There’s still some USDT lying unused in my account. I thought, well, it’s a stablecoin, better to leave it there than to trade frequently. But after just over a month, the loss in purchasing power is enough to make you question your life—a few months’ salary just gone like that.

What’s the most ironic part? Even if you don’t play, you still have to pay tuition. When the market goes down, the coins you hold drop in value; when things start to warm up and you want to get in, you realize your USDT’s purchasing power has already been diluted again. Either way, you’re losing money. That’s the real picture of the crypto market.

Sometimes I really feel this space is too unfriendly to ordinary people. You think holding stablecoins means you’re safe? No way—inflation, exchange rates, market sentiment… every variable is quietly taking a cut from you.
