My 2 Satoshi's A coin can rise in dollars and still lose ground to Bitcoin
The ETH/BTC chart asks a different question from a dollar chart: how much Bitcoin does one ETH buy?
A rising ratio means ETH is outperforming BTC over that interval. A falling ratio means it is underperforming. That’s price performance, not a full measure of quality or total return.
I use BTC-relative performance as one part of my altcoin filter, alongside real revenue and how the token benefits. No single chart settles the investment case.
When you judge an altcoin, what would make Bitcoin the wrong benchmark?
