BTC trading pair or USDT trading pair?

[sharos]

Which trading pair you want to choose. Suppose you want to trade a common coins which is listed in both pair. Then which pair you will choose?


If i compare in binance BTC/ETH and USDT/ETH markets, Then i can see volume is BTC market almost 241,924 ETH.



In USDT market almost 803,810 ETH.

I will prefer to use USDT rather than bitcoin as a pair because i wanna get stability on my trade. I don't need feel worry my profit to be affected caused by the volatility that happaned with bitcoin.
Bitcoin's price can change in any seconds, that brings more possibility for my profit to be affected by the bitcoin's volatility.
It's also easy for me to determine which price that i should use it to enter the market.

In fact, both pair are my favorite. At one time almost all coins or tokens had BTC pair. Now many tokens do not have BTC pair but USDT pair.  The USDT pair is becoming very popular day by day.
If my coin has both pair then I will first see in which pair my coins will have more value. If the value is equal then I will choose USDT pair.  Because calculation is easy in USDT pair and transaction fee is low.

Whatever pair you choose all are ok without stablecoin, we know coinmarketcap is raising where altcoins are following Bitcoin run. USDT pair will help you to freeze money or stop losses function which can't help you in the ETH/BTC pair. I would prefer to you ETH/BTC pair because coinmarketcap bubbles diameter is increasing every month.

I wouldn't consider USDT to ETH unless I am ensured that profits are surely gonna arrive my way. Even though BTC -> ETH is quite full of risk unlike the other one, BTC never failed to somehow give profits regardless of its volatility.
It is still doing its usual nature.
It is still going both side of the walls and trends.

In general, the BTC & USDT pair, are widely used by investors and trading or investing, it depends on the region they live in, they both have their own advantages, in the field of trading, the theory says: if market conditions improve again many use USDT trading purposes to buy BTC, what most people know is Bitcoin is crypto and Tether is a stablecoin.

Basically significantly, if BTC goes up the USDT also follows, so the two are closely related, it is for this reason that most people often use both and the trading, investing, investors will stop trading if a bear market appears.
Bottom line: both are used.

I think it'll totally be depending on what my intention are for trading that day, obviously it'll be to make profit but assuming I'm hoping to get more bitcoin or more fiat. Well the bitcoin market is very bullish unlike altcouns that are showing signs of weakness mostly because all attention are on bitcoin at the moment.

With this reasons I think I'll want to hold more bitcoin as it stand a chance of getting double profit. First for trading and securing profit in bitcoin next for bitcoin potential raise in price

I remember there was time that eth/btc was my favorite pair for day trading but nowadays i am more into btc/usdt and eth/usdt due to easy calculations and sense of bigger profits, i guess.

[tycsols]

As you can see from the stats of your post, eth/usdt pair has much bigger volume than of eth/btc pair which is really a huge achievement for usdt. This also clearly indicates that traders and overall market now prefer usdt pair more than the evergreen eth/btc pair. I think when bull run will be here the usdt pair will boom even more.

As an active trader we go for more volume which is clearly more for usdt pairs.
Secondly it is easier to keep track of profit and loss because usdt gives equivalent to fiat value.
It is also easier to buy sell and exchange usdt both online and face to face offline because of stable value. Due to all these advantages usdt pair is much more prefered nowadays than the btc pairs.

This is a good question but however comes with varying answers because everyone have his own preference and reason for choosing any pair. Some people will go for BTC pair because BTC is the best coin and hence there is every opportunity that their profits from the trade will appreciate, at the same time it can also depreciate thus the reason why most people prefers USDT pair since the profit will be stable. As for me, I can use both, that is, BTC or ETH pair when the market is in a good shape, so that I can get any potential gain and USDT pair when the market is dumping so that my profit won't be affected.

[Marina5]

I think Usdt pair is the best because the price of usdt is stable but on the other hand, the price of usdt is not stable. Usdt pair is much more risk less than Bitcoin pair.

[Em00n01]

I will choose Usdt instead of BTC. Sometimes, BTC goes up or down like crazy! This may affect my portfolio. So Usdt pair is the best as i don't want to take risk.

USDT pair is better. Crypto is very volatile and trading stable coin against crypto will bring stability and reduces the chance of losing your profit to market volatility. When you decide to trade BTC/ETH and you take profit in ETH, sudden fall in the price of ETH will reduce your profit earn but USDT price is very stable and volatility is minimized

[makishart]

If you are taking the USDT as the pair to trade on altcoins and then it will be much more better to be used when bitcoin has been facing a bearish trend. Remember about this altcoins will go down even faster when bitcoin faced a bullish trend. That means there's a chance for you to lose even your capital in bitcoin term but when you are using stable coin even the big bearish trend happened and you will be fine. If you are looking for a safest way to trade and USDT is the best pair but when you are looking for the volatility from both and bitcoin is the answer. Bitcoin was not so stable as stable coin.

The ETH/BTC are nice pair and good when paired individually with other coins like USDT. But USDT is more of stable with easy and monitoring move than btc pairs. The pair plays roles like fiat.

[fadhilz123]

I will choose USDT pair rather than Bitcoin pair, the reason is simple because stable and I want to enjoy my profits. Previously I thought bitcoin was better because we can earn double profits, profits from our selling and profits from bitcoin if the price goes up. But not all time bitcoin goes up sometimes goes down and I feel my earning is gone. So for me, USDT pair is better

[samcrypto]

I trade mostly on BTC pair since not all altcoins are paired with USDT and sometimes trade using my BNB. Whatever pairs you choose the risk will still depend on how you trade, USDT might be more stable but if you do careless trading, that’s useless. Trading is risky remember that, always create the winning strategies and choose the pair base on what is more convenient to you.

[Rengga Jati]

If there are both available in trading pairs, well, actually I can choose both, depending o some conditions at that time when I want to put my order.
- Trading volume
- rate of the price at that time
- Market condition, whether it is the uptrend of BTC or not.

BTC may be probably more promising if the price of BTC is up, but if it is very unstable and we need fast money, I will refer to USD because it is more stable.

[pakhitheboss]

Well it depends

I will use USDT to validate the fiat value when I am selling and buying crypto. I would use other crypto pairs only for inter crypto trading purposes. I will avoid BTC pair as much as I can as Bitcoin is volatile and it would be hard to trade.
