hmm.. how do you trade to usd if most alts are are on btc? is there something im missing?

usd or usdt. If not available, trade to btc and translate to usd. It normalizes.

Gotcha.. Thank you!
im in verge a decent amount and i was trying to study the charts and got lost with usd and btc comparison on pricing.

Just to make sure I understand fully, When you say you trade to USD, you're saying once a trade is done on for example Bitshares, you convert the btc to USD right away right? Because bitshares is only paired with BTC... that I know of.

Thanks again, sorry for the redundancy

I can sell BTS for bitUSD which has 200% collateral. It's similar to USDT but better. This would be on Bitshares exchange.

On poloniex, yes, paired only to BTC.

I checked the volume of bitUSD/BTS pair on Bitshares decentralised exchange and this place is dead. Is there any other place you can convert BTS to bitUSD?
