Totally agree. I mostly use USDT as a parking spot between trades, not for long-term saving. It keeps things stable but doesn’t grow your money.

Is saving in USDT the same as saving in dollars?

A user asked me if keeping their capital in Tether (USDT) long-term is equivalent to saving in dollars… and the answer is very important if you are starting in crypto, and I thought it was a great idea to share it with you.

USDT is a stablecoin that keeps its price stable around $1 because it is tied to the dollar.

But that also means it suffers the same loss of value over time due to inflation.

That is, 1 USDT today does not buy the same as it did 5 years ago, just like what happens with traditional dollars.

So, is it worth saving in USDT?
It depends on the goal:

If you want stability in the short term, to avoid volatility, or to exit the market while you wait for an opportunity, USDT perfectly fulfills its function.

But... if you are looking to grow your capital in the long term, USDT alone is not enough.
In that case, you need other strategies: staking, crypto investments, or assets that appreciate over time.

USDT is a useful tool, not an investment.
It is the digital equivalent of the dollar: you can use it, move it, temporarily protect it… but it will not make you grow just by having it.
