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?
altcoins fluctuate more than bitcoin and ethereum. being in low market caps, altcoin prices can be manipulated easier, thus fluctuates more. this presents advantages for traders as they can use this to earn more. greater risk = greater reward.
