Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

My most important question: Which is better, staking or investing?

I will share my opinion with this question.

What is staking??LINK

Quote

Staking is the process of holding funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to support the operations of a blockchain network.

Base on the definition above, staking is a process of holding funds in their wallet to support the operations. Now in order to hold the tokens, you need to buy it right?? Isn't buying = investing??
Your question is confusing because it is somewhat correlated because if order for you to stake, you need to invest some money to buy that tokens and hold for some amount of time.

Invest in staking? How that sounds? I am saying for year, everything you do is an investment. On your job you invest your arms, brain, legs, and you get paid for that, but much better is to invest money and to earn money, so you can save your body and brain from troubles.
There's no simple math here, with investing in staking coin you will have some passive income, and if the price of that coin rise it can be a jackpot (if you save coins you get from staking). Of course, you need to invest a nice amount of money to have some decent passive income. In the same time some coin can be a lot more profitable if it rises exponentially (you just need to be lucky to hit that coin).

The good thing in staking is that you can earn passively (as in literally passive) since you let the money work for you and all you need to do is to wait. However, your success still depends on the future of the project you choose. Plus, a huge initial capital is required here unlike to common crypto investing where you can buy small amounts and make it grow as time goes by.

So if I were asked which is better, I still go for crypto investing not only because of its easier availability but also I feel more secured knowing the fact that I hold and manipulate my own money. Well, It still depends on how far can you take the risk anyway Cheesy

I prefer to stake and investment at the same time because that means both stake and investment can be my additional income in the future, besides my main income source.
But both stake and investment need time before we can make money, and sometimes, we need to wait for a longer time to cash out the profit because the market is not always moving as we want.
If you want to do both stake and investment, you need to have a list of potential coins which can give you the profit, and I admitted that it would not easy to have those list.
We need to analyze one by one of the coins to stake and invest so that we can get the right coins.

Staking doesn't produce anything of value, it's just useless inflation. For every "free" coin you get by staking your portfolio is depreciating by a similar amount (or more, if some other bagholders have masternodes or some other contraption that produces more inflation).

This is wrong on so many levels imo. Is bitcoin mining also useless inflation with no value added? Does uour Bitcoin holding depreciate every 10 minutes when a block is mined? Obviously not. Staking/Masternodes are just a form of mining with a different consensus of course.

First of all, context. OP is asking about staking for profit, not about staking as a consensus mechanism.

Inflation is inflation no matter where it's coming from. Of course every newly minted bitcoin dilutes the value of other bitcoins but the demand is strong enough to maintain the price, i.e. there is value added elsewhere that outweighs the inflation rate (below 2% annual ATM).

I doubt the same can be said about whatever shitcoin the OP is peddling, or most staking shitcoins TBH. Without demand that creates value, staking "profit" - and therefore the OP's question - is useless.

My most important question: Which is better, staking or investing?

Depends on your risk appetite, let's say ETH, it is required that you have 32 Ethereum to participate in staking and became validator, are you willing to shelter out that kind of amount? As compare to investing wherein you can start small and gradually build your portfolio, thus you have total control, you can shift funds around or move your investment in the hottest trend. So there's a lot of cons/pros and nobody can really answer which one is better. For average joe, it's better to go on investing initially, but for whales who have so much money and has deep capital, they can go staking and then investing at the same time.

Doing both is much better, staking is the same as investing so there isn't that much to choose from. In my honest opinion, it would be better if you go all the way investing because this are better in my opinion, if you do not know much about staking and things that you should watch out for then you probably should stick to investing.

Back to the question, if you don't trade/ don't know how to and you are just holding cryptoasset, it's best to stake. Otherwise, trading will always be more profitable. My 2 sats.

With staking, you lock your asset for a certain period and you cannot immediate withdrawal. Some take 7 days after you initiate the request, while some take two weeks. With the investment, you are in control, when you see a nice price movement, you can sell immediately and look another way to invest.

Staking is somewhat has a broad meaning which is closely similar to investing because capital is still needed for it. Better to understand more about staking so you can decide which is the best way to do. Investing is what most of the people do here because they can totally control it especially when they are at losing times.

If you want some real action then choose investing, when you are investing, you have the freedom to move your coins anytime you see an opportunity to buy or sell. Mostly those who are into staking are investors with good amount of capital in their pocket, they do staking and investing at the same time.

You will able to answer this as soon as you understand what staking means. We can't just say "go" and push for it.

Staking might be a simple term but it requires a number of coins. In other words, you will put some investment here that might surprise you about the cost.

Come back here for some questions after you understand the basic knowledge of how staking works.

Staking does not produce any value, investing is not that of a stable.
You better use both to minimize possible losses I guess

In my opinion, investing, especially in cryptocurrencies, carries a very big risk. Therefore, I would not consider this option as a profit

staking needs a lot of capital to verify profits as you need confidence in the platform that they will not deceive you as they will pay all the obligations that they have in short. It needs capital and confidence to succeed and therefore not a good investment method.
YOU SHOULD AVOID IT.
I prefer investing in digital currencies by buying and selling and speculation, you do not need a lot of capital and a lot of profits have been achieved.

And if you will stake, treat that investment as dead money of yours because returns there are not that big.

It depends on what token you stake. Like for example the Harmony(One) token which has a lot of potential to price pump in the future. The Apr of staking Harmony is a whooping 25% and that is huge as a passive investment compared on banks time deposit. When you are lucky, The coin value itself might pump in the future so you can have more gain. The chance of losing on your investment was very low because you have lifeline of 25% on your stake.

The form of staking and investing looks like the same please clarify what kind of investment you will go on it, for me still the investing is one of the most good time right now because some of the market prices of the coins and stocks now falls down and this is a good time to make hold those assets if you are heading towards to make a good market income it is good but if you want to make an investment to their projects to for staking still at the end of the day we want to earn profit which is going for it.

Quote from: boyptc on June 22, 2020, 06:01:41 AM

If you stake, you also invest because you'll buy the coin that you will stake.

And if you will stake, treat that investment as dead money of yours because returns there are not that big.

Tho all the things we are doing into investment is full of risk and not quite sure if we are going to receive a good outcome which is we are going to make an investment to a project does not sure if we are going to win or not still there is a huge market income if you going to success that business.

You invest into someone else and not investing on your own . I think that was risky and you said the returns are not that big enough but I heard this also take a long time . While in the case of investing a crypto you can freely choose a good coin and the coin can pump easily too but Staking is part of the block chain/crypto system so it's better that we both support them and not just support one side . we can invest most of our capital and few of it would be go for staking to help the development of new crypto projects .
