It was based off the exact same codebase as bitcoin with the except of a few tweaked values, basically. It's fast right now only because it hasn't hit the 1MB block limit yet, it'll have the exact same issues as bitcoin once enough people are using it.

mmmmmmk
ethereums got a stable dev community and is highly under valued for something so significant, I suggest you read up on eth and whats behind it
litecoin has good gains sure, but it's riding a bitcoin wave. ethereum will make it in the long run purely because it's bitcoin level technology disruption. smart contracts running on a blockchain is VERY significant, I suggest at least a bit of your long term portfolio should be dedicated to it instead of short term pumps

Honestly, you shouldn't. Pretty early on, it got to the point where non-ASIC miners weren't producing coins worth the electricity and hardware they were mined on.
Now, in hindsight, it would have been worth it if you were to hold onto them until they blew up to $12k, but that's very unlikely in itself.
It's not hard to 'almost be a millionaire' in hindsight. If a hooded figure handed you a spreadsheet detailing exactly how just the Dow 30 will change throughout the next trading day, you could take whatever money is in your bank account, get it leveraged as much as possible, and then become a billionaire by tomorrow by making only the maximally effective trades calculated using a computer.
