I think staking is very good when you still have capital and of course you apply it for long-term investment, because the results of staking will look longer than trading, do staking in a safe place and don't let you lose access to the assets you use for stake.
And there are exchanges that offers staking and this is being chosen by many investors. It's fine on their end but they don't realize that they're not holding the private keys for those coins that they've put into staking into an exchange.
We've got a lot of options if we want to stake our coins. I get the idea that since we're just holding it, it's also better to put it into staking but make sure you hold private keys but for me, it won't matter and I'll choose to hold.
