😩⚡️🤔 What to hold between Bitcoin and USDT ⁉️

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital finance, a peculiar linguistic paradox has emerged. We have an entire class of cryptographic assets collectively known as “stablecoins” tokens like USDT (Tether) or USDC (Circle) whose sole purpose is to maintain a perfect 1 :1 parity with the US Dollar. When a crypto investor seeks “safety” during a market downturn, they “flight to stables.” Investors view these assets as the bedrock, the calm harbors where they can wait out the storm.

Conversely, we have Bitcoin. Bitcoin is infamous for its gut wrenching volatility. It can drop 10% in a day or surge 300% in a year. To the average observer, to the mainstream financial media, and even to many crypto participants, Bitcoin is the very antithesis of “stable.” Bitcoin is viewed as a speculative risk asset, a chaotic digital casino.

Yet, this conventional wisdom is built upon a fundamental misunderstanding of what money is and what “stability” actually means in economic terms. If we define stability merely as the absence of daily price variance against the US Dollar, then yes, stablecoins are stable.

But if we define stability more accurately as the preservation of purchasing power over time, the ability of your labor stored today to buy the same amount of goods and services in ten years then the narrative flips entirely. Through this lens, stablecoins are tragically flawed, offering only a deceptive illusion of safety, while Bitcoin, despite its turbulent exterior, emerges as the only “real” stablecoin for a long term saver.

This realization requires a paradigm shift. It requires understanding that holding a stablecoin is merely accepting a seat on a slowly sinking ship, whereas holding Bitcoin is an attempt to secure a spot on a lifeboat that, while rocking violently on the waves, is the only vessel actually floating on the rising tide of global liquidity.

To understand why Bitcoin is the real stablecoin, we must first dismantle the perceived stability of the assets it is compared to : the US Dollar and its digital proxies, USDT and USDC.

A stablecoin is only as stable as the asset it is pegged to. If you tie a small boat tightly to a large ocean liner, the small boat will not move relative to the liner. It feels stable to those on board. But if the liner itself is slowly taking on water and sinking into the abyss, the stability of the small boat is a comforting lie preceding an inevitable drowning…

In conclusion, according to me, Bitcoin is the best asset to hold for a long term holding…

But for a short term holding, a stablecoin is better.
