✅ What is a BTC Pair?
A BTC pair looks like this:
ETH/BTC, NEAR/BTC, DOGE/BTC, etc.
You buy or sell altcoins using Bitcoin instead of a fiat currency (like USD or BDT).
Example: If you trade ETH/BTC, you're exchanging Ethereum for Bitcoin, or vice versa.

🧠 Example:
Imagine:
You have 1 BTC → You can buy 20 ETH
If ETH rises faster than BTC, ETH/BTC may become 0.07
Now, if you convert back to BTC:
20 ETH × 0.07 = 1.4 BTC ✅ (You gained BTC!)

📉 Risks:
Altcoin may fall in value even if BTC goes up
