Staking is good in some ways if you do it through your personal device. You will get higher reward than offers of platforms. Nevertheless, it's better to invest or trade since you know there's chance of losing significant value through staking because you have to hold a big amount for getting good rewards. Once, the specific coin you are staking got a significant dump, it's unlikely that it will recover that fast. Anyway, every options have its advantages and disadvantages.
When it comes to staking then i would rather prefer on putting up money in established altcoins like EOS or DASH when it comes to this matter, not just on carelessly considering specially new alts
that had just popped out in the market and offering good returns or staking amount in a span of time.Of course each of them does have corresponding pros and cons but overall staking can really be
considered as investment since you've put out some money on it for you to earn.For me, trading off manually is much more worth of a choice than just making yourself passive
into coins which arent even have assurance of profitability in longer runs.
