Depends what do you want to do. For instance I, myself, look more often in satoshies price or how you would say BTC price. Because not all cryptocurrencies have pairs against USDT and most others have prices against BTC. What most people do is they buy alts during the bll run and when prices are falling they tend to park their earnings into USDT. Having in mind that USDT has company behind it and thus they seem that they don't have real peg according to some sources so it is just uncertain for me.

If it is easier for you then go with USDT dunno.

I agree with cryptorTUX. Many exchanges don't support trading all of altcoins with USDT, some exchanges has only BTC pairs. Also some people sure that USDT it's bubble and hasn't real money.
I think if you want to trade with short term you need to take profit in BTC, if you choose is long term then take profit in USD.

Sometimes I converted my bitcoin to USDT in order to protect my asset. I might agree with you but when bitcoin's value is up then you literally earn double profit one from your altcoin's profit and one from bitcoin's profit that's why I like trade btc pairs, if the price going down honestly i didn't worry at all since I believe the price would be back soon. well as people mentioned above not all the coins that you can trade to USDT only btc-pairs.

Many traders trade in a pair of BTC-USD. But I can not say it right or not. Each person does as he is more comfortable. Each person has his own strategy.

[cryptosifu]

Not all altcoin markets offer USDT so trading with BTC is always more convenient.  I always trade altcoins with BTC or Ethereums and if you want to play it safe then sell your BTC/ETH for fiat or USDT.

How did you reach these conclusions that trading on BTC is not profitable? In respect to your post and comment i believe that the idea is dissociated and consequently Bitcoin is always up and down, so when buying an altcoin with Bitcoin in high the future tendency is to get more USD and finally, USD does not have a great appreciation in relation to Bitcoin. In short, no doubt BTC is better that USD in relation to the theme discussed.

Most of the tokens and some of altcoins aren't paired to usd and the only option left is btc and eth. It can be more profitable than trading to usd when the market is in bullish.

I think that altcoins should be traded in pairs with bitcoin, since most coins are traded in pairs with bitcoin and not USDT, and later the bitcoin itself needs to be traded to USDT

[hack4love]

i right or wrong all coins prices  related to each other i mean the market if btc up all coins up and if btc down all coin go down

so  what the point of trading  btc to altcoins 

and at the end i new if i say something you feel it is  stupid  plz advise me and correct my information

[rickn]

It is difficult to nail a winning strategy, in fact USD, USDT, ETH and BTC pairs can be profitable or bring losses. ]
Regardless of the pair chosen, what matters most is the trend of the traded crypto and the market itself

I think that there is no difference. Trade what is more convenient for you and which you measure profit. For example, I trade in bitcoin, because I buy coins for bitcoin, and I count the profit or loss in bitcoin.

It is just investor's choice from which market they will enter and exit. My choice is BTC market and I always sale my altcoins for BTC and I never used USDT.
The reason is, I usually don't cash out much for my daily expenses. What I'm doing is saving maximum of my earnings for future, when BTC will be unbelievably expensive and peoples cannot afford. 

[crypmike]

BTC for sure
Because BTC is getting more expensive relatively to USD every year, and if you will trade with USD one day you may find that your USD balance became bigger, BUT your BTC balance became lower and you finally lost a lot of potential money.
I think your purpose to get as much as you can)

Trade USD will be much better compared with bitcoin consider it's stable value and bitcoin has a lot of volatility. But remember USDT is having a controversion due to some parties are accusing the tether company because they were seeing the company looks like manipulated the tether supply. And not so many exchange sites are accepting USDT. I go to the bitcoin

[felixesteban]

In the long run BTC will be more profitable if the same pattern repeats itself. BTC is more expensive compared to the last year. At the end of the day It will give huge profit when the market is in bullish.

If you want to trade altcoin, you need to study the market well before making decision of which to use, like you said if the price of BTC goes down, it will be a lost but if it goes up, you will profit.

that's other demend
you trade with BTC this mean you try the best to increase your btc amount you have
trade with usdt mean you try to have the best value of your assets based on USD
if you believe in BTC then even it go down you still can have make more in total amount of BTC to wait it increase price in future. at this time your usdt will only can buy a little amount of btc

It depends on what you intend to achieve. Some people trade altcoin to get more fiat while some trade altcoin to get more bitcoin. Bitcoin might not be stable put it is the best when you have the intention of having more btc.
