There is currently a time when most crypto projects run on auto staking and auto compounding systems. Where the temptation to invest in a very attractive profit in a year is being shown.
What is the future of these projects?
And how reasonable is the investment?
The future in the vast majority of cases is a great loss for whoever invests in them. As a picture is worth a thousand words, let's look at an example from another thread:
One of the crypto's with interesting staking returns is #ICP¨, as it can give you uptill 28% APY (yearly).
Sounds better no?
Of course, it does, wow, 28% APY, where do I get those tokens to earn billions?
Oh wait, did you say ICP?
ICP as in the thing that crashed from 424 to 17$?
So if I would have staked with ICP a year ago I would have put down 424$ of cons and got back 22$ with all the APY.
Sorry, 1% bank interest sounds better than losing 95%.
Wake up people, before you end up poor!
Auto staking and auto compounding to lose 95% of your investment does not sound very smart. In some cases you may hit the lottery and in addition to the staking and compounding gains, the shitcoin will have risen a lot and you will be able to sell with a lot of profit but this does not make the strategy an optimal way of investing.
