As a sports fans, I would say yes. But as a gambler, sometimes you are put on a big stress watching the live games because you don't know if you're going to win or not. That's why most of the time I just look at the live score and never watch the game. Another thing though is that most of the games I bet usually plays like 12 am - 6 am, so obviously I can't catch those games and watch the match unfolds.
On the contrary I think as a gambler it is even better to watch the live game. For me it makes me guess better who to win, because I would have seen all the odds of the game, know where players are getting it wrong and the strongest player, how the scores were made and all. So by the time am done putting all this together, I am very sure of making the right decision, as a fan I can even just watch highlights of the game and I will be fine but for gambling purpose, details are very important to me.

Not all ICOs are worthless just look at projects like Ethereum and EOS who successfully raised funds using this method and are now top ranked platforms, however, you are correct in highlighting the fact that this form of crowd funding has been exploited by scammers and professionals who lack the necessary skills or experience to launch a startup and is no longer a popular avenue of raising funds, but all this is starting to change with IEOs and STOs gaining popularity that can offer more protection for investors
Ethereum and EOS started when scammers has not hijacked the system of ICO from real projects and real developer but now, most of the upcoming projects we have now or the ones recently completed and not up to a year old are scrap. Though we still have lots of projects that I have been working on that I strongly believe are very reliable and coming out with quality projects. The invention of IEO is really going to be a way forward to earn the trust of more investors because STO might face a lot of setback,even thoughit’s built on blockchain but will still be operated within the centralized market system.

Naturally maybe gambling made to make people get money without any big works.
This is not true, most successful gamblers put their time and effort to develop their strategy into a working one. It's called working smart, and although we want this but not of all have the skills to be successful in gambling, and therefore we have to see that as the reality. There are two possibilities. Number one is that you stumble upon a box full of a millions dollars and number two is that you work hard, smart and make strategies and make it happen to make a million dollar or maybe more. The latter has been the most favorite option because the former is way too uncertain like the outcomes in gambling. So, You have to take some big risks to make big money and nothing comes that easy in gambling. Only in theoretical that gamblers are making easy money but for a most common people who do visit gambling houses monthly once or twice, will really feel that earning from a day job is easier than hitting a lottery in gambling. If your luck is on your side, then you may get big rewards else you may need to keep trying by spending(literally wasting) your hard earned money.

BTC when there are no high transaction fees which as of late has not been the case.
Well, that is right and same here. I have been a long term lover of Bitcoin in gambling thing and this looks more easy and convenient to gambling using Bitcoin. But, yes the transaction fee is an issue and it is more adored when it is low but the case has been different lately. And yes, other coins like Litecoin, Dogecoin and Bitcoin cash have been frequently used as an alternative for gambling and in recent times there are gambling houses which are using their own tokens for gambling within their house. I still go with only bitcoins and I am not ready to miss out a jackpot hitting by using a low value altcoin. Gambling with bitcoin ensures that I will win if luck favors me and if not favoring me that means I need to keep trying whereas altcoin may reduce my profits levels by ten fold or even in higher number.

New users do not have any bitcoins on the website anyway, so they can't really take advantage of it, if you mean in a more "marketing" type of way that they should share this with people who are not registered to attract even more people than you might be right but at the same time they never really have trouble finding users. This is THE "freebitcoin" website and they have been in operation since beginning of time, the people who realized you can cook meat came later than freebitcoin so they do not need that type of marketing if you ask me.
I mean it wouldn't hurt of course so they can totally add it but its also not a major game changer. Most people who register are usually people who are after free bitcoins and not interest rates so I do not think it would be a big selling point for the website.

For anyone who can look neutral, the answer will be Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most important element of the crypto market.
I believe that besides Bitcoin, in the given options, Ethereum is the best coins among all. This is an undeniable truth and that is the reason that it has gotten so many votes (16%). In addition, I think that ETH along with Bitcoin can make you the best portfolio which could be instrumental in making you one rich man. This is a known fact so you need to claim a part of both the coins and start playing the game. Now a days people are talking about TRON and EOS as next ethereum. I cannot completely ignore them still I do hesitate to invest into them as the next big thing cannot be a clone of ethereum but an innovative new industry shaking technology.

This is the very first time I am hearing about asset backed token after all my years of studying the blockchain, so it would be great if can share more light about what you are trying to talk about because I can also see that I am not the only one left behind and a lot of persons here don't also know of what you are trying to talk about, I am not putting it as a burden to you but am just saying that it would be better if you can give as an explanation of what you are talking about and then we might be able to make our contribution.

With cryptocurrency patience is a very big factor that every cryptocurrency user need to possess. Over several surveys taken with the cryptocurrency users, majority of the users profited after long term holding. Also when asked about the holding time period, it was mentioned that they hold for at least seven years time to profit good after investing.
Patience is everything and not only in ong term investment, even in short term investment. You are right that a long term investment can give a very huge profit, that is if the project of choice is a good one to really stay that long, the only project that is still passing the test of time is bitcoin which is over 10 years now, but day trading too can really give a very good profit, imagine someone who has successfully been trading for 7 years, do you know how much the person would have made in total by now? So patience is the key to every aspect of this investment, be it long term investment or short term investment.

I am definitely not a newbie to crypto currency but somewhat new to day trading since I did long terms many times but my intention is to make short term profits so I picked up the day trading as my option but again I am not interested to many coins only two or three best pairs I will be looking for.
The best coin that can still guarantee you profit at least on a daily basis provided you are picking profit at the right time and staying with your system almost 24/7 is still the top 2 listed on coin market cap which is BTC and ETH. We still have other ones within the first 20 actually that will give you good profit such as BNB and Dash, those are the ones I do trade on a daily basis aside Bitcoin and Ethereum and honestly, they have been given me enough profit that I feel is okay for me, which is 3% to 5% profit, I could actually get more than this but I don’t want to take my chances since I have lost so many of my trade to greed.

With bitfinx shutting down its service and coinbase being priced very high which other service do you use?
It has been Binance all the way since i joined the cryptocurrency. Many exchanges but different services rendered, Binance has given me more experience than any other exchanges and i stick to their services till date. Coinbase which was called the most easiest and simplest exchange to use turned out to blocked my account for no reason reasonable enough to be considered. They blocked your account with funds in it? Did you contact their service team for what reason they had blocked you? Bianance is better as you said but using a CEX will always make our funds in intot be risk so we don't have to keep our funds in it for long time. Binance is a good exchange and I have not seen too much complaint about them. I started with coinbase, that's a normal thing for most newbies, lol. And I can also say that coinbase is a good one, the only problem I was having with them then was on difficulties in logging into my account. Their login is different from other exchange and sometimes it gets quite irritating, but I know they are doing all that to keep their customers accounts safe. As for Bitfinex, they are not completely shutting down, their announcement on August 2017 is that they are exciting the American market because of the harsh legislation and regulatory environment. Still, I feel Coinbase is a very good exchange and that's if your don't mind the fees that are being charged. If you can cope with it then it will be a better option and their platform is secured, never been an issue with them.

Don't be too stressed to watch the market moving because you cannot think what next you should do. You have to stay calm and still analyze every coin so you can find a way to make a profit. Stress will only make us sad, angry and we cannot see the opportunity to buy the coins when it's down. Maybe you need to shutdown your computer for a while and leave your room, enjoy your time in the cafe or having fun with your friends.
It has really taken a long time and my friends who invested when the price was high are now complaining cause they all now feel like it is never going back up again. The only I keep giving them is never bother themselves about it anymore, all they have to do is just forget about everything and leave the money they have invested, cause I'm very sure that no matter how long it takes, there's still going to be a Bull run. In its ten year history, this is the longest bear market that Bitcoin has ever had . There are lots of retail investors and individual traders that entered the crypto when it was at its peak price in 2017 and after that the price has dropped and they have seen huge loss within a short period of time. Everyone really wants the price to get back up so that they can gain back what the have lost.

Bitcoin and top alcoins are recovering from their altime low since 2017. For months, these coins are performing well in the market by having nice fluctuations which is good for skilled traders. This recovery is a sign of going into the bullish market. But I think it will still take time. So lose your patience in cryptocurrency.
What we are saying here could be helpful for the newbie to understand the current market situation. Based on my observation with the posts that I read, most of us are bullish this year, and that makes me more optimistic that the wait will be over soon. I think that the market is on the way to recovery and I truly believe that there could be great profits in future if you speculate in top coins like Bitcoin and ETH. It is in fact worth investing in cryptocurrency because the market has been expanding at great pace and has actually on the verge to cross $140 billion or it might have already crossed it. So, it is better to claim your part of the money rather than missing out. As per many experts, we are at the beginning days of another massive bull rally. This must be a very much once in life time kind of opportunity for any crypto lover. Making use of it is up to the level of anyone's knowledge.

2.) How could the recipients turn their crypto into cash without going through a bank? For example, if we sent 10,000 worth of Rupee to India via crypto, how would the end user convert this into Rupee in their country?
IMO the only option is peer 2 peer trading, and by that I mean direct trade / trading on the spot, not using platform like Localbitcoins. In such countries, considering they're really oppressed by the government and there's a lack of innovation, I also believe there won't be any exchange that support direct withdrawal to their own bank account. You are 100% right about that. Countries hit harder by political instability and financial constraints are not even aware of the cryptocurrency and its need. The government knows about it of course but I think that a country has to be in good shape in terms of both political and financial condition if they wants to avail the fruits of cryptocurrency in general and coins like Bitcoin and ETH in particular. Using crypto for any kind of real life need, must have enough infrastructure to get familiar among common people. Withdrawing to bank account or buying with local fiats will be possible only when governments stand positive against cryptos even in the case the case of being neutral also will make it difficult.

Financial independence is very paramount and the only way to be free financially is to be patient with whatever it is that we are doing to help us out of our financial crises and one day the pain of it will be very useful to us. We have all heard the story of cryptocurrency and have seen where it started from, how far it has gone and we are aware of the present success and challenges, all these will pass away over time and that coin we invested in will make us happy but it is very important that the coin is worth our patience, we really need to learn how to invest in the right project.
Lol, I feel your pain bro and I understand that many of us can find ourselves in your exact situation most times because of the unpredictable nature of the market but based on my experience in crypto and how so many coins has thought me so much lessons. What I usually do in your case is never to sell of all my coins completely no matter how hard I think the project is good or not, at least I always leave 30% of the coin on hold till faith and future decides what happens to that one, with this you won’t end up regretting or losing out completely. We just need to take things slow in making the right decisions that will affect our future positively.

There are so many speculations and news in this space every year. Am still patiently liking forward to Facebook having their coin.
Facebook is just one out of the many crypto booster projects we are waiting for this year, the moment one of them releases theirs will be the beginning of speedy bull run for cryptocurrency, we still have the VISA company coming on board too this year and I see a lot of crypto investors jubilation next year. I am also waiting for Facebook to roll out their coin and also other projects lined up for this year. I wish I could get more bitcoin to hold because as these project products are being released, it will play its major role in strengthening the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Launching IEO through binance launchpad won't be an easy task because it will be way too pricey for some projects and since January 2019 I've seen many IEO projects that still do bounties ,I think its a matter of choice from the developers even if the IEO is launched on binance the developer might still consider bounty
If you see any project doing bounty campaign, then it is not an IEO project, it is probably an ICO, because I see that most IEO projects gets sold out even within minutes of launching them, this can be verified by the ones Binance has already carried out successfully, the ones that are making use of bounties which we still have so many of them are those that find it difficult to go by the regulations of these exchanges which price is also a determinant factor in a project choosing to go either on IEO or ICO and this is the reason why we will only have few projects getting listed on IEO though it is safer to engage with IEO projects.

It might be happen IF the exchange who had IEO not selective on IEO in their site. I think Binance or other exchange should be smart and not blindly accept all IEO on their site because if anyone can make their own IEO on exchange, it will be a disaster and it can be ended like ICO.
Right, this is why ICO too will not die off completely like many hunters are scared of. There are so many rules to be abide by from both the project team and even the investors, so, not many ICO will be able to migrate to IEO, thereby making the IEO limited to well scrutinized projects and little participants. Except exchanges that are without reputation and would take any project or shitcoins project because of the little token they will offer them for registration but I really doubt if this can ever happen in all these top exchanges, especially the Binance Launchpad.

It is just so amazing that the team that gave us the most trustworthy dice game ever is working on cornering the whole market with trust.
Don't get me wrong this is not a monopoly, they are not doing anything wrong because look at the stats of other websites and you will see that stake and primedice is not like all the market, people play other places as well but the difference between "where you play" (which changes from people to people) and "which website you trust most" (almost always stake or primedice) is so major that we are lucky to have these guys on the market as it is.
Knowing that they are now moving to sportsbook is a major news, I mean I don't care about their odds, I don't care about what software they will use theirs or a third party, no matter what the outcome is I will switch from my current one and play on their sportsbook for sure.

I'm not. Most of the time my decision making is wrong. This is the reason why I'm consulting some of my friends that are in cryptocurrency to help me in deciding which to invest. I'm still part of learning. I think the wrong decisions that I experienced can make me a better but not intellegent investor.
You are not alone mate. I don’t think there’s anyone that completely an intelligent investor. We all make mistakes especially in decision making but the whole idea is to keep learning and upgrading. Decision making is one of things that make us human; we are not expected to get it right at all times. There have been times I look back at some crazy mistakes I made especially in trading and some coins I have invested in that crashed and am like whoa, if only I had some to put me through. But it’s all part of the market and it’s interesting. No regrets at all

I believe it is stake we are talking about, even WITHOUT primedice they are still one of the biggest and best casinos out there, if you didn't know their connection with primedice and you just saw them as it is you would still be falling in love with how they are doing all these marketing and promotions and bonuses and such, they are doing campaigns, they are putting advertisement everywhere and their signature campaign is one of the biggest ever.
So, all in all I can clearly say if they had nothing to do with primedice they would still be one of the biggest casinos in the whole crypto world. But, put primedice history under all of this and than it becomes just unfair to any other casino out there, its not even remotely close to any other competition for them.
