I've realised that for new entry to crypto as of now ($7000/btc), it doesn't make any sense to purchase altcoin with the current BTC exchange rate.
Chances are, when BTC has a pull back; altcoin will increase in value.
But the capital appreciation from altcoin will knock off by the decreased value in BTC when we cash out to fiat currency.
SOOOOOOOO, the big question is...can I purchase altcoin with ETH?
Bitcoin value is $ 7,400 LOL, but the exchange of altcoin with ETH is a daily occurrence. This is where you can buy all the altcoin you want with ETH instead of BTC:
