well that's not fair... It's true that depending on the state, laws and gambling changes a lot, but take for granted that there are ~10 states were gambling is something very accepted, just take a look to this list for example: http://www.maitravelsite.com/world-destinations/north-central-south-america/top-10-cities-in-the-usa-to-go-gaming-and-gambling/

And some of them are among the top list of cities in the world about gambling: http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-gambling-destination/

Not very scientific, just basic google search, but yeah, saying US does not like gambling is not very exact... better said, some states. Or am I wrong? If you are from the states, who better than you for explaining the particulariites  on this matter Would be welcome

Read this about when will be the rest of distribution, short answer, slowly release starting on ~July

Yeap, you're right, on Polo I saw HEAVY dumps and pumps played by whales, ( i don't like to lightly talk about whales but in those cases they were whales for sure. The thing is that people tend to talk about whales easily when it's just normal movements)

When i said a x10 was difficult i meant being an x10 steady, may get there but you know what will happen later right?

Multiplying x10 it's EDG/USD just for being listed on Polo? No way man. I see feasible something like a x4 (with a later correction to x3) something feasible, but a x10 is not possible just for that. If/when final version of BJ is released and sees an consistent grow in users, then we could see that x factor

Note for curious people: volume comparison between polo vs bittrex per coin: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/volume/24-hour/

didn't the 1800+ pages gave you a hint ? XD

Thanks for the info (for the good and the bad news), following this cannot harm noone, information is always welcome

Don't think it will be but as long as BJ,dice (beta) are finished on time (up to now they have fulfilled quite well timeline) EDG has heavily feasibility to be among top alt-coins.

About people strugling on the RNG cerfitied casino, no special worries on this:

1st) Having an online casino on the US --> for sure they had to apply for this license. Nothing new on this, i don't understand why people started worrying on this now.
2nd) As far as i've been told (not related with EDG, just a friend related with Gambling Association), it has to be a pretty mature project (like now that Beta is out) for applying for license, you cannot start paperwork with just a concept. So, as my understanding, they didn't forget about this until now, which seems some people think, just they start now they can start it.

Hopefully, they will get license by Q3 aligned to the theoretical launch of BJ... I'm quite confident (little crossing fingers too, paperwork always surprises me XD)

Regarding my thought of being listed on Polo, as said, was just guessing. Having new space after the 2nd of May drop out of many coins leaves space for new ones. That's all, rest is just desires. Truth to be told, on liqui.io, EDG is the 3rd coin with more volume, even this slow days and on bittrex i think was among the 35 of 180 coins. That's enough for being listed on more traders, as someone said, they like large volumes and we should not forget that there will be big volumes when the bounties are slowly released ~July, that's an valid excuse by itself.

Let's write down my personal impression. I've been in this market for some years and some patterns are always fulfilled...

I think many people forget this is crypto, to be exact alt-crypto XD 90% is holding alt-coins for "gambling with its prize", it's succulent to get 25% of benefits (and losses!) when it's the turn of "fame" for your selected coin. We all know how this behaves, many coins will have bursts of dump/pump until they succeed or are abandoned. EDG has a solid idea, it's the first to go for it seriously and now it seems to have stabilized after the inclusion in bittrex.

I won't lie to anyone, I also hold EDG (among other coins) from the very beggining, once I get my bounties I will have multiplied the inversion, there will be tough times for EDG's prize, many people will sell, many more to buy cheap. I don't know what I will do by then, but that will be in a couple of months. Everyone who panicked after the explanation of the number of bounties left, have already left the ship. Don't think it will go deeper than now.

My impression is that the following weeks/months until first release of bounties, we will see at least one big pump (maybe with the inclusion on polo ~2nd of May, just guessing) and for sure some dumps too. This is how it works, now it's time to make gains with other coins, turn to EDG will come again, we will se ""going to moon"", people very happy, and then the reality one it corrects it. What happens after June/July only god knows. Conclusion, EDG is quite cheap right now if you want to go for the timeframe of 2-3 months. After that timeframe, difficult to know where the prize will be.

It's fun to see how coins behave on weekends when no in-out fiat is possible, you see people weaving betweens the coins. Don't forget this, crypto is crypto. Do not panick on EDG yet.

Would be great to hear your opinions too
