I want to enter the market right now...i see btc on ATH and dont want to buy the top...now i asked myself which advantages it will have to buy ETH with fiat and then get in via ETH Markets...like ETH/SC...or is this just the same as buying BTC? Are the coins that i buy with ETH bounded to the ETH Market or can i easily sell for BTC...Its new to me and i never traded this before...only want to know if there is a difference...Thanks!!!
If you consider ETH to be a more stable crypto than Bitcoin right now, then yes that would be an advantage. But basically you need to understand if you buy an alt, you are shorting the pair. E.g. if you buy alt/btc then you are shorting Bitcoin. If you buy alt/eth, then you are shorting Ethereum. So if you THINK ETH is stable or will fall, go ahead. If you feel ETH will head up, then you should not trade on eth markets.
Another disadvantage is that 99% of alts are for sure traded on BTC pair. ETH is catching up but I believe is not even close to covering 50% of all available alts.
