The struggle is real

[dunfida]

Brothers who cares about privacy, my question is how did you people do your thing when it's time to take profit and hold on to that profit for a while? Do you convert them back to Fiat or what? Or you just hold them in DAI?

People will have different choices, most people in the United States may see no reason of using any stable coins but convert the coins to United States dollar instead.

I prefer to make use of many stable coins instead, and this mostly include USDT and USDC. My coins have not been seized before if it is not more than trading, exchanges and sending from noncustodial wallet.

Just simply join the bandwagon then you wont be having any problem on trying out to overthink about on what would happen. If majority is that pouring up their attention to USDT stable coin then its better to stick with that. I cant blame out those people who would be having those kind of doubts, take a look for example on what happened on USTC as far as i remember on which the value dropped even if its a stable coin. Probabilities about those fears that we do have in mind is something which is that very possible to happen. This is why storing your gains on USDT does still have that corresponding risks but it is that less riskier though. Dont mind about having that anonymity considering these stables are completely centralized. If your priority is just that buy low sell high then waiting up for the opportunity and striking the right moment should be your approach.

Its not bad on completely being that too mindful about the risks because we've been able to witness out those things in the past and thats why it cant be avoided that we will be having such doubts and hesitance.

Well, there's a low chance that your stable coins will be ceased or locked in your wallet if it's not in any way connected to any suspicious event, for example, if you sold your Bitcoin on a cex or via p2p with someone that is trusted and not into internet fraud, the USDT or stable coins that you will receive will be clean and won't be tied to any scam or crime that let it be locked. I have done that many times and yet my USDT has never been freezed before, that's because it's clean but it doesn't totally take away the risk that the coins is centralized.

[Shinpako09]

I’ve only tried two stablecoins, USDT and USDC, mainly USDT. If you have, let’s say, millions worth of crypto and want to hold it in stablecoins, just like what we always say in investing: don’t put all your eggs in one basket, diversify. I don’t believe USDT, USDC, or DAI would all be frozen at the same time. Or you can simply convert it and withdraw it to your bank so you won’t have to worry about it being frozen or anything.

For me I don't really trust stable coins that much The only stable coin that I have a little bit of trust in is USDT and the only reason why I have such a trust is because it is everywhere and if it's about to fail it will be difficult to fail that easily. For other stable coins that are unknown they can go off the market and nobody will know. USDT have been accused of freezing people's coin but I believe those are people that have some issues with the government also in legal activities. Your coins will never be frozen if you don't have a problem, I am not trying to say they are the best but it is the most safest idea for now and very popular for me to use. Popularity plays a very big role in the cryptocurrency industry and for anyone that want to make use of a stable coin is better to go for the popular ones and avoid losing your money to scam because we have a lot of scammers that are launching new stable coins almost every time and some claim to be decentralised meanwhile they are not decentralised but just scams hiding in plain sight.

Assuming I sold Bitcoin at 120k and plan to buy back at 50k ( not a financial advice ) the risk here is while sitting on your gains waiting for the next opportunity you woke up to the stable coin freezing your stables,

I don't think I have ideal about what you said that stable coins freezes stable when they are both traditions digital currencies.
systems and doesn't varies to be volatile at some points.

I am also not sure that after Bitcoin has reached that price @ $120K, it will fall over the 50% again but it is possible. But the questions must you only have to buy at such bottom DIP?

I am very sure that most people like this too hopes to buy at the expecting DIP. A time of missing out will come when the market has to continue it uptrends after you are too quick to sell because, the price might actually keep chasing other ATHs while you will be waiting.

As long as your are using a centralized asset like USDT, you have a problem. You are at the mercy of both the government and the central control of such coins. USDT is the most popular quite alright, but popularity doesn't mean safety and security of funds.

It is worth knowing that even having USDT on self-custody wallets doesn't make it freezing proof. Tether can still freeze the assets through their mechanisms or by government order, so it is never a good approach to leave huge funds on any centralized asset.

As you mentioned, it is basically equivalent to short-term trading. Because we invest in Bitcoin for the long term, we do not choose the right time to take profits. I follow the DCA method, collect Bitcoin and hold it for a long time, it is quite suitable to buy Bitcoin at any time and hold it for a long time. Because if you hold Bitcoin for a long time and follow the DCA method, you do not have to wait for a dip in the market. Therefore, if you hold Bitcoin following the DCA method, the chances of getting more benefits are created and the risk is much less.

[Timotech]

So, for beginners, I think you should spend much time researching and gaining more knowledge of trading before setting the number of revenue.Investing in Bitcoin and artificial intelligence has risks Everyone cannot “win” and a company cannot guarantee returns in these investments.

[Pablo-wood]

I also sometimes use USDC/USDT, but I never store larger amounts of money for longer period in it.

I think this is the best use case for USDT/USDC, keeping the amount relatively low and affordable to avoid freezing our assets and ensuring the duration for holding shouldn't last longer than necessary. DAI seems to be more volatile than USDT as such I will rather choose this when dealing with larger amounts to avoid confiscation and all.

...

When it comes to bitcoin investment a newbie can always leverage on the knowledge of experienced users but for other technologies or other coins it's best to do proper research then ask a few questions before drawing conclusions on what step to take.

The only way to take profit in crypto space is with the help of stable coins.


For us who cares about privacy we are only left with a choice out of many others stable coins (DAI), tell me how we are not in trouble already? People who cares about Privacy are left to struggle on their own like the world is against them totally.

If you have your funds in a non custodial wallet and it is a stable coin, you are to a very large extent sure of your Holdings and if the profit collection is the case, you could then make the necessary swaps when the need be and still have less to worry about privacy except you are doing it on an exchange that is KYC driven else you still have your privacy protected an if you must, you can get a vendor who transacts with crypto to accept your coin for purchase of goods and that way you get to spend your crypto and still maintain your anonymity.

I think he was trying to say that the people behind stable coins will freeze our money in stable coin form. It can happen as well if we store the stable coin in a centralized platform. But even not really a stable coin, but any crypto (preferably decentralized) but stored at them, can also experience the same thing if we are unlucky. As for that BTC dropping, it is only an example.

But like you, yeah, it is rare to occur now that the adoption is already strong. What is more prone to happen is a recovery after a dip or more increase like you also said there. So obviously, waiting for a long time for a big dip is not a good idea. This is why DCA is now popular in Bitcoin and then there are now a plethora of new coins, for those who want to experience investing at the early stages or when the price is still low.

[Findingnemo]

Just keep the privacy and coin freezing issue, assume that it will stay there as long as you want still it is a bad choice because 120K and 50K there is a huge difference so the price may not even reach 50K or it might take too long so if you just hold the crypto idle then what is the use of it? What if you reduced the margin to 80K and will sell again when it reach 100K and then buy back at 90K and keep repeating in that range is more likely to be possible and profitable.

[Jostern]

When you see threats from afar you take actions to neutralised them before they get close.

The only way to take profit in crypto space is with the help of stable coins.

Assuming I sold Bitcoin at 120k and plan to buy back at 50k ( not a financial advice ) that money will be in stable coin still that stupid or smart opportunity comes along.

The risk here is while sitting on your gains waiting for the next opportunity you woke up to the stable coin freezing your stables, how many people are actually thinking about this? And we said that we are escaping from total control of the government and centralised entities?

There are over 100s of stable coins today while only few maintains high marketcap and high numbers of users, USDt, USDc, PYUSD and few new ones.

Honestly speaking if I should tell you about things happening with the cryptocurrency world you will have to understand what you should do about talking about preparation for unforeseen circumstances, Look unforeseen circumstances are normal in life, what matters is how you are able to handle this unforeseen situation.

Talking about cryptocurrencies I think you should consider buying bitcoin you will not have to bother about situations that will look uncertain, especially when you’re a newbie what you should actually do is buying more bitcoin keep accumulating bitcoin even when there is a bear market, because there will always going to be a bull market so I will advise you to stick to buying bitcoin.

However I don’t see any reason why you should be selling bitcoin when you’re still in your accumulation stages, and you should be holding bitcoin for a very long term period, if you’re talking about selling bitcoin now I will have no choice but to think you’re a trader who is looking for quick profits.

In this market, it is up to you how you will attack the market. Because you will be the one who can gauge what you will do with your funds. But you can always get insights and use them to your advantage. With the up and down movement because of its high volatility, we can just speculate and do what is necessary.

Bitcoin is highly volatile which doesn't mean the price will swing to any level that I wish for.

Let's say I sold bitcoins and holding the funds to buy the bitcoin at 10K which is even possible? What is bitcoin never reached 10K that is why trying to keep it real is also necessary if we really want to make any money.

[Sammye3]

Amongst all stable coins, the most preferable to me would be USDT and USDC as they are the only stable coins I have used. In some cases, after a successful trade, I convert my asset to USDT for a while, after which I could either trade again when I get a good entry.

I want to believe the reason why it could be frozen is if it has any association with a suspected fraudulent account or it has suspicious activities right? It would be better that you secure your assets in a private wallet, away from central authorities as it would give you full control over them.

I’ve only tried two stablecoins, USDT and USDC, mainly USDT. If you have, let’s say, millions worth of crypto and want to hold it in stablecoins, just like what we always say in investing: don’t put all your eggs in one basket, diversify.

If you like, put your eggs in kegs, drums, or even tanks . It can still be frozen at any time no matter the diversification.

DAI is still a little bit safer from being frozen, but it's still centralized. At least it is not as bad as USDT and USDC that can be frozen by their issuers. Withdrawing to a bank still puts you in the same endless cycle, just like they can be frozen as crypto, your bank accounts can be frozen too. So long as you're not free from centralization, then you risk losing your money.

You don't need to be too scared though, you're not doing something bad that will make your account get frozen right? It is just that there's always that possibility, which makes you  vunerable that's  the situation of almost everybody on earth btw

My recent take profits time was converted it to USDT and USDC, as these 2 stablecoins right now are the most highly market-cap, most reputable in the market, and most high volume in most DeFi platforms.
And after that I deposited in some DeFi platforms that earns some APY/APR, I know it's relatively small but I just put it there so anytime I can pull it and start to use it to buy Bitcoin again.

In any case though, I thought that USDT is the best stable coins, but recently they have this history of freezing accounts.

    Tether froze over $182 million in USDT across five wallets on the Tron blockchain, according to onchain data tracked by Whale Alert.
    The wallet freezes, one of the largest in recent months, were part of Tether's policy to comply with U.S. Treasury sanctions and executed in a coordinated manner.
    USDT is the leading stablecoin, with over $187 billion in circulation, representing about 64% of the global stablecoin market.

So yes, it's really scary that one day when you wake up, we don't know, maybe they think that we are part of such of a big scheme that our accounts need to be frozen in compliance with the authorities. So I guess there's no such thing as safe here, unless we immediately withdraw before they can freeze the account.

Volatility in the crypto market is both a blessing and a curse you are right that we can only assume that when the market is very excited we should control our greed and when the market collapses, we should not panic and act according to the plan. Therefore using ladder entry or DCA method before taking trading positions with the rise and fall of the market is quite effective in reducing risk in volatile markets.
