I'd recommend you hedge with the Bitshares MPA (market pegged asset) Hero.

It's basically like putting your money into a savings account that earns 5% a year.

You could also choose to use bitUSD but it's inflationary and the HERO is a much better long term hold.

I would stay away from tether too, I don't trust it at all.

Great conversation to have though, I'm definitely interested in hearing what others are planning to do. Thanks for the great post!
