"Why not just sell your crypto directly to Fiat?"

Many people do not have that option, so Tether quickly caught on when most major exchanges offered it as a USD alternative. USDC started later, so Tether had a huge head start. I am really surprised the the big heap of rotting scam has not exploded yet.

Yes, USDC is a much safer bet.



They buy btc to back up their currency USDT so that's what the money should be backed by btc. The digital gold.
Think about the fiat currencies every dollar bill in your pocket are debt the USDT seems much more reliable then fiat, USDT can and it should decouple of dollar If the dollar value don't go up.
Me and many others like to see one day USDT paper currency also.....

.....
That's what the btc should be all about backing up the currency value for currency issuer.

Seriously? A stablecoin that constantly add new units into circulation without regular audits is considered "sound money"? Looks more like a scam to me. It won't be long before it all blows up. And when it does, expect market prices for major cryptocurrencies to go all the way down the drain in an instant. USDC is a much safer bet, since the company backing it is regulatory-compliant. Circle (the issuer of USDC) went as far as redeeming USDC to $1 USD for its customers even when the stablecoin lost the peg for a short amount of time. This helps build trust among investors and traders alike.

Tether/USDT won't provide proof of its USD reserves for some reason. I'd take it with a grain of salt, especially when we saw Terra/LUNA's stablecoin collapse in an instant. Why not just sell your crypto directly to Fiat? It's much safer this way. Cheesy
