I don't agree, I think USDC is better and is probably only going to get better in the next 4 years.
I don't like Tether's approach with their blacklist function, they relay on hundreds of "trusted" people in the crypto space who will just report some activity based on chain-analysis (which doesn't work by the way) and freeze your funds.
Don't get me wrong, both are absolute dog poo¤%&& but if I had to hold one for 1 year or more, it would be USDC.
