Living in Iran right now is not easy.
Every week the price of food, rent, and basics goes up.
Last month I bought rice for X, this month it's Y. Sound familiar?
I'm writing this from Tehran and this is what I actually tried to protect the little money I have.
I got tired of watching my savings lose value.
So I started learning about USDT.
USDT is a cryptocurrency that is always worth $1.
That means it doesn't go up and down like other coins.
I'm not an expert. I'm just a regular person trying to protect my money.
Here are the 3 ways I started saving in USDT that actually work:
**1. Convert Part of Your Salary to USDT Immediately**
This was the biggest change for me.
**Before:** I would get paid in Rial and keep it in my bank. 2 weeks later it was worth less.
**Now:** The same day I get paid, I convert 20% to 30% into USDT using P2P.
**Why?** Because $100 in USDT will still be $100 next month.
$100 in Rial... might not be.
**How I do it:** I use P2P trading on exchanges. You find someone selling USDT and pay them with bank transfer. It takes 10 minutes.
**Start small.** Even $10 is better than $0.
**2. Use USDT as a "Crypto Piggy Bank" from Side Income**
I take what I earn here, swap it to USDT, and save it.
$0.21 + $0.30 + $0.50 = it adds up.
It's like a piggy bank, but it doesn't lose value to inflation.
The key is consistency. 3 articles per week, 10 minutes of reading per day.
