$BTC Ah, the BTC pair — the crypto world’s equivalent of lifting weights with no spotter. You think you’re doing great… until Bitcoin sneezes and your whole portfolio catches the flu. One moment you’re up 40% on some altcoin, the next you’re down bad because BTC decided to take a nap. Trading against BTC is like dating someone way out of your league — unpredictable, emotionally exhausting, and somehow still addicting. You celebrate gains that aren’t even in dollars. “Up 20%… in BTC!” Cool, but rent’s still in fiat, champ. But hey, if you can survive trading alt/BTC pairs, you can survive anything. Volatility? That’s just cardio. Liquidation? A rite of passage. Remember, we don’t measure in USD anymore — we measure in sats and trauma. Trade safe, hydrate, and don’t forget to hug your stop-loss. BTC is king… and sometimes, a tyrant.
