should i stay away from tether?

[xrpdavid]

I'm pretty sure Tether is safe. I wouldn't put too much money in it though, but I'd give that advice for any coin honestly. Just use tether for very short amounts if you think the market is dipping or you just want to store your money somewhere so it won't dip and you can easily buy new coins with it.

I made research tether is ok, nothing is shady about tether bad media is the problem affecting it, i trade tether on daily basis the fact the they are being accused of shady biz.

As I heard the Tether is just like Ripple: the people gonna hype it and artificially rise the price, selling the coin after some level of price. You can earn some fund on that but be ready the coin is speculations only one.

Have you check other alternatives to Tether and the USDT?

If I may suggest a stablecoin, 100% asset-backed: the GLX.

The GLX is going to be traded on the Globcoin Platform now being built. Token pre-sale is open and has a nice bonus.

You don't know when the Bitfinex/Tether bubble will pop.

If they go insolvent, get hacked, decide to print too many Tethers out of thin air, or do anything else that would tip trust into it over the edge Tether could low all of its volume nearly over night.

If you want to use it make sure not to keep any significant amounts of Tether for prolonged periods of time.

Tether is definitely safe to trade, I have tried it couple of times on bittrex, I basically returned back to ethereum and bitcoin quite easily. But I don't trust exchange named bitfinex and I don't plan to hold tether to jump on pumps beforehand.

[ntrader]

tether only for change ur coins when market is not stable and I do not advise you to hold it for long term. for example when BTC gonna to crash you can change into Tether then when the current of reverse you can change again into BTC. so that is only for value saving of of your assess. beside this; Tether has some problems with federal rules i some one waiting for solve their problems

subpoena to tether regarding their shady business

should i stay away from usdt for safety?

You should stay away kabayan!,tether is being backuped by USD,it means the banks could easily manipulate its price.Theres a lot of coins out there that you can invest to,you just need to do a lot of research because investing has a lot of things to consider like the product,development team,and roadmap so you wont be investing to these shitty coins.

pang trading lang sir ng btc. nagtratrade dn kasi ako ng straight. like nung 9k btc sinell ko sa coinsph then bought back at 6k.
ang hassle lang nung send pako ng send sa bittrex back to coinsph

frankly even i get that feel for one has so many questions about how can one coin that remain the same despite volatility

[kryptqnick]

Using tether is fine, i using it alot as an aarbitrage pair. Just dont use it as main investment, i mean when you not holding bitcoin just turn it to another stable alt dont keep it in tether, i dont like tether just because the supply always increase every few month.

I think that keeping investments in tether is also rather safe. It will not give one any profit, but it will just make the money stay on the same level. This coin is definitely the most stable one, regardless to its supply the price is always extremely close to one dollar.
 

If they go insolvent, get hacked, decide to print too many Tethers out of thin air, or do anything else that would tip trust into it over the edge Tether could low all of its volume nearly over night.

So far the team has been doing really great and nothing even close to explosion happened. I believe it means they have enough funds to always keep the situation under control.
Another good alternative to usdt might be binancecoin on binance. It is used for similar purposes, but it's not as stable in terms of the price.

I agree with the opinion of people who believe that the Tether project has a very negative impact on the crypt world as a whole, so I think that it's worth keeping away from projects that destroy the crypto world, it's just a typing machine and nothing more.

[cryptotnak]

Tether's supply is mostly unlimited so it can be use to destroy our whole market by these bankers who backing up the USDT.So i suggest if you want to get in with USDT or tether do not stay for in a long timeframe,because we wont know when this digital fiat would start to crash our crypto community,i personally love to take profits using it bu i wont invest for long term.Take your profit and forget about it,this is how we should play the market,

[BlockchainGod]

USDT is a scam. Just go around it, and the exchanges on which it is. Use exchanges that have trades with fiat.

[lil_jb]

I always stayed away from tether , never understood it to begin with.

[Denlv]

should i stay away from usdt for safety?

Yes you should get of usdt!!

I tell you few reasons why:

1. Why do you think bitfinex has second richest bitcoin wallet? Because they can make usdt out of thin air...

2. you have exchanges where you don't need usdt, but you have usd and eur there... Exchanges: kraken, bitstamp


Now you say, what's the matter, more money for us, etc.. etc... But in crypto we are here because of decentralization, what Dash, ripple, lumen, and god knows how many other "cryptocurrencies" are donig this... it's only an other form of bank...

and by using more and more of usdt, bitcoin will leap in price more and more... bigger and bigger the gap will be, and still you are like: but that's even better for us!!

well I can't argue with that... but i argue with those bankers/banks that they are in a greedy need of owning 50% of assets or creating assets out of air... I mean cum on guys, price manipulation 101
