Trading pairs can feel like a trap when you're new. At first, BTC/USDT makes sense — you’re just buying Bitcoin with dollars, right? Easy. But then you open a chart like ETH/BTC and suddenly it’s like solving a riddle. Wait… am I buying ETH or selling BTC? Why is my profit in Bitcoin now? The deeper you go, the more confusing it gets. Base currency, quote currency — it all sounds like something out of a finance textbook. And just when you think you've figured it out, someone throws in a pair like SOL/BNB and now you're wondering what universe you’ve entered. If you've ever placed a trade and realized later you didn’t even know what you were actually buying — congrats, you’re officially a trader. We've all been there, and honestly, it's part of the journey. The confusion fades, but the grind never stops. Welcome to crypto.#TradingPairs101
