What are Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrencies are virtual currencies that can be used for various transactions as a form of payment. Bitcoin is the best-known of the many currencies available, however there are a wide range of crypto assets used as a medium of exchange in today's society. Trading in cryptocurrency means that no third party needs to be involved in the transaction, offering secure and fee-free trading opportunities.

Bitcoin and other digital coins are tied to Blockchain technology and offer anonymity to those who use them. When you buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, you need to store them securely in a digital wallet, and you can then use them for a range of purposes much like traditional currencies - from buying goods and services online to placing bets at an online casino.

Each cryptocurrency has a unique value, which changes regularly and often without notice. As a result, most cryptocurrency users keep multiple currencies in their wallets and keep an eye on the markets. Helpfully, you can use up to 21 cryptocurrencies at Stake.com, putting you in total control of how you manage your available coins.

What Crypto is Offered at Stake.com?

Stake.com is the world’s leading cryptocurrency casino and sportsbook, supporting 19 cryptocurrencies from Bitcoin (BTC) to Polygon (MATIC). Discover the complete list of supported crypto at Stake.com and read on to dive deeper into each one.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Even those with no knowledge of cryptocurrencies and their respective values would know about Bitcoin. The world’s most recognisable crypto has had its fair share of ups and downs over the years, but it has stagnated and is much easier to track .

Most players on Stake use Bitcoin as their primary currency and it appears at the top of the drop down menu on the site. Bitcoin is usually associated with a predominantly orange and sometimes slightly yellow colour.

Substantial drops or increases aren’t as common but if you’re considering Bitcoin, it’s something you need to look into as the number can fluctuate depending on the market.

Ethereum (ETH)

Easily the second most recognisable crypto on Stake is Ethereum. Ethereum (often shortened to Ether or just ETH) is universally considered a good investment by experts around the globe due to its potential to be worth much more in the future.

Ethereum is also considered a very safe and secure investment as well, meaning that if you’d like to use Ethereum, you can do so with confidence. Ether appears second from the top on Stake’s crypto drop down menu.

Ethereum is commonly associated with a dark blue colour and is projected to only grow in value in the future.

Litecoin (LTC)

Onto our first Altcoin, Litecoin is a very interesting cryptocurrency.

It was first created around the same time Bitcoin was starting to make waves around the world. But its value is at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Litecoin transactions are very quick when compared to Bitcoin. A usual BTC block transfer takes approximately 10 minutes whereas LTC is only 2 and a half minutes. On Stake, LTC appears third from the top on the dropdown menu. It’s most commonly associated with the colour silver of a light grey.

That’s a huge difference and selling point, especially for people who make regular transfers. But as previously mentioned, its value is much smaller than its proverbial ‘big brother’.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

From three of Stake’s most valuable cryptos to its least valuable. That’s not to say it’s no good. Dogecoin is a very hotly debated coin.

Appearing fourth on Stake’s dropdown menu, you will often notice anyone on the site with Dogecoin will have plenty of them. That’s because there are plenty to go around! The coin itself appears fourth from the top on the dropdown menu.

Usually associated with the colour yellow, Dogecoin can be fun to use and generally safe to purchase.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Another spin off of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash is a slightly less valuable coin but one that has plenty of potential to grow.

Often appearing in a light green colour and appearing fourth from the bottom on Stake’s dropdown menu, Bitcoin Cash is fairly similar to Ethereum in value.

Fluctuations in price are slightly more regular than other coins but you can rest assured knowing its a safe investment.

Many industry experts predict that, like Ether, it will only grow in the future into a much more valuable coin. If you’re looking for a niche coin that could net you profit down the line, look no further.

Tron (TRX)

Tron is a fairly unknown coin that can still offer great investment for buyers.

Often appearing in red and second from last on Stake’s dropdown menu, Tron is worth slightly more than Dogecoin. Many experts predict it will grow in the future and like Bitcoin Cash, it could pose a great niche investment opportunity.

EOS (EOS)

The latest cryptocurrency to be added to Stake’s side, EOS is a very interesting coin. Worth more than the cryptos that appear towards to bottom of Stake’s dropdown menu, EOS certainly has its pros.

To learn more, read up on why you should switch to EOS and how you can use it to turn profit.
