Have a question about trading /buying altcoins and also cashing out on alts. From what I can tell you can only get alts by buying eth ltc or btc first but when you're trying to cash out do you have to trade your alts for these big coins and then cash out? What if eth and btc are down? does that affect the total amount of money you cash out? Help a brainlet with a hundo dollars in crypto who just started in the last few weeks
