Re: Question for regular casino players. Will you use Lightning if available?

A question for those people who suggested to use XRP, or TRX, or other altcoins instead of Bitcoin. If there was an easy and good UI/UX solution built to send and receive Bitcoin through the Lightning Network, would you choose that instead of the altcoin? Did you actually buy the altcoin because it's simply faster?

There are probably only two reasons I can think of why someone would prefer using altcoins over the lightning network to deposit/withdraw to/from a casino or any other crypto service. The first reason is that he never used the lightning network before and doesn't realise how easy it is to make a payment with it especially with the advancement of the wallet softwares supporting it.

The second reason is that he has all his coins stored on centralized exchanges where the fees to withdraw altcoins are way cheaper than the fees to withdraw bitcoin.

I believe there's one reason that holds more truth than your two reasons. It's plebs like us actually LOVE to invest/trade/speculate in altcoins/shitcoins, and every bull cycle brings newbies, looking for "the next Bitcoin". I was one of those plebs who day-traded, lost his savings/learned the HARD WAY. But it's partly because of the lack of education about Bitcoin and what it sets it above the shitcoins, and partly human nature of curiousity.

I agree with you that a large number of new players begin their acquaintance with crypto-casinos using different altcoins. First of all, because bitcoin is too expensive for them and the commissions in the main network are also quite large. And these players just don't know about the Lightning Network. And even if they know, they consider it difficult as soon as they hear the word "channel". Therefore, they use TRON, XRP and other coins. If they had dealt with LN from the very beginning, then its use in the crypto-casino industry would have been much greater.
But, unfortunately, this is not the case yet. Sad
