USDT came after bitcoin because of a so-called "need". That need was actually fake and a cover-up for the tether scammers who inflated bitcoin's price in order to dump on people's face back in December 2017. People still cant see how badly managed tether is and how much of a scam bitfinex is upto.

This is not fully correct. Stable coins came in after the so called volatility of bitcoin which made people lose money after the tether pump. People thought that stable coins would allow them to hedge funds while bear market pulls in, but in reality thats not the case. If you really want to steer clear of a the incoming bear run, sell your coins for fiat and wait it out. You cant compare bitcoin to stable or a "better" coin in that manner.
