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?

You HAVE to buy either Eth, LTC or BTC to buy alts, mostly Eth and BTC though. Right now BTC is down ALOT it could be a good idea to buy some

BCT is the king of digital cryptographic currencies, especially when markets are volatile.

BTC is the wisest choice, hold some BTC and wait for the market to warm up!

If you are avoiding the Bitcoin and Ethereum markets because of their fluctuating or even dumping prices and shifted to altcoins then you are definitely like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The altcoins are also suffering right now. It is not just the top ones such as Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash but also the rest of the altcoins that are decreasing in value. If I were you, I better be joining the Bitcoin and Ethereum markets right now while the prices are very affordable, because by the time the market will turn back, Bitcoin and Ethereum will be the first to lead the bullish run.

I absolutely agree and understand, but what I'm asking is if I want to diversify my portfolio a little bit while still holding onto a large percentage of BTC and ETH, how should I go about purchasing/trading for ALTS. I would like to buy and hold a few that I've researched, but what confuses me is whether I buy BTC and then trade with Alts or ETC and trade with Alts. The conversion confuses me and/or if I should trade them when BTC and ETC are High or Low.

The buying to all coin of invested in Eth or btc a good coin from buying and selling to online market process.the digital currency trading to investment on eth.Assuming you are making transaction to buy ETH immediately, the difference is negligible. However, I wanted to test this myself with current market prices to see the actual level.the general recommandation for large sums must be tho buy first BTC with your dollars and then ETH with BTC on buying. you will buy over or under the market price, so it could be both a good thing invested coin to eth to btc system.liquid for Eth used conversion, but using use to buy btc and then btc Eth conversion add another round of trading discussion on business.

I see more prospects in the ethereum. It is constantly evolving. As long as the ICO is on the ethereum platform, it will be in demand. The transition to POS in the near future will also have a positive impact on the growth of the ethereum.In general, the ethereum seems to me more stable and reliable.

Yes, it is a good suggestion, but I suggest you hold more BTC, because as the ICO market cooled, so for the demand of the ETH become less, ETH price will fall, so buy BTC is a good choice.

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?

I believe bitcoin fluctuates less than Eth, so if you're just looking for a coin to trade with alts, it should be BTC. But, I guess you could take a chance with Eth too.

However I find that when Eth fluctuates wildly, the alt eth prices fluctuate wildly too. So there's really no benefit in trying to game the system thinking you can get a better eth price just because you're buying/selling in eth.

So do you think other coins do not fluctuate? You should know that the whole crypto has a high fluctuation potential. I think your choice is correct to buy alt with btc or eth, because the best pair in trade is btc or eth.

BTC should be the first priority. Bitcoin is the safest cryptocurrency for investment because it has the biggest market cap among all of the cryptocurrencies that exist.
