Yes I agree, it now gives smaller guys a chance to stake and earn a share of the pie instead of just masternode holders and before people mining. Staking has always been a great way to earn some coins even with a small outlay. I can see GTM being a lot bigger in the next 6 months and by then staking can be very profitable.
Staking integration on Gentarium network, somehow and at somewhat extent will help to spread hashes out to small hands of stakers.
It is helpful to maintain to core value of crypto, keeping the network as decentralized as possible.
Staking also help to reduce potential unexpected side-effects on global environment.
Why?
Stakers can use VPS and masternode hosting services or staking pools to stake their coins and earn rewards. They don't need to have and operate mining rigs, that requires huge supply of electricty and potentially contribute significant green house gases.
