Let's assume that in the next bull market the portfolio is worth so much that you would have been financially secure for the rest of your life. How would you restructure your portfolio to ensure its value? Cash all out in Fiat, Stablecoins, all or part of it in Bitcoin?
Stablecoins are here for the same purpose you have mentioned like when you are reaching your target price levels then you can lock your profits into stablecoins given that you are expecting the end of bull run. At the same time I am still afraid of making use of stablecoins. Because they are centralized corporate coins and anything may happen with them like freezing out funds may happen. As of now, caching out into our local fiats must be more safer than using stablecoins.
I believe that the upcoming bull market may not make my life settled still I will try to cash out some big percentage of my bitcoin holding so that I will buy back when bitcoin prices coming down. Like anyone here, it will be difficult for me to exactly predict the new ATH still approximately doing something may end up doubling my bitcoins.
But I would say cashing out to fiat is a bit more secure, if you cash out to usdt or any other stablecoin there is still a risk, your money still be gone. Not just that it could be hacked or anything which is a viable threat actually, but also tether could come out tomorrow and say they are gone and exit scam and you will be left hanging with worthless tokens. Hence the perfect way to fully cash out is to cash out to fiat itself.
It is not something we would want, I want to stay at bitcoin no matter what happens, I want to stay here when the price is 3k and I want to stay here when its 20k, but if I really want to cash out I will use fiat itself instead of something that represents fiat. Or maybe that's just me, maybe I am being a bit too paranoid about it who knows.
