Bitcoin Forum

Hi everyone, hope you are having a good day. I have a few questions regarding stable coins, I've made some gains in this crypto bull market and wanted to save some of these gains in the form of stable coins and also save some of my income in these coins since they give higher interest rates than a regular bank. I will use something like AAVE or Blockfi to get interest on these dollar begged coins but I'm clueless as to which one should I go for? USDC seems to be a great option but a few questions come to mind:
-are there any decentralized stable coins that are superior to USDC?
-is DAI better than USDC since it's more decentralized?
-How would the price and performance of ETH affect something like DAI(since it's coming from Maker)?
-Are there other decentralized Stable coins that are better than DAI?
-Are there any projects coming in the future that I should keep an eye on that might have something that is better that USDC,TUSD,DAI, etc.

Read up these threads and you will able to answer up your own question.If its really worth to save up using stable coin.

I do not know much about this DAI since I only used it once or twice on Curve.finance. The one I've used often is USDT. I know it's heavily Fudded in the community due to Bitfinix shady operations for some years now but it gets the job done for me. USDC is also another good option or if you prefer binance projects, you can use BUSD stablecoin. Binance will be around for a long time so their stable coin should be too. For the last question, I think the only upcoming stable coin project is Facebook libra for now.

It should be DAI
Yes it is and as far as i know that if USDC is not decentralized stable coin dude.
I don't even see if ethereum was affecting dai and the price of dai is quite stable right now.
Dai should be the best stable coin ATM
Im not sure about these because there were no differences between all of them. That means they were working in the same thing.

Stable Coin is stable coin because none will add extra value to your assets only just to preserve the value so why looking for who is better, I think rather you look for who is more secured that will stick around for long, usdt seem to be the most used but with many fud surrounding it,
I sometimes use Busd  and to me seem more secure, and as for Dai i have never use it, I only stick to the ones I have used, but the choice is yours.

of course many choose USDT to save assets because this stable coin is a coin that is already popular in the eyes of crypto users many advantages
one of them is a transaction tool low fee fast network and has multiple platforms, I always save my assets to USDT when bear season comes

I would agree on low fees if it's the TRC-20 version but the erc-20 USDT is another matter. We all know the congestion and the high fees over the ethereum network. I'd prefer BUSD when we're talking about fast and cheap.

AFAIK, DAI can be better stable coin for long term storage since it is backed by ethereum but not sure do we have any platform for staking DAI and get interest like USDT on Blockfi like platforms and also gs fee can be a problem with ethereum network.

It seems usage of BUSD is getting increased due to the Binance reputation so you can consider them too but its not decentralized.

Binance is promising, so people are now showing interest and confidence in this exchange. We all see the BNB coin growing and I am sure that the BUSD stable token will also be popular. The BUSD token is the fruit of the work of two large companies Paxos and Binance, which are trying to provide maximum consumer protection. BUSD is fully backed by the dollar, the coin collateral is in the American banks of the insurance companies. The coin is reliable and of high quality, you can use it without fear of losing your deposits.

I use USDT more than DAI and I don't care about been decentralized or not, USDT serves it's purpose well just like DAI would but USDT have more volumes and liquidity than others and it's also well paired to other coins on top exchanges

yes .you are right my friend .agree with you. looks it usdt and DIA are stable coin in market. and for saving you can use usdt and DIA . and you can also buy and trading many altcoin and bitcoin with this pair.

In your list Eth, TUSD are the potential one from my knowledge.Other are not a potential one as like this two coin.Not only the listing make the coin a potential one. The flow of that coin among the traders and investors show it as a potential one. From My knowledge USDT is better to hold for as long as your want.

DAI is a decentralized stable coin and is really backed up on the MKR platform. If you want to use it, use it. Most of them are just the same but I'll be careful with USDT. Other choices like BUSD and USDC, they're fine for me.

Isn't it still


USDT

USDC


In this Order?

It is but the problem is people were seeing USDT and USDC as centralized coins. That's why people will always suggest DAI as the best stable coin that can't be frozen by the issuer.
Im thinking about as long as the wallet will not be used for the criminal act and it's quite impossible for tether to freeze our money.
This is only the main concern but so far both were good

Some say that DAI is the one that cannot be frozen but you should check that out first, OP. I would still suggest USDT in the end, because it's what most reasonably suggest but I still highly suggest searching for the first one that I mentioned though.

A lot of people just want to save their profits in stable coins so that they can buy BTC when they wish so it is a real concern which stable coin one should use in current time when tether is facing so much heat and there isn't any good decentralized stable coin apart from DAI.

Yes, that's the only option right now but the problem is that Tether controls everything you hold and they can dump the market if they wish, I don't think they will or should but risk is always there.

I don't think fees is playing into anyone's mind when we are looking to save money for future and only have to spend the transaction fees once when saving and again when withdrawing.

Actually, stable coins are not very profiting if you just keep them.
But some exchanges have passive income program, which requires the users to deposit and lock their stable coins.
Most of that exchanges accept USDT, so USDT i think is the best stable coin for saving and we can get a good and stable Annual income from it.

You have point, but I guess gaining profit is up to you how and when you keep it, is it when the value is low, middle or high, both ways can gain profit. Talking about best stable coin, as What I see there are lots of best coin, one of them are ethereum, USDT and many more. The best coin is up to you to choose because you can see how demand it in crypto market.

USDC is really good considering they are partnering with visa, although you may use these stablecoins just for staking but it's really no harm to choose stablecoins that could bring more features. Not to mention there's rumour going around that visa may launch USDC credit card but we don't know whether that rumour holds the truth.

USDC, TUSD, DAI are actually good to be used as savings in your wallet, meaning that Altcoin is an Altcoin that is considered stable in the up and down market movements that do not shift much. But I think Ethereum is a great choice as your savings, at least when the Ethereum price is higher then the big profits will also be yours in the future.

for me the best stable altcoin is ethereum. ethereum is good and it is safe to hold it. the price of eth will probably pump and expect to rise this year as bitcoin does. you can buy more of it and save/hold it you can be millionaire if you do bought now and sell it after a year or two, you will never regret if you buy ethereum now.

Best stable coin in my opinion is USDT. Its trusted and reliable. One of the primary reason for its success is the fact that you can find it on almost all big exchanges. Unfortunately, we can't say that about USDC.

From my research, I think DAI is the best stable coin so far, it is way more decentralized far more than USDC, this is if usdc is even decentralized in any way, but for sure, DAI is the best stable coin right now I know of, there are still some other stable coins still in the making which I don't advice you make use of cus they are still relatively new and trust level is very low but it's still good you know them, and one of them is SAP, SAP is a stable coin pegged to the dollar but the project is still under development, the coins isn't even listed on coinmarketcap yet, but it's traded on uniswap and their own exchange which is called Nova bank.
So in conclusion, I advice you go with DAI, as it is the best stable coin I know of right now, not to say usdc and usdt aren't good, but Dai is better.

with the use of customs of indication on referring technical decision on appealing movement of price with the market, investors have with confidence as preparing to release funds on exchange with the market, that more investors to dispose risks on convergence bias with the use of tasks as confronting ideas with different expert/trader with the forum.

In my opinion, the best choice for you is USDC because you want to get a reward or interest rate on the USDC you have. Coinbase is partnered with USDC and you must at least meet the requirement to receive the prize. So, forget USDT, DAI and go for USDC because you care about interest rate.

But anyway, if you want to keep all your money temporarily in stabilcoin, then I recommend you to choose DAI because of its decentralization. For centralized altcoin, you have to consider all the risk involved.

Probably you're looking for a best decentralize stable coin for long term saving purpose which is quite interesting but you know this is not going to be much beneficial for you but safe if you hold stable coin in your personal wallet, lending them on a trustable exchange may be a profitable deal for you anyways whatever your strategy is, I would suggest you go for DAI which is absolutely a capable decentralize stable coin.

maybe everyone will certainly agree with what you say if what you are looking for is a stable coin, of course the choice will fall on USDT, because as you have explained it can almost be found on any market because it seems that it has been used as an exchange tool which is too stable even if there is movement including very small and does not have the same impact though. Regarding USDC, I can't comment because I haven't tried it and it looks like the same as USDT, but in general it is likely that USDT will always be the first choice when viewed from marketcap.

Both options should be used to store asset values, and of course if storing asset values in Virtual currency goes up and down simultaneously, that's why I am trying to suggest that Ethereum is a good choice as a savings for storing asset values. this is according to my version

You both pointing out your reasons and both valid in a different point of views, but the question

goes to stable coin and that refer to asset which is not moving whatever the market go, USDT

still functioning as one of the top while BUSD also gathering decent interest from the investors and

traders due to the owner/developer of this asset.

In simple words, no. Because the liquidity and price won't be as close to where they should be with most decentralized stable coins.

I wish it was but the sad reality is that USDC is still better than DAI although USDC is centralized as opposed to DAI which is decentralized, but that's my opinion and I might be wrong. I am just comparing on the liquidity and market volume basis.

Not right now but I am sure there will be in the future given how much concern is surrounding the decentralization of stable coins.

I am trying to find the same but quite frankly, I won't be touching any news coins unless they build a decent market cap or at least volume.

Do you mean pegged? It came out pretty funny anyway.

I wouldn't trust stablecoins enough to try to hold them for a long time and expect big profit. I'd especially stay away from USDt.

Remember that despite being pegged which means they're following fiat prices they are still cryptocurrencies and as those they depend on the whole market. They can stand certain amount of volatility but if the crypto boom ends somehow it will also crash stablecoins. I'd rather choose bitcoin or a decentralized privacy coin than a stablecoin for long term holding.

If you want to find a good stable coin for saving, then I would suggest you USDT and BUSD, because the volume of USDT and BUSD is very high, so of course your money will be safe (easy to sell and buy), besides that you can also staking using USDT and BUSD on Binance exchange, so you can get passive income from save your money in stable coin (USDT and BUSD).

All of stable coins are worth to be used as saving to avoid the volatility. We have so many stable coins and DAI looks the best stable coin. BUSD is not accepting in a lot of sites and i think that we should reconsider this to be used as a stable coin to save our value.
it's better to replace it with USDC with visa integration.
