Bitcoin Forum

I am a newbie on this forum and I have read my posts that people complaining how they lost their fund as a result of investing on Volatile coin like BTC. Is it now advisable for newbie like me to invest on less Volatile coin like Tether or Gemini USD.

Well, about newbies in the world of cryptocurrency I have to say that the following phrase is reasonably confirmed: The higher the risk, the higher the reward.

Yes there are tons of people that lost money, investing on bitcoin. You want my advice? Don't invest in something you don't understand. If you do understand it, then you have to make up some things in your mind like, should I invest on a centralised coin? Do I need money fast? Did cryptos have a -5% loss past week? For example, did you know that those you mentioned are stable coins and they are made for this purpose?

If you did consider these things then you must know what to do. Adjuct risk and reward and get the greatest possibility.

Trading isn't a sport. Neither maths.

I don't really understand why invest in stablecoins?
Stablecoins are bought to trade on cryptocurrencies, but now many exchanges allow trading in fiat / cryptocurrency pairs.

If you want less volatile coin, bitcoin should be the first to come to your mind, altcoins have been the type that are more volatile. But, with the marketcap of bitcoin, it is undoubtedly the best out of the cryptocurrencies. Tether is not a high volatile coin, neither is tether a low volatile coin, tether is referred as a stable coin. I still do not get how you will invest in a stable coin like tether. I will still always prefer DAI which is more trust worthy, but stable coin can not give me the kind of profits I have gained while investing in bitcoin.

Both Tether and Gemini USD is centralized stablecoin, not sure why you choose them to invest.

True, some people complaining about volatility. In the future you will complaining why your coin will get freezed [1] ::) Even your wallet doesn't have problem, but you can't withdraw anything and you'll lose all your coins.

Putting your money on Stable coins like Tether and Gemini USD without any price appreciation is more like staying in Fiat USD and is more riskier than staying in Fiat. So I advice you to better stay in Fiat USD, if you are worried about the price volatility in Bitcoin.

you don't ever lose money by only "investing" in bitcoin, all the losses come from investing in an altcoin as they dump in the long term or when people try to "trade" cryptocurrencies and make profit from that volatility.
trading means buying and selling constantly to make profit in the difference. it requires a lot of experience and knowing when the market is good for trading and a little bit of luck. obviously many who complain have none of these.

assuming you live in US do you think you can invest in US dollar? that doesn't make sense because the value of US dollar is the same $1=$1 and it is the same with these "stable" coins, 1 Tether = 1 Tether = 1 USD. so there is nothing to "invest" in.
also these altcoins are centralized and highly risky because at any moment their value can drop down to 0 and no longer be 1 Tether = 1 USD and be 1 Tether = 0 USD.

I wouldn't say that's an investment, holding Tether is like holding dollars, the prize will not change, so, to have money doesn't mean we are investing.

If you want to invest then you have to select a coin who could give you some revenue with time, that's how it works.

In your posting history, you state that you’ve got a 15 year Track of betting, having at some point reached a dire situation. One of your betting tips on your posting history states "#5. Only stake on sport you have adequate knowledge of and never add emotions to it". That kind of applies here too.

Considering stable coins as a potential means of investment, rather than stepping stones, means that you still need to get to know what they are really for (besides the risks they may entail), and that it is mandatory to do some considerable legwork before embarking on risky cryto investments. No risk, no ROI though …

They are not investments. Those stable coins means nothing as an investment if that's what you're thinking.
There is no risk and volatility with those coins as if you're just holding a plain cash such as USD.

If you want less volatility, you probably hold USD, but we definitely wouldn't call it "investing". With that said, I'd much prefer BTC, a currency that goes up and down all the time(that can be worth a lot more in the long-term), rather than hold fiat currencies like the USD that's pretty much guaranteed to go down in value slowly but surely.

The way many people have lost money, in a similar way many people have made great profits from bitcoin investment. However, when you say investment, you need to invest in some assets whose price is expected to go up in future. So investment in USDT would not really count as an investment. Stablecoins are here for capital protection and not investment. Hope this makes sense!

As far as I know, there is no such thing as investment in stablecoin. This is the crypto world, the most volatile investment ever. People are taking profit from the unstable market. If there are some coins that very stable, then how you making a profit from that? But if you looking for the most less volatile coin you can invest in Dogecoin.

You're not going to lose with BTC until you sell it. The reason why people are losing in btc is because they cannot stand the price anymore, so they sell it. You can invest in less volatile coins but not with stablecoins, can't get any profit from it. I don't have much idea of less volatile coins available in the market, I think ethereum isn't one of those less volatile coins. Maybe XRP or Litecoin? or Zcash, try to research.

Did you look up if Tether or Gemini USD deliver positive annual (long-term) returns (ROI)? I don't think you quite get what those two cryptos are, but here's a link to help you undertand:

"What Is a Stablecoin?"
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stablecoin.asp

for investment purposes, you want BTC, despite what some the naysayers weak-hands say, just make sure you do some proper research so you exactly know what you're getting yourself into

No offense, but if having to choose between BTC and artificial USD for a cryptocurrency investment is your question then I strongly recommend doing some research before investing in any of them.

Stablecoins are not volatile because they are pegged to a fiat currency. BTC is decentralized, transparent and has a precise inflation rate. In the cryptocurrency world, any coin is volatile. If you're looking for something like USD stablecoins then you will be way better off purchasing the real currency instead. It's safer.

As you are a newbie, I would suggest you do some research for at least a matter of days and then start off with BTC. By investing in a less known coin, you may get stuck at one point as you don't have many options with them besides selling and buying. Hell, a lot of these altcoins don't even have properly working wallets on exchanges.

Study, buy BTC and start your path from there.

What's the point of investing in stablecoins? That's no different to simply keeping your funds in USD or whatever your national currency is.

As their name suggests, stablecoins like Tether and True USD, Gemini Dollar etc are all pegged to the value of the dollar. They don't fluctuate in value, therefore you're going to experience any gains or appreciation by simply holding them.

That said, you can purchase stablecoins and then invest them on a platform like Nexo, Celsius, or Blockfolio to earn a return on your investment—usually somewhere around 8% per annum.

But you could probably earn a lot more per year by holding appreciating assets like Bitcoin. (Just be prepared to take the bad with the good).

I do believe you have to take care of the fact that the coins that you are thinking of investing are no different that fiat.

Volatility has its own benefits if you know how to use it.

You have to accept the fact that these coins are regulated and at the same time heavy regulations means you won't have that much freedom.

They are mostly dependent upon things like USD and at the same time tether is good but it failed to complete the promises made by the company for the users.

If you want to invest in stable coins , you might as well invest in normal currencies like USD.

With bitcoins you have to learn to use it the correct way~

If you don't like Bitcoin's volatility, then you'd better avoid crypto altogether, because Bitcoin is actually the safest coin. All those coins that seem to be stable are actually ticking timebombs, because there's a big chance they will suddenly crash and eventually disappear, leaving bagholders with 100% loss. If volatility is not for you, look for good opportunities with more traditional investments.

Stable coins are nothing more but a coin pegged to a fiat currency so they are not better than fiat currencies, however they have their uses, if the fiat currency in your country is being printed by the governments without any care in the world then that would be a way to keep your wealth and avoid being robbed by them, those coins are also useful in the case of a crash of this market, but do not forget this, just as the volatility is responsible for the losses of many traders it is also the direct responsible for the profits of the few that win so you should not fear it and instead you should embrace it.

Stable coins like Tether isn't worth investing in as there isn't a  way to make profit if this is what you're looking for. The purpose of stable coins is to 'peg' your crypto which will otherwise be volatile to a more stable type of crypto. Hence, it's a way to stay put or withdraw your assets from exchanges for a while.

If you want to invest in crypto there is no way to bypass volatility. As a matter of fact this is what provides traders with the immense opportunity, volatility is KEY to healthy profit.

Also, if you're not cut out for risk and losses this unfortunately isn't a place for you as there are many ways to lose money. So the best thing to do is invest in educating yourself, and then gauge your risk.

Investment is different with saving (for me) if investment i think i will aim for profit and stable coins is not kind of coin that good to be as investment (maybe yes for saving), because with that volatile, we can get profit from it. About profit or lose, it is already part of any investment and we should be ready for it.

 Look, if you wanted to gain some profits. You should not invest and buy stable coins. Unless your purpose is to convert btc into stable coins to cut losses and wait for the price dump to rebuy again then it's a good idea. But if your purpose is to prevent volatild coins, how can you be able to benefit from it? Cryptocurrency coins are volatile in form but that makes a trader be in a profit.
 
 You can't be a trader if you don't take a risk. Losing fund is a part of trading success, if you don't experience losses, how can you be able to become a good trader/investor?

It is true that many people have lost money because of investing in Bitcoin, but not a few have also succeeded in making money from Bitcoin.
So the problem is not because Bitcoin is volatile, it causes us to suffer losses. But the person who suffered the loss did not understand how to
invest in Bitcoin. Therefore, before deciding to invest in Bitcoin, you should first learn how to trade properly. Moreover, investing in stablecoins
like Tether will not be able to generate large profits, because the price is stable.

How if you invest in bitcoin to make a profit instead of investing in stable coins such as Tether or Gemini USD. I think you don't have a chance to profit from holding the stable coins, or your profit will not be too big if you hold bitcoin. But if you want to avoid the risk of volatility, a stable coin will be your choice. But you don't have to complain if you can not make a profit from that. It is your decision, and we hope you can think before you decide.

There will be profit and loss in any investment.  Where there is a losseering estuary there is a possibility of profit.  Yes, it is true that many people have lost by investing in Bitcoin and many have lost their capital.  But it is also true that many people have benefited a lot from this bitcoin.  I don't understand why you want to invest in stable coins.  I think investing in stable coins is the same as keeping money in National Bank.
 As you are a new user, I would advise you not to invest at this time.  Gain good knowledge first then invest.

Bitcoin is a good coin and should be existing in the portfolio if somebody want to make good return from the cryptos. Stable coins are ones which is just like bank deposit and instead of crypto better than to invest in banks I feel where guarantee still exists here if any scam happens or wallet is theft people end up losing the money. So, if for long term one needs to invest then btc always the good coin.

Not at all. Your question proves that you still didn't understand enough. This means that you should not invest at all and just read more.
USD pegged stable coins don't worth investing. And if you are unsure about Bitcoin then don't invest.
Investing needs luck, guts and money you afford to lose. And well made "homework" in order to choose the asset that suits you best (and will also grow, so you'll have profit).

This is what I think every time I have doubts towards my investments.

That phrase really motivates me and make me become more aware about the happenings in an investments.

Volatility is really a problem but you need to deal with it and face it in the market. Management and control will really make your money safe from losses even if there is a risks. Newbies are not aware about the risks and they are only rooting for higher rewards without even considering other possibilities that might happen in the market.

 we need to find what motivates us on everything that we do because this removes the down feeling that we felt  but when it comes to investing on cryptocurrency i dont consider the phrase "high risk , high reward " to all the cryptos  because what if you do this on any random crypto and you dont know that what your  investing  are a  scam .  

only risk is you will get but not reward or high reward  . phrase is best suited for the coins such as btc or simillar that has a high volatility rate

This is well explainatory

If you would like to make more profit better to choose the Bitcoin than having these stable coins. Have you thought that these stable coins will increase their market value? No, it won't and you can be expecting that it gives you more profit. Bitcoin prices will rise anytime, unlike what stable coins can do.

I know that nothing pushes you because that is your choice but I would like also to highlight that better understand the sentiment that these stable coins have their returns. That is why many investors are focusing on Bitcoin because they see and know that this is a profitable asset than any others.

Maybe for starters in crypto, they can invest in stable coins just to learn how crypto transactions work. But since it is stable coin, there's no profit form this. And then, they can move on to known crypto like btc or eth. At least, with btc/eth, you know that they will not disappear and has strong market presence. Avoid pump and dump coins, but only experienced traders can spot these pnd coins. Give it time, and the OP will learn more about crypto trading and how to avoid losses.

Despite its volatility, Bitcoin is a good investment option.
If you live in a country that has inflation, you could invest in Tether or in any stablecoins of the profits obtained by bitcoin.
There is an expectation of a potential bulling scenario for Bitcoin at present. So the bitcoin community is aware of it. Whoever can buy more Bitcoin will do so because this is the time.

I also think that you should know more about the crypto market and the exchange platforms that can teach you to earn additional rewards.
Binance always has contests and rewards where you can win some coins. There are also other exchange platforms that encourage users to win with these contests and this is an opportunity to learn how to invest in cryptocurrencies.

So your talking about stable coins then its your choice because profitability scale level or aspect will always vary on the volatileness or movement of such coins and thats the perfect recipe on making money.
For those people who dont like the risky side of things then they do stick into those stable ones which i dont really see the point on why theyre here on crypto if they can just simply engage theirselves with
stocks and forex etc. Losing funds is just always been part of the game and if you cant bare it out then better skip out and do nothing at all.It would be good if you do just stick with those traditional
investments that i had said earlier.Somehow, dealing with a very volatile coin will have corresponding cons but if you can deal with it then its your choice.Trading out a market without even barely some movement
is just boring as hell.

If you want to own Bitcoin (for its multitude of benefits) but are worried about taking on extreme losses,  you can buy put options to insure your bitcoin.

So for example:

Right now you can buy 1 BTC for $10708 and stash it safely in a secure wallet.  You could also buy 1 BTC worth of 12/18/2020 (roughly 3 months out) $7500 strike BTC puts for $278 on LedgerX.

If three months from now the BTC price holds steady or goes up, then your puts will expire worthless-- like when you pay for insurance on your house and it doesn't burn down. Then you buy new puts, dated 3 months out.  So you'd end up paying around thousand bucks a year or whatever for that level of crash protection.

If the BTC price crashes to $7500 or below then on the expiration date, you execute the put and get $7500 for your *whatever the current price is*.  So if the price drops to $5000.  You execute, you get $7500. If you wanted you could buy back the bitcoin and get 1.5 BTC.

If you get tired of holding the insurance -- perhaps you sell your bitcoin or feel less concerned,  you can sell your put contract for whatever its worth at the time.  (potentially more than you paid for it if BTC went down enough-- less if it went up or stayed stable).

You can pick the strikes and dates you want to adjust your risk tolerance vs what you're willing to pay for insurance.

Right now, 12/18/2020 puts at $5k are available at $148/btc,  7.5k at $278/btc, and 10k at $1200/btc on LedgerX.  Perhaps they'd trade at better prices if you left a standing ask.   LedgerX contracts trade in 1/100th of a Bitcoin increment.   If in the future bitcoin is less volatile it'll cost less to protect your position this way,  if it becomes more volatile it'll cost more.

If this makes sense for you depends on your particular finances and risk tolerance.  If you're assuming Bitcoin is going to go way up then you could imagine buying this protection is just throwing money away-- but if the fear of losing money is keeping you from owning Bitcoin at all, then the cost of hedging it may itself be a very good decision even if the prices do go up a lot.

Of course, doing this exposes you to some risk in using a centralized platform e.g. they could get goxed... but w/ this strategy you only have the put you bought there-- your Bitcoin can be safely stored privately, in your own possession, offline.

Personally, I'd take the other side of these sorts of trades because I'm not worried about Bitcoin volatility. But everyone's situation is different and I think it's completely reasonable for people to buy low-strike puts for hedging purposes.  Shuffling around risk to parties that are more tolerant is a natural economic win/win.

Volatility isn't about loosing your funds, it also gives you chances to get profit. Anyway, volatile coins are associated with higher risks. You should consider what do you invest for? If you are seeking for stability, take a glance at stablecoins pegged to precious metals.

Then you are not investing. If you want to invest, then you need to realize that there is such a thing as 'the higher the risk the higher the return.' It does not happen with Tether or Gemini USD because those two are stable coins. Literally, their value is stable which is pegged on the USD. So nothing will happen with your investment in those two coins. It is not even investment. The value of those two coins are equivalent to fiat. They are like fiat also.

With BTC, the price is volatile that is why there is a potential profit. There is no profit if there is no rise and fall of prices.

Investing in usdt? That's like converting pounds to dollars hoping you'll get a profit.
Unless you lend usdt, your not gonna make money on that (Binance has 6-8% apr on usdt fyi)
Note that the more volatile the market, the more you can make money out of it. No asset can give you a return unless it's volatility is more than 0

Worse, it's like putting dollars in shady sal's back alley bank and getting credited SalDollars in return, which can at most be redeemed 1:1 for real dollars, -- if you can track down Sal and convince him to do the redemption.

Foreign exchange could make you money or at least hedge a liability...  tokenized USD?  That's just fiat with extra risks. To the extent that there is any use for it at all, if you had a use you'd know it and wouldn't be asking about it here.

You can invest on less volatile coin if only you can carry out your personal research to know the less volatile coin to invest.
I guess bitcoin should be the less volatile you can invest your coins which it hard to lose profit at the end of the investment. As a newbie like you, you will found some newbie, who are into volatile coins to take the risk and start making profit in the investment.

You cannot earn profit with the use of the movement of the volatile if you make an investment with a stable coin. The trading on this becomes nonsense because there is no movement. Also if you want to have a less volatile coin mostly they are the centralized coins and the people who have a lot of investments are the only can possibly make a large movement of uptrend or downtrend.

If you want to avoid the risk it's better to store your funds with the bank by this you don't need to worry about getting volatile.

You can see OP is a newbie when he starts talking about "volatile coins likebitcoin".

If you think Bitcoin is the volatile one you should spend some time in the altcoin section ;) Bitcoin is actually one of the least if not the least volatile.

I keep telling you people taht stablecoins cannot be used as investments. You are better off investing on forex than trying to make money holding USDt.

If you need to invest in tether, it is better you keep your investment in fiat (US Dollar).  Also note that investing in Tether is risky, because it is not fully backed up. Not many people know about about this.

I never keep my funds in Tether.  Either i have bitcoins, altcoins or fiat currency.

Actually OP is comparing bitcoins with stable fiat currency. Since the fiat currency is non-volatile, many people who are new to crypto currencies may find bitcoin to be very volatile. However who are using bitcoins and altcoins for some time, will know that bitcoin is the least volatile coin amoung all digital currencies.

So what's your point on investing on stable coins? since you might now get a return from it if you prefer to hold, But it coule give you a security if you don't want to get caught by volatility if your away. But you can also use that for your trades since its still have pairs on several exchange.

But you will miss the big opportunity of bitcoin once it pumps harder, try to see and read some articles on what happen on year 2017 and might it will get your interest on volatile coin but just select the top since this is most likely been chosen and have higher chances to revive back once the dump happens.

It is true that as a newbie, there are a lot of doubts about these fast movements since you never know what is happening or why is that happening. The best thing to do is just to invest and eat up your fear. When I first joined, I hesitated and instead of me buying at a three-digit price, I bought late when the price is already increasing. For now, bitcoin may be volatile but it could be anywhere in the near future rather than a USD.

Stablecoins are just that, if you want not to have volatility, the safest thing is that you look for a project based on gold, any altcoin will depend solely on Bitcoin, and the volatility in those currencies will be much stronger than Bitcoin.

Some coins survive in the exchanges due to the practices of the Pump and Dump, but taking into account the events of this year, it is very difficult to find an altcoin with low volatility, they will always obey the movements of Bitcoin.

I was once a beginner investing in coins, I had doubts about investing in digital currencies I was afraid my money would be lost, I got a suggestion from a friend to buy Ethereum coins and save it and now I get a profit, my advice is a beginner to buy potential coins and you will benefit like me.

nice of you that you have a supportive friend unlike to the friend i know that he did not share his crypto knowledge to us his friends but we did stand up on our own and now we are as good as him .

eth was once a good coin and a newbie friendly but now eth is now complicated  . we are lucky that we are early to know eth but for the new comers eth can be a little tricky  but theres more of those coins that have a potential not just eth  . less volatile coins are a perfect fit to the beginners

If you invest in a crypto coin, you will face every coin's volatility, and if you can not find the potential coins, you will not make a profit. You are lucky to have ethereum as your investment so that you can make a profit. In the crypto market, you will find the other potential coin difficult because you need to analyze one by one to get that coins. If you want to invest in the less volatility coin, you can use a stable coin that is not too volatile than the other coins, but I don't think that the profit will be bigger than the other coins.

Investing in Tether doesn't make any sense: best case scenario, Tether keeps costing $1 per coin, and you have the same sum you invested (minus the fees). Worst case scenario: following investigations proving that this coin is not as backed up as it should be, people start panic selling and the coin explodes, so you lose the investment. Bitcoin is not that volatile lately. So yeah, you might lose, but you can also win, especially long-term.

I'm not a newbie and at the same time I'm not an expert in investing but I don't see any reason why you need to invest on dollar-pegged coins like tether, GUSD, BUSD and the like.

In cryptoworld, all of the coins are volatile except for these dollar-pegged coins so if you want to invest in to crypto always take note that the risk is high in this since the volatility can eat your money in just a few days. Many lost their money already into this because they can't take the volatility of it. Still, I don't see any reason to invest in dollar-pegged coins and hold it for quite some time unless you are trading in futures then you will buy USDT :D.

If you invest in Gemini USD or Tether, it's best to leave your money alone. The returns are almost zero with the above.
Investing in cryptocurrencies requires both technological, industrial, and market knowledge. It's best to learn before putting your money into something.

Less volatile? Tether is not volatile in anyway, it’s a stablecoin. So, if you invest in Tether it would be just like when you’re holding the USD in your wallet. I make use of the Blockchain wallet and they have two stablecoins in their wallet that you can make use of : Tether and USD-D, if you’re holding these two coins you’re just holding dollars and that’s why they don’t have any chart on the platform, your $1 is simply that same $1 all year.

If you have plans to make profit you will have to still go for the coins that are volatile just like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The thing is that you have to raise money that you can risk and invest in these coins at the right time.

Stable coins are not an investment but you could save yourself losing value in the long term if you sell some of your bitcoin for stable coins while its up high then later when it crashes use your stable coins to
buy more bitcoin. It's probably better to diversify like I just said then go either one way.

Somehow we can call it a temporary safe asset but actually we can earn with on this by using it on tradings since it has so many market pairs which is volatile and for me somehow its a good coin selection for those people who easily get panic with the bitcoins movement or other since they can leave the stable coins without worrying for the price to get dump. But the holder of table coins cannot earn on it when price of alts became alive since this coin doesn't move and not good for long term holdings if we seek some profits from it.

Actually it depend on your capital, if you spend huge money like $5000 then you will see how volatility of USDT or another stable coin, your capital will increase and decrease quickly depend on market movement.

For newbie, I think there is no safe place/coin to invest, it will be better to you to learn first about crypto currency and learn how to trade for at least the basic knowledge to trade. So as you will know when a good time to buy the coin or even you still have a chance to hold it for long term investment.

But what you are going to make from investing on a stable coin? It is neither going to increase or decrease which means it is not really an investment though.Bitcoin is highly volatile but its highly profitable unlike other shit coins so don't waste your time and money when you are a newbie it will result into a hate against crypto investments for the rest of your life once you picked the right coin.

with customs on authorization as uses with the past terms of manage with literacy on blockchain, student might defines of one on decision as referring use of limit as expending risks and resource to work on distinct with strategy, and gains on extent as exchanging expends with the returns on possession.

there is no benefit at all it is the same as storing your money in a place where other people cannot redeem it and it's only you can have that if you secured it in your wallet. But If you are looking for investment that's not a good choice it's better to deposit it in a bank at least you will interest annually than buying it in stable coins which will not give you any interest.

That's true. From my point of view, strategy that helps - getting deeper into the niche you are pretty experienced in. Because it makes it easier to analyze the found solution and understand its real value

The field is definitely in demand. Are there any bold solutions you can recommend?

There is so low ROI in banks as well they deduct fees yearly, it's not advisable to invest in bank or save a lot in bank as it didn't grow at all, better invest in stocks and wait till the market recovers. Bank is only good to store your emergency funds and some savings but not as a investment. If newbie find crypto trading too risky then they better study first the stock market and only invest in their known companies, or companies they used in daily lives not just to be a customer but as a investor this time.

Stable coins are not cryptocurrencies. They are just coins that are backed by fiat money. USD, EUR or whatever. They will always be worth 1 unit of fiat they are backed by. Cryptocurrencies are volatile compared to other asset. Bitcoin and Monero are least volatile of all. Why? Because thy have use case and are also used beside just being speculated with.

It is useless to invest in or hold stablecoins like usdt or others, infact you can hold usd cash in your hand that will be better because you are not investing or making a wise decision by holding stanlecoins.
To be part of crypto market and take advantage of it you have to invest and hold crypto coins like btc, eth etc. The volatility of the coins is where the beauty lies and have changed many people financially.

There is a reason for calling those coins stablecoin. you have nothing to loose they are available to hedge your funds to avoid heavy loss in the market. it is also available in the forex market where you can exchange your stock to fiat in order to avoid liquidity. if you wish to invest in stablecoins like USDT or dai and the rest, you have nothing to loose and nothing to win.

Firstly, it is never profitable when you invest in stable coins, because it does not pump or dump. Secondly, investments options does not have favorites, instead you figure out what choices of tokens to invest in, do your own research about them, and make an investment choice.

Crypto currency is a volatile space

You wont be here on this forum if BTC isnt on your consideration but if you do get interest in USDT or GUSDT then its your choice but to think that if you do aim for profitability then you'll surely love volatile coins.

If you do tend not to risk your money on volatile coins then so be it and you do have the free will on whatever you should do but you can actually differentiate between things.

You are free to switch anytime  ;)

Investing in altcoin without any volatility will tend to lose in both way commissions and this is not the way smart investors do on a regular day. The purpose of stable coins mentioned in your post is for protecting the trades from extreme volatility and instead of selling in fiat investors will prefer to wait for the right time in stable coins. Volatility is low on top-ranked coins in CMC and you can start with LTC, for understanding the basic trading.

They are complaining sich a thing because, in the first place, they are investing in a thing that they never understand. Why there are a lot of people investing Bitcoin this time? Investing isn't magic, buy now, and gain profit after? No, it was not like that and sometimes it takes days, weeks, or even years to wait for us to gain more profits. Those people who suffered losses after investing Bitcoin are those you are impatient people, and they shouldn't have to complain because that is their fault also, not Bitcoin itself and the market.

Go invest into USDT if you do not want any volatility. Crypto is volatile and people are aware of this, they have always been aware of this and I do not think that anyone can deny the fact that when you get involved, that is one of the first things you find out about all crypto currencies.

If you do not want volatility, go invest into gold, there are few moments in golds history that made it volatile but 99.99% of the time gold is very dormant and you can basically buy and forget and in 50 years it will be very very high compared to fiat you are using.

If you want a bit more volatile than gold go buy stocks, specially trustworthy good old stocks, like banks or google or whatever, they will go up and down time to time but they will never be bankrupting that easily, unlike some small coins that go under 1 cent. Crypto is volatile, if you want to be here, you have to accept it.

Welcome to the crypto world OP.
The coins that you mentioned USDT and Gemini are so called stable coins, which means they have a fixed price of 1$ (maybe sometimes 0,99 or 1,01).
So if you want to invest money to make profit out of it you shouldn't buy this coins. They exist to store your funds without volatility.
Of all the other coins BTC is probably the one who has the lowest volatility of all.

Keeping your savings in stablecoins is just as dangerous as in altcoins. If there is no goal to increase your capital, but only to save it, it is better to continue to keep your money in dollars or euros. Well, if there is such a desire to make money on the volatility of the cryptocurrency, then the first step should be to buy bitcoin and Ethereum.

Saving our money in the bank is also not really a good advice, it would be a big achievement even if we make 1% per annum through the interest because to get the net returns we need to subtract inflation rate from annual interest rates.Staking stable coins also do the same thing as saving money on bank accounts but both are not really worth it.

Some times the local currency of a country is so volatile that people would rather shield their money even against that , countries like Venezuela, Iran , Cuba , have difficulties with keeping the value of their money and I think Stable coins are the best ideas for them .

Yes, but only a few countries are like that, not included in all countries, but for stable coins I think it is very suitable for use by anyone and in any country, especially if the aim is to protect the value of assets or currency.

In the cryptocurrency world, the price of a coin can change so quickly. Dramatic changes like increases or losses of the value of coins should be considered in the bitcoin exchange since it is a very volatile market. If you cannot take this risk, I think the cryptocurrency world is not the right place for you. It was said above that bitcoin prices are stable but I strongly disagree with this. You can better understand what I mean if you take a look at this year’s bitcoin chart.

Lost or made a loss?
If you mean by lost, then it's either they got their wallets hacked and lost all their BTCs. If you're responsible to your wallet as well as your private key, you don't need to worry.
If you really mean by losses, then you shouldn't worry for coins like BTC if it is even volatile. It's been like that since, and people are still holding and believing on it. The volatility isn't so bad when you finally get used to it.

You have a lot to learn, I suggest you should spend time learning about the difference between altcoins and stablecoin, for example Tether ( USDT ) and Gemini USD are both stable coins, investing on them won't earn you a dime, you buy 1$ worth of stable coin you will get 1$ forever, you aren't qualified for earning yet, spend time on learning first.

Talking about the crypto path, focus is going to change. What do I mean? Investors are now tired of similar and simple solutions. So as I understand, the switch will happen towards more technological and valuable solutions

Hmm, there are many criteria I pay attention to as well. And as for solutions I follow - there are only 2 or 3. If you are interested, my latest discovery is hCaptcha. What I am excited by - entirely new approach on industry. Heard of the solution already? A popular and widely discussed one

hCaptcha is designed to solve the most labor intensive problem in machine learning: labeling massive amounts of data in a timely, affordable, and reliable way. More data generally produces better results in training machine learning models. The recent success of deep models has led to increasingly large datasets, almost always with some human review. However, creating large human-reviewed datasets via Mechanical Turk, Figure Eight, etc. is both slow and expensive. hCaptcha allows websites to make money serving this demand while blocking bots and other forms of abuse.

Welcome to the fourum. Every crypto currency that you can make good profit from are always volatile in nature an example is BTC but what you need to having quality knowledge about crypto investment, stop lost and choosing the right coin because Tether and  Gemini USD are stable coins.

You can't blame them dude. Not all newbie investors can't grasp the technicalities of bitcoin or at least able to accept the haed truth about its high volatility that's why some of subconsciously think that stablecoins are better form of investment. Well, if you based on logic, it actually makes sense somehow. More stable, the less risks of losing. But this is all wrong of course ;D.

For me, stablecoins are just assets which can serve as our safe haven when we are trading.

Those coins you've mentioned are safe, but they won't give you any profit whatsoever (unless you know a good coin that has profitable exchange rate, but thats not a newbie knowledge at all).
So you got to do own research on coins you think could be valuable

It is difficult to know whether a coin is good or not even though at the beginning you have said that it is safe but you cannot guarantee that it is completely safe because one day when a disaster occurs such as the developer dies or exits it will make the coin collapse quickly. because some time ago in altcoin there was a case like that the developer died immediately collapsed.

The whole cryptocurrency is much more volatile than other stock markets. We needed only some stablecoin where we could freeze our money. I think OP is searching for some low volatile coin where his money will not vanished. I will suggest to OP that research in the top 30 coinmarketcap which coin pump is very low than other altcoins.

If you want to invest with less volatile coins such as tether(USDT) or Gemini USD then it is simply a less risky token but at the same time less rewarding tokens, but if you really want to gain more profits they try to take a risk knowing that there are several cryptos that are high risk but also high rewarding tokens.

Purpose of the investing is multiplying your capital. Stable coins are really less dangerous, but they won`t give you profit. I think buying stable coins is a good idea only when you are taking profit from your investments and you need to count it or buy another assets

Stable coins would not be a good choice to invest into as they don't increase in price and thus there won't be any benefit in buying those coins where you would only be parking your money in the stable coins. Thus the best investments would be the cryptocurrencies that are in the top 10s or so as most of the times the rankings are quiet constant and they only drop in value once the market starts to crash. My advice is to buy bitcoin, ethereum and bitcoin cash which is currently gaining much support from the people as well.

Gemini USD is a stable coin, buying it is just like you’re still holding dollars because it’s still going to be that same dollar amount you have invested and nothing is going to change. And that’s the same thing with Tether. I have know Tether for long now and it’s the first, they are just stablecoins and are being used by traders to save their value and nothing more.

You can’t invest in these two and expecting profit with time as you would do when you invest in Bitcoin. Even if you see a coin that seems to be stable, it’s just happens for a while and before you know it they will burst. Bitcoin has also been stable recently around $10,000.

What actually is an investment? In simple terms, it is when you invest in a project with the view of getting a return or profit after a certain number of days, weeks or as the case may be. Now since Tether or Gemini USD is stable, how then is it an investment?
Yes, it is not volatile but if you are looking for a coin which will give you return then stablecoins are not an option, but if you want to Hegde your assets against volatility, then stablecoins are the right choice, which is why during a bear market people move to stablecoins and when the market changes (bull market) they move to their preferred coins.

Now to air my view about investing in crypto while having in mind that crypto is volatile, I would prefer investing in Bitcoin because it is the best till date. Even when it drops owing to bear market, it is also the first to move during a bull market. Another coin which is better is Ethereum and most major coins. But as for newer altcoins, a good number of them will dump and never rise again, or dump and never attain a good price ever again; so that still brings us to the best choice, Bitcoin.

BNB is very volatile too. Look to their charts. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/
Stable coins and those altcoins that has low liquidity have the lesser volatility. But for those low liquidity altcoins, pump and dump can start. It's not even safe because you will never know when dumping will start.

The volatile you nature of crypto is what make it standout and also lead to awesome profit make by some crypto investor.

Thats correct but the perfect stablecoin to use will be Gold stablecoin cause others stablecoin like Tether are not transparent about their total reserve asset.

Using the CMC rank to select coin could be misleading and so is looking for low volatile coin either. The best thing OP will is to invest in good coin with concept and support

Volatility is the main feature of any business. Do you know why the STABLEcoins are called so? Because they have STABLE (plus-minus) rates. You can trade on usdt/tusd/usd, for example. But you have to deal with a huge amunt to make a reasonable profit.

depending on your investment goals, if you want to invest for profit then don't hesitate to invest in Volatile coins such as BTC. For pemlua you need to know that investing in crypto is taking risks, but not when you choose the right coin. whereas stable coins like USDT, UDSC etc. are safe long-term coins on the one hand they are more suitable for trading pairs.

Your option being mention are good and I can say go for it. However as time pass by you will going to want a coin that will be volatile like bitcoin because you will going to want to earn in bitcoin. For now investing it at 10K USD per BTC would not be good in my opinion. Take my advise OP to wait for the next market crash and invest when bitcoin market reach to that price and then sell when it will reach higher market price like we have now which is 10K USD. If you are greedy and risking to invest now waiting for the All time high then it is up for you but that would be risky in my opinion.

Less volatile is relative, it depends to the pair that you are evaluating. If you are evaluating the pair with ETH, BTC or with stable coins. Because if BTC go down all the pair in stable of all the altcoins go down.  Btc is always a good investment in the medium/long time

I don't know about that, volatility in cryptocurrency is high, so we can't say it is a less volatile coins.
USD tether is not a less volatile coin, it is one of the stable coins in cryptocurrency.
I don't recommend you to invest on USDT because the value is stable, won't get anything if we hold it.

If you invest on stable coin. You have less chance to lose your asset. But you did not get any profit. On the other way if you invest on volatile coin you have chance to lose your asset. Also have a chance  to get big profit. Now it is your wish.
(NP) No risk no gain.

Yes, all you need to do is to be very focuse on how some investors are using Gemini USD coins to make good profit in the market. Those that lost their money on volatile coin are those that failed to follow the platform rules. All you need is to make sure you follow all the rules that guard every Gemini USD investment to protect your coins not to be scam.

When i first started i was advised to not buy coins from btc first since i didnt have a huge amount of money to notice if my investment did a return due to the high price of btc also when it goes down it goes down fast. But if you were one of the lucky ones on 2017, you wouldve benefitted from this volatile characteristic of btc.

What do you mean lost coin because buy BTC ? They shouldn't lose any coin if they keep it secure.
We can lose the value of coin we bought if the market is bad, price falling, but we still have the coin, not lose it.
I dont think it is a good idea to buy and hold USDT without doing anything because you won't get anything by holding USDT.

What is the purpose of holding stable coin like USDT mate ? You can buy USDT and start trading with it to gain profit.
But you won't get anything from holding USDT in your wallet. Less volatile coin is not a stable coin.
Im usually using stable coin such USDT as my base trading pair on exchange.

Tether is a stable coin which you can use to invest in other crypto coins/tokens. If you just keep holding Tether, I don't think you will get any return on the investment.

If you want to play extremely safe, then you can buy Tether and start lending them on binance that earns you some interest.

There's no profit in stable coins. Some traders are using it to cut loss if the price is declining, then buying back once the market turns better.

We need to take risk in order to gain its part of investing. Bitcoin and other altcoins are high volatile and risky but its much better because of getting more profit.

In cryptocurrency we need to take risk to make money which is common thing about trading. Less volatile coins limit the loss, whereas the stablecoins make the holding asset values to be stable without much variation even when the cryptocurrency market is declining or increasing with time.

We can't predict which coin will be highly volatile and which coins are less volatile in the market, because in no time the price variation happens. With the market getting more maturity we'll get more less volatile coins

Those that lost their fund as a result of investing on a volatile coin like bitcoin does not mean, if you invest in a volatile coin you will lost the way others lost thi fund.those that lost their money for investing on volatile coin lack  personal research. I guess investing on a volatile coin such as bitcoin will help you to generate a great profit compare less volatile coin like BNB, Gemini USD, Tether etc.

Many people are looking for safe investment which is actually there is no like that, because every project , investment and coins have risk so it means there is no guarantee coins that will give 100 percent sure of profit. I suggesting to everyone invest to the coin who is in the rank you why because they have strong foundation that will not decrease fast but also better to invest to other coins for more profit because we don't know what coin is less volatile because everyone can change the value.

There is no such a safe investment even if we were going to invest in a real life businesses. Risk were always there, a chance to lose has a high probability if and even if we don't know how to deal with it. And so even in cryptocurrency which i'll bet it is far more risky than i think. All kinds of altcoin have its risk, you should choose between those coins which were you going to invest with, the highest the value of the crypto the higher the chance of taking risk.

Every crypto will be volitile.  Stablecoins are risky because you can lose everything.  If you are afraid of volitility than crypto is just not for you at this point.  Risk reward are both very high.

If someone thinks that crypto coins are more volatile than his liking then he should find relatively stable pairs to trade and crypto market and trading is not for him. I will suggest him to find less volatile trading pairs in forex or commodity market.

Sometimes some people want to invest in tokens or coins at least we can see the exchange, whether there are many investors in it or not at all, that if there are many investors there will be some tokens or coins, there will likely be a significant movement in the exchange, if the exchange in it does not have even a few investors so the growth of tokens and coins is very slow for the price development, so if you want to invest at least choose an exchange that has large investors in it then your investment will be easy to predict ...

Investing in stablecoins can be called investing only if your native currency is different from the dollar, and provided that your native currency depreciates faster than the dollar. But within the framework of a cryptocurrency, it cannot be called an investment if you buy stablecoins for dollars, you simply transfer one currency to another. Alas, the entire market depends on bitcoin, bitcoin, in turn, is volatile, which means that the whole market is volatile after it.

The cryptocurrency space is a volatile market and all cryptocurrencies are volatile in nature. USDT is less volatile, as the volatility can only be visible when trading against fiat, but it's best to enter the market with a set goal of understanding the market. Its possible to make some losses, but at the end of the day, it would be beneficial as you'll have gotten first hand experience. Don't be scared to try new things and always remember to invest only what you're willing to loose.

I would agree that stable coins could be risky but not from the volatility side, from the side of they could lie about the amount of USD cash they got for the crypto money in the market, I remember a while ago they accused Tether company that it has printed fake usdt and imported it in bitfinex , it had a bad affection on bitfinex but tether seems like got away with it , I use stable coins to shield myself against volatility and there is no easier way than stable coins, I use USDT and USDC, not low volume coins, in that case, I can sell them in most of the exchanges to any other coins that I wish or just keep them and wait for a good ICO or a farmable coin!

Very well summed up and people often think stablecoins are made to stabilize the value in fiat while being in the crypto market but like you said stable coins are centralized and the risk is even bigger and we might end up losing all the money in search of lowering the volatility. Although one can actually try and reduce the volatile nature by purchasing coins that don't have much change to their value for example ETH won't change too much unless there is a new development news so just keep an eye on the market and you can reduce volatility to a considerable amount.

I personally trade crypto because of the high volatile nature because I have been someone who spent a lot of time in things like currency trading (USD/EUR pair for example) and the change is so slow that you have to wait weeks and even months to get decent profits and here in crypto market you might face loss but the changes are faster and profits are quicker.

;D ;D ;D ;D they are stablecoin, no need to invest, less volatile coin maybe ltc,xmr will fit your choice

put small investment and try learn some trading by yourself, or try buy some rigs and the profit you can learn to trade from it

it less risk rather than your money direct to buy coin and make your nervous  ;)

Yeah, for sure and crypto was meant to be volatile and unpredictable so if people start looking out for stable pairs in the crypto market then surely they are searching the wrong fruit on the tree.

But, from a newbie's perspective I do understand that it worries during the changing market and now the change is nothing as compared to when I first came into crypto because that time the market used to swing like crazy and it was an emotional roller coaster every day. The more we get experienced and get deep in the market the more adaptability we develop and someone who comes from forex is actually shocked initially by the sharp movements.

The more volatile is the coin the more chances that you will get a good profit but the risk is their to lose your profit.
Actually I want being volatile of the bitcoin because I can do shorterm witht that but for the beginners it is very risky if they don't have enough experience on how to do it. Every Crypto coins the price is undpredictable anytime anything is possible and we don't know if price is high or down so even you investing to coin there's still risk.

That is true that tether(USDT) is really a less volatile or more stable cryptocurrency but because of its less volatility it also gave a lesser profit once you invest on it knowing that those lower risk tokens can give you less gain but on the other hand those tokens with higher risk can really give a higher gain. If you wanted to gain more I suggest you try a take a higher risk token if you are looking for a very good profit.

I think the volatility depends on the market capitalization and number of investors of a certain coin. The more people trade a particular the less volatile a coin should be because one single trader has less impact on the overall price. It also depends on which kind of investors are active in that coin. If it's mostly investors who just buy and hold a coin, the daily trading volume is very low, so one large order could send price flying. The past volatility is definitely a good indicator on the risk of the coin. But the overall correlation to all risky assets we see during the pandemic is quite high. If there are bad news coming it's very likely investors are selling all their risky assets, stocks, currencies and corporate bonds.

At least you are not serious about this?USDT(tether) is a Stable coin
that is why it is called Stable coin because your Money on this coin is very safe and not major affected of the market flow.
this is advisable for those Business operator that wanted to use crypto as their extra asset.

I don't think so, in my opinion, if you are a beginner, it is better to learn experience with a demo account, because in my opinion, if you study in a market that has little volatility or stable coins it is less effective. In a market with high volatility we learn that every time there is a possibility for the market to change quickly, you learn to adjust the market and know the market trend when there is something with a certain indicator. There is much we can learn in a highly volatile market.

If the OP is referring to stablecoins, I need to remind him that there is no point in investing in them. Stablecoins are just fiat currencies in crypto format. Rather than investing in these stablecoins, you can directly invest in fiat currency (in the form of bonds, savings deposits or even banknotes). Stablecoins are tokens issued by exchanges and therefore the risk is there.

Investing into stable coins is actually a bad idea and I do store stable coins but that is when I feel the bitcoin market is going to go down and I need to convert my BTC into something solid. But investing into stablecoin doesn't make sense because you are investing into something that is meant to be stable so unless you get some staking rewards it's useless.

I believe stablecoins were made for the sole purpose to allow traders to have a basic currency which they can rely on. For example a trader can make all his trades throughout the day and at the end of the day he wants to ensure that the money he earned doesn't change so he can always convert his coins into stablecoins like USDT and relax.

You've knew the fact about bitcoin and other coins already, they are high risk investment, the higher the risk the higher the reward, that's crypto for you, I see you are a newbie so it's better to leave of you don't understand how crypto works or if you don't have the nerve of losing money because learning will cost you money and time but the end result of learning is higher than you can imagine, that's only if you willing to learn and put in some energy

To make good profit from investing in cryptocurrency, your choice must volatile coins. You can't really make anything investing in stable coin, you can only use it to store your assets during dump. If you make proper research, you will find good projects to invest.

There is an explanation behind calling those coins stablecoin. you don't have anything to free they are accessible to support your assets to keep away from hefty misfortune on the lookout. it is likewise accessible in the forex market where you can trade your stock to fiat so as to dodge liquidity. on the off chance that you wish to put resources into stablecoins like USDT or dai and the rest, you don't have anything to free and nothing to win
