I am planning on staking an altcoin to earn kind of an additional income to my salary.
Since I will be putting lots of money to earn a worthwhile return, I'm worried I'll put it in a crypto that won't be relevant in 3-5 years. The safest bet of course is to stake ethereum, but I don't like the indefinite lockup period they got right now. I like the Atom coin, but I'm not sure how to evaluate whether it has strong fundamentals and if it will be relevant in a few years (the top 10 cryptos now are very different from the top 10 a few years ago). Same with MATIC and a few other apparently strong cryptos at the moment.
I know it's impossible to predict the future but what would you folks advise someone in my position?
but MATIC? what made you mentioned this? are your really seeking for advice ? or at some point you are promoting Polygon?
