5 days ago I read that one of the posts on twiiter USDT is temporarily down https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/1538155542643888128 and are there other factors that make usdt stronger?

I am not 100% sure how the mechanism behind USDT works but in general stablecoins are operating in a way that is trying to make sure that the price of one USDT is always at exactly 1USD. This means that the company behind USDT is minting new USDT when the demand is high and the price of one USDT is starting to become higher than 1 $ or they are burning USDT when the demand is low and the price would get lower than 1 $. This usually works pretty well when the market is realtively stable but when that big Terra Luna crash happened a few weeks or months ago the whole market was shaken and even a huge project like USDT cold not hold it's peg 100%.

The idea is that there is this company, and that company has printed USDT and sold it for USD and then when you want your USD back then they will get your USD and give it to you. It means that there is a company that gives you something that could be traveling the whole world for 10 cents even if you send 1 billion dollars, meanwhile keeping the "real" money in their bank account.

This means that we are talking about the money staying in a vault until someone needs the actual cash, until then it could travel the world 100 times without spending a dollar on it. If we kept using USD instead of USDT then we would have spent billions on it and that’s how it works. All based on people trusting Tether company.

There's a meeting that's happening right now and there will be for tomorrow too. Everyone is expecting that there's another effect on it the price of USDT and that's why those that have been holding stablecoins are still holding it because whatever the outcome of that meeting, surely will affect the price of it. Well, there's the effect on USDT because we are all aware of where it is relying and that's why when FED results in a positive meeting, the price of USD will be increasing again and so does the USDT.
That was still a meeting and they haven't taken any action yet but don't tell me that you think of it as one of the reasons on why tether is getting stronger? Hhmm. Even if usdt is a stable coin it is still possible for their prices to get affected although the effect won't be too much same with what we are seeing in normal volatile cryptos, so there is no need to worry about and they can also return to a dollar or more within a short period of time.

If someone is worried and scared about the outcome of the meeting then why will they still hodl their stable coin? They can always dispose it now that they still have a chance. There are some that still holds but that is because they are safeguarding their crypto profits and then maybe buy some cryptos once the price starts dipping again.

I have an assumption that the era of USDT leadership is coming to an end. USDC is steadily reclaiming the market and the gap between the capitalization of these two assets has recently narrowed a lot, now about 11 billion. Most likely, investors saw some concerns about losing peg to the USD and started pouring liquidity into USDC in droves. USDT has not always been smooth with collateral, because judging by their audits, the collateral there was not fiat, but more in securities.

Thanks for this info, I haven't followed USDC though, as I put some of my assets in USDT right now so obviously, I'm more concern about this news. But as others have pointed out, this is DDOS attack and not on their reserves dwindling down or something.

What kind of DDOS attack are you talking about? May events this year well demonstrated how USDT lost its peg and this alerted many investors. USDC quickly took advantage of the situation and published an audit where the collateralization of securities reserves is much lower than USDT. Most likely, this influenced investors and they began to pour liquidity into USDC.

Just look at the market now, it seems that the talks during the fed meeting resulted in a positive one as what we can see with the market. The raise in interest rate to 0.75% has made the market green again. And for bitcoin from $21k back to $22k and is closing into $23k once again.
The market reacts positively so basically, the fed's meeting of misreading the inflation got every retailer into having a good and positive thought towards the market and many bought.

after I found out about the problematic USDT I no longer use it as long term storage. except for coins that have an exchange with USDT. the fact that I know from the crypto news side As is well known, a coin that is known to be stable like USDT has a value that refers to the US dollar. Tether claims that USDT itself is fully backed by fiat like the dollar and euro. it turned out that after the Regulator had investigated Tether results for 26 months from 2016 to 2018. The regulator managed to reveal that Tether only had reserves to support USDT of 27.6% on the day of the inspection and did not audit what the audit promised every day.

Inflation is the reason as it is almost pegged to the value of the US dollar. Same thing to other stablecoins like BUSD, USDC, DAI, etc. However, I wouldn't recommend holding much USDT because there are recent events that it was de-pegged that we've seen it go down to as much as $0.95 before climbing right now to $0.999 to $1.00. BUSD and USDC are much better for me in my opinion.

I've just recently converted all of my remaining USDT to fiat via Binance P2P and I mostly have BUSD as stablecoin.
