strange how so many "newbies" have been pushing ETH over the past 24/48 hrs.
almost as if a Ukrainian born Canadian has dumped alt coins, tweeted against BTC, bought / pushed ETH and sent his minions here to post.

NO! BTC is on its way down to $1250, then buy.

It cannot be regulated or easily banned.
50 percent of the world's population is restricted from accessing online gambling.
Massive potential market.
In countries like the UK, where gambling is permitted, it is highly regulated & taxed, the bookmakers spend a fortune on compliance and pay more tax than they make in profit - so often the odds are rubbish, the banned you if you make too make money & on high risk markets they limit how much you can bet.

Which coins are most used to actually buy stuff (services, things etc.) as opposed to speculation & as a means to purchase other coins or tokens? (as money / a cash alternative, I guess)

UnityIgnot is definitely a scam. Not customer service, no access to slack, nothing on social media and the first milestone has passed without an update. Beware!

Satoshi does not care about wealth. Satoshi is happy with his legacy - the rise of decentralisation. If BTC becomes a cesspit of greed dominated by investment banks, Satoshi will dump 1 million coins and end this madness.

That's the issue, the success of BAT depends on the popularity of the browser. Making a new browser popular is not easy.

Money per se is based on a belief system since the gold standard was abolished. Fiat money, a piece paper, is not worth $100 in terms of its material value.
A cryptocurrency has value if people believe it does. Bitcoin has value because a growing number of retailers accept it as payment. There are, however, a number of well documented technical limitations with BTC, which must be overcome if its usage to become mainstream. A number of ALT coins have the potential to supersede BTC, although it will be hard to dethrone.
I agree that 99.9% of coins will fail and become worthless. The total market cap of the coins is ridiculous, given the usage of the coins as currency, it is purely speculation.
Investing in the potential of a blockchain technology, as opposed to a currency, is a different kettle of fish. Many people confuse the two.
In my opinion, the bubble is still a long way from popping. Mainstream investment funds like Hardgreaves Landsdown are only starting to launch BTC investment funds. As BTC continues to grow, ALT coins will too. There are likely to be a few wobbles along the way. When the bubble eventually pops it will have implications way beyond the cryptocurrency world.
I expect total market cap of $90 - $110 billion by 2019/20, then collapse to $10 billion or less. The emperor has no clothes my friends.
