Is there any benefit to buying altcoins with tether over bnb?

[savetheFORUM]

Hi guys, this may be an obvious answer, but when I buy altcoins on metamask I go to coinbase btc then buy bnb and at binance.us and send it to trust wallet to convert it to smartchain black bnb and then to the metamask.  I was just told you can buy most coins with tether, which would save a step if I can just buy tether on coinbase... is there any reason NOT to use tether and streamline the process? does any find you can't buy some coins with tether?

I would assume that you would probably know the price of BNB when you are making a calculation like that. If you need USDT to calculate how much you are buying or selling without looking up the price of BNB or do not know how to calculate the transaction in dollars, then I would not advise you to trade anyway.

A trader who knows what he is doing would know exactly how much of that coin he is buying by paying that much amount of BNB, exactly in dollar terms, some even better ones can calculate it in bitcoin instantly as well. Even if you can't right away, just use a calculator. This doesn't mean you have to use BNB, I am just saying that is not a good enough reason for USDT.

Of course there are many benefits if we buy tokens on Tether or BNB, the function of tokens is the same, namely facilitating transactions, and I think there have been a lot of tokens from Tether that have skyrocketed such as ApenFT, BTT torrents and so on, and the thing that makes me like the tether token is the transaction fee and better speed than BNB.

There are many advantages when buying tokens, especially tokens that are new listed in the market which will usually pump big at the beginning, I think investing tokens is easier because they are usually available on many exchanges, and this is what makes most devs. prefer to develop tokens rather than create own coins.

maybe just bridge over the USDT you bought from coinbase that usually are in ETH over BSC. if you decided in doing this, you should also rethink about the gas fee that’s gonna be required for bridging because you know ETH could be such a pain in the ass in this regard.
after that you could just convert your USDT in BUSD because I think BUSD in BSC platform is the most popular pair used widely in many swaps platform like the ones that are in BSC. This could shortens the steps needed for you like significantly, and I think it’s gonna be a lot more simple than it seems.
