Bitcoin seems to fluctuate less than ETH. I personally use ETH for trading ALTS, lower fees and faster transactions.

I would go for eth, Eth has lower tx fees and is way faster than bitcoin at the moment. But with the lightning network in the test pace we should wait and see.

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?


Actually, bitcoin price/value is fixed, just up-down only price. But ETH price and value ups and down.
You can trade via bitcoin, it will be good. I like trade with bitcoin. If you get profit via satoshi it is best, but ETH trade is depend on up-down.

You can buy your coins in both but some exchanges support only bitcoin as base currency for trading and some allow many altcoins also for trading. ERC20 tokens allow only ethereum for buying and selling.

i think buying altcoins with BTC or ETH is both profitable, using BTC to buy altcoins is a very effective way, bitcoin is very fluctuative, we can buy a lot of altcoins of the rate between Alt/btc drops rapidly, and also sell for btc if the rate rises rapidly in short time, we can earn more than ETH because ETH rises very slow and more stable than btc.

Tokens are cheap on BTC market and other coins are cheap at eth market.
you need to check all exchanges before buying alts. Sometimes there are really nice price differences.

Buying with ethereum is the good choice in my opinion because ethereum is one of the stable coin so investing it into the alts may give profits over time then we can convert them into ethereum again.But bitcoin price swing is lot so it may dump or bump too much on the investment time so you may lose profits in terms of USD.

my suggestion you buy BTC first. it is currently BTC the price is slightly expensive, but the price is more stable than with some other coins. with you trying to buy Bitcoin, chances are you get more profit.

I believe that you are doing the right thing, keep bitcoin and ETH, and the prices for altcoins, as we see, depend on bitcoina. But if you have such an opportunity, you can invest in some of the altcoins, so you minimize the risks.

In my opinion, it is necessary to leave some fate in the top coins, but also to look for good alternatives that have the potential for growth.

It does not really matter what we will use to buy whether bitcoin or ethereum, because when we buy  we are thinking that those altcoins we have choose to buy will give us more profit than investing in bitcoin or ethereum.

i suggest you to buy these both, bitcoin and ethereum, because these are both profitable among those other alts in the markets, make more prioritize bitcoin and hold it until it will skyrocket soon, then use ethereum to buy alts for more less fee per single transactions, fluctuating cannot stop, so why you dont choose another way to earn in terms of day trading using ethereum, it is much better now to do.

Then you must prioritized the bitcoin. We know that the bitcoin is the most trusted and safest among the all cryptocurrency for the investment because we know that is the leading in the market.but it is your choice even i suggest or recommend my opinion if you can't follow my suggestion there's nothing do with my suggestion.

I will trade with Bitcoin then, but I guess a follow up question would be, if I buy right now since it is down, do I then trade for alts or wait again for the BTC price to rise since it will be worth more on each trade? Or is that flawed logic?
Most of the market right now is down but altcoins have a tendency to move a lot more than bitcoin so it could be a good idea to buy bitcoin and then use that bitcoin to buy altcoins and wait for the recovery of the market, if the altcoins you select are any good then the growth of those altcoins will be greater than the growth of bitcoin and finally you will be able to sell those coins and get more bitcoin in return.

If you are going to buy ERC20 tokens during their ICO stage, you may need to buy some eth first, because most of them only accept eth as payment during that stage. However, if the altcoins that you are going to buy already exists in the exchange market, btc is always the best choice because buying altcoins with btc is usually cheaper than buying with eth.

In such scenario, you need to understand the market trend and sentiments. Over the near future, if you see ETH is going to have a better rally then BTC, then its better to keep ETH as in your portfolio and invest in ALTs using BTC, on the other hand, during BTC bull run, there is no sense of risking your BTC in ALTs, rather than diversify your ETH into ALTs to earn more BTC. Always, DYOR before making investments.
