Topic: The Difference Between Staking and Investing - page 8. (Read 1103 times)

I think staking is better than investing. By staking a token you will get rewards in that token which means it will increase your portfolio slowly. Also staking is also a kind of investment because you need to buy those assets before you stake it in any place. So by staking you can invest in any project for the long term and at the same time, you can increase that token only by holding it. Whcih one is more profitable?

Basic knowledge ... your post is below this.

1 - staking involve investing. they should never be considered separately
2- here we come to quantitative and qualitative ROI - you may get 20% from stacking and still be on loss when your coin dump 50%
3 - investing does not give much higher/lower percentage of profit. It is completely different.
4 - you should also write something about gross/net profit from stacking. If you have 10% annual from stacking while coin supply grow 8% annually than your net profit is equal to 2%. Whats better? stacking a coin with 10% annually with 8 % supply grow (2% net profit) or holding coin without stacking that is deflationary (burn 7% of supply annually)

And maaaany more that should be added to call your post valuable knowledge.

Profit doesn't depend on capital.

Staking does not mean profit, the coin your staking may increase by number but that doesn't mean profit. Investment, on the other hand, is different it requires broader knowledge, skills (a bit), and analysis.

Maybe you're referring to trading not investing? there's no "short period of time" in investment, there is a short-term investment, but "short period of time"? maybe it's day trading or so.

What I am see here is "PROFITABLE, EARN" in investing and staking, am not nimble in staking but I know about investments and investing and for long I have thought that explain it is technical/sensitive, same should be applicable to staking, that PROFITABILITY, GAINS in the two goes with loses, thats right, you may not acknowledge this if you a freak to optimism, but the possibilities are eminent.

Investing are more effective compare to staking especially if you have a good trading skills and know when to buy and sell while staking is just fully depending on how the network work and you are stuck into one project only which can be more risky. You don't need a huge capital just to be more profitable, you need to learn and more experience about the market and you can increase that capital thru your earnings over time, choose wisely always.

As I read some post here, I found out that many people in crypto space are still confused between the staking and investing. I just want to give some insight about the difference between this two so that you can decide what to choose. You can add more about it so that it can give knowledge to others.

As what I have read and searched:

Investing is a way to potentially increase the amount of money you have. The goal is to buy financial products, also called investments, and hopefully sell them at a higher price than what you initially paid. .
Investing is the process of buying assets that increase in value over time and provide returns in the form of income payments or capital gains.

While;
Staking is the process of actively participating in transaction validation (similar to mining) on a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. On these blockchains, anyone with a minimum-required balance of a specific cryptocurrency can validate transactions and earn Staking rewards.
Staking involves holding funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to support the security and operations of a blockchain network. Simply put, staking is the act of locking cryptocurrencies to receive rewards. In most cases, you'll be able to stake your coins directly from your crypto wallet, such as Trust Wallet.

At the end, both are profitable but it depends on your capital. Staking just provide small yearly interest like in a traditional banks but investing give much higher percentage of profit in just a short period of time but it depends on how much, what or where did you invest. You can also choose both if you want to earn more. Everything is up to you, if what you prefer to do to earn.
