Do you guys ever hear about holding bitcoin in staking platform?

If yes, can you give any advice to stake bitcoin on staking platform?

I've been asking for many times about it, but I need proof experience of you. Please share below!

If the project is promising and has a potential then staking is the better option because you are hodling their tokens while at the same time earning out of it, but if in general hodling is the best strategy although the profit you will get out of it is what you are currently hodling.

There is no staking for Bitcoin, and using any centralized services like bitgo is custodial service that can earn small interest but you are giving away ownership of your coins,
you need to trust some third party service to keep your coins safe, then you need to pass some kyc verification, send your documentation and gave up your privacy after you link your address with your identity.
Holding is much less risky and history showed that it pays off if you do it correctly with some cold storage or hardware wallet.

Bitcoin is POW not POS and since the protocol does not support staking this means that you are using a central service that holds Bitcoin or an investment in return for giving you a monthly or annual return.
It is extremely dangerous because you need to trust a third party to manage your private key.
Therefore, if you want to get decentralized staking you must exchange your bitcoin to good POS coin.

Just like what dkbit98 mentioned, OP probably meant parking Bitcoin in some interest/ custodial account or the exchange versus the traditional cold wallet.

For the interest part, try to avoid exchange as they are a prime target compared to other custodial wallets which are at least insured and less likely to be attacked.

Just remember that either are not foolproof (exclude the cold wallet).

Do you mean that you deposit your Bitcoin to a certain platform and let the owner of that particular platform controls your Bitcoin,  and then they will give you a certain interest for it? To be honest, I don't hear anything like that. Or maybe, no one could afford to store their Bitcoin and let someone controls it. It finds riskier than trading and that also prone to an inside job.

If that you will be asked again, better to tell them straight that it was not a good idea and that is not advisable.

Bitcoin is not a staking platform. If you hold bitcoin in any wallet then you can't get profit via staking. But if you invest or hold your Bitcoin in such wallet there the wallet authority ensure about staking. Then you can get profit. But in my eyes i think there is no such kind of wallet. If you find any then never trust them easily. Do research and then take decision.
But i see a staking platform where you get bitcoin by staking there coin. You need to hold their coin for this. Here is the website link: betfury.io (http://betfury.io)

for bitcoin , there is no staking possibility because its not programmed for it. any platform offering staking means you will hand over your coin to them and you earn as well but you dont have control over your coins. the platform can do what they like if its trusted or have bad intentions. i would rather hold my bitcoin to be on a safer side.

In essence, staking is also a form of hold, but with an additional profit. Hold will simply be kept in the wallet and make no profit at all.
The risk of hold is the project stops growing and the value of the crypto you hold will decrease in value or lose value.
Taking the risk of taking as well as holding the project is stopping development, there is an additional risk of the staking protocol's fault that you could lose your money you spend.

You can stake any of your crypto to gain more crypto. I don't so much do staking itself much but depending on the platform, in my case Binance I lock my funds for the interest rate. It is not a  huge amount but for long-term holding it works out fine. You'll have to go to Binance Earn section to select your options.

Obviously staking is good because you get a little interest from a certain period of time while you do nothing, just waiting, in hodling, you'll just let your Bitcoin sleep in your wallet doing nothing at all. The only disadvantage I see in staking is if they would lock your deposit from a certain period of time before you could withdraw it (correct me if I'm wrong) and if you need the money, there's nothing you can do about it but to borrow money from your friend.

Staking your Bitcoin on Binance will be safe as this is a good, reputable exchange for many years. The biggest risk is either Binance being hacked and robbed of all their money or Binance scams.
Hold Bitcoin will not be as profitable as staking but will ensure your Bitcoin is always under your control.

In fact, staking is not safe. In the case of staking, the user does not have control over the coin in the wallet. For this reason, staking coin is less secured. I would never prefer staking Bitcoin if anyone wanted to invest for the long term.
Bitcoin Hodling is much safer and more profitable when it comes to security. Hodling may not increase the quantity of your coin but you will benefit as the price of Bitcoin continues to rise.

It depends on how much money you want to make and how much time you want to make a profit. It varies according to the purpose of the person.

As everyone said, it is not suggested or safe to give ownership of your coins to anyone else. But now we live in a time where people have to use centralized exchanges in order to trade and store their assets. Binance gives 1.2% APY for staking your BTC, and if you want you can stake other cryptos for better returns. If you are really into staking then I would suggest you to buy coins like WAVES or SWTH where you have to delegate the coins from your own address and get the rewards.

I personally use Binance exchange for staking. I don't prefer DeFi staking as the projects in there have a high risk and they aren't under the control and safety of Binance. It is just showcasing them there. I prefer staking on the projects which are in the Launchpad section. Anyway, staking is a good thing as you can make a really good profit depending on the quality of a project. But each of these projects doesn't exist for a very long time. And you can't claim too many rewards as long as you don't stake a good amount of money on it. For this reason, I see buying Bitcoin (e.g.) and HODLing it as being much more profitable in the long run.

I thought that there is no staking for Bitcoin since it is a POW not POS,
But thanks to this thread now I know that we could stake any crypto through Binance,
And I think it is great since Binance is one of the most trusted exchange right now,
If you just plan on holding it for a long term then it would be better to earn while holding it through Staking.

The HODL strategy is always an option, but it requires a lot of patience to get bigger profits.

Staking can also generate 2 benefits. Staking will reward you in the form of coins that you staked within a specified time frame. But you have to be careful choosing a staking platform. Currently, many staking platforms have sprung up, especially on the Binance Smart chain staking platform. Staking can be done easily using BNB coins or other BSC coins.

The more capital you have, the more profit you will generate.

Staking is always better than just plain holding but the risk involve is much greater since you are not holding your BTC but rather the third party staking platform.  You must verify first how legit is that staking platform service.  Check whether there is no possibility for that platform to exit scam their client. See if the BTC isn't lock for certain period of time (option to withdraw your staking BTC anytime is the best one).  I have tried the service of Yobit for BTC staking (something they called investbox but I wouldn't recommend that you invest on it) and it really gives a nice return.

risking bitcoin for other altcoins? isn't that too much. although it looks comparable to what it gets. but I will choose to store Bitcoin. because as far as I'm concerned, haven't found an exchange that runs Bitcoin betting. maybe for those of you who feel you can share with me.

You're way better hodling or staking for yourself.

For the latter, you should pick coins that are actually valuable; one that can actually appreciate in value over time and not just one time, big time released coins that would be left to the dust by the developers after it goes live on exchanges.

For bitcoin, you need not the help of "staking platforms" in order to keep your coins and let it work for you. It appreciates in value over time (for most of the time), and assuming you are here for the long term, you will be getting a lot of $ in the future if you just let your coins sit on your wallet. By doing so, you do not run the risk of having your coins be taken away from you due to unforeseen hacks that exchanges face every now and then.

Staking is not for everyone. If I remember correctly I do think that you do need a minimum balance to do that. Therefore people without that minimum about of bitcoins cannot participate in that section entirely.

Now when we are talking about Holding, ofc even if you have 1$ or 1000$ you can hold without any regulations wherever you want. I do find that even though staking does give you a considerable amount of money but it's not even comparable to what you would earn though holding bitcoins.

Due to the fluidity and fluctuations in the market recently, I would definitely go for holding for short term and then again buying, which inturn would convert into holding for the long term. The profits I would earn I would continue to put in btc and hold for 2-3 years only to buy again! Well then again it's a personal choice.

Staking is best imo, with Staking you stand a chance to earn more reward from the staked token, whereas, when holding you don't get extra reward for HODling your wallet balance will remain same from the beginning to end of HODling,
Staking is another way of earning passive income if you have a good amount to stake and depending on the Staking benefit of the project.

Pretty much aware about stake and this had been some interesting stuff but mostly for noobs who do mind off about some easy money or passive income but if we do know on how to make out some
calculations then its no question that you would find these things to be not appealing at all.

Yeah you can stake out some bitcoins into other platforms but the question is, would you be willing to store up those coins of a long time lock-in period?
Always take consideration that you would leave those coins in the hands of the platform which means you dont have the keys in case they become
scam then say goodbye to your coins.

Also, if we do talk about price increase in percentage per year then simply holding your coins would already give out that probability.

They are attracting you to deposit bitcoin to exchanges and have it on their platform being staked but it's not really staking. You lend it to them.
But what if they get hacked and they announce and most deposits can no longer be refunded because all of them are affected?
Just HODL it without any problem if it's for bitcoin and for some reputable wallets, allows you to stake altcoins.

Well, if this staking or even holding were involved the third party to hold your fund, that is not a good idea. You can not trust anyone to hold your fund except you, you can hold and stake at your own. Holding at yourself and staking it at the same time, you will make a profit on it. Holding your volatile asset is the safest way to gain profit, but the problem is, there is no time frame when you have your own profit.
There are too many staking projects as of now but I won't trust new projects to diversify my bitcoin.

Better hold on yourself and make gains in the convenience of your own wallet and having the confidence that you wont be losing your coins as long you do keep your PK safe.
When staking then you do need to deposit those coins into third party which i dont see for it to be worth for the risk on just gaining a little amount on a specific time.
Just like what others mention then i would rather held it to myself than to risk it because you are aiming for some penny gains in a years time.
It isnt worth and better hold it off into your own wallet and earn for yourself where you can pull those profits anytime.

I never heard that there is a platform that offer staking bitcoin. Just some altcoin that can offer staking feature and most of them using ETH blockchain. Bitcoin can only be used as an investment place it means a holding place or trading place. You can use hardware wallet as your holding strategy and you can choose an exchange as a place for trading.

And if I compare the return for staking feature and holding bitcoin then I'll be prefer to choose holding bitcoin. Yeah, that is a promissing strategy than other strategy, especially when you hold it for long term investment and you bought it at the very low price then yeah the profit that you will be high as well.

HODLing is always a "go-for-it" thing for me. I don't think that staking would be more profitable than HODLing in the long run. Because the projects for staking are not always good. You accumulate tokens of a project but if it turns out to be a worthless one, then all of the staking thing will be in vain.

Yes, not staking but just like in Binance, you can transfer your btc to flexible savings, so it is earning interest on their platform. However, if you will send your funds to gain interest, make sure the platform is very trustworthy like binance. Because even if they will be hacked, they have SAFU. So you have insurance with your funds. Other exchanges offering this kind of service, you need to be careful as you have no assurance that your funds will be returned safely once you decided to get out your funds or someone hacked their platform.

staking can be an alternative to getting passive income from crypto. By staking it means that we are also holding on to third party platforms or wallets and cannot use them for a certain period. if you choose this method we must really choose a trusted platform because we indirectly entrust assets there.
while holding is safer because we store it in our wallets, without a third party, but we don't get "interest".
both have advantages and disadvantages, if the platform is trustworthy then it can be a good choice.

Hodling and Staking are both effective strategies to earn cryptos. Both works very well but, the degree of freedom and level of increase on the amount of bitcoin being used for either purpose aren't the same.

Hodling and Staking are very similar in the sense that, both involves you stalking coin for sometime. While, price is left to act on its valu. In,

Hodling: you stalk your coins without any restrictions, no lomitation as to how long and it could be done either in a custodial wallet or non custodial wallet depending on where your coin is stalked.

In Staking, its usually done using a custodial wallet and there are degrees of freedom to it. Your coin  would be locked for a defined period of time and won't be released until the time agreed upon meanwhile, your given some percentage as incentive on your staked coin. Mean while, price is still left to play its part on the coin value.

The dangers to it:

Staking limits your rights to withdrawal of your staked
Staking exposes you to same threat as the custodial wallet itself

Hodling, your at liberty to do as you please with your token
The only threat here is your personal activities and exposure of privacy details.

Edge to one over the other

Staking combines both price and interest on staked coins to add to its value while,
Hodling depends only on market price for its value
Hodling gives you complete control over stalked coin while,
Staking gives you limited access based on agreed or locked period.

Neither you need to trust them. Because for me, I don't after such pity amount to gain from staking compared to the risk and the possible amount that you able to lose if there is something bad will happen. If we wanted to grow our money with less risk, much better to invest it in conventional business or in real estate in which we are in the fullest control of our money.

Staking and hodl are very different things. While hodl, you invest money in something that has value, keep it for a while to be valued, you believe it will be valued. Staking is yet to be struggling for something worthless. and it's totally like a surprise egg.

Staking is a good way to make some money while hodling something although that really depends if the project is a worthwhile endeavor to stake in so you are right by comparing staking to a surprise, you never know what you may get but you know that when it is a positive one, it is going to be a big one.

All the exchanges that got hacked and died or scammed their users and ran away were very trustworthy at the time and people were using them a lot. If you could find the historical ranking of exchanges the top 5 with massive volumes change every couple of years.

Staking is profitable but there is a risk that you will lose money when the protocol in which you are staking the property is attacked. Staking Bitcoin in DEFI or CEFI is risky so it's best to hold your Bitcoin yourself. The profit from staking just a few percent is not worth risking your entire money.

Staking is like holding but earning a profit or a token that will have a market value in the future. It may be annually or monthly depends on the terms of the project you were staking at but make sure that the project is promising and legit at the same time. Staking is good like you'll earn a reward in a form of a token or something while doing nothing at all.

Never heard of one. You could just be better of mining if you're looking for the same thing, but investing in your own rig could prove quite costly.

Hodl strategy is your safe strategy without risking of losing your capital.

There is still day trading if you're curious as well, but  I wouldn't suggest taking that strategy as a newbie though.

In layman term, Staking is locking your coin into a smart contract and received a reward for holding. Simply holding with reward. In staking, You can't move your token immediately for a period of time which is the common cons of staking to limit the user on dumping. Staking is much better than plain hodling alone since you don't have any interest earned compared to staking while you are doing same way.

Just forget about risking your coins by trusting a third party. We are here in the cryptocurrency market so that we do not need to trust a third party in holding our coins and there is no point in risking all your coins for a few coins and we have seen many exchanges dying in front of our eyes loosing billions of dollars worth of coins in the short period and anyone with sense will not risk doing that.

That said i have staked coins in the past but it wont be huge amounts and i will never trade bitcoin for other coins no matter how profit a third party is willing to provide.

Youre not going to consider holding Bitcoin as if it's staking when the bear market begins. I don't think you will be earning satoshis by just holding. If you intend to earn something while you stake then you just have to pick an altcoin not BTC.

There are hundreds of these POS tokens you can choose from, two of the top ones are ADA and Polkadot. Learn more about their staking terms though, there is a catch to it.

I think staking, Because, You will get staking reward and staking also a type of hold. If you hold a coin in your wallet, Then you have to wait for price increase. If increase, Then you will get profit from one side.
And if you stake a coin, You will get profit from two side. One is staking reward and one for increasing price of that coin.

You can't stake Bitcoin, only mine it. Bitcoin is PoW.

     I myself, never heard of anything regarding things like bitcoin staking let alone a platform that offers such service for bitcoins. But if you mean alts, then there are quite a few out there which are quite good. Staking will always win if you make people choose since you gain a lot more with staking than by just hodling. But still, it depends on the platform and the coin itself that you are staking which is why a thorough research about your investments or investment plans is a must. Good luck op.

The thing is when we do stake our coin on the third-party platform, we lose access to the address unless given permission by the staking platform.  The risk of losing our Bitcoin is much greater than just plain holding it.  In terms of profit, Staking is a better strategy but in terms of security, holding is the better one.

Yes, just as said, it's like you lend it to them. That's true, if you're going to go with this type of feature, choosing the best platform that has a good track record and very reliable.
Binance has been tested by a hack and they've refunded the funds and made sure that no one was affected.

If they make staking possible on non-custodial wallets it's going to be a good idea to stake some. If you have to put it on some platform where they can do with your coins whatever they like then it's only for those willing to risk a lot to gain a little. Are you one of those people?

When you hold you have full security of your funds and they gain some value over time. For now it's probably over 100% a year if you look at the last 10 years of bitcoin.
Staking on a private platform will give you additional 10% a year but at a risk of losing everything. Is 100% a year better or maybe you prefer a coin toss at 110% or nothing?

I like both crypto investment alternatives Hodl and Staking. There are other ways to earn in crypto that I have not yet ventured as they say is the future of decentralized banking, DeFi.
IMO, it was a quick response to investors benefiting both parties to projects and coins as well as holders.
It is definitely better to invest in crypto than to leave the money in the bank.

Hold or staking both are suitable but I prefer staking  rather than hold . If you want to invest in Ethereum and bitcoin then you should keep it with apy% in different staking period. You can get benifits and Profits if market continuing to improve.

When you are staking aren't you sending your coin to a pool or something which means you have not control over the coin unless you withdrawing it. There are no staking for Bitcoin, if you hold the key, you are the owner of the coin. However for some altcoin those have staking rewards are might look good that you are earning some money but it's still risky because untill the coins are back to your own wallet you actually do not own the coins.

If you are in bitcoin then just hold!

In bitcoin there are no staking. It's proof of work. Maybe you are talking about ETH. I guess it's minimum 32 ETH.

The main reason you probably liked buying or acquiring Bitcoin is because of it's decentralized nature and the way it has gained value over the past 10 years. Now why would you throw up the two good things about bitcoin in exchange for very little APY and the risk of storing it in a centralized staking platform?

I don't think staking is a smart move. Buy Bitcoin dip and sell whenever the price is high and see if you will remain the same person thinking about staking.

Partly yes, unless if we are staking to the banks. But since we are in crypto, I agree that holding is the best option especially when we are aiming for a long-term investment. Not only we got get assurance for a profit by holding but it also lessens the risk since we are in control of our funds, which will be an advantage.

---

@OP, you should think about the risk to both of them. I suggest that not only consider the amount you get but think about which one good gives you safety coz I know that all of these strategies give you a profit.

I agree. I have tried staking before. I got attracted because the coin price rises from its very low price up to $60 I  think (can't exactly remember). After I bought the price keeps going down so as the price of Bitcoin. I keep calm then I keep on staking, I think my staking last for a year until I finally can't open the website anymore. I lost all the coins and earnings I've got on staking. I know it is also my fault because I did not pay attention to it  that is why I missed selling it before it's too late.
Hodling is good but you need patience for it.

Hodl and staking, they are related to your investment plans. Don't lock your coins in pools and stake or farm it if you don't have plans that when you will take profits.

Staking or farming will increase numbers of coins you have but price can soar or plummet in the time you lock your coins in pools.

If price soars and reaches the target price at which you plan to take profit, you can sacrifice your rewards from staking, farming and take profit with initial coins.

If price plummets, you must hold your coins (initial and rewarded) and wait for rally or new high prices to take profits.

Sum up: Plans, time and patience are elements.

The definition of holding (or flying a hold) in aviation field means some manoeuvres of aircraft before the landing. Incoming aircraft must sometimes be stacked when an aircraft which has arrived at their destination but cannot land yet because of the traffic congestion, poor weather, or runway unavailability

agree, if what will be done is staking and indeed the coins are indeed potential because what you get from staking is quite irresistible. but if there is no potential coin, the fear is that on the way we may not know what will happen to the coins we staked.

I also agree with you, it's better if you just keep it in your wallet waiting if the coin is in trouble, we can take quicker action so as not to get a big loss. but it is indeed better to do day trading which is currently really profitable because bitcoin is in a very active movement.

I wanted to stake some coins too, the problem is that I am still hodling my bitcoin and I don't want to spend it yet because if I want to stake, I should at the least get a decent amount in it so I can get bigger profits.

in principle, both are actually quite good and very profitable, it's just a matter of how we can be more sure whether they are both good. it could be that the funds we have are divided in half for Hold and Staking. if the funds are not a lot maybe staking is better, but there is always a risk but if hold is clear there is nothing to be afraid of because in time it will increase more than we hold it.

If bitcoin is clear that everything is very profitable, it's just a matter of minimizing the risk that we will get, because holding bitcoin for a long period of time (halving every 4 years) actually requires large funds which we need because of the long period of time, but it can be done in a different way. staking or day trading, which may be risky but with clear hold there is no risk and new ATH will always be formed

this proves that you are not really into something that you will believing because asking many times yet not contented in the answers meaning you will never be satisfied.
remember that the longer you are asking is the lessen chances to make money you gain.
just forget staking instead Buy and Hold.
but if you are truly interested , Binance is offering multiple staking just visit and create account https://www.binance.com/en/my/wallet/account/main so you'll find what you might got interested.

Yes, I heard that, especially in the exchange because Binance uses it to attract their members to earn some satoshi. I suggest you not use too big satoshi to staking your bitcoin, especially if you can not wait for some time to get decent rewards. You can use the other things to earn more satoshis. You can try it by yourself to know more about bitcoin staking. You can also use Cro wallet to staking your bitcoin.

Staking's much better because if I am right, you're also hodling there but the only difference is that you're making some profit while still hodling so I think that it's much better than hodling although if you're on a safe play stance then you will probably want to go to the hodling route.

For what i know when it comes staking you can get massive profits as well but it depends what are the percentage where did you stake your money, correct me if i'm because i dont have any experience in such way to be honest wherein i just saw it in youtube when someone staking from another platform. But if it's true and i will choose which is the best way, perhaps the most profitable is holding because you can obtain a masive return especially the coin you pick to hold is keep surging and breaking all time high values . And by the way i remember that the percentage of profits from staking is just estimated and they said that there's a changes depends the situation..

There is no direct staking when it regards to Bitcoin but there are some apps that are giving you yearly dividends just by putting your Bitcoins into their app.
Apps such as Crypto.com, Nexo, BlockFi are some of them. They are quite legit TBH but there is this risk still because anytime they can just run away with your money. I'm not saying that they are doing it but there is still a 0.0001% chance if they want to. I'm holding Bitcoin but I'm not staking it into these apps.

Now when it comes to HODL vs. staking, why not do both :).
You can HODL some of the top coins out there like BNB, ETH, ADA and many more and while holding it, you can stake it in their respective platforms to gain some profits annually. I personally like Staking and I'm staking some coins but there are some of my coins that are just holding it and not staking.

It will depend on the project or coin we are staking. It is good to have options though. Whether to stake or just to hold. I also do staking sometimes but if Im not sure yet I prefer to hold it or when I see some friends who already stake in it I tried to do it on a limited time only.

How can you exactly know when you're going to sell your bitcoin, it's not like there's a warning that it's the highest peak for a certain period of time so it's difficult to know when to sell, the best thing that we should do is to know when you're going to sell those bitcoin. I am not familiar with staking though so I am more on hodling.

you asked many times and yet didnt get a direct answer  ? but i think i can also respond the same because i believe that staking may not work in btc .
staking may not also work in majority of altcoins but staking coins can be available only to some specific altcoins and tokens .
 if you have a btc theres no need to deposit it somewhere because that is risky but holding it alone can already give you profits .

just imagine that:

1 - doing hodl means you are in full control of your money and you can withdraw anytime you need

2 - Staking, you are not in total control of your money, imagine that you need money urgently and try to withdraw but the site does not accept withdraw or disappears?

the best strategy and safer is without a doubt do hodl

Not safe. Even if its a very well known platform, it is still not safe. You give away your bitcoins to those platform and in return they give you a very small interest/profit. Not worth the risk at all. Remember, not your keys, not your coins. If the platform ever gets hacked, you will lose all your coins. When the platform is out of service, you won't be able to access your coins. If you still want to stake, then look at ADA (Cardano). Its easy to stake cardano using Daedalus or Yoroi wallet (this one is light weight, browser extension).

Definitely, and you are in charge of your own coin because you are holding it and anytime when you see it pump, you can sell it. Staking is like putting your money in the bank and you don't control it anymore as you have to put it in their platform. Also, there's no assurance that the despite you earn more coins due to staking, its value will also rise in the long run, so better hold legit coins that you believe on its potential than staking it.

I think you are a little bit mistaken. When you hold coin, it means that you just hold it in your own wallet or on exchange and when you stack them, it means that you add your coins in the pool and just wait for the reward while holding at the same time. I.E. the difference is that in first case you just hold and on second one - you hold + get additional reward.

For example, Binance has Launchpad platform where you can stake your coins like BUSD, BNB and get reward every hour + you are able to withdraw your coins anytime you wish. There are also locked stacking and DeFi stackings. You can find more information there - https://www.binance.com/en/pos

Well, in my opinion, --there are disadvantages and advantages to this.
Of course, don't stake on the exchange that does not have the credibility to hold your coins which means you can be assured that your fund is safe.
The number of your bitcoin will not grow if you are holding on to it while in staking, it will grow. But yes, it is good if you will hold your own coin and you have full control over it, and all you have to do is wait when the value will increase so that you can take your profit easily.

both have advantages. i have experience in both since 2017 i have been staking some tokens i have.  one thing that i have regret in staking is that it could take days before you can unstake your holdings and then you can not sell when it's the best time to sell.

if i have to compare my earnings from trading than staking, trading could have given me more money. it's way more advantageous looking that way and hone my trading skills.

Of course I would rather choose staking as when you are just holding you earn only on changing of price, but when you are staking you are also getting interests. On the other hand, you can't’ trust all platforms. That is why you should deposit your Bitcoin only on platforms that have a big TVL and are familiar to everybody. If you don't like risks you should continue holding.

what is the difference of staking and holding ? lol you need to hold when you stake your funds so if you handle holding then you can also handle staking.
thjis only proves that you are just shitting here lol.

The way I understand it, both strategies are pretty similar except that staking offers you a profit in terms of the number of tokens while hodling usually means you are patiently waiting for the price of the token to naturally increase due to actions on the market. It is important to emphasize that hodling usually works only with cryptocurrencies that have proven many times their ability to resist any kinds of attacks, for example, cyber attack, 51% attack, FUD, an attack from hostile regulators. The only cryptocurrency I can think of, that, so far, has been resilient to everything I enumerated above is Bitcoin. Therefore, when people ask what the better strategy is, they usually mean they haven't yet decided whether they want to hodl a strong cryptocurrency such as bitcoin or take a risk to stake a cryptocurrency that haven't proved nothing. Anyway, the vast majority of altcoins (99.999%) are centralized, being run by a team of founders, which means you can't really hodl them because you can be easily deprived of your currency or, they can gradually debase it via uncontrolled inflation, which essentially makes hodling useless.

Crypto staking is the activity of earning passive income from crypto assets without being exposed to the direct risks, which usually arise when trading. However, crypto asset collectors rarely realize that crypto staking can be done on various platforms such as Staking Services, cold wallets, DeFi and so on. For those who have large capital of course this is very good because the factor that makes staking effective is the amount of crypto owned.

There's still risk when the value of your chosen coin decreased, it's passive in terms of the asset since it's gaining staking rewards.
It's up to your good research where to place your investment. Always trust your own insticnt when you are dealing in this business.
Good point! staking rewards demands high amount of investment when you are really aiming to earned decent amount of money.

I never know that there is staking in Bitcoin. Maybe what you mean is minning or investing. But I will try to explain my strategy. Usually I only holding bitcoin, based on my experience I holding bitcoin for 3-6 month before I sell it. I wait the bullish market trend then sell my BTC usually I can get more than 300%, so it's depend on the price fluctuation. If what you mean by staking is investing for long term then I will looking for investment where I can withdraw my btc after 3-6 month. So I buy btc at bearish market then invest it for 3-6 month, when it is close to bullish market then I will withdraw it. The problem is it is not easy to find trusted company, but if the company is legalized by governments then it is okay. Investing our btc means that we loss our control of our btc, so trusted company is the most important thing.

But the problem in staking is how to find a safe place to make it done , because there are offers in which in the end comes out becoming scams and all your hard earned finds will gone nothing.
and just can be done in exchange we trust for long like Binance and other legit one.

Delegating would be the best option. Noncustodial and you keep control of your funds at all times.

The better strategy to profit is Staking . HODL only denotes speculation and have a higher risk. There are more blockchain applications that are into proof-of-staking consensus algorithm. Staking has evolved to more interesting concepts like yield farming and liquidity mining. These are Defi implementations that can have a big impact in the world of finance.

Everybody has their own strategies. There is no certain thing like HODL is better than staking or vice versa. However, my choice is always to HODL in this case. Because to make a lot of money in staking, you need to stake a very high amount of money. Otherwise, you would get nearly nothing. But it is not the same for HODLing. Of course, the more the money, the more your profit becomes. But after HODLing for a long time, you can have a chance to double, triple etc. your investment. This is so profitable way for me.

HODL and STAKING are different strategies used to get higher ROI. Each strategy has its own fundamentals which make them more beneficial to crypto enthusiasts.

HOLDing requires a certain amount of funds in the wallet which gives returns after only price increases.

Rather in staking users have to stake a certain amount of particular tokens according to minimum requirements, which generate tokens for investors, which can be traded to receive profits.

Nowadays Yield Farming and Staking are growing exponentially in the DEFI space.

With staking you are guaranteed a certain amount of earning in a timely manner (however how small it is) depending on the offer period, holding on the other hand don't attract any timely earnings, rather you need to exercise patience for your target price to hit before selling, they are both different and subjective to different people.

My view is that both Hodl and staking are very important bridge-building methods for market returns.  Staking is somewhat advantageous to the trend this year but I am biased and prefer hodl.  Hodl is still the most basic to give a good advantage.
The most important thing for staking is a suitable and reliable platform.  I cannot trust CEX to bet long term.  Defi is good but the risk is still quite big, like Rune happened

Staking is another way to earn passive income while holding your coin. You need to know that not all crypto that do staking. Some does do staking so you need to do appropriate research on cryptocurrency that conduct staking for there investing to earn while holding. Staking can also be dangerous cause if eventually the site got hacked, all coins will be lost leading to bad luck that's why we should not put all our eggs in one basket.

No doubt, active investment (staking) is better than passive investment (hodl) but there are problems with active investments. You need to ensure that the website or platform that's staking the coins for you is not a Ponzi or some other kind of scam. There's technically no way to stake Bitcoins but there are sites offering interest on your holdings. If I'm not wrong, crypto(.com) does something like that.

I don't really understand the logic of earning a few extra dollars on your precious Bitcoins when you can just lock them in a safe wallet and avoid getting scammed. I haven't been into staking much but from what I understand, if you stake your coins, you don't have the private keys under your control. No keys mean you technically don't own the coins.

I think both are good. Staking will increase the number of our coins, but it is bound by the time of the agreement, so we cannot sell it at any time. different from holding, where we can sell it at any time but the coins do not increase. and the advantage is that when the price rallies, we can immediately sell it without being bound by time

Holds and stakes are the same.
If you are not adventurous, you have always held it. Holding will also benefit.
You have good investment ideas and skills, and you can make bets. In this way, you will gain more, but you must also have the courage to take risks.
Not every bet will win.

I stake coins within the Exodus wallet and seems pretty safe but I cannot recommend anyone else to do the same because while I have a small number of coins I am staking, I don't want people to stake huge amounts. You cannot stake bitcoins either in the exodus wallet so it doesn't matter too much for bitcoin investors. To me, the logic is simple. If you have a mammoth amount of holdings, just hold them tight. If you have small amounts and not looking for future value, just stake them and earn some free extra coins.

Have you ever heard of phantom, a pretty prominent name in today's cryptocurrency projects, with a strong development team and very good strategy, I am sure this project will be very successful in the future.  hybrid

Phantom is a DeFi platform with a Cross-chain protocol, allowing the creation of synthetic assets (Synthetic assets), denoted pAsset in a decentralized manner.

 Phantom users can generate pAssets through depositing collateral, opening positions, and then generating corresponding pAssets that mimic the behavior of real-world asset prices (commodities, stocks, etc.)
This way, traders around the world can trade an asset on the blockchain with open and transparent pricing.  In essence, pAssets allow traders to participate in assets without actually owning them.

I have some small amounts of several coins in my wallet but i dont tend to make out some staking and i would rather prefer on gaining up some profits in just holding it rather than getting APY which isnt
really worth the risk.

Well, we do have different mindset or approach towards staking but ever since i dont really find out for this thing to be interesting nor really worth but surprisingly there are people who
do really consider on dealing with these.

Choosing in between two then its up to someone on how much risk they could handle out.

Staking? Where did you get that from? If you buy or have some Bitcoin, do not fall for any scam in the name of staking to earn more. Hodl it and hodl it safely and wisely. I have never seen any staking in BTC let alone one that won't scam you. Be careful out there. So many people want your money.

Right now if i am investing in good coins especially Bitcoin then all you need to learn is to Hold rather to make a good profit than staking. Majority of the staking pair are ETH USDT and so on. Hardly we see BTC as staking or liquidity pair and i never thought much about that why that is the case when they have ETH but not Bitcoin.

I wouldn't say staking is worse than holding, because depending on us which one is more comfortable to use staking or holding. Because both are
good enough to make money, but I like you, prefer to focus on holding Bitcoin over staking altcoins. I feel more comfortable when holding Bitcoin,
after all I am used to buying Bitcoin regularly every month. So indeed holding Bitcoin is my way of making money for now.

Staking is better idea to earn while holding, but staking will obstruct your will if suddenly you need it.
As i know, theres two rules of staking, flexible, and fixed staking, the flexible staking will allow you to unstake anytime you want (with recount of reward) and fixed staking never allow you to take it when its not yet due date.
If you decide to stake your coin, you must have mature estimate before deciding to stake your coin on, so thinking before act really need.

I choose hold, for me personally hold is one way to multiply money. i hold bitcoin and i keep it on binance if i sell bitcoin i will get a lot of profit from hold but i am sure in future bitcoin price will go up again so i don't sell it now i will hold bitcoin till the price is really expensive.

I know Binance is one of the most trusted crypto exchanges but it was not advisable to put your Bitcoin or any crypto assets there as it wasn't safe totally unlike you keep it on your controlled wallet.

I'm not sure if you are pointing to holding as staking where you could think about making money while holding and waiting for the price to spike? Most of us doing staking and it was of a great idea and even it was just of a few percentages given to us but at least our money is growing little by little.

In my opinion, staking is the best option if you want to keep your assets for long time. It will help to increase your capital. On the other hand, holding is also profitable and you can sell it anytime. But on staking it is not possible for every staking.

If you dont mind that you are holding your BTC on exchange and not in a hardware wallet, then staking is a way better option. I really wish Ledger would offer BTC and ETH staking. If you are like me and dont trust any exchange, then you are stuck with holding your assets.

As long as you use the most credible exchange in the market, staking would be a good choice. However, you can't make much money even in the long term unless you stake a great deal of money. In this case, HODLing seems much better. Whatever amount you invest into Bitcoin for example, you can make a lot of money in the long run. Of course, it is not guaranteed but we have seen Bitcoin's movements so far and we already know what Bitcoin can do in the long run.

For Staking I think the benefits will be better known than HODL, but Staking also has a greater risk than HODL, because if Staking automatically we hand over our assets to other people to be managed, and if we are wrong in handing over our assets it will disappear .

It's true friends, the risk of staking is very large compared to holding, that's why I'm interested in holding compared to staking. I am afraid that my assets will be lost.

It's okay if we hand our assets to trustful platform just like binance which already have high reputation and not going to scam our money because they will lose their main profit income which is from their platform itself.
Staking is really profitable if we are planning not to cash out our cryptocurrency in near future and also if we are not going to sell it either in near future.
So both staking and holding are good, the difference is if we holding, we can sell the coin anytime when we need it.

If the project is real, there are many updates in front of the project. If they do their work according to the road map. If the team is always concerned with the investors. Then it is better to hold on to Staking in all those projects. The price of coins also increased. Staking is also profitable.

For me, staking is the best of the two in hold and staking. However, if you hold a coin here, you can sell it immediately if the price of that coin increases later.But if you are staking the coin is given a certain time you can not sell before that time. No matter how much you pay for that coin, you will not be able to sell that coin. But if you do staking you will get some extra profit. As a result of staking you at the end of a certain time I think your account will be paid with time to time.

In my opinion, it depends on the coins you want to stake or hold. You need to choose wisely about which staking coin to invest with. Because some of them can easily decline their value while you are still staking. But with holding, and if it is btc, I believe, it is worth it. Sometimes it depends on the type of user. Some users wanted to just hold and wait for the moment to sell their stash as they don't have time to check and keep up with staking coins.

Do both if you have more capital because of course both are still worth doing as passive income, it's just that we have to know what coins we take. For me personally at this time, because of limited capital... I only do Hodl, just do it while you can master it and knowing more about the price fluctuations, especially for the top coins.

I would choose based on what I need; both are giving you benefits and profits. If you want to control your bad spending habits, I will go for the HODL process to learn patience and delayed gratification. On the other hand, Staking would be great if you need regular earnings for your crypto activities or outside needs. We have different preferences based on what we would like to do with our coins; we must consider the reliability and security of the platform we are investing in.

Hold can only multiply money a little while staking can multiply money more, maybe you don't know much about the practical benefits of staking, it almost eliminates the weakness of the hold method because when holding, market corrections are always stressful for holders like us but with staking method we have locked our selves, no benefit will not be unlocked. Staking helps us to receive more interest is the amount of coins we hold, contracts are also short-term and long-term, so there aren't many restrictions on our behavior

I understand staking, I just don't have time for staking I choose hold because I'm busy at work so when I have free time I buy bitcoins and I store them in my wallet so I don't have time to sit in front of my laptop or hold my android in the crypto world like saving some my salary by buying bitcoins i buy bitcoins for me to keep as an asset in the future.

As far as I know, there is no wide opportunity to stake Bitcoin. If you want to earn from staking, you can choose others coin/token. Some staking platform is performing very well. Other wise you should go for holding Bitcoin.

Well, HODLing has quite been the option for me with regards to my crypto investments but I am not that much a fan of staking especially when it comes to other third-party staking sites. I did stake some coins I bought some times ago on the same projects site and those were locked for a period of time and I happen to miss the profits when the price got really high but overall, I really don't like staking but will rather just HODL my crypto assets till I am comfortable with my market position.   

make sure you hold your assets before you give permission to a third party to manage your bitcoins. If you want to profit from staking, of course you cannot profit from your trades, because your assets will be locked for as long as you are staking.
Please note, staking is also a form of hold, but with the added advantage it provides.

Personally, I prefer holding. However, good money can be earned by stacking. But it must be a trusted site, otherwise everything can be loss. In this case I can suggest stacking in Binance Exchange . By stacking there you can earn extra money without fear.

To be honest, it is too hard to make a lot of money in staking. You need to stake too much money to be able to get something really serious. There is a thing like DeFi staking also and it is more probable to make more profit in it. However, it is very risky. So, I think the best choice is HODLing. I choose to HODL Bitcoin the most and just enjoy it in the long term.  ;D  I would really recommend it to everyone as we all witnessed what Bitcoin are capable of in a long run.

Staking can pose risks and one of the risks that users face when staking is the potential for price movements that can harm crypto assets, when staking for example there is a profit offered of 15% APY when staking but suddenly the value drops to 50% for half years, then this will bring us losses.

Staking means that the user locks up his crypto holdings for a period of time defined by the staking platform, so in the event of a sudden market crash it means that we cannot withdraw our crypto from the betting program for sale to reduce losses, even if the market drops lower. And I think the value of the gifts given to us is not enough to cover the reduction in the value of our assets.

If want fix earning stake can be choice, as long you staking it in right place and right coin. And if me not wrong i not heard yet about we can stake bitcoin in staking platform. Don't trapped a suspicious site that talk about staking or mining bitcoin online usually it is only ponzi scheme, staking altcoin can be done like in Binance or other trusted sites.

I'm sure everyone has different goals in buying assets for investment. although everything is of course to gain profit, they have a different plan.
Hold and staking are both good for the long run. more people may now start to like staking because in addition to holding for the long term the holder will also benefit from staking.
I stake for some assets. but also holding for some assets which I think are too risky for us to stake.

I think if you look at the two characters, they have the same thing, in the long run, which is profitable. but if hold maybe other innovations can be done and you can be tempted to do something different. but if the staking time has been determined and can't do anything during the allotted time period is over, but the certainty that is received is certain.

So just where is the good direction, we just have to determine our own research. If you hold for the long term, it is clear that staking is more promising. once again in the long term both are good and staking is still superior.

Hodl and staking both are completely different things and in bitcoin there is no staking so if you want to go with this in altcoins then surely you need to know about project because if you have enough updates then this can give you good profit as you are holding their coins and taking some good profit from staking but as I mention please read about project before doing any invest is real important for you and your funds.

In bitcoin as mentioned no staking just holding is very good because it's giving very good profit in long run, but one thing keep in mind never deposit your funds in any third parties accounts because not your keys not your coins.

The bad thing about staking that you are ending up on using up some service or platform which simply means that you aren't the ones who had been totally holding off your coins since you don't possess the private key of those wallets which I could say that it is risky.

Unless if staking is basically been done on your own wallet just like with other coins then that would be considerable but if it talks about on other services then its risky and something I don't recommend.

Profit wise then I do simply like hodling even though you do have tendency to lost money but the rate of potential earning on one year time is way more higher than you have on staking.

That's what I've read from the others too. If I'm just holding it and then better to stake it but I won't do that. I'm good at holding it and won't stake it even if the conditions are favorable to me, I'd be really good just holding it and won't be too worried about the possible profit that staking might give. Holding will give more than that but others are also thinking that you'll get to have two potential ways of profit if we just stake it. But can't force everyone to do that including me and as you've said, they're both good so I'm good at holding.

In the end, it is up to us to be more comfortable making profit through holding or staking. I am the same as you, although staking offers a bigger profit,
I will not do it. Because I am also more comfortable with holding and I am used to making profit that way. So everyone does have the freedom to
choose what strategy is best for themselves. There is no compulsion to do holding or staking, until now I am still more comfortable holding than staking.
Because I prefer holding over staking, it doesn't mean staking is a bad thing to do. It's just me who may not understand how to staking well.

is there really bitcoin staking, as far as I know No betting for Bitcoin, because bitcoin is a POW network not a POS and the protocol doesn't support staking, If there are ,this  means you use a central service that stores Bitcoins or investments in return for giving you monthly or yearly returns.
I personally prefer holding bitcoin instead of staking, because if there is a decline in the market it can minimize losses and if staked it will be tied

I like staking but I don't know of a platform that offers bitcoin staking.
Take a look at Kraken and they offer 0.25% bitcoin staking perhaps for obvious reasons, volatility.
Staking is a method of winning in the DeFi space.
If you want to try your luck with staking, I would recommend that you choose a recognized altcoins where the developers are adding value to the product, the team is also the key.

Of course for bitcoin always Hodl!

https://www.kraken.com/features/staking-coins (https://www.kraken.com/features/staking-coins)

For sure with Bitcoin staking then it is most likely be done with those centralized service which simply means that you don possess key and also returns per year isnt something that is really that appealing
because it is most talking between 4-5% APY which is totally nonsense because if you could just simply hold if off then you could earn more than on what they do offer.The perks here is that you wont
really be losing that in case there would be some drops.So its no brainer that HODL would be the most preferable actions to be made.

There's the confidence holding it with our wallets and not to deposit it. Although there are also wallets that give private keys to the users and they also have their staking feature. But I don't want to add more of it and just simply holding it. We have our own choice and that's why you and I prefer to hold it. We're too confident not to think where it's being held because it's on our wallets. Maybe in the near future, we'll also have our interest in staking some other coins but not for now.

By doing hold you will not grow in the number of cryptocurrencies. That means you will only win if the cryptocurrency grows in price. Whereas in stake the price could lower the coin, but have more coins resulting in a higher value but both are good in their own way and also both are different in their own.

The post above you is right Bitcoin is PoW and there's no staking feature but with centralized exchange they might offer you to stake your Bitcoin and allow the company to use your assets for their business, the apy 4-5% which is not alluring, better to keep your coin inside your safe hardware wallet than risk it with CEX.

The choice always depends on how investors deal with their own research. Some might take the risk for passive profits while most will not.

They are more on holding their coin and keep it till it reached their target selling value.

I wouldn’t stake Bitcoin. Better to stake ETH or other altcoins

I see your posts, you have asked several times. But, are you sure that you have been reading all the replies from the members here?
Many members have explained you to.
Holding means that you hold coins in a certain time period. You can hold or invest coins for several years.
And staking itself can be done while you are holding. So, your coins will not be decreased or lost when it is for staking. You will get some profits from staking while holding.
So, we cannot determine it.
However, note! Before doing staking, ensure that the platform is exactly that the platform is trusted and also reputable.
You must also consider the percentage of staking it, whether it is worthy or not.

Regarding investing in cryptocurrency, the best investment strategy is to hold it, and then forget that besides Bitcoin, I am more optimistic about the current Polkadot. WEB3.0 has already appeared in front of us.

I've also never heard of bitcoin staking, because I totally agree with you, beyond what you might say because of network differences. but I actually see from the side what you have said.
because without staking bitcoin will increase by itself every 4 years and there is no point in staking which actually reduces the profits that will be obtained from the investment.
bitcoin is very different on its own and it does have the advantage that other coins don't have that it will reach renewable ATH at a certain time after the halving.

Another thing that makes me not interested in trying staking, maybe because I've been satisfied that I managed to make a profit by just
holding Bitcoin. Then feel it's not time to try staking, but in my spare time I have started to learn how to staking well. Like you said,
it is possible in future me and you try staking some other coins. In conclusion, I will not rush to try staking, although there is indeed curiosity
to try it. I need to really understand how to do it, so I can make a profit from the staking that I do.

i do not know binance offering for bitcoin staking, and how much roi will, if they offering for that but it is centralize exchange you never control your bitcoin, binance is transparent exchange but i am not willing to staking or holding my coins in any centralize exchange.

I am not a fan of staking and hodl because i channel my energy to trading with certain target percentage of profit daily, weekly or monthly. Though, i do reserve some fractions of altcoins that i think that will be a hit in the future. Currently, i staked only a token Binance because i lost over 2/3 of the investment.
The Crypto space is too wide, master one and you make a living there. Don't be jack of the trade. 

This is means your bitcoin is going to used by some third-party which they control over it . It is so risky. So I would like to suggest to have patience and hodl .  It will even give you big profit . You can staking another coin that have low risk.  But staking bitcoin is high risky . Holding bitcoin gives huge profit . So take risk with another coin instead of bitcoin.

It's really very risky to stake your bitcoin from third perty client.And basically its not so profitable too. So my suggestion is that you should hold it in your secured wallet and that will make your funds safe.
I also tried to stake my bitcoin but couldn't find such a safest platform.

According to my observation Holding and staking both are very much effective  because both are still worth doing as passive income. There are many individuals express that staking is better then hold on the contrary a large number of people support holding strategy. HODL's strategy is a very long-term strategy. In fact, there are Bitcoin HODLERS who have immobilized coins for more than 10 years and with it, the gains they have made have been immense. For its part, staking is a shorter-term strategy, since generally the currencies that apply these systems carry much higher inflationary systems that reduce the potential increase in the value of their tokens. Both have some advantages and disadvantages in this regard and it depends on  what type of crypto assets you have.

As for me, it depends on what crypto you are holding.

Let's say, for example, AXS (seems to be popular this day) so yeah we all know that the current market is quite uneasy. Having that said, you are holding on to this crypto. In some exchanges, they have this feature in which you can stake let's say in Binance. Since you are currently holding such coin, and the exchange platform you use has this feature then why not do Both. You are HODL while you're staking or vice versa.

Though, not all have this feature since other coins are not supported by some of the platforms in staking.

So bottom line, it's still up on your data whether you play or you HOLD.

Hold or Staking? For me,I think, Hold is the best strategy than staking.When you start Holding coin or token then you need to patience and control your emotion.I think, It can get by more Profit in future.Staking is not good strategy bcoz It's not satisfied us.

HODL+Staking is the best for me, if you want to staking i recommend you to do staking in binance that very easy to use.

And my advice you should stay away from day trading if you're still new on this field because trust me dude, day trading requires a shit ton of reading, learning, self control, time and skills just to be able to win above 55%.

Of course Binance's reputation as an exchange is clearly highly recognized, if you do staking of course you can but will it guarantee for a long time if you do that for bitcoin coins?
maybe if there is a hack binance will replace because of its good reputation.

because we know that by still holding bitcoin in our wallet, it can be ascertained that it is more secure and bitcoin will always increase in time and you will not lose anything. Bitcoin has different characteristics from altcoins, bitcoin will always increase so without the need for staking, bitcoin is still profitable.

I myself also just found out that there is staking for bitcoin and how the mechanism is clear. I can't give an answer for fear of being wrong because I clearly don't know. but it's clear that staking offers on the exchange are ineffective and profitable for me, because bitcoin's characteristics are different from altcoins. because bitcoin can be ascertained if we hold it will also remain profitable in time without the need for staking.

In my opinion, the best strategy between these two options is HODLing. Staking will not make people much money as long as they are staking a little amount of money. Because let's say that you staked into a stablecoin, the profit will be really low as the changes in the price daily are very low also. But if you are dealing with a great deal of money, then staking would be a good choice maybe.

HODL+Staking is a good way to make money. For this just need to hold some Good project(coin), I am personally doing stake with NWC right now at their official website. I believe in his project, In the long term, this coin can give 10x or more. Binance is good for the stake, BUT the APY is very low. I found Kucoin is very good for the stake, The reward is also high there.

Trade is also good to make money, but if you have no idea what you are doing then it's not good to do trade. Yes, If you want to be a profit earner in trade you need to read some books/learn TA. Those help you to take a trade and manage your risk. Trading is not so easy, To learn a trade you need to spend a good time on it. it's a good way to make some money.

I don't think we can compare HOLD and Staking, since staking is a kind of mining and hold is speculation.

Staking is the process of mining coins with our holdings, so, without hold there is no stacking. But since not all the coins have staking we can hold other coins and make profit with the speculation.

So, I choose both at the same time, Hold and Staking ;)

Staking is a trend right now, I've never tried staking because I don't have much time online, so when I analyze coins I just buy and hold for a period of time that I have determined, of course not all profits because there are projects that stop so they are deleted In the market, it can be said that staking is more profitable than holding because it always knows the latest updates.

Can you explain it why you did not like staking. Holding and staking are two different terms. In holding we hold our coins and we did nothing on holding. But on staking we get staking reward according to the APY. It will helps to increase the quantity of coin. I will suggest staking is more beneficial then holding. But everyone has their own suggestions and views. In staking, we did not do nothing its work automatic and give us rewards on the annual profit per year basis.

Staking is better than hodling, you're growing your cryptocurrencies every single day and at the same time you're also hodling your cryptocurrencies, although it's really small in amount depending on how much you've staked but it's still making you more of what you're hodling so it's not that bad at all.

well it depends on how much money you can invest or what type of investor are you, if you are the passive type of investor and just likes to invest in 1 coin then let it sit for a long while then the best strategy for you is holding. if you are an active type of investor or trader then the best strategy for you is staking, by staking you can play with the amount of money you are staking meaning you can either stake or not.
