There are many serious and reliable projects in the market that we could invest in and have rest of mind but sometimes we might think that it many not give us a good return especially when you take a look at staking them. Many of those good projects always have low returns and APY when you stake them because they are very reliable with good team but because many of use are looking for projects with high APY, we do ignore them and go for something that looks very cheap with lots of promises and plans.
There is a fine line between investing into a project with no backing but just the investors/community, and investing into something that is tied to a casino. They have both have their advantage and disadvantage at the same time. If we are talking about just a regular coin or token that takes its power from the people then it could go up if there are more people and everyone is hyped, or it could be terrible if there are people losing interest to it.
I would always prefer tokens or coins with utility. This way the token market value will be backed by its utility. So I think investing in casino token is quite good, not the best but much better than a project that relies only on its community and initial investors.
The similar thing but very different happens with casino tokens, which means if casino is doing well then it could do well, if the casino is doing badly then it may do badly as well. So you have to ask yourself, do you trust the future of what it's tied to.
True but at least the token has utility that may support it in gaining community, and new investors, and establishing a market position.
Indeed, after you do your research and you are convinced that the project will bring profit it's you who will decide for your investment, your comparison is valid and whether the investor is leaning with staking rewards or he's just waiting for the value to increase the sure thing is as long as he's doing his investment to earn profits that's good, otherwise, if he invest just because someone tells him that he should invest and the project got a good potential then the chance of losing is possible.
In doing research we must look at the subjects' fundamentals and should observe the market longer. Because sometimes an error in research may happen if we do the market research during the pump or hype. Continuous observation or longer observation is needed to be able to identify the actual market of the subject.
