It's a gambler's currency.
It's a gambler's {x} could be understood to mean, "prioritizing the desires of players of games of chance." A casino that has many rigged games (beyond the tuning of the odds in favor of the house) wouldn't be considered to be a "gambler's." If you're saying that buying bitcoin is "a gamble," then this may be true, contingent on how much information you're operating on. I'd say that things are happening to Bitcoin, and the more information one has on these things, the more you can narrow down what will happen to the forks.
