It's not that government has not tried to make crypto illegal, they did and they failed.
The same happened in my country. The government first ignored it, after some complaints, they cracked down on bank integrated exchanges. They even seized mining equipments and called mining and trading of crypto illegal. But that didn't stopped people from P2P trading and mining. And with cheap electricity here, mining farms are again booming this time with the protection of state.

The thing is there is no much room for POW coins and community POS coins are also not being able to sustain for long. Every new crypto are from well funded projects and there are lesser and lesser involvement in community coins as the volunteer coders are now getting better incentive for getting involved in good projects. I don't even know any of those POS or POW coins that came in last year and made it to spotlight.

Most of the traders do the same. I'm not an active trader still I managed to sell 10% of my holding at 11999 today and am waiting to a market movement to decide another buy. I'd wait if the market still falls but would buy anywhere below 11300 if the price starts to move up. This simple grid trading strategy is effective if you are taking fiat as your initial investment.

Last day I went through some of the historical movement of bitcoin and my own custom metrics to find how high the price may go. My predictions made the bitcoin rise upto about 21K USD and the subsequent correction would be resisted around 11.5K USD making a slight correction afterwards. I have already placed my sell orders (at different support level) as the price crossed 11.5K.

The last two partnership for the 7th wicket went impressive and the 8th wicket partnership is also above 50 at the moment. These two partnership now placed the Irish team to a competitive target. With two overs left, they'd probably give a target of 225+ and if these bowlers performed as well as they bat today, the game could turn to any sides.

Reorg needs 51% of hash rate but how could this single miner get 51% of ETC hash?
This is either a 51% attack from some large mining pools or a completely unidentified bug with the ETC and probably ETH blockchain.
They are also asking for stopping deposit and withdrawal while continue with mining the coin in current state.

For a country that has it's previous physical ballot election interfered by a foreign government, an email voting would be a disaster. What if the Russians hacked again and this time elected Putin as the President?
It would be better to let the coronavirus crisis settle which may take a couple of more years and go through elections when everything gets normal.

I think it would be better to classify them as off chain and on chain gambling sites.
On chain gambling was quite popular on early days of bitcoin but increase in transaction fees and slowing down of network sprouted on chain gambling.
The only benefit of off chain gambling are they can achieve that without a fee and quickly but with newer gambling oriented coins with nearly zero and instant fees, on chain gambling are catching up. If there's a similar alternative of both sites, I'd always prefer on chain gambling sites.

Why people even give money to these obvious scam. It's better not to venture everywhere and stick to some prominent exchange IEO and tested coins. Even if you missed investing in a good coin, you can easily buy them cheap when they get listed on the exchange. So, don't dive on every IPOs and IEOs from less popular exchanges.

I have mostly used bitcoin am holding it in largest amount and so is my most favorite coin. I was at a time used to gambling with Dogecoin and still is my favorite coins when it comes to moving between exchanges. I no more hold any altcoins except some ETH but Tron is getting some of my attention. If they keep on improving, I'll need to invest on Tron.

Bitconnect was for some time the 3rd coin by marketcap. Market cap is not a measure of goodness.
I haven't exactly studied about Ampleforth but if the change in price is the only reason for it to increase or decrease the price than it's surely a ponzi. Change in supply can be justified on coins that are freezing or releasing another coin or fiat to accommodate the price. There need to be value that should determine the price, not the other way around.

Sportsbet, been using it for more some years now, it's not that they have the best odds but for some reason they feel like home. As a small gambler, the boost odds feature just works for me. And their selection of casinos and pokers are huge. So, are their sports selection, rare is the incident when I don't find a game I want to bet on with sportsbet.
I've used Nitrogenbet in the past, they still have one of the best odds better than sportsbet.
Fairlay, best odds. They also have events to bet on but are not as flexible on amount and never could I fully understood how it works.

It's a free and unregulated market and it's both good and bad. It's always good to have more options but people and developers would also get divided for gain of individual project which may diminish the overall motive of cryptocurrency. With so much divergence on crypto, enterprises and government would soon dominate the crypto share of market as they have the capacity to bring better tech on crypto and advertise.

It's hard to redeem that money without getting noticed. The hackers would move it slow and to so much many address that it would get difficult for the people to keep a track and maybe make them go through some mixtures to turn the coins white. They would ofcourse not used any centralized exchanges as they'll easily get caught at the moment.

And it makes me wonder that people are taking such risk for easy money. They knew China is a hard place to run a ponzi and not get arrested but they did it anyway. There's ought to be other links to the ponzi as most of these Chinese operation are masterminded from outside. There are instances of Chinese scammers establishing offices outside Chinese jurisdiction to target Chinese people for scam.

Though it may be an opposite path to crypto as imagined by satoshi but it would be a step forward for blockchain development and a leap for adoption. The development part would be more positive as other project could learn from the use and operation of digital yuan. The adoption section may discourage users to go towards traditional crypto but their approach would be worth learning even for open source projects.

People are too much excited about ETH 2.0 for sure. It could be a good strategy to accumulate ETH at cheaper price and sell them before the new network is live as you can't be sure about the what direction the price would go after the launch. But again many people are already disappointed by no significant rise in price of bitcoin after the halving.

If you want a hassle free experience, Tron's on chain gambling site are great. They won't ask for your KYC and you don't even need to deposit your funds their as you can directly gamble on chain getting profit back on your wallet. Tron gambling sites like wink for almost every form of gambling, 888tron and xdapp for slots and cards and rocketgame for crash games. Though tron is not my favorite coin but the onchain gambling just lures me in. Gives some nostalgia of gambling on directbet.eu.

People trade for different reasons and with different strategy. A trading strategy for long hodlers won't be the same as a short term holder, traders who profits from price fluctuations and the day traders who earns from trading. The priorities of event traders may not be same as of a grid trader. You first need to set your priority and devise a strategy for your own.

Every one as a kid do gamble some money of a local fair or carnival but that's much different than professional gambling.
The age limit for gambling is in place as a kid can't be held fully responsible for their actions as they have a fluid mind.
Most of the time a kid don't have a source of income and if they gamble, they'd be gambling their parents money and mostly without a consent.
It's necessary to make it hard for kids below 18 to gamble but on 18, people became much more in control of their own life. So, I consider 18 being the age of economic independence.
