assets.

this is good plan and i try this plan too. After trade i laways move my assets to slablecoins to avoid loss when i stop to trade.
and i always calculate my profit and loss in stablecoins after trade.

If one wants to stay in crypto then definitely fiat backed coins like usdt and usdc etc are the answer but you have to be sure of bear market otherwise you may end up in severe losses and can miss out on potentially massive gains.

Stablecoin can now be used as a solution to secure the city's assets from falling prices which are increasingly gloomy. But it should be noted that when buying stablecoin we must really buy when the price of the coin is positioned at the base price because in trading stablecoin also fluctuates, only this stablecoin has an excess price value will not fall from the basic value set by the exchanger, and I too secure my assets at Stablecoin. Just a concern whether the exchanger who supports this stable coin can survive and not experience internal conflicts or theatrics like that already.

Exactly like that. Stablecoins will keep you safe in the bear market, you will secure your investment and wait for the right time to start buying altcoins when they have bottomed out and profit from them. Sometimes the price of stablecoins also fluctuates but it is not really significant, we can still control it

I think its not the solution, the things that is happening to the market is normal, those people who really don't have a clue why the coins price is going up and down, really dont know what they are doing, it means they are just going with the flow, fomo we should say, or just testing what is crypto and try to make profit because they have friendsnwho are in to crypto as you see the market looks simple but to really know it you really need tonstudy it carefully I hope you understand what I mean god bless

So far, stable coins are still very recommendations to be a substitute for fiat money because prices are stable for risk I think very small so everyone is not too worried because until now there has not been a problem with stable coins

Stablecoins for saving the funds for bear market is one of solution we can take. Usually bearish market took 3 month to recover its price or get stable from volatile. Why we don't withdraw all our money from market and use it for real project or business? Then after we can see an opportunity to get back to market we can buy coins from our real project's profit then make it grow while your business still running. Think about that cash flow that you guys can do.

I think faith in fiat is quite risky aswell. The main risk of stablecoins is their reliance on fiat currencies for stability. Long-term savings for non-deflationary currency like fiat is risky due to inflation ... hence not a good store of value. Better to just diversify your holdings

I believe that stable coins are indeed a good way to keep their money in a long bear market. Moreover, stable coins make it possible to be sure that you will not lose your funds and they will remain in the same amount. In general, stable coins are now gaining momentum in the cryptocurrency market and are already in great demand among the community.

Let's hope that stablecoins retain their price for the foreseeable future. After all, there are some stablecoins (like DAI) which depend on algorithms to succeed (not backed by USD reserves). Perhaps, exchange-backed stablecoins like Gemini Dollar and Binance USD have better chances of retaining their price of $1 per coin across the crypto market. For once, there was a stablecoin named "NuBits" which promised to be worth $1 per coin. It had a mechanism where the burned supply of NuShares maintained the price of $1 per NuBit across the market. The concept failed, and now 1 USNBT is worth a lot less than 1 USD. I'm afraid this could happen with most stablecoins that are not backed by real USD reserves.

While I agree stablecoins prove to be a great solution for a bear market, they're not perfect. It's best for a person to sell his/her coins into real USD and save that money in a Bank account to prevent any further losses. Until the crypto space becomes widely regulated by governments in  the mainstream world, we cannot have a guarantee that stablecoins will retain their price for the foreseeable future. As of now, the best-performing stablecoins on the market are bitUSD, Binance USD, Gemini Dollar, Tether, DAI, and TrueUSD. Time will tell us whenever the idea of stablecoins will prove to be worth it over time or not. Hopefully, these coins would maintain their value of $1 USD per coin so that investors could trust the crypto market. Just my thoughts ;D

I'm not really that attracted to the idea of a stable coin. Like I have thought about it but it only really seems attractive when your investment is going down. When the value of your coins you are invested in goes up you certainly don't wish they were stable coins now do you? It sucks to lose and I know I have lost much potential profit. I had to use most of my btc at the beginning of this year and it sucks I think of what could have been. I need to remember though that even with this loss I am still in the green.

Stablecoin may indeed be used to hold funds while in the market when prices fall, but I am not sure that investors will use stablecoin for the long term because market conditions can continue to change and certainly investors will take advantage of price movements and are not encouraged by stablecoin. and I'm sure they use Stablecoin for current market conditions

They won't be called stablecoins if they won't maintain the value of your money once all are crashing down. Yes we have seen tether's price somehow reaches up to 1.03USD If you actually have tons of USDT, you'd get extra BTC if timing is right when you buy back your BTC. 

Lots of stablecoins to use, seem there is no issues to US government about all these anyway.

they can only use stable coin if they already bought some cheap coins so that they can prevent it from going down while at the same time they can wait for the market to recover and that is the time they sell what they convert on stable coins  . they can go back buying crypto again once they see the price of the coins drop . stable coins are one of the many solution for the bear market  to keep your funds safe but in my case i prefer the traditional way which was hodling   .

Stable coins are intermediate coins to hold the profit what they have in their bad time for BTC on trading site. When there is a growth automatically people will start reversing from USDT to BTC again.
Whatever coin comes nothing can replace BTC from its nature and worth.

Stablecoins are basically Cryptocurrencies but they are called stablecoins for a reason, this means that no matter how volatile the market gets, they would maintain a constant value depending on the currency that they are pegged with, like you said there was a time that Tether (USDT) traded below $1 even though it was tied to the USD, but just too and check it's current rate now and you would see that it is maintaining the price of the currency that it's pegged with, so yes, Stablecoins are a great store of blue if you want the dollar value of your Cryptocurrencies to remain the same.

In an anticipated long bear market, It will be more wise to convert even your stablecoin to fiat if you own a huge amount of currency. In a rare bad market situation a stable coin like the USDT may just go a little below $1. I fear leaving my coin in stable coin because I am not good in TA, I have not taken time to study it.

All choices have their own risks. Stable coins are indeed quite effective to maintain prices when the market is less profitable. Although it has a chance to go down, the decline will not be too extreme compared to another cryptocurrency in general. That is what makes stable coins quite effective in maintaining funds. So it is temporary, do not depend entirely, if you understand this risk it certainly will not make you careless and dependent just like that, market fluctuations are difficult to predict. Other strategies still need to be done because cryptocurrency is very volatile and full of unpredictable things, so immediately do plan B to avoid greater losses.

ETF is going for more support to stable coins and we know the reason. They might likely grant this vote of confidence early than any volatile coins. I think at a point more stable coins will be added, and the first beneficiary of the profit will be investors and staking profits can come for subsequent investors and traders. It wont need much effort to defend the price and investors are at lower risk of losing their fund.

that's what often happens, when the bear market occurs there is no choice but to secure the assets in stablecoin because it will not decrease the value of the assets we have. when the bear market is like this traders have two options, withdraw assets to fiat or buy stablecoin. but every trader has his own strategy.

In the bear market, there are two options to keep the money stable: fiat or stablecoin
Although it may charge a little more fee, fiat is a safer choice. Because there is a huge difference between the possibility of USD and USDT being scam. Even USDT itself is backed up by the USD (even if that is not true). Honestly, I have not tried any of them in the last drop, I just held BTC, but it would be the USD itself if I had the choice.

That would be the smart move, and that's what stock market traders do when they don't see an opportunity to make money. 

If those stable coins op mentioned are actually falling below the fiat currencies they represent, that's not a good thing.  Not at all.  Nor do I think they're useful to crypto investors unless it's just a way to park funds on an exchange in place of fiat.  But I would hope that if they do that the stable coins wouldn't lose value.

Anyhow, stable coins and the discussion thereof bore me.  We might as well be talking about whether we should be holding cash in a safe during a bear market.  That's all these coins are, a substitute for cash.

Candidly speaking, yes. Haven the experience of a bear market from 2018 till date made me to developed more strategies for holding for gains and not for loose. My bitcoin and ether are always converted to stablecoin whenever the bear market persist. So, stablecoin are more safer than the fiats but not in all stablecoins. 

If one investor feels that the prices will change sooner but not in favor of him, stablecoins might be one of the best solutions. But of course it is still risky because you also lose the chance of the prices going the favor of your investment. It is almost impossible to determine absolutely the changes in the market so think carefully before deciding to do anything.

Even if they are not the definitive solution, but they may be one of the choices. It will be the best option for you as long as you trust. But, I started to fear after the USDT price fell to 0.70$.
If every coin in the market did its own business, nothing would go wrong. Like stablecoins, there are more than 7 stabilcoins on the market, but few of them are reliable.

Stablecoins are a godsend. It was only a matter of time until a system such as Tethers would be made. Stablecoins really make day trading so much easier. Trading with coin pairs against a stable coin works exceptionally well when your trading with bots. The price of the stablcoins can waiver sometimes though, losing a few cents from it's original position but overall your balance remains utterly stable. I didn't get serious about trading until stablecoins became the normal thing.

Any strategy in trading or maybe to get profit, so actually pick stable coin  is good to do. When people maybe think stable coin is something that not really fun to trade, it can have something to help us like in bear market like this.

Against smaller altcoins, this may be a good strategy. But I would not prefer this against the established alts such as Ethereum and Bitcoin. Because when the bull run starts, you will have to convert your stablecoins back to BTC or ETH at higher rates. I would rather prefer keeping my ETH/BTC as such in the wallets. We are holding them for the long term. So what's the need to worry about the short-term dips?

How would stablecoins be a solution against the bear market? Whales can still go on exchanges and dump, maybe this could be made even more easier with stablecoins as now DEXs can also take part in this process with higher volumes and even less KYC.

I agree that is definitely a safe bet, but it is certainly a low-risk, low reward strategy that would only benefit you as a means to guarantee that you don't lose too much of your funds over the course of a bear market. However, to go only stablecoin will probably mean you will miss out on a lot of goods when the market recovers unless you can move your invested funds quickly. I can see why you would think this is a solid option considering the prominence of such coins, specifically Project Libra, but personally, think you are better off such enduring the bear market and staying true to the coins that are prone to market volatility, as while it might not seem like it at the time, these will ultimately pay off better in the long-run. As a middle ground, you are better of just investing in coins that are less volatile but aren't stablecoins to get the best of both worlds. You can find some great places to buy these at https://www.cryptimi.com/exchanges/altcoins-exchanges

Definitely! When you say stable coins, you should also consider the volume and market size of that coin. A coin sitting at $4 for the past 6 months wouldn't be considered as a stable coin. You'd not be on a safer side with a coin that could have been fluctuating between 4$-$20. So an upper limit and a lower limit of the coin should convey its stability. Bitcoin is the best one indeed but would say ETH,XRP,NEO are quite safe.

somehow i just think that a right solution for bear market.
for sure , just see when bitcoin drop suddenly to range 7000 , on that time usdt dialy trade is totaly huge .
i just speculating more people saving their value to USDT on that time.

Somehow, somewhat, stable coins might be a definite solution only for those people who do not want to take part of the sudden turn down on the prices of the coins within the market. It will be a great choice or option for the people who want to play safe and secure their investments with stable coins. But since we are mostly or let us just say all of us are risk takers, getting into a stable coin might be our last resort because up to this moment of time we are still into supporting Bitcoin and Altcoins despite of the mark up and downs happening in terms of the value and prices they show which mostly discourages us all. But still we are into believing into these coins so getting into a stable coin is just an option for us specially for traders and investors.

but so far some people have indeed used the USDT to hold funds when the market is not profitable, and re-invest again when there are opportunities that can be profitable. so this is not just speculation but does occur in market conditions when it goes down

I don't think that's the best way, because if the coins are stable, then what will happen to the market? even though the market capitalization is high and the trading volume is high, the name of a stable coin is sure to be stable. in my opinion the solution to all this is to increase the volume of the bitcoin and altcoin markets so that they can really pump up.

yes , in this cases , mostly people will do like i say , but on another , they buy altcoins who strong agaisn't bear market , such as chainlink , btw , i dunno why this coins have a strong demand when bear come . when u see bear come, u must see how chainlink graph going.

Stablecoin usage is indeed quite a lot when the market with the current conditions, people use it because they hold funds by waiting for other coins that have the potential to move. so I think it's quite normal as long as they buy stable coins to hold their funds when the market isn't profitable

Obviously a stable coin will be very useful and is used by many people to protect the value of assets in a market situation like this, if the exchange does not have to turn into fiat then a stable coin is an alternative to seek protection from a market decline

I don't think so, no. Bear market is quite a good spot for investors to buy loads of crypto for it to stock, considering the fact that halving will happen next year, and we are close to it. Anyway, for practical use of it you can store your holdings into stable coins when you knew, or just see that market is not in good shape, and will go down sooner or later, otherwise it is not.

Stablecoins are a good solution against the bear market. It is a definite solution to preserve one's investments.

I don't agree. Stablecoins can be created out of thin air and we all know that the most popular stablecoin tether lied about being pegged 1:1 to the dollar. This means that stablecoins can start fake pumps by increasing the supply of a stablecoin and then buying real coins with it. they can do more harm than good for the crypto space.

My current view is that stablecoins are doing better against the bear market. This scary bear market has lasted so long. We have to find a solution against it like stablecoins.

Yes, stablecoins like USDT will help you to be safe and stable in the bear market just like it is now. You will not need to worry when the price of BTC and altcoin collapses and are always ready to buy BTC and altcoin at the best price possible. I myself have been holding stablecoins since October until now, it is not the time to shop in this bear market.

It's not a definite solution to bear. It's just a safe haven to me. And whenever I wanted my coins to be safe, I switch to stable coins. It's just a precautionary measures for you not to lose much during bear. It couldn't possibly get your holdings high since it's bear.

Stable coins are a good tool to limit loss for a trader and they are a solution against both bull and bear market. Large fluctuation of price of bitcoin in any direction would increase the volume of Stablecoin trading. This also helps maintain the price of bitcoin less volatile.

When i want my coins save its triple backup password protected (paper) steelwallet. Each there own.
In the long run stablecoins are a guaranteed value loss, noone can save or retire on stablecoins.

Stable coin is a way to survive in this bearish market, we can sell our coins or tokens to stable coins so it wouldnt depreciate more.
But there is other trick to not only survive but also 'fight' in this bearish market, that's "short trading"
bearish market is suitable for short trading, it can earn profit even when market goes down
But, it is not easy as spot trading, learn more how to do it.

Yes, I'm thinking only stablecoin can preserve your investment, because if you cash out that will make you another cost. Almost 8 stablecoin, why you think this is few to preserve your money. Who are people invest in cryptocurrency they could sell some coin but finally they can't leave cryptocurrency, this reason there has low chances to turn out extremely risky.

Irrespective of what might happen, whoever is into crypto should know or is expected to understand the risks behind it. If stable coin is converted mainly to coins like Btc during the bear market, it might worth it, if such investor is in for long term,but those who want immediate profit might miss it.

Eventually CBDCs will replace stable coins.

Stable coins are good if you like trading. If there are bad days for trading or want to go on vacations and won't do trading for some time, you can put your funds in stable coins and have a peace of mind that it won't crash while you are sleeping or going to the beach.

I think stable coins are good for saving our money after we sell and profit from crypto trading. by storing money in stable coins we don't need to worry about losing money. and we can also easily buy altcoin again after altcoin has decreased. but I don't think stable coins are the solution in the bear market. in my opinion the best decision when the bear market is to stay and hold.

Doing better I guess is not the right word for stablecoin but instead just doing fine. All these stablecoins literally perform the same in term of price due to backed up by the reserved fund and bear market is only for decentralized crypto with no backup whatsoever. Even if the whole crypto market crumbles resulting in 99% lost of all the crypto value if stablecoin still has the reserved fund it will still hold the value which equal to the reserved fund and won't bear any effect from the bearish market.

Even if they are backed up by real assets at 1:1 ratio, there is no guarantee that this backup will remain unchanged in the long-term. What happened to Tether is a good example. Initially, it was backed up by real assets at a near 100% level. But then, they extended a line of credit to the Bitfinex exchange without anyone's knowledge, which reduced the backup from 100% to somewhere around 74%. And this is what happens when we trust unreliable third parties with our hard earned money.

Basically, stable coin is very helpful. and safe from fluctuations. I think stable coins are good for securing assets in crypto. as you said that the market is in a bearish pattern, and makes many crypto asset holders (other than stable coins) disappointed. the best step is to secure a stable coin and convert it back to crypto when it is at the lowest price. because if moving assets on real money, it will take a long time when the transaction. especially when pulling back from banks to exchange crypto with large funds.

Everything about stablecoins is great, if they're able to maintain their value of $1 USD per coin. But knowing that the crypto market is still illiquid these days, stablecoins might experience small fluctuations in price at times. The best-performing stablecoins in a bear market are those which are backed by USD reserves instead of an algorithm. Tether, Gemini Dollars, and Binance USD fit the bill nicely. Others like bitUSD and DAI may be doomed to failure in the future, as they're not truly backed by a USD reserve (as far as I'm aware). If stablecoins prove to perform as intended, they could be a safe-haven for traders and investors alike.

With many services providing attractive interest rates for stablecoin lenders, I believe that these digital assets will be here to stay for a long time. The only issue though, would be regulation. If governments impose strict regulations against stablecoins, then we'll see the number of coins available on the market decline at an unprecedented rate. As long as there is a single stablecoin being traded on the market, investors and traders can make use of it to protect themselves against the dreaded volatility of crypto's price.

Nonetheless, I believe that stablecoins might be the best solution to protect your investment against a bear market. Of course, there's always the choice of cashing out to Fiat. But most (if not all) stablecoins don't require ID verification for you to obtain the benefits of the USD. Which is why, these digital assets prove to be extremely convenient for anyone looking to obtain the "best of both worlds". Just my opinion :)

It only become a solution against a bear market when you are using it to keep the value of cryptocurrencies intact. You can use it to convert your cryptocurrencies into a digital dollar and keep it and hold it until the price reaches your buying point again, resulting for you to get more cryptocurrencies at such a lower price.

stable coin is a way, but it cant work well if we dont have good knowledge about this bearish market
I mean, if we dont have a good strategy to sell our coin, then stable coin will be useless
So, keep our knowledge increasing, so we can understand the market well and know good time to sell our coin/token.

If seen today, stablecoins seem to be the most chosen by traders and investors, this method may be more effective than having to be withdrawn into fiat money (saving excessive fees).
I agree when talking about risks in fluctuating crypto, but that Stablecoin means price and everything is definitely well maintained. if suddenly the price goes up/down means it is no longer Stablecoin.
the purpose of trader and investor choosing Stablecoin because of its efficiency and yes it is a solution against a bear market. (at least this is in my personal opinion)

If you have chosen to hold stablecoins, then the market is currently very unpredictable and at a very high risk of collapse, so we do not need the experience or knowledge to sell tokens. The selection of hold stablecoins is only a temporary measure and helps us not to lose money in the bearish market

I am not a fan of stable coins and see no use in those, besides keeping your money out of the market and not buying crypto with cash if needed. Personally, I think that we have too much stable coins that are based on air.

But we are hopeless in the bearish market because there are no way to control your funds. Tether is still most of the highest trustworthy coins. And that's why it's the first priority all of the stable coins. Stable coin is alternative solution to stable your asset value in the bear market i think.

but if you have funds on an exchange that do not have exchange for cash then you will need a stablecoin, maybe you can do that or not but for me the stablecoin still has a good function for depositing funds when an exchange does not have a currency exchange you

If what you mean is a stablecoin that's unaccredited by trusted government then it might be right. There are just too many stablecoins appearing lately trying to make a money generator out of it though the reserved fund is not being transparent or it just means that these stablecoin actually made out of thin air. people should be more selective when it comes to stablecoin.

Stablecoins are not a solution to anything. They are only there so we wouldn't have to go to fiat but that doesn't change the fact that people who move to stablecoins drop the price just like people who move to fiat. Hell if anything it helped the bear market because people can move out of crypto into stablecoins a lot more easier than fiat so people sell with a lot more ease. That is why I think it is not a solution to anything, it wasn't needed and shouldn't exist but since it exists already right now there is nothing we can do to remove them from the ecosystem anymore, if you get rid of one of them (which tether is getting removed over time) another one will take its place.

It is a sad cycle we will have to endure and be patient about so that with time we can find the mean average of it.

While stablecoins prove to be extremely convenient to protect your investment against price volatility, it has been the perfect tool for market manipulation. This of course, has led us to a bear market along with a wave of regulations imposed by governments worldwide. The way crypto has been heading since it came into inception has been towards centralization than anything else. After all, mainstream businesses and companies have taken the lead over most crypto services, resulting in a lower level of decentralization over time. Depending on the person's point of view, stablecoins are either benevolent or malevolent to the entire crypto industry.

Personally, I'd use stablecoins to serve as a "hedge" between the worlds of crypto and Fiat. The only downside is that most (if not all) stablecoins are prone to have a slightly lower price than $1 USD per coin at times. We've seen how Tether went from being worth $1 per coin to $0.98 (and sometimes a little lower), which is something a serious trader or investor would find hard to deal with. Not to mention, NuBits (USNBT) used to be a stablecoin with a value of $1 USD per coin only to fail a couple of years later. With proper regulation from worldwide governments, we might be able to see major stablecoins retain their value of $1 USD per coin for the foreseeable future.

Nonetheless, I believe that at some point, stablecoins are an ideal solution for a bear market. But they're not a "definite" solution, as there are other ways which you can secure your investment against crypto's volatility on the market. You'd either convert your crypto into physical cash or a stablecoin of your choice to protect yourself against any bear market. Depending on your needs, will be the type of currency to choose. In the end, stablecoins will survive as people in the mainstream world find them as an attractive alternative to the traditional US Dollar of today. Just my thoughts ;D

Technically you also could just short 1x, then the price will be stable to dollar in a bear market. In bull market you probably wish you hadn't done that but the outcome will be same as holding tether in bull market. I am not sure about the shorting fees though, i haven't counted them in.

Yes it is true, stable coins are useful for people who prefer to play safe or avoid greater risk so that the value of their assets does not go down and when market conditions are not favorable it is better to invest in stable coins rather than taking risks to invest into coins other. But, this does not mean that investing in stable coins will be profitable because if we dare to take risks and invest in coins whose prices are falling, I think it will be more profitable if the coins have increased.

Stable coin need to face sideways trend just like this moment. This stable coin mostly use by investor to saving his asset from bigger lost or take first position before release their real open position ( wait to pull the trigger ). Bear market solution is keep buying use martiangle money management or cut loss all transaction before to avoid bigger lost. Every trend has solution but not disciplines make strategy fail, don't do that.

When the bear market shows uncertainty, Stablecoin is a solution to secure crypto assets. storing assets in cryptocurrency is very risky, but Stablecoin can make traders and investors a little calm with bearish conditions that make them suffer losses. But some traders are more interested in pulling their assets into fiat money to secure from all risks that will be faced.

yes I think stable coins are very suitable to be used in this bear market but it is not a solution. I sold my altcoin when it went up and turned it into a stable coin and when the value of altcoin dropped even lower I would change the stable coin to altcoin again. I will also keep a portion of the profits from crypto trading on stable coins. Stable coins cannot be a solution during a bear market but with a stable coin we can secure our assets from cryptocurrency fluctuations.

Stable coins have no business with bear market, they are created to stand value of fiat currency aka USD and it's more useful for traders the most

Sure but if the bear market is going to last for a long time then the stable coins are likely to fluctuate as well unless its issuer decides to mint new coins into the system. I have seen Tether fall below a dollar and even rise above a dollar by some few cents. But in the midst of short or moderate bear market like what we have been experiencing for the past 1 year stable coins are surely the answer.

Gaining during the bear season it was a horrible thing and makes people decide of having stablecoins for investment. Quite that right but be in mind that all these market changes will never stay for long, this was a temporary and it all just coming back to rise again. May holding those stablecoins is another option to gain and to become more profitable but if you are doing smart in trading you can still generate profits even during the bear season.It was not a perfect time to sell but a good time to buy if you still have money to risk.

But even you hold stable coins you are in a risk.
At first, when you hold centralized stable coin like Tether, you never know if everything is okay with the company. What happen if regulations come. When you hold decentralized stable coin, you never know if the coin be stable in the future.
Secondly, you risk that price of cryptocurrencies will grow dramatically and you loose the potential profit.  ;)

Check Monero Dollar (#xmrd) is a secure, private, untraceable Stablecoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214640.msg53512987#msg53512987

A lot of my friends disagree with me, but the definite solution during dips for me, is your local currency or fiat.
There's a need to always get your profits out.

Usdt or other stable coins I believe are for temporal threshold of your MOney

I think so but I'm also not sure what will happen when everybody tries to hold stablecoins during bear market, do other coins become valueless while the stable coins gain more value?

store assets on usdt, it would be profitable if done temporarily to wait for a decrease in coin until we buy it. rather than being held in fiat form, I think it requires more process if you are going to buy crypto again

But when it is private and untraceable how do you assure that price will be stable? How it is backed? How we can verify that someone is not cheating?
I do not think that stable coin could be anonymous, even decentralized stable coin is a problem to control the stability.

That's certainly true, mate. This explains why some stablecoins have been unable to maintain a perfect peg to the United States Dollar. A bear market could have a negative impact at times on some stablecoins being traded at crypto exchanges worldwide. The situation is even worse with decentralized stablecoins like SDAI and DAI which are purely based on algorithms instead of actual USD reserves. While nothing is perfect, stablecoins are often the choice of traders and investors alike because of the benefits they provide relative to traditional Fiat currencies of today. Of course, you can still cash out your crypto in your national currency (Fiat). But for me, it's often better to use stablecoins as you get "the best of both worlds".

Nonetheless, stablecoins seems to be the way of the future as mainstream companies provide exciting use cases for people worldwide. The convenience of Fiat's stableness in price, and crypto's decentralized nature, makes stablecoins a top choice for everyone (either a newcomer or veteran in the crypto space). Just my opinion :)

It is true not a good solution, but to minimize it may be a solution, in fact, stable coins are far away from buying and sell orders but they are stable at the price instead of falling like other altcoins.
So it is not the right solution but if you do not want to bother saving to USD or real currency is better to hold the stable coin.

To some extent  stable coins have gone as far as helping maintaining traders or investors capital. Imagine BTC dumping and you already converted to stable coin, that would be a sign of relief to the trader or investor because you don't have to watch the value of your coin keep reducing there will be some calm in you.

I am a bit worried if stable coins can be frozen at any time because of a particular case from the developer, and especially when I hold a large number of stable coins at the same time. other than that it doesn't matter, the price difference against the USD isn't too far away, it's still better than holding bitcoin / atcoin in a bearish condition.

Stablecoins are not a solution. They are a hedge.

Those are two entirely different things. Stablecoins' existence don't guarantee that bear markets won't happen anymore. In fact, it may actually be the opposite as it becomes easier for people to short BTC in a sense.

Instead, stablecoins offer investors a way to keep their fiat currency holdings in a crypto form so that it can be quickly exchanged for and against BTC in times of volatility.

We have already experienced this type of situation in 2018 because people who converted their Bitcoins to stable coin during at a higher price. It is always a good option to convert our altcoin into a stable whenever we see an upward trend for the coin we have invested.

stable coin is best alternative for fiat dollar, but interms of investment stablecoin can be use as your safeguard when you think market state is not good, if you think your token or coins price will go down exchange it to stable coin for the meantime, then exchange it again when you think it will go up.

I do not think we will be having a stable coin since the main feature of cryptocurrency is volatility itself. Meaning, the consumers are the one who dictates the price of it depends on their supply and demand. Bear market is normal because of volatility. Just learn how to take advantage into it and you will for surely gonna earn profit into it.

Stablecoins have their role as a safe harbour during times of volatility or when you want to send money without risking a price fluctuation. For example the contest just launched by KuCoinPlay is paying the prizes in USDT because they don't want the value of the prize to fluctuate.

This must be considered more to all people who hold stable coin. I agree with this
But, at least we already avoided market risk. that's what the concern here

So, we do nothing also risky, bcz we can lose potential profit lulz

traders only move their funds in stable coins, and don't play in altcoin or bitcoin, because it is very risky for the bear market, stable coins function the same as FIAT, it might be very helpful

I don't know for sure if they're a definite solution, but the utility of stable coins is pretty consistent, especially when trading. Starting off as a beginner within cryptocurrency and market trading is incredibly hard for a person to jump into with no prior knowledge regarding trading and business finance. Stable coins made learning to trade a little simpler, because practicing trading with a stable-coin paired with a regular crypto-coin makes
the dynamic process easier to understand for a newbie.

I'm supposed to think this before but when the moment I really engage in crypto, I realize that it couldn't be. The market isn't just of having stable coins to make it less volatile but the fact that we are depending on the market demand and supply, it all becomes impossible. That makes me think that crypto market has to have a unique market design and definitely we can't stop this volatility.

I have seen this argument but was more of stable coin to Fiat. I like to adopt what the big guns in the market do when keeping their profits,which is putting your profit in fiat. Though there might be tax implication with some countries when fiat is used but fiat in this bear market had been more reliable, maybe because tether lost it at a point and Dollar was more consistent that ever.

Personally stablecoins provide catharsis for people in times of uncertainty especially when huge coins in the market dumps their prices. They have been a huge help so far in keeping the cryptocurrency industry alive. Though fiat still poses some help, I would say that stablecoins take the cake this time.

In the bear market, Stablecoins like USDT, PAX, USDC .. will help you to be safe and not lose if the prices of altcoin and bitcoin fall. You can even buy more altcoins and bitcoins for that amount. For more than 1 year almost all traders have been holding stablecoins to wait for a suitable point to invest in the market.

Sorry to ask cause I only have a little knoweldge about stable coins. Do they increase/decrease they value just like any other coins or not since they are pegged to a certain currency? If they are not decrease their value, there are any chances it would make cryptocurrency stable not definitely a solutions for a declining market.

In short, Stablecoin is one of the stable coins that I usually use when the market is down because I don't like to take too much risk. therefore sometimes stablecoin can be used when we are afraid of declining market conditions.

It can be if they are really a stable coins who is backed up by fiat money at the rate 1:1, if there are complain against it then is hard to trust it and hold a lot of money on because if something happen and will not value 1 usd then is hard to put money there.

I agree it can be a solution but only if its truly backed at 1:1 rate, some devs might commit fraud, i'll only trust stable coins if the backed asset is confirmed by a trusted bank, there are times tether go below one dollar but it doesn't go above a cent i don't think that's a problem if you trust stable coins, i'd rather have my money in fiat.

When we talk about the bear market, then of course, many investors may simply not be able to withstand and sell their cryptocurrencies, moreover, all this is a hello to loss. The option of saving funds using stable coins may well help in this. Of course, a small fluctuation in the prices of stable coins is not as scary as a drop in the prices of cryptocurrencies in general. I also studied stable coins and they showed good stable value in the market.

Are stablecoins a solution against a bear market?

It depends on what you may expect from cryptocurrencies. If you consider cryptocurrencies as a form of investment - then in accordance with the rule "buy low, sell high" it may not be the case at all.

Still, buying stablecoins could mean that on many of exchanges you could buy other coins faster than by sending a wire transfer and waiting yet another couple of days for an update of your account balance (when the price may not be that attractive).

If on the other hand, the volatility of cryptocurrencies is an obstacle for you for sending funds (and you are not a fan of xrp), then stablecoins could be interesting (especially if you want to sign a long term contract with companies located abroad). The only fear here, as shared by many cryptoenthusiasts, is that stablecoins are on this moment purely fake and not backed by fiat money 1:1 as promised.

As well, depending on WHERE we observe a bear market - stablecoins might not be very attractive if the bear market applies to the economy of the country, to which fiat currency a stablecoin is pegged.

maybe you only do an assessment on Tether, I suggest you can start using USDC because they use the officially audited circle foundation to connect to the bank, I'm sure this coin is really to your liking. It doesn't matter if you prefer fiat, but the topic is whether stable coins become a trading solution during the bear market, and of course I would say yes, if there is a slight change, prices will always adjust to 1:1.

Users need to understand that stablecoins were not designed to remove the problem of volatility. On the other hand, the very first stablecoins were invented in order to get around the restriction of using fiat currency in crypto exchanges (especially in China). Therefore, stablecoins doesn't represent the solution of keeping your wealth secure in a bear market. You need to think about the other options and strategies.

tether sometimes will value to $0.99 and there are times that it also goes $1.01, a cent is not that much but if you have about a million USD like the whales in crypto, they might just complain why its price still fluctuates while its suppose to be stablecoin. stablecoin had been a great hedge for traders specially in the bear market, you wouldn't want your money drained out while the rest of the BTC holders are shorting.

I think everyone has their own strategies to be able to stay in cryptocurrency and at bear market conditions. Some people will definitely prefer stablecoins when the bear market is arguably the right way to survive in cryptocurrency and to become our assets so as not to lose a lot of losses, but some people just don't want to do it and they prefer to stay trying to make a profit from coins that they think are potential, although this is arguably more risky but maybe they think it's something they are used to doing.

I highly agree that those stablecoins is the definite solution for the bear market and it is much profitable than those altcoin who are only for pump and dump scheme which is i think bad for the market.

And i think that only the top ranked coins is the one who can make it and stabilize their value even thou the market is in crisis.

Crypto currencies also have their own volatility, but volatility is very different from other crypto currencies, stable coins tend to be FIAT original prices on the stock market, so don't worry if you keep stable coins during the bear market

That's certainly true, mate. There's some level of convenience when using stablecoins for all of your crypto trades. Sometimes, it's much better to use a stablecoin than Fiat directly as you can gain instant access to the value of $1 USD without having to wait a couple of days to receive money in your bank account. But I'd have to admit that there are too many stablecoins on the market, which is more than enough for the average trader/investor. Only exchange-backed stablecoins will survive in the future, while the rest could become worthless in the long run. I used to remember a stablecoin called "NuBits" that was always worth $1 USD. But its model failed in the long run, mostly because it was not backed by a reputable exchange in the mainstream world. Everything was based on pure algorithms and buying back NSR shares. It's today where 1 USNBT is worth less than $1 USD, leading to undesirable losses among early investors of the same.

I hope that neither DAI or Tether would turn out to become like NuBits in the future, as it will become disastrous for the reputation/image of the crypto industry. As long as stablecoins retain their price of $1 USD per coin, they'll be the most ideal solution for a bear market. Your last resort would be to cash out your crypto towards your bank account for safekeeping. All in all, stablecoins prove to be of great use both for the average trader and serious investor alike. Just my opinion :)

I don't think stablecoin is a good solution in the bear market because we can swap it with real dollars, btcs and altcoins in some exchange. So while crypto price is still affected by many things, I recommend that you don't keep your stablecoins as an asset. If you want your investment to recover, then go all in the real dollar. If you still want to maintain a stable coin as an asset, what if some country release a new law to shut off that stable coin, then who can guarantee that you can get your money back.

Everything must have a risk, friend. As a day trader, stable coins are quite helpful when suddenly there are unexpected market movements, there are times when all prices suddenly go down, that's the right time to turn it into a stable coin, with the note that it is only temporary and for a relatively short period of time. So it does not come out of the market completely, when price movements have begun to look good and conducive it can be quickly converted into coins or other tokens as desired.

In additional, I would to say, without the option to close your positions without getting back to Fiat, Crypto will never hit mainstream. The problem is that there are no easy to implement solutions, USDT is not safe enough, and the likes of Basis even if they deliver are too complex for the average joe to understand. Making a crypto equivalent of fiat and calling it stable is about as absurd a concept as I could think of. The sooner the speculators are ejected and people just start spending crypto, the more stable it will become. If that means a price crash then so be it.

For me, due to the personality I do have, I would still consider having and holding into cryptocurrency despite of the bear market that we can experience in no time. I know the risk being associated on getting into this industry I am currently into and for me, I do love taking risks and challenges which I can acquire on staying with cryptocurrency. Although stable coins can do provide me stability in terms of price, I think it is just like having fiat on my hand that just take small improvement which is for me looks ordinary and boring. But I do consider having stable coin at the same time keeping in hand my cryptos. Bear market have lots of lessons to teach us so we must not be afraid on being in a situation like that because it is just a normal scenario we must take to be able to improve our intellectual capacity and at the same time seein a world out of our boxes.

Agree. There's always a risk involved when trading crypto. After all, prices are extremely volatile across the market. Thanks to the introduction of stablecoins, people can obtain the convenience of the USD's stability and the censorship-resistant design of crypto. While the concept is still relatively new, cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the value of $1 USD serve as great alternatives to mainstream Fiat. At times, prices may go a little lower than $1 USD giving you the opportunity to "reap the profits" within a short time frame. Tether, bitUSD and several other stablecoins have a small fluctuation in price at times where the bear market is threating most cryptocurrencies' prices among popular exchanges.

Of course, we cannot rely on stablecoins in their entirety as they're not guaranteed to secure one's investment for the long term. For this, the real USD is the winner. You can simply cash out your crypto to USD with your bank account to completely secure your investment. If stablecoins decline in price within a short time frame, you can use the money from the bank to buy more coins and sell them once everything heads back to normal. Repeating the process should allow you to maintain your investment even when a bear market threatens the entire crypto space.

Nonetheless, with the introduction of a regulatory framework for stablecoins, it seems that they'll be here to stay for a very long time. The industry is ripe for innovation in every way possible. Once serious investors see stablecoins as a "safe haven" alternative to the real USD, they'll join the crypto space in mass. As a result, we'll see a higher market valuation for crypto faster than you could imagine. Hence, stablecoins are the most definite solution against a bear market for investors, traders, and the average Joe. Just my thoughts ;D

I see stable coins are more regulated compared to investment cryptocurrency. Though, they are called investment, stable coins are more suitable in terms of business investment and day to day transaction. But if we think about the bear market, the function of a stable coins turns out to be the savior of a fallen cryptocurrency market in a short term, and investors think it might be a safe haven. Which indeed for me is true. Stable coins do really serve as the solution to save the profit, but is not a solution to stop and make the bear market bull again.

That's certainly true, mate. Stablecoins are more regulated than traditional cryptocurrencies being traded on the market today. This is great for the mainstream adoption of crypto and Blockchain technology as institutional investors will be able to gain the advantage of traditional Fiat and crypto at the same time. I believe that a stablecoin provides far better use cases than Fiat itself.

By leveraging Blockchain technology, stablecoins are able to provide a solution for traders, investors, and individuals alike which is censorship-resistant and tied to the value of $1 USD. Not all stablecoins are perfect, but they seem to be improving every step of the way. With enough demand for stablecoins, they'll be here to stay for a long time. As long as they're able to retain their value of $1 USD per coin, they'll prove to be extremely useful at times where crypto prices are declining at a fast rate. It's much more convenient to save your money on a stablecoin than a bank account directly. My main concern is their long-term price across the crypto market. If stablecoins remain stable in price forever, then they're the definitive solution against a bear market. Otherwise, you'll be better off cashing out your crypto into Fiat for safekeeping.

Nonetheless, time will tell us if stablecoins will survive or not. Everything will depend on government regulations and mainstream use. If regulations become too fierce, I doubt stablecoins will take off in the mainstream world. The same thing could be said if adoption for stablecoins is low. With Facebook's announcement of Libra, the world is becoming aware of stablecoins as the perfect solution to crypto's volatility and traditional Fiat. Just my opinion :)

That is, if the stable coin you are holding has real backing of assets. Remember, USDT before, they admitted that it was not fully backed by USD. What if you are holding a different stable coin other than USDT? Do you really think that stablecoin has their assets to back up when something goes awry?

https://breakermag.com/tether-now-admits-its-not-fully-backed-by-dollars/

Exactly. There's no doubt in that. I've seen many stablecoins to be backed by real dollars (or sometimes even bullion), without substantial proof whatsoever. Tether (USDT) has been quite a shady stablecoin as the company was unable to provide proof of its claims that the token was backed by real dollars. A legitimate company would provide transparency to its investors in order to maintain the reputation of its token within the mainstream world. Remember, "all that glitters is not gold". Many people believe that all stablecoins are guaranteed to be worth $1 USD for the foreseeable future. But we know that's not the case.

A true stablecoin needs to be backed by real USD reserves and largely regulated by worldwide governments. Only a few stablecoins meet with these requirements. Stablecoins like the Gemini Dollar, Binance USD, and IBM's stablecoin solution (I believe it's called Stronghold USD), are truly regulated and backed by USD reserves. But stablecoins which rely on algorithms to sustain their value of $1 USD (like Maker's DAI or NuBits) will eventually fail because they're not backed by real dollars. Consider NuBits (USNBT) which was once a respectable stablecoin (being worth $1 USD most of the time) some time ago. But, its failed economic model and management has led it to be worth cents instead of $1 USD. Many investors who put their faith into NuBits are now regretting having to put all their money in a stablecoin that was supposed to be always worth $1 USD.

Nonetheless, stablecoins are still good for short-term protection of your investment. But they're not a definitive solution against a long-running bear market. You're better off cashing out your crypto into USD for safekeeping. Until the space becomes more regulated, you cannot expect stablecoins to have a guaranteed value of $1 USD across the market. Just my thoughts ;D

Yes, when the bear market comes, holding a stablecoin in your hand is indeed a very good operation. You can use the stablecoin in your hand to buy the coins you want in a bear market. It is indeed a good way to deal with the bear market. However, we need to be careful that the stablecoin in our hands will not run away, otherwise we will really lose everything.

Stablecoins is very useful on bear market but it depends on the stablecoin, dont hold it in a cold wallet some stablecoin has the ability to freeze our wallets , only DAI does not have those abilities. But if you are using it in day trading in a trusted exchanges I guess it is fine. USDT has been accused of pumping BTC and dump it later.

Yes I think so, at least at the moment where there is a bear market the best is to convert to stablecoin thereby guaranteeing that you are not in the lossing side. This is certainly what most if not all users do, and also even when holding it one can still look to invest in other coins which can bring a short profit. In addition, during trading most traders also holds their profits in stablecoins. Thus, one can't be mistaken for saying that YES, stablecoins are the solution one can lay hands on during a bear market.

I believe that stable coins are the best solution to counter the bear market. However, it cannot be said that past failures, for example, 2017 when people did not have time to sell cryptocurrencies purchased on time, are connected with the fact that there were no stable coins on the market. They attended at least one. So the reason is in the people themselves.

For every dump in crypto sphere there is always a reciprocated pump,  stable coin might be the best solution against bear,  but knowing the right time to go in and out is the aspect of it because if your assets are locked in stablecoins, you'll definitely loose the opportunity to capitalize on pumps. So to certain extent, I'd say stablecoins isn't much of a thing for swing traders as they can easily loose profits if their assets are lock in it.

On the off chance that you have decided to hold stablecoins, at that point the market is right now entirely eccentric and at an exceptionally high danger of breakdown, so we needn't bother with the experience or information to sell tokens. The determination of hold stablecoins is just a transitory measure and encourages us not to lose cash in the bearish market

but with a coin model like that the benefits are very little because it does not have a good price movement and there is not too much demand so that the price conditions at the exchange will remain stable, if you choose such a model it is difficult to be able to profit even though the risk of loss is small.

That's certainly true, mate. Not all that glitters is gold. In other words, not all stablecoins are worth the investment these days. There are some which are highly manipulated by the issuer, leaving them the ability to freeze a person's balance at will. It's best to look for stablecoins that comply with regulations in every way, allowing people to take control of their money at the same time. Usually, exchange-issued stablecoins are the best ones to deal with. Binance USD and Gemini Dollars could last a very long time as they're backed by trusted exchanges in the crypto space. Others that are based on an algorithm collaterized by a Blockchain network's utility token, could lose their value of $1 USD per coin in the future (like Multi-collateral DAI and Single Collateral DAI).

Investing in the right stablecoins will allow you to preserve your investment in a never-ending bear market. We're still in a bear market today, since Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies have been unable to get past their ATHs across the crypto market. With every small pump in price (like the ones we've been experiencing lately) you could sell some crypto into a stablecoin of your choice to prep yourself for another dip in price. Once prices start declining across the crypto market, you could easily sell some of your stablecoins back into a crypto of your choice to earn more coins at a lower price. Repeat the process, and you'll be able to have a steady financial life for the foreseeable future.

Nonetheless, stablecoins are a good solution for a bear market in the short-term. In you're looking for a safe and secure way of protecting your investment for the long term, then look no further as Fiat is the best solution against a bear market. It depends on the specific person's needs whenever he/she wants the convenience of the Blockchain with the stability of Fiat or all the other way around. As long as the industry is regulated, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my opinion :)

They might not be the definite answer or solutions per say but at that point in time they are certainly the way out since bear markets comes with uncertainty; that is, can hardly be predicted how long it will last. Bear markets are some of the phases which can't be overlooked and no one can stand to watch his assets go down badly without taking neccessary actions towards it unless the person is holding a coin like Bitcoin which he aims to hold for long. But for other altcoins which can't be easily banked on converting to stablecoins is the best. Lastly, there were projects which went terribly down during bear market and never rose up again, holders can only but wish they converted to a stablecoin. So to answer your question, stablecoins are the solutions and best way out when unfavorable market hits.

In some way, stablecoins prove to be useful to protect one's investment against a bear market. But be aware that you cannot rely on them as a "definitive solution" since their value is not guaranteed to be always worth $1 USD across the market. Only those which are thoroughly regulated by the government, will be able to keep their promise for the foreseeable future.

I often find exchange-issued stablecoins to be much more reliable than those which are dependent on algorithms collaterized by blockchain assets (like DAI, cUSD, etc.). That's because stablecoins issued by major exchanges like Binance and Gemini are regulatory-compliant. Since DAI and cUSD are decentralized, there's no legislation that would enforce the issuer to maintain the value of these assets to $1 USD. Consider NuBits that was once a decentralized stablecoin with a value of $1 USD. It turned out to become a failure after a couple of years since inception. Investors who've invested a lot of money into it, have experienced unrecoverable losses. Imagine if all unregulated stablecoins turn out to become worth less than $1 USD? It'll be a complete disaster for the crypto market!

Still, I'm confident that the stablecoin industry will thrive within the mainstream world once serious investors and traders adopt them for their own benefit. We need this to become a fully-regulated industry in order to bring legitimacy to stablecoins across the crypto market. With Facebook's announcement of the Libra stablecoin, governments have begun taking their due diligence in order to regulate the stablecoin industry more thoroughly. If successful, you could expect stablecoins to last a lifetime. As long as their value is always $1 USD across the market, you can use them as a "definitive solution" against a long-lasting bear market. Just my opinion :)

Yeah, your correct, many investors after a series of market crashing they tend to swap their coins to stablecoins to secure their investment funds still. Stable coins are useful when scenario of these sharp fall happen to the cryptocurrency market. Most of my trials times in investment into cryptocurrency always end in swapping to stable coins when the market seem dumping without as rise within some weeks.  This gas been one of my best option minimize my loss.

I also think that stablecoins like tether (USDT) can be a savior of our coins when the bear market. Because only stablecoins the price is
not affected by the bear market. So from that it is not surprising if we see data on the coinmarketcap site tether volume bigger than bitcoin.
Because there are indeed many investors who rely on USDT to save their capital so as not to be depleted by prices cryptocurrency is very
volatile. And when we trade even stablecoins very good as pairing, because it can save profits obtained safely.

I can't say they are the definite solution against bear market because holding stablecoins comes with their own issue such as holding and BTC makes a good move you ends up losing. However I can only say that, during bear market and as unpredictable as it is, stablecoins can or are the only way to be at the safer side, that is hedging your funds. And now with fiat being supported by exchanges most people can even convert to fiat to wait out the bear market although it also has its shortcomings as the person might end up spending the fiat. So from all angles, during bear market decisions are made and they all falls down to how to secure your funds of which stablecoins offers the shortest and fast solution.
