Traders prefer using USDT over BUSD but the truth there is That the two coins are both stable coins and are very good, USDT is more popular and is listed in many exchanges than BUSD and also USDT is more preferable because of its popularity, traders find USDT pairs more convenient in trading than any other stable coins.
Both of them are quite centralized, one of them is tied to a company called Tether and the other is Binance, and both of them are used a lot as well. My question is, how well do you know Tether? Do you know the CEO? Do you know what they do? Where the money is? I can tell you that Binance is obvious, we have CZ , we know the cold storage, basically we have data about them.
I dislike centralized currencies, it is the reason why I am not in fiat and I am in crypto instead, but if I had to pick a centralized stable coin I would pick BUSD because at least we know the data for that one, we have some information about it, that's why I always care for that over any other ones like usdc or tusd or usdt, all of them look like just people trying to make money and nothing more whereas BUSD looks like a way to keep the customers instead of losing them to others.
