I agree that bitcoin is the best because of being the first and successful. It is still the most expensive coin which is also for the fact of it being the best. However, if we talk about technical characteristics, I think bitcoin has problems (increasing fees, hard fork threat, hard smart contracts) which are solved partially by other coins like Ethereum, Dogecoin and Byteball.

If you still have 15 btc then it is totally not that bad yet. Especially if losing 10btc will be a good lesson for you that gambling brings losses and losses only. You better invest, say, 1btc in different altcoins. Thus you will get a chance to return the lost money at least partially. And as you now know gamling brings losses, you may also invest in some good casino and be one of those who gets the money you lost before. Good luck and stop saying there's no sense in life. Gosh, most of people in the world never have such big amounts of money as you have now.

The price is indeed growing slowly and so I guess $1300 something real to be seen in half a month but till 1500 we'll have to wait more than till the end of the year. I don't think demand of bitcoin is that high already. I still think it's amazing we have bitcoin worth more than $1k for such a long time. So, I guess we'll see bitcoin going down in a few month and then slowly up again.

Well, I agree that litecoin and ethereum are good coins, of course. And I would also add byteball here. However, the way you speak of them as that there will be some good change and they'll explode in price.. I think this is rather something related to short-term investment.
Oh, and xrp... Do you really think it is a nice coin? I mean, it became popular only because of that recent crazy pump.. I'd say this is rather an example of a short-term investment coin.

I think that you are right but the recent serious drop of the price was due to the threat of hard fork. And so many people were in panic and started selling fast.
Now we can see that hard fork is not there and so the price is growing again. Jee, it's $1200 already. I hope bitcoin will be able to stabilize having this great price for now. And no dropping is likely to occur in the nearest future.

I think it is wrong to consider something which works as money separate from the financial system. Bitcoin in particular and cryptocurrencies in general change the views on payment and the role of the state. Money used to be state's prerogative for a long time. The government controls the sums, the price and authenticity. Now we understand that the amount can be controlled from within by the code, the price of be regulated purely by demand and supply and authenticity is confirmed intersubjectively. I think it has positive impact, because stimulates the officials to develop something new and attractive instead of fiat we have nowadays.

Hm, till now I thought vDice is actually using and letting others to use ethereum and ethereum only. You are talking about the VSL coin getting higher in price right? As I now start reading about it, it is called a Meta-token on Ethereum. So, I guess it is analogical somehow to btc and ltc but vsl is somehow the main and something above ethereum... But I haven't really found any good info on what meta-token actually is..
And so it's hard to say why the price has risen without knowing what vsl really is.
Can someone help on that?

Well, surely we can't say there is a winning strategy if we consider the won and lost money and compare the sums. Howeverm if we get some money for free and suppose that losing it doesn't count (I'm talking about faucets now) then we can say that getting a faucet and putting this money on 50/50, then if we win, put everything on autobetting on something with a really low probability to win. And then do it again and again. But I don't think it will really bring you money, because the sums are very small from the beginning.

Ripple is an old coin with very slow changes in price. At the end of March the price started going up and in the first days of April it was crazily going up. I think the price is just pumped in this case. It is now $0.03 and if it is stably pumped for another month then maybe the price will become $1 for a small time but I don't think this will happen. Good for xrp if it manages to stay at current price.

Buying a thousand of each alt will cost the hell lot of money and would be almost impossible, because you have to create wallets for every bloody coin.
Of course this idea is bad, because most of the coins are likely to die and so you are likely to lose more than win. I think it is better to invest a bit in some good coins (in about 3 of them) and buy/sell other coins which suddenly get pumped. This seems to be a better way of becoming rich or of at least not losing a lot.

Yes, I also trust litecoin for now. But I would also be willing to go for ethereum as second best after bitcoin.
Nevertheless, my choice will depend more on the pay rates. In case there will appear nice signature campaigns paying not in ethereum or litecoin but still in some stable coin easy to sell, I'll choose that one, because cryptos are mostly the way of earning for me now.

Why round two? If the price is really pumped then it is still the beginning of round one, I believe. The price is still growing but a bit slower than it used to grow. I believe litecoin can stabilize around $10 for now and not become worth less. It is really worth a lot more than it costs. This coin is in top 5 famous cryptos without doubt, so it actually should be around $40 for now.

Exactly. And popularity is a very prolematic thing. Creating a site will cost one around $1k if one is not a programmer himself. Then the site needs to have some amount of money to be able to pay users. I guess it is also around $1k minimum and in the case there is a max bet amount. And the third thing is promotion. Perhaps a sig campaign for again around $1k will be enough.
But it's all very risky, because huge money is needed and there are already many good and trusted casinos.

Perhaps not that fast since now it is going down and it seems those who said the price was pumped were right but I still think that's a good coin and 0.1 btc is only a matter of time now. Yes, companies support and slightly regulate it, but in general the coin is quite self-sufficient and strong even if $50 is not the real price for now. Just remember bitcoin when it reached $1k a few years ago. And were people saying it's a 'pump and dump' then? I don't think so. And thus they are being unfair now.

I also think it has future potential, very big one. The only problem is that it offers so many opportunities that there are potential big security problems. But if everything goes fine, I think ethereum should be considered as a long-term investment. I'm not selling it unless it drops to $20 or so which I don't think will happen.
OP, wait till the price goes down a bit and buy!

But the thing is that on-chain transactions are public, so people may see that everything is going well. Plus it helps the ethereum itself, I guess, because shows the platform possibilities. Off-chain transaction needs to be based on trust (if I got the idea right) which is not a good thing in anonymous world. As I'm reading more about off-chain now, I tend to think that I don't really understand what it means. Could you perhaps explain in simple words?

I would say that if you invest in a good successful casino, you'll need to wait for more than a year to get hte money back and start earning. And who knows what happens to a casino which is nice now in a year? Altcoin investment is different. If you are lucky and a bit skilled, you can invest the money and earn from that moment. And in case the alt's price is just staying where it was - you sort of already have your money returned, because you can sell the alt anytime.
In casinos I guess it's better to invest in altcoins' bankrolls, because thus you may start earning faster + may win because of the alt going up.

Nobody can. Some think litecoin is a half-dead currency and just a clone of btc. Others think it is one of the best and will show how good it is when btc will become too expensive. I believe ltc is rather an investment for a long time and I'm thinking about buying some now since it's growing in price very FAST. And yet $10 is not that much, so it's a nice chance to buy some.
But again, creating a wallet, finding a nice website to do the thing.. I guess I'll never be a trader because mostly this is what stops me.

I think you are wrong a bit. Trading is not only the matter of luck but of skills as well. Yes, there are no guarantees. But there are some probabilities. For example, there is a very low probability that bitcoin will reach 2000$ tomorrow or fall to $700. And, similarly, if you see some coin was quite stable and than started growing+ there are people who believe it's good (on this forum) + the currency is at least a few months old - it is very likely to grow in price at least a bit more in the following days, so you can buy right now and wait for good time to sell it. Or you can just predict that the price will still be growing and will most likely reach some point in a couple of days.

Well, as we all know, Switzerland is also quite friendly to bitcoin but I don't think it helps much. What matters is many btc casinos with huge bankrolls, trading sites and miners doing their job. And yet we can't say that the price is 'going to the moon'. I think nice and slow growth is totally fine and it is great bitcoin hasn't faced the hark fork.
