$BTC Understanding $BTC Trading Pairs

When you see a pair like BTC/USDT or BTC/ETH, you’re looking at a trading pair — a way to exchange one crypto asset for another. In this case, $BTC (Bitcoin) is the base currency, and the second part of the pair (like USDT or ETH) is the quote currency. So, BTC/USDT = how much Tether it costs to buy 1 BTC. If it’s BTC/ETH, that tells you how many ETH you need to get 1 BTC. Understanding coin pairs is essential for trading — especially on crypto-to-crypto exchanges where you often need to trade into BTC before moving into smaller altcoins. BTC is one of the most liquid and widely traded assets, so many altcoin prices are indirectly tied to it. Watching BTC’s movement helps you anticipate market behavior, even if you're not directly trading it. Choose your pairs wisely — they impact fees, volatility, and strategy. #CoinPair101 #cryptotrading
