Staking is a personal choice. It sort of means locking up your assets on a platform until you decide to unstake them. There are various staking options available, including on platforms like Binance. I've observed that sometimes, Bitget offers the highest APR in the industry.
Staking can be beneficial for holding your assets and earning some extra returns. But it all comes down to individual preferences. People should decide whether to stake based on their own strategies and beliefs.

     -   For me, staking is bad as long as the crypto you use for staking is right. For example you want to stake Bitcoin, in this matter for me it is okay and correct. but if you do staking with other altcoins, the risk is quite high compared to Bitcoin.

that's why it is necessary to always be careful not to hesitate our capital that will be used here for staking. unless you are really sure about the cryptocurrency you are going to stake. So always be cautious.

You can't stake Bitcoin. If you see a "Bitcoin" that you can stake for profit it's either a scam or a "Wrapped Token" built inside a smart contract platform such as ETH or BSC. Nearly every PoS coin comes with its risks. Some of them have high APR/APY rates, while others are all of the contrary. Usually, those with a high APR end up getting dumped massively on the market. You can thank "hyperinflation" for that.

The ones with lower rewards usually have relatively-stable market prices. "Staking" stablecoins is much safer, although you'll never know if the stablecoin of your choosing moves away from the USD peg. At least, staking is much more rewarding than saving your money in a bank. As long as you don't turn greedy by putting your life savings into staking, nothing should stop you from becoming financially-independent in the future. Just my thoughts Grin

Holding for me as an investment that takes a long time to take advantage of the bear and bull season because of that I can do other things like daily or weekly trading depending on the market situation if it looks profitable I immediately take it. I've never done staking at all, trust wallet is only used to accommodate new tokens from hunting, not a place to hold

To be honest, for me staking in cryptocurrencies is not a good thing,
because I once started staking and the results were still negative and I tried to just trade and the results were even better,
so it's better for us to learn technical analysis, if we can, then trading will be more profitable than just staking.

Staking is like holding but instead of just holding, you'll be getting more tokens which increase the profits you'll be making when you decide to sell your investment. Staking is basically holding and since holding is the easiest method to make money from the market, you're doing the right thing staking. The only precautions you're to take is to make sure your coins aren't locked.
When your tokens aren't locked you can withdraw all whenever you want but those that are locked get released around the same time which put more coins in circulation and causes the market to dump because people will expect the market to dump as tokens are been unlocked. Staking isn't profitable than trading but it's a lot safer and easy to do than trading.
Trading is only meant for people who understand it very well that they can make profits whenever they want to trade. A newbie can't make profits unless he understands how to trade and has gotten experience in the past but anybody can make profits from staking which makes it very easy to do as you need only your coins and wallets to start earning or using the project website to stake.

In most custodian wallets like trust wallet staking is available for most crypto currencies including trx.is it better to stake such a coin or hodl it

It is only wise to stake coins in a non-custodial wallet. Not an exchange or service which doesn't give you access to the keys or seeds tied to your crypto funds (custodial). Most people don't understand this, so they end up getting "rekt" in the process. Even when you stake coins on your own, there's always the risk of losing it all overnight. That's due to market price volatility.

If a PoS coin has a high inflation rate (APY), then it's likely prices will keep falling until it goes all the way down the drain. I'd suggest you stake (lend) stablecoins on a "De-Fi" protocol such as Aave or Compound.Finance just to be safe. Stablecoins usually retain their peg to the US Dollar (especially USDT), so you've got nothing to lose. Just my opinion Smiley

Small but passive in the sense that it will not fall that much in terms of value, if you are okay with a small percentage of earnings then if a stable coin is available to stake then you can go for it and grab that small passive way in gaining profits, unlike with crypto coin where the chance of a losing a portion of your money or the entire amount of your investment may take place along the way.

You need to really take time in order to understand how the market for your chosen coin/asset works and how will you earn passive benefits.

The decision depends on the quantity of coins or tokens you have available for staking because if you have a small amount, the rewards earned from staking will also be minimal. However, if you truly believe in your coin and want to increase its value by staking, envisioning its future potential similar to Bitcoin, it would be more advantageous to stake it rather than just hold it.

If you are holding your coin for a long term, it's a good idea to stake them and have some passive income on them instead of leaving them to lay idle on your wallet, but make sure you stake your coin in a secure and trusted platform because u could lose your funds

For long term investment and staking the most important thing is to choose right coin for investment. Now there is a fall of the market and during the fall of the market not all the coins will be able to survive. That is why it is important to evaluate the potential of the coin to choose the right coin which can become profitable and in demand.

the problem op asked is not trading vs staking but hold vs staking. when talking about staking vs trading it really depends on what altcoin you choose, the site you use for staking, and of course also your ability in trading. trading can provide greater profits from staking but can also provide greater losses, this really depends on the factors I mentioned earlier.

Staking r cryptocurrency can be a wise decision depending on one's investment goals and risk tolerance. Staking allows you to earn passive income by participating in the blockchain network and validating transactions. However, it's important to thoroughly research the project, understand the associated risks, and consider factors like the project's credibility, security, and potential returns before deciding to stake your crypto.
Very well said because I have seen some centralized staking platforms giving users passive income,  the introduction of new innovations such as AI development has made trading and other activities to become easier for a nob,  because since you are not going to do the activities yourself and due to that minimizing loses and gaining profits on a passive level,  this is same as using your money to work for you be it bitcoin USTD or any token that you are staking.


Be that as it may one also needs to be privacy conscious and also be brave enough to hold your private key if that is available and try as much as possible to avoid scam platforms,


Staking allows for diversification of portfolio be it as that you hold your bitcoin or other altcoin for a while and let it earn you some profits this is almost the same as holding for the long term since whenever the price of the coin you are holding increases,  it reflects on your profits. I

Things that you should understand before picking what coin to use in terms of staking, yes you may earn decent from the staking reward features but there are always requirements that you should know first before entering or participating, if you are willing to take your chance and willing to hold and wait and it's good for you to buy and stake your asset.

But, if you are unsure and you are doubting that you may be stuck better to think twice, understand all the factors and risk before deciding
your fate with your staking investment.


Staking is very popular during the rise of the market because you can earn even more passive income on staking and the price of the tokens rise. But during the fall of the market when price of the tokens falls the profit from staking can be smaller that the fall of the price of the token and staking becomes unprofitable. But after the fall of the market will be a rise and it is very important not only to choose the right coin for staking but also shoose the right time of staking and wait till the right time will come.

It all depends on what coin you want to stake, if for altcoins it is not recommended to stake locked at all. Because when the market dumps/pumps it will be difficult to withdraw it and if we want to unlock our coin from staking it will incur a rather expensive fee, so choose flexible staking like on exchanges but if staking like ETH 2.0 it will be worth it for the long term.
agreed with this one, the only thing that should be of concern when staking all of these altcoins in general is the fact that they might no be flexible which gonna cause many to lose opportunity of getting profits from dumping at the peak of the value of certain altcoins.
sometimes some staking just outright lock for more than 2 years which is honestly silly for altcoins in general because the lifecycle of many altcoins in general aren't that long anyway.
so locking for that long period might turns our investments which was initially promising, to become some worthless coins.

Staking could be a good idea if you stake a potential altcoin at a trusted platform. If you want to long hold your altcoin, then why not staking coin that offers you good amount of Roi annually. But staking means, you are giving your altcoins to another's hand and you can't control it anymore untill Certain time! Even sometimes you don't know, what will happened until the end of certain time. Thats why i didn’t stake till now, its better to keep my altcoins in my wallet and trade those wisely to have profit
Good Staking will always results in solid endings, although we might still experience some losses along the process, you know why? This is cryptocurrency and losses can never be avoided in every stage. For me, I'm stick to my plan, holding bitcoin and making sure I keep accumulating more altcoins during the bear season. Staking is one of the few activities that are less risky in crypto, it's held at helping us generate profits from our accumulated coins in our portfolio with absolute lesser actions in the market. Altcoins and stable coins are highly recommended for Staking because there results are massive.
