Keep a little ETH in the sending wallet for gas. Your USDT counts after twelve Ethereum confirmations, and the bitcoin goes out in the next Bitcoin block.

USDT: USDT on Ethereum is public, and Tether can freeze USDT at an address.
BTC: Every Bitcoin payment is public: the amount and both addresses stay on the ledger for anyone to read.
Both ledgers are public. What you lose on the way is Tether's power to freeze: bitcoin has no issuer.

| This desk | None | You, until you send | You want dollars turned into a coin with no issuer |
| From Tron instead | None | You | Your USDT is already on Tron |
| An exchange account | ID first | The exchange | You trade there anyway |
| Buying bitcoin from a person | None from a person | Escrow, on a venue that has it | You'd pay a person how P2P escrow works |
Every rule, stop by stop: how an order runs.
