    Is there any benefit to buying a coin on a btc pair as opposed to an eth pair or visa versa? I started with a btc because thats all the wallet offered, but have since started trading the alts and remaining on the btc pair instead of buying any eth. Any insight into whether this is good/bad/indifferent?
    Also how does the pairing work with fluctuations of the primary pair? ie if bitcoin drops, does the altcoin pair drop too? If this is the case i would assume that making the switch to the eth/bnb base in times of btc drops could affect the outcome. BTC seems to be in an extending downtrend, so wondering if it's wise to switch primary pairs now to something like BNB which is going up.

    I've been in and out of a few coins already in the few days i've been trading, made approx 40% so far which im extremely happy with because i still dont fully understand it.
