Thanks Aussiesloth - what I am struggling with is - " is my currency gaining value " - if its losing against BTC then how can it be uo in $ ??
Why then on most exchanges can you not buy Altcoins paired with USD
Thats what I am not understanding ?? Say I want to buy Electroneum as an example - I am trying to buy it because I believe its a good project etc etc - I am not interested in BTC or how BTC will do compared to Electroneum but as it stands if Electroneum started gaining traction etc I would still lose money if BTC gained more traction
Apologies again but what am I not understanding ??
If I buy ETC at $800 and it goes to $900 then I am $100 in profit - nothing to do with BTC
