Re: Are stablecoins a definite solution against a bear market?
In a dreaded bear market that's lasts a long time, do you think that stablecoins are the definite solution for preserving one's investments?
So far, there has been a few stablecoins like Tether and NuBits which have gone lower than $1 at rare occasions. For investors depending on stablecoins as safe-haven assets against a bear market, this brings some disappointment. Still, stablecoins are able to retain their value against the USD most of the times. If they remain as is, then one could simply pour money into stablecoins to protect yourself against a long-lasting bear market. If prices for cryptocurrencies on the market go even lower than usual, you can even sell your stablecoins back into crypto to get more coins for your money. But this might turn to be extremely risky in a volatile crypto market.
What are your thoughts?

Although it may charge a little more fee, fiat is a safer choice. Because there is a huge difference between the possibility of USD and USDT being scam. Even USDT itself is backed up by the USD (even if that is not true). Honestly, I have not tried any of them in the last drop, I just held BTC, but it would be the USD itself if I had the choice.
