Always Diversify Your Investment

Someone might ask, “is it not necessary to diversify stablecoins holdings since they are pegged to fiat and mostly the United States Dollar?” Stablecoins have extremely low volatility, unlike other cryptocurrencies. It will always be close to the value of the fiat at which it is pegged. Hence, it is essential to diversify.

As a result of the collapse of the Tether market, Bitcoin prices have been fluctuating at various exchanges with a wide margin. However, Tether (USDT) survived this instability. UST saw over 100% rise in its price. It attained its all-time low price of $0.2998 on May 11th, 2022. With this information, we can deduce that TerraUSD is on the part of recovery.

Unhealthy Competition Could Be Costly

Project founders need to realize that they are in the market to compete with others, not kill them. A recent tweet made by Terra founder Da Kwon stating that he would “see to it that DAI goes down” has been unearthed. This recent event could make them implement codes that could backfire. After Bitcoin split into Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Satoshi Version (BSV), Craig Wright, a BSV proponent, commented he would ensure that Bitcoin goes down. Everything seemed to be working out for him till the market reversed. Bitcoin has performed far better than BSV since then. It proved that unhealthy competition could not just affect the project but also the investors.
