It is amazingly confusing for me to understand whether to buy ETH or BTC to trade for ALTS. I plan on holding a good % of BTC and ETH in my portfolio, but when it comes to these fluctuating BTC and ETH prices, I'm never sure whether to buy one first to trade for ALT coins.
Any suggestions?
I would prefer that you bought the altcoins with your eth and keep your btc safe. I have found it a better experience using my ethereum to buy altcoins and late if I want more eth then I just convert some btc to eth. The reason for this is that btc is more valuable than eth and if anything happens and the market ends up bulling, trust me, you are going to want to have some bitcoin.
