Many of us know that USDT has opacity and for this, already renowned financial rating agencies have identified it as risky, one of which is S&P (Standard & Poor).
Now my point is that many of us hold stable currencies, whether for investment or as our own backup, what should we do in this case? In my view, USDT and USDC are among the top stable currencies, which one is more secure, USDC or USDT or any others options? I am seeking logical advice.
Secure in terms of what and from whom? They are both secure enough, but these days you might have more issues changing USDT to EUR for example.
But you might want to explain what properties you need for a stablecoin, as it also could be pegged to other things then dollars.

And anything in this space is experimental and risky. If not by shady reserves, then just via 0d exploits and noobs vulnerabilities to social engineering.

Personally i trust way less to tether after they decided not to comply with EU regulations or be more transparent.

Bitcoin like fiat is a double edge sword and has both positive and negative uses. Fiat is in existence for centuries and is used by smugglers, kidnappers and other bad guys but did any government banned fiat? The answer is No. That's because fiat has other positive uses like it's used by government to run financial system of the country, people use it for there daily livings etc. Similarly Bitcoin has it's positive aspect also and that is it's ability to provide good profit over a period of time and that's why people are holding it for longer duration.
There is nothing special about the use of criminals. Criminals use whatever they get the opportunity to use. Criminals are everywhere. It is difficult for you or me to control it. But in this era, I feel sorry and laugh for those who consider bitcoin as a tool for criminals. Because we all know the good side of bitcoin and everyone is taking advantage of it.. Where bitcoin is giving us so many possibilities, we certainly cannot consider it only as a tool for criminals. Criminals also use fiat. What would you say in this case?
Absolutely true. It's unfair to say that Bitcoin is a haven for criminals. Even in fiat there's a lot of crime, but why is the focus solely on Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a highly transparent blockchain technology.

It's important to emphasize that every developing technology has both positive and negative sides, and this applies to all technologies, whether email, social media, crypto, or even fiat, which can be used for criminal purposes by certain individuals. So let's look at it fairly: Bitcoin offers many benefits for all of us. We can't avoid criminals exploiting Bitcoin, but what's certain is that Bitcoin provides many benefits to society.

These two stable big industry coins are not safe to hold but majority might not be aware of this. You are only holding them for the sake of shifting away from the volatility market to maintain value but they are not that safe to hold. You coin can be frozen at any time without your consent. Don't argue with me cost you can always do your finding. I am not immuned to this because I am also holding it lol.
Who is going to safe us now?

Bitcoin is a global asset, which allows criminals to easily transact with it. It can only identify the wallet but not the person, so criminals can transact anonymously. Bitcoin has become a potential source for global asset transactions. Due to the depreciation of fiat or the limitations of regional monetary systems, the demand and acceptance of this digital asset is increasing across regional boundaries.

Every positive impact will have a negative impact, so you need to learn about each issue and accept only the positive side. Anyone involved in crime can commit a crime in any way if given the opportunity. Focusing on a specific issue is purposeful.

The USDT has had enough trouble of its own for years. However, being a stablecoin linked to the crypto world, I believe it will not be affected, as it has held the number 1 spot for so long. As for USDC, it has passed virtually all government clearances and regional acceptance, so it's technically safer. What I do is hold my assets in two of them in case of unforeseen circumstances, and I do it 50:50 now.

What I won't do is hold my crypto assets in other stablecoins. I view them as riskier than the two (USDT & USDC).

New Zealand vs. West Indies 1st Test is now on the last day with New Zealand in good position after setting enormous target of 531 runs but West Indies fought on Day 4 and still fighting on Day 5. There were a hope but he is now out. He was playing really well and trying to pull West Indies to victory but unfortunately he got out I am talking about Shai hop. Who made a great century. He made 140 runs. West Indies still fighting well and they have made 368 runs and 4 wickets left. 163 runs remaining to win. I think West Indies should focus to keep their wickets safe if they want to win or draw the match.
And finally, the West Indies team surprised everyone by drawing the match, where we assumed that the West Indies team would lose to the New Zealand team after seeing the huge target of 531 runs, but the batting performance of two West Indies batsmen, Justin Greaves and Shai Hope, changed the result of the entire match.
Apart from them, no one else in the West Indies team could perform well in the batting, but even then we thought that the West Indies team would quickly lose all their wickets in the second innings like in the first innings and do as expected as the underdog team, but they managed to build resistance.
To be honest, the West Indies team did not perform very well in the first Test match, getting all out for just 167 runs. Because of this, most people thought that they would not be able to bat well against New Zealand in the second innings against the target of 531 runs. But the West Indies batsmen batted very responsibly in the second innings. The West Indies batsmen batted very responsibly from the beginning against the target of 531 runs given by New Zealand. The West Indies batsmen batted very responsibly and they were able to draw the Test match against New Zealand. Shai Hope and Justin Greaves are the two batsmen who helped the West Indies team draw the match against New Zealand. New Zealand is undoubtedly a stronger team than the West Indies. But the West Indies team was able to draw the Test match because of their responsible performance in the second innings.

In the northern part of Nigeria, where bandits are kidnaping people everyday I've never heard that they have demanded for cryptocurrency as ransom, not even for once, maybe because they are bunch of illiterates that are illegally armed with AK-47. The point that I'm making is that there are countless crimes that have been committed with fiat yet some group of people will intentionally or ignorantly be giving Bitcoin a bad name.

Criminals are looking for easy tools to perfect their crimes and they will use any means that suits their type of crimes. It could be through cryptocurrency, fiat, weapons or physical combat, all the things I mentioned have always been in existence before cryptocurrency. Maybe that is why much concentration is on crypto being the latest tool for criminal acts. Bitcoin haters should know that it has far more benefits than what criminals are using it for.

KYC may be mandatory in majority of the places. But in my opinion, where I live, it has lots of gray areas to consider. First of all, gambling is illegal at my place (but people still do gamble without any problems most of the time), so you see they ones that run here doesn't operate legally. Also many of them are straight forward, don't have to worry about license or even KYC, just register, deposit and play! That's how it's been here! That's what attracted the young mass to start gambling to these sites!
That's also true that there is thousands of casino sites are available on the online as well most of them don't have the license from the reputable license companies and as well they also didn't make that much push for KYC mandatory. And on that case if a child have phone that have no monitoring by their parent, then it's not unusual for those children to have access to gambling, because another big trend right now is that gambling sites heavily promote their games on social media. I'm actually worried about how these things will play out in the coming days.

Even a few years ago, things weren't like this! But now there is literally no control over what adults should see and what minors can see! Even if one doesn't gamble, they are bound to see these gambling ads eventually! Not to mention how big sports/movie figures are involved in these promotions, well teenagers can't help following their idols. What I really hate is the easy accessibility to these sites despite being illegal! And I'm not talking only about gambling! For example take po*n sites, they would just ask whether we are 18+ or not, there aren't any actual checks happening, you just click yes and you are able to access it! No need to bypass, use vpn proxy, hide your location or anything, just search it, visit the link, and have quick access.

As I am expecting Australia going on the same way, I was expecting that Australia would going to cross 420 run and currently they are far from only 42 runs from the 420, and here they have also 4 wickets in hand so I can also expect now the final score to be about the 450 run. And definitely that wouldn't going be easy  for the England team as well, most chances to stop again around 300, and then Australia will going to be easy win this match but here if the England batting line up could make resistance, then we can also see draw here.
That's what I exactly thinking about English side that Atleast they will try to draw things if failed to take dominance over Aussies as it will somehow safe thier team dignity at such big Ashes rivalry, it's true that currently Aussies were dominating and I taught they will struggle like English at thier innings, but surprisingly from top to bottom rest of player contribute enough to total score and while still having handosme number of wicket definitely indicate thier upper hand over situation, but let's wait for next day as it will somehow clear things.

The English are trying to get back into the game, especially with Steven Smith (61) and Cameron Green (45) dismissed in an over by Brydon Carse. So far, England are trailing by around 40 runs, but if they can get through the second day batting in the final session today, then Australia will definitely take a run lead. Alex Carey and Josh Inglis are batting, but even after that, all the batsmen that Australia has can bat fairly well, so this second Test definitely seems to go in Australia's favor.
Actually, the first Test match was also in favor of the Australian team. Basically, the Australian team is much stronger than the English team in terms of the Test format and as a result, it was seen that the English team could not bat very well in front of the Australian bowlers in the first match and was all out with a small score. However, even though they were able to cross 300 runs in this match, the Australian batsmen are going to cross their score very easily. I think the way the Australian team is progressing, they will cross 420 runs in this first innings, which will basically put them in extra favor for the second innings.
Yes, Australia has done that, so far Australia has a lead of 44 runs. Australia ended the first day of their first innings on 378 runs, which means if they can take a few more runs lead tomorrow for the next four wickets, that will be a bonus for the second innings. However, it seems that if England cannot bat in the second innings like they did in the first, the amount of lead Australia takes in their first innings will become dangerous for England. England's batting average was very poor, especially two to three batsmen who played well enough, which allowed England to score 334 runs. If England cannot score runs in the second innings like they did in the first innings, then England will definitely lose and there is no chance of a draw.

I mostly blame the system as well as the environment we grow up. A 13th year old teenager should not getting access to a gambling site in the first place! But because it's so easy to access these sites and as the regulatory failed to impose stricter rules, so more and more teenagers are becoming addict at the very early ages! This is really concerning and immediate action should be taken. Where I'm from, these days you'll see at least one youngster with gambling apps installed in their mobile, it has become a common sight here!
Apart from all those things, what interests me the most right now is how they get access even though KYC verification is mandatory in most of the casinos, or if their parents are at any level of carelessness, their children gamble without their knowledge, and still do KYC verification with their money or their ID card.
If these things continue, then currently only gambling apps have become common; but in the future, we will see addiction rates among children becoming common or something even more terrible.

KYC may be mandatory in majority of the places. But in my opinion, where I live, it has lots of gray areas to consider. First of all, gambling is illegal at my place (but people still do gamble without any problems most of the time), so you see they ones that run here doesn't operate legally.

Why do gambling addicts often believe they can “win back” losses despite statistical odds being against them? Is it because a weak mind or lack of will power that they have these doubts ?
Not only is the weak mind only also there is their greed.
I personally don't think that in the case of gambling, any statistical odds, any other strategy or skill work, but rather the results depend solely on luck. And that's why you'll see that most gamblers who use that type of strategy for loss recovery or loss chasing end up losing while gambling. In many cases, it is seen that addiction to gambling is another major reason. Because they couldn't accept the losses.
Why do you think that gambling strategy does not work there are so many testimonies of people using these strategies and making profits from it. Luck is what will make your strategy makes a lot of sense and without it, everything we might have been doing can become a waste of time. People are making money from gambling but the idea of trying to get everything that had been lost in gambling can become a problem for gamblers that don't understand what they will do that will be profitable for them. Luck is the major and what will make anybody to be profitable.
