I think staking is better then investing. For staking we will get some token so if price were down then it will reduce loss. One the other hand for investment if price up then you will get profit but if price were down then there has no way to avoid loss. So i think and i believe staking is better then investing.

Yes that's right, staking is of course better than investing, when we are staking then we have done 2 things better than investing, we can get additional income from staking, even if we are staking new coins usually get high APY or APR, of course we also must be able to ensure long-term prospects if we want to stake.

At first, I never support staking at all. To staking, you have to put your money in a 3rd party platform, and it's not in your control anymore. If the coins are not in control, you cannot claim that this is your coins. Things are worst if you start staking on centralized exchanges like Binance. We all know that SEC filed a complaint against Coinbase and Binance. You don't know what will happen to that platform and, most importantly, to your coins. I don't know about harmony at all, and I can say I am not interested to learn more about it because I wouldn't say I like staking.

If you talk about investment; that's far better. But, you have to know where are you putting your money. Of course I won't invest money on MLM business or on a Ponzi scheme to get quick profit.

Even if I am not a person who likes to stake my coins there still is plenty of investors who like to.
70% of $SOL, 70% of $ATOM, 63% of $ADA, 61% of $AVAX, 42% of $DOT, 33% of $ALGO, 16% of $ETH, and 14% of $BNB is all staked.
This is some very big numbers of people who are earning profits from just staking their coins.

Yes, it is true that the amount of profit is a little higher by staking. However, between investing and staking, I prefer staking. By staking, you will get tokens and if the price of tokens increases, then if you calculate the tokens that you will get from staking, it will be much more. There will be more profit. Again, if the price of the token is dumped after staking, then all the tokens obtained from staking should be sold together. One problem in staking is that the tokens cannot be sold until the staking time is over.

Apart from being unable to freely sell your coins when the staking period hasn't ended, there are some other risks, like you need to give your assets to 3rd party, and that's really too risky.

I still use Binance and several other exchanges to convert crypto to fiat and vice versa. But to force me to completely trust and hand over assets of great value like BTC or ETH to them to stake, I really can't trust them. Although investing and holding won't get as high returns as staking, I would choose to invest and hold in my cold wallet than give my assets to someone.

Staking is safer than investing but very small amount of money can be earned by staking. The staking method is like keeping money in a bank. If you keep money in the bank, the same is the case with staking, as the bank uses that money to earn money. When you stake dollars in an exchange, your money will grow with those dollars from various exchanges and they will pay you some interest from that profit, so I think it's better to invest yourself than to keep your money with others and get a small amount of interest. Because if you can invest in time and be patient with investment, it is possible to gain several times more money than stalking.

Can't guarantee with staking is safer than investing because with coins price dropped drastically hasn't enough time for cut loss due rule or unlock from staking take until two days later. Did you remember with UST stable coins price drop drastically? many people stake their money in Luna stable coins or UST in one day drop more than 20%, looks excited with staking in USTC stable coins because they give above 10% APY but when price dropping drastically for staking need time for unlock and holding this stable coins available cut loss without loss more than staking. Not always good ideas with staking coins because when price drop drastically we need time for unlocking coins and that moment make us loss more than profitable earn from staking.

If we only hold bitcoin in the wallet of course we can only profit when the price goes up, but if we use it for staking then we can get additional money, the market trend which is still red like today makes me prefer to use staking, and safer staking is on spot exchanges and activate all security systems.

There's no such as staking for Bitcoin. It's being done by the wallets and the exchanges but in reality, there's no algo for Bitcoin to be staked.
Those that are offering staking for Bitcoin, they're just borrowing it and allowing to lend it to any other service that they're tied up but it doesn't grow as much as we want to think just as the other staking coins because bitcoin is a proof of work and not a proof of stake consensus algo.

Well I agree that staking is more safer then trading. In the past I did stake my alt coins on Binance. But now I do not keep any of my coins on the exchanges. It is too much of a risk with all this news going on with exchanges.

Yes the rewards are easy to get for not doing anything. But you might be able to earn more profit if you buy the coins instead of lock them up in staking. Now we are in a 'bearish' trend with the markets, I would not stake my coins but use my fiat to buy cheaper coins as investment and hope they earn me faster profits when the 'bull market' starts.

The level of risk will affect the possibility of profit, if we take a large risk, there will also be a large chance of getting profit, and vice versa, like trading, the risk is indeed high but the possibility of profit is also greater.
However, everything returns to our knowledge, right now the market is indeed bearish but no one knows for sure how far this correction will occur.
What is certain is that we have our own beliefs and ways to take profits, I think everything is correct and it will be profitable if it runs well. So far, I am still happy investing in top coins. will recover, like what has happened in the past.

Staking can be considered safer than trading, but if more bitcoins could be easily generated by staking without risk, people would not easily dismiss such. Staking means you must trust a centralized platform, and your bitcoins are controlled under their supervision. If you choose the wrong person to trust, you will lose everything, which is the risk of stake. I would choose to invest over stake, I can't trust anyone, especially centralized platforms, they are worse than banks, and if they crash, our bitcoins will be gone too.

The choice between staking and investing depends on individual circumstances and goals. It may be wise to do thorough research before making any investment decision. Staking involves holding certain amount of crypto currency in a wallet to support the network and receive rewards, This can be a relatively low risk way to earn passive income, as long as the underlying crypto currency remain stable. Staking does require some technical knowledge and may not be suitable for those who prefer a more hands-off approach. Investing on the other hand typically involves buying assets such as stocks, bonds or crypto currencies with the expectation of earning a profit over time. This can be a higher risk strategy as market volatility can result in significant losses. Investing can also offer potentially higher returns than staking, especially over the long term.

It depends on a person's ability in which field he performs better but I think that investment will be more successful if you choose a well known coin that has the possibility to reach a higher value but once a person choose coin that is not a stable coin then investment does not guarantees success.

I will always give priority to investment because in investment people have to overcome risk by patience during harsh days. And also for staking you have to hold some coins and success mostly depends on coins so it will be better to initiate investment instead of involving in activities like staking.

Investing seems best to me than staking.Because stacking is for a long time and investing is for a short time.
So I will give more priority to investment but again investment is of two types long term and short term.I bought some coins a few days back and invested for a short period of time and then sold them again it was a short term investment.

A market that is still red like now makes us have to get additional income, if we sell at the current price of course we will lose money and the best advice is to hold and use it for staking, some exchanges provide good and promising APR or APY, if we have a long-term hold plan long then it's better to use it for staking.

Currently, the market situation is not fully reliable for us to invest, as you said that with the price we are selling at this time, of course, many coins are declining and losses will definitely be felt if we are panicked by the declining market conditions, then the best thing for us to do now is to staking because currently many coins already offer staking and this we can rely on during the market is declining.

indeed the situation has not fully improved, continuing to buy is something that is highly recommended while waiting for the moment when the market will recover. after that it is also possible to stake, although in my opinion it is not very profitable but compared to keeping the assets we have in the wallet of course the staking option at least helps provide additional. but indeed you have to be careful to choose where staking should be done, because many are holding it but you have to analyze it well before staking.

Staking option is better if you really believe that the asset that you are holding will pump along the way.

The potential to earn more while holding because of the staking rewards and the amount of the price when pump take place will
give you decent benefits, more on how you do your research and how you assess the possibilities that the asset will move up
when bull trigger the entire market.

Staking and holding is almost the same since the both is all about holding the coin and waiting when the market will appreciate in price. Although the difference is that holding our own coin gives us dominion to do whatever we want to do with the coin but in the case of staking, weay not have access to our coins depending on how long we intended to stake them.

If we know we don't have any intention to sell the coin for over a long time, we can choose to stake it for like a year or more so that we can be rewarded with high APY that would give us extra profits as we keep holding. We all have the choiceto decide what and how we want to stake our coins.

Currently many coins already offer staking and for me this will also help us to be able to get profits later, and better when compared to investing long-term, especially the declining market conditions so staking is the main choice even though I used to invest long-term if the market was declining but with staking then this will be more interesting for us to try, And I'm sure it will be more profitable even if there are some rules applied but trying is a very important thing.

Placing our assets in staking on one of the exchanges that we trust might indeed be able to bring a pretty good profit. But of course we also have to take into account the price reduction that occurs in the coin that we are staking. Sometimes the percentage of profit cannot cover the amount of price reduction that occurs in the coins that we are staking. if it's about bitcoin or ethereum then maybe it will be ok. But for other altcoins that are even new it is better to avoid it. as many have experienced declines of more than 90% in even one year. imagine if we only take about 50% of staking profits per year but the coin itself has decreased by about 90% then we still lose 40%. And Staking means that assets are not in our control because we have entrusted them in the hands of other people, namely the Exchange. and that's the biggest risk.
