user60172: Please explain to me why the ETH/BTC price is decreasing but ETH/USD price is increasing. How does that work? Why it costs less in bitcoins but more in USD? 


user60591: It means that the value of btc is increasing at a higher rate than the value of eth.  Therefore it takes less btc to buy eth, and the cost of eth in btc is dropping.
