Topic: Passive income : Bank interest vs staking - page 6. (Read 975 times)

The best banking interest you can receive right now is roughly .5% and this is for only online only banking since they do not have the brick and mortar overhead costs that a physical location incurs so they are able to offer higher rates. Now comparing staking to bank interest rates it’s not a fair comparison. Staking involves MUCH MORE risk! These are really two entirely different things.

Not your keys / not your money .  That doesn't seem to be the situation I would expect with all the purported changes from governments in the not-too-distant future.  Find a hiding place first to keep the sovereignty and secure the assets, almost they will have to wait for some dex to become complete lending/farming/staking… lk
Bank interest rates are a bad thing when it comes to inflation and even so, the Fed continues to look for ways to increase the value of currencies that have been softened by the impact of the pandemic.  After all, I prefer APY of crypto, say no to banks.  Lol

you should also consider the volatility of it, right? it can just be adjusted unless it is a shitcoin that will die anyway. Well, speaking of profit, it is really profitable, but we don't know if it would be stable, unlike how stable banks are. Staking is good for a few more months unless it is a really established one with a lot of roadmaps ahead, which would be a good thing to invest in, but so far from what I have seen, it is best to stake for 3 months then get out and try again to a newer one.

Banks VS Crypto : Interest vs Staking

Today, the most common way people seek to turn profit on their investments is with a savings account in a bank.

However, depending on where you are based and the options available to you, odds are that even the most generous savings account will only pay somewhere in the range of 1-2% yearly, if you are very lucky...This value is barely above the rate of inflation in most countries, and is actually a worthless return.

Luckily Crypto has an alternative for the Bank 's "interest":

#STAKING

If you're a crypto investor, staking is a concept you'll hear about often. Staking is the way many #cryptocurrencies verify their transactions, and it allows participants to earn rewards on their holdings (aka the interest of cryptos). The interest a holder gets, depends a lot of the crypto itself. It can go from 5% till much higher returns.

One of the crypto's with interesting staking returns is #ICP¨, as it can give you uptill 28% APY (yearly).
Sounds better no?

HOW DO I STAKE ON ICP using NNS?

1. CREATE AN INTERNET IDENTITY

You will need to create an internet identity to login to the NNS app. This is easy to do if you have a fingerprint reader on your computer or phone or you have face id on your phone. (if you don't, you will need a physical key, for ex Yubikey or you will have to connect a wallet)

Create your Identity here:
https://identity.ic0.app/
(never forget to write down your seedphrase)

2. LOG IN THE Network Nervous System DAPP

The network nervous system is the way that the internet computer is governed, and staking ICP will allow you to participate in the community governance of the internet computer.

Connect here:
https://nns.ic0.app/v2/

After authorizing, you have successfully logged into the Network Nervous System (NNS )

3. TRANSFER YOUR ICP to your NNS Wallet

Once you login with internet identity you should see a “Main” wallet displayed. There is a long wallet address underneath the name. This is the ICP wallet address for your “Main” wallet. Now, go to Coinbase or Binance (or wherever your ICP is) and transfer your ICP to that wallet address. It should only take a few minutes (at the most) for the transfer to go through.

4. STAKE YOUR ICP IN YOUR NNS Wallet

Step 1: Click on the Neurons tab and click Stake Neuron.
Step 2: Enter the total number of ICP you want to stake, and click create.
Step 3: Set the dissolve delay to your preferred years of stake, and click update delay and confirm it.
Step 4: Next, select your topics of interest for the proposals you can vote for. As here, you actually own your currency (not banks holding it) and you can vote on topics for the governance of the ecosystem.

Enjoy your freedom and your real passive income

, it's your choice to stake with the percentage of APY they'll issue to you but you don't hold the keys.

Do people here put a ton of money staking stablecoins in sites like nexo, celsius, gemini etc?

This is not a good way to earn interest. Basically you need to own the underlying and what happens if it loses 99% of its value? There are way too many scam tokens out there which promise 100% APY to get people to buy them and then they lose all their value. Compared to the two I rather just keep it inside a bank earning nothing rather than lose 99% value.

If you want to stake do ETH or lend your stablecoins on a regulated exchange. Use 2fa and white listed addresses and be smart about security. Much better than the token he mentioned.

Depends on what you are staking. Everyone talks about how staking is better but the reality is that if you are staking something horrible then you are not earning enough money at all. You should consider the fact that crypto is not something you could really throw out of hand that easily, it is basically a two faced project that has both great stuff you could stake and terrible stuff that would hurt your finances.

If you stake something like uni or cake or eth then you will earn a good amount and it would be great, but if you are staking some shitcoin then you will lose it all and bank would be better in that situation. Basically, pick what you are staking properly.

You can also turn your point around. If you know a project had a all time high of 424 and went to 17, if you start staking at 17, your chances of bigger gains are much higher. Especially if you follow the fundamentals, the updates, the team,...you can clearly see we are not talking about a dead project.

I don't know how long you have been in crypto, but corrections of 80 to 95% are noting new to me. Its exactly the time I start paying attention. I am not going to buy a crypto that went 10x, 20x, 50x,...no, I buy after a correction. If you check historical price graphs of the past of good crypto projects, check what happened after a correction of 95%...a new all time high....exactly.

Its undeniable that staking is much profitable that bank interest but the question there is does the platform which offer this service will last long?

Since we know in crypto nothing is permanent and there's a huge risk in every decision we made here. But if the person is new to cryptocurrency and seek for more secure investment they should go on banks since this is much safety for our money although the return is so low but we can assure that we are in safe hands.
