Bitcoin Forum

Good afternoon, everyone, no matter how I tried to find entertainment for myself in this market, I can’t do anything, I even started trading with leverage, etc. I lost a lot of money in such a bear market and I want to calm down a little, I heard that there are options to earn big money on bets in different liquidity pools and staking, I want to know where you can find a platform that will show the best percentages for betting and liquidity. It is desirable that a verified site or platform, otherwise it was enough for me to get into a couple of scam pools and I no longer want to lose my money, if there are options with different percentages I will be glad to see and read thanks

Hello, I have been trying to find something between a big income and a stable one for a long time, as we know a stable income is always less than where you can lose your funds, but I found a really cool project, rather than a project, but a branch from the HashEx platform, this is a cool auditor with with a big rating, they made AnalytEx the name of this site where you can see all the pools and staking with different APYs and the most convenient thing for me is that you can put everything in one place, that is, I found 5 good offers on AnalytEx and made staking there or LP and everything is in one place, there are different percentages and large APY and stables can be contributed differently, and whatever you confuse, it’s not AnalytEx that allows you to contribute to their site, but they act as an aggregator that gives you options that are on the market . As for me, everyone benefits from this, you can find yourself the best project in which you will contribute money. Good luck and most importantly, my messages are always my opinion, do your DYOR and good luck will be with you!

Adding funds to the Liquidity pool is quite risky, especially in a bear market. Traders would out Liquidity and you may get a useless token in return. Staking would help to increase your tones, not token value. So if the market moves up you may have decent money. Bear in mind, that choosing a staking pool is also quite important. Staking at the useless token pool would never raise the token price. So everywhere is at risk. You may choose some potential tokens for staking that have a chance to raise the price again. Be careful mate, it's a financial decision.

When you are just new into trading world then dont ever tend to touch up leverage or futures trading.It would be good if you do stick with spot and try your best to sustain yourself on that.

For staking then APY arent really that good even if we do talk that its better than with bank interest on yearly basis but we know that everything is really unpredictable.
You cant really know on what would happen on the coin or project that you've been holding for a year.

So better stick with spot and find yourself about the difference but dont expect or treat it out easily.

In liquidity pools, there is the impermanent loss that you have to take as the collateral of what you'll be adding there. In staking, the risk is also there because the market is volatile and that percentage of APY won't guarantee that you're in profit if the price goes at low.
If you're still trying to find some platforms for you to stake, try to pay a visit on mycointainer (https://www.mycointainer.com/assets?category=all&sortBy=popularity), they've got several assets that you can choose for you to stake. APY for most are not that much but they're decent.

LPing isn't something where you just leave your money and just wait for the yield. It's going to depend a lot on the coins/tokens you're LPing as well.

Based on your description, what you need is discipline. If you get bored and eventually get greedy, you're going to lose money regardless of what industry you're in. And I'm not even against trading, but if you use leverage and blow up your account, then you have a problem.

Staking for high APY is deception and more risky than future or margin trading. Staking rewards is like what you get by not selling your tokens so the developer or founder can dump their own. I have loose a lot from Wonderland, drip, bloc, animalfarm and so many of them. The best way to make money from crypto market still remains either buy when the market is at the bottom and sell when it up or buy in the second year to halving like this year and sell in 2025.

Well, based on your experience and losses, it is sad to say that this place isn't for you mate, not really for you.
I know your goal is to make money but crypto doesn't give you back despite the thing and adjustments you've did. This will simply tell you that your journey isn't for crypto, you are one of the thousands who have been trying to invest but it fails. You can't blame yourself, not even the market, and of course, nothing.

I would say to stop forcing yourselves in here and don't get fooled by these influencers as you can see, you are not making a profit anymore but just losses. Please reconsider moving on and leave crypto as this wasn't meant for you mate.

Staking is the most useless money making technique I have come across in crypto to date. For a person like you, I would advise you to buy good and promising high market cap crypto assets, maybe diversify your portfolio. Send your assets to a secure wallet or hardware wallet, keep it safe and wait until the goes into a bull run. Trust you will make way more money that useless staking APYs.

Where have you been the last 2 months?

All these high staking yield projects have all gone bust and many lost their savings. First with Luna, and then the various lending platforms like Celcius.

People lost all their savings because they wanted like 10-20% yield.

You just want to introduce this project, not to ask for advice right?
No one is safe no one can guarantee that, even when you use a platform that you think is safe for staking you can still lose both the value of the coin you are staking or also lose your investment, especially when the market is bearish all forms of investment become very not safe.
And when you introduce that this platform is safe be careful there will be newbies who can get trap with your statement even if you suggest to DYOR

To be fair, not literally all yield that can be farmed is necessarily ponzi-like. You can get 'real' yield by providing liquidity on AMM platforms, because fees that traders pay gets distributed to liquidity providers.

They still could face a problem of impermanent loss when markets dump or get f**ked if the owners of the project they are providing liquidity for decide to pull the rug. Most of those projects usually have very attractive APYs

Generally, the risk is way higher than the reward.

If all you want is pure entertainment then why can't you just head straight on any gambling website? That way, it's okay if you lose because in return of that is you are entertained while if you continue what you are currently doing, all you can get there is stress because you always keeps on losing without getting any benefits.

I am not into staking but I heard that staking is not good now, I guess that is because of the current bear that we are facing but if I were you I will just invest on a promising crypto. You can get them cheap nowadays. That is the only thing that I know, that can give you a better success rate in terms of earning a profit.

If APY's is already on the side of too good to be true then always ask on yourself on how the hell they would really be considering on giving out that percentage considering that market conditions cant really be known?
Even on legit projects or long time running doesnt really give out those kind of percentages but for the sake of competition and trying out to best out those current existing ones then they are really increasing
those numbers but we know that it would be still futile or useless for them to do so and to those who are considering staking then better think twice.It is really much more better if you do accumulate
on your own with your own wallet and earn percentage gains or profits in a years time but of course its not guaranteed for it to happen.

In my opinion the safest way to earn yield is as follows. Keep in mind this only works during bull markets.

If you have fiat or tether you basically buy Bitcoin on a spot exchange and you use that Bitcoin as collateral to open up a 1x short of a futures Bitcoin contract.

Last May or so (2021) we had something like 60% APY. The contract that is due in 30 days usually had a 3-5% premium. You would short it and cover when it matures and collect the premium.

This is much safer than any other method out there.

Even if you find an ideal platform, the market is difficult to predict, and therefore rapid changes in price may make the best platforms in a weak financial position, and any unknown change in the price may lead to losses, so the best now is to try to determine the bottom and buy close to it and start with a long-term investment.

Liquidity pools were easy in the past due to the presence of a lot of cash in the hands of citizens and the ease of making a quick profit because the price is in a continuous upward curve.

I think one should go for staking in only the top 20-25 coins. Even though the APY will be lesser, the investment would be safe, and not to mention the price volatility risk would also be lower. Even in top coins, I would suggest splitting up your money into various coins to create a portfolio sort of a thing so that there is one coin like LUNA which dumps like anything, not all your money is gone by this. But yes HODLing becomes even better if you stake your coins and get a good APY. There is nothing like that, only thing is to find the coin at the right price. Just don't be stuck with buying and staking the coins in bull run, instead average out your buys in various sets to ensure you get the optimum price. 

If you no longer want to lose money then it will be better for you to stay away from betting because you will surely lose money in it.
Staking is a safer way to go but then again you have to be really smart on which coin you want to stake.
The safest way would be to buy bitcoin or ether and then hold it for a long term.
This might be time consuming but at least you won't lose money unless you sell your coins for a loss.

But it's much safer than locking up one's assets in a third party platform all in the name of staking. Bitcoin can make gains of over 10% in a week or month if one buys it at the perfect time.

For some reason, people, especially newbies, feel “safe” when they send their assets to a centralized and custodial exchange and have the assets staked for months or years without caring about consequences in case things don't go as planned.

I think that nobody wants to lose money, in the event that they want to bet or have their money blocked generating passive income, it should be taken into account that when the BTRC market goes down, obviously large income will not be seen or how the person believes that they will have profitability or profits, it is a matter of having or assuming a risk that can easily be won or lost, in case of not having so much security, it is better that the money is dispersed or is willing to do so, the person tries to forget and put all the trust there and wait as long as necessary.

Because we got used to that, for example banks which give interest for our money deposited but it is less than the actual inflation rate so we are actually losing money while we deposited there for long time but as a common man they don't realize it and the same kind of thing or traditional also followed here as well when people entering into this market.

You are protected by the law when you put your money in the bank and you have insurance in case something to the bank that result to lost of your money. On the other hand staking is very risky because you are entrusting your money to a company that has no legal obligation to its investors money. Celsius is the best example here, People who stake money there will the least priority in case they totally go to there bankruptcy plan.

@logfiles suggestion has a lot of sense to be honest because it’s very safe and also profitable. APY on yield farming usually provides 20% and below which is not worthy if you suffer the same scenario on Celsius investors.

The Waves.Exchange cryptocurrency exchange offers quite high interest rates for the liquidity pool and staking. A lower APY, but correspondingly less risky placement of your funds, is offered by Binance. You should do your own research to choose a platform, as it is your money and you should be responsible for the decision yourself.

Whenever you do have plans or considerations on starting up on putting some funds or investment with staking platform or companies then you should really be thinking about the risk involved and try to make out

some research about those past or histories which do involves out bankruptcy and other issues related to this and trying out to balance if you could bare up on the risk or not.

Yes,you cant really able to ignore on how much you could really earn which is really much better compared to traditional but of course the risk is higher.

You must know how to earn profits even if it is a bear market. There is a short trading position if you know it, it is on futures trading and you can use leverage.
If you are also looking for some good APY on staking and if you want it to be less volatile, you can try to use stablecoins taking like on different exchanges or decentralized platforms, try binance, bybit, ftx, crypto.com, etc for centralized exchange, and for decentralized platforms, you can try on Ethereum network, some defi platform or Solana platform.

It's not always a real thing though. I remember very clearly places that offered a lot of money to be there, but then as soon as they started to get people, they dropped their rates, or places that scammed others, or places that basically let people wait longer than they should because of "vesting" bs reasons.

All in all, if I do not trust the exchange then I do not trust the rates and I have to say waves isn't exactly at the top of the list of best exchanges. Meaning I would have a hard time trusting their offerings, maybe it could be looking good today, but let's talk about it in 6 months to a year and see where you are still standing and how legit those numbers look.

Lets look into this one.
https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/b3260b16e1f2407a8848043a22275044

Offering around 36.79% APY which it is really something that would make you boil and to be interested with those percentages.
We know Binance reputation and if changes comes then we do know on whats next.  :D

To be honest, I only trust binance when it comes to staking or earning interest. Though they may have lower rates as compared to others. I believe, binance won't screw their users. Doubt if the staking platform is offering a high APY, usually, their lifespan are short. Before you can even get your initial investments, they are already gone. So don't be tempted with high APY, better look for the credibility and trustworthiness of the platform.

Has anyone here done this with waves?  If so, are you really earning that much?  Example you buy enough waves or btc and say have 10k worth to make the math simple.  If you sell the waves or btc for those staked coins on waves exchange... you are going to earn over 30%?  But you get paid how often?  Weekly?  So can't you just cashout your profit each week while keeping the initial 10k worth of that stablecoin there?

I will suggest to you that for the time being you do nothing, according to your post you tried leverage trading and lost a lot of money, what makes you think you can earn some money in this way? Take your time, the markets are going nowhere and a lot of opportunities to make money will keep appearing, you are simply not ready to try any money making opportunities in this market and if you keep trying to force it you will lose even more money than what you have lost already.

My first thought as well, the best he can do now is to chill for a while and do nothing! People lose a lot of money with leverage, it's not for everyone! OP already lost a lot of money, chasing recovery can be fatal for him, we all know that too well! I guess there are good staking solutions with nice APY, in many exchanges, casinos, etc... It's easy to find a good platform for staking some coins (the choice is pretty big) and simply let them sit there, it will generate some profit over time and it will be safe!

Binance is indeed one of the best platforms for now, because many people use Binance as the main platform,
yes, there we can stake comfortably, and I agree, because I am also a Binance user,
and the method used is also very simple compared to staking at platform a project as possible on the Tron platform

Binance may indeed provide asset comfort and security. even if there is a hack, I think Binance can handle it. they are quite experienced in dealing with such problems.

but if you see APY's offer, don't expect big. but for those who want to hold assets for the long term, I think, making a long-term staking plan on Binance is not a bad choice.

some people may be interested in the new platform because the APY provided is also large. but indeed security is not necessarily as good as Binance. if you want to try a new platform, I think to use short-term planning, and also use assets with not large value to anticipate.

It is because of behaviors like this one that people compare trading to gambling, we know that when some people lose their money when they gamble they cannot avoid chasing their losses and in return they lose even more money, and at least this is the impression the OP is giving me, it seems he is not happy at all with his losses, which is normal, but instead of learning from this he wants to try another way to make money to recover what he lost already, and most likely he will get the same results that he got with leveraging trading.

I think you really need to calm down a little because with your post, I believe that you are experiencing anxiety with what happened to you but this is just my personal feelings and I think I'm incorrect :P.

Anyway, yes you can earn in liquidity pools and staking but it isn't big or it depends on some factors.

Being a liquidity provider has some risk because there is a chance that one or both of the coins that you put into the pool might lose their value thus, the amount of tokens you are getting being a liquidity provider isn't enough to cover your losses. I've been a liquidity provider in Katana (Axie Infinity) for more than half a year already and TBH, the amount of tokens that I got isn't enough to cover the losses that I got when I started. It might happen to you as well if you will not make an in-depth research. Now with regards to the percentages, I can't give any particular website but maybe some can give you here or you can just make a quick google search in the most popular liquidity pools out there and you will find one.

Now with regards to staking, yes you can earn money on that as well but it isn't that much. Some staking coins give as low as 1% to as high as 15% or even higher annually depending on the coin you chose to stake. What can I say is that if you want to stake, choose those top staking coins. Less risky but lesser reward as well. It's your choice still. You can find some staking coins here: https://www.stakingrewards.com/

No one can assure you that you can earn at a particular site or something. It will not be easy to recover, but you must be consistent. I think reputable exchanges such as Binance have corresponding stakes and rewards that would benefit users and stakers. I have been using it for a while and holding BNB; I'm just waiting there and collecting the rewards.

Every one of us for sure doesn't want to lose any money. It's up to you your discipline yourself so that you can manage not to lose money anymore and not be careless.

Mate future trading is not easy for everyone if you heard that future trading make you millionaire so that is wrong because alot of users are only involved to make quick money without knowledge. So you can trading with own your risk because you better know about your capital. On the other hand crypto can make your millionaire when you give the time and efforts in this then you can trade with knowledge. So I will recommend but you must research before taking any decision now alot of exchange given alot of high Apy to earn passive income according to your coins . Alot dex exchange have also introduce staking platform like pancake swap will offers us that stakes tokens to earn High rewards in the passive income

If you could really take risk on entrusting up your funds into some platform then make it sure that you would be sticking into those known platforms or exchanges considering that staking does involved
long time holding or parking with your funds then it would really be just right that you should deal with the right platform. APY's on some projects or coins do really look appealing but you should
mind off about the risk involved and never make yourself that too impulsive on making outright decisions just because you had seen that it do offers something good.
If you could bare the risk then go ahead but expect the unexpected always.

Well it is obvious that there are many ways to earn money, but currently there is the staking with certain currencies to earn others, and they offer quite a high return, and I think that now it is a good option for that due to the market situation, of course this is something that greatly influences people who like tokens and some coins a lot, what they do is block them for some time to generate more of another coin, I know that there are many decentralized exchanges that do this type of business model, that they do not It's not bad at all, because they see it as win-win, but you always have to be careful about the type of investment you get into.

Not all coins or token have stable price when entry for staking, I have checked with AXS as profitable coins for staking and give good APY about 75% on Binance, but price drastically dump above $100 until today under $20. I think not profitable with staking exactly choose with yearly staking coin. Better try another option like trading or investing on some potential coins without have to lock our coins and have chance for selling on the top price. But with BNB could said as profitable staking coin because give not bigger APY reward like the other coin can reach above 50%, but BNB looks have small APY given and I think still waste our time when unlocking time period coming we can't unlock BNB coin.

What percentage do you want? How much would be called good?
No one wants to lose their money, but you should remember that investing is always risky, the higher the return, the higher the risk. If you are not ready to lose money then it is best not to invest or stake because nothing is 100% secure, everything is relative.
Since you can't take the risk, I don't have any good advice for you.

Those who choose to stake, they're likely not traders or tired of trading and that's why they just want to have a passive income effortless.

So, if you're suggesting them to trade, maybe they were already there and just want to do something out of their holding and earn a bit from staking.

Both are risky, just as you've said about staking and trading but more efforts needed in trading.

I had my fair share of staking opportunities and the sad part is that I have locked it for a long time hoping that it would even be higher in price. It's just that if I had taken it differently or shortened the amount of staked time on that coin, then I could probably profited from it than the value it has now knowing that the price has crashed. It's always going to be a dilemma when it comes to that type of investment.

The problem mostly here is that some people think that the result will always favor us.

Losing is part of the progress. If lost, just continue. Learning shouldn't be rushed. Even experts still making some errors up to this point.

Regardless of taking chance on profits will be thru trading or staking, just build experience and someday we will be used to it.

first of all you need to use reputable website/service (like kraken or binance / liquidity pools like bancor or DEX ).
secondly try to learn how staking works and how you can earn from it.
third last but not least don't be greedy! if an investment sound to good to you... it's not really so good :)  Don't invest in any "obscure" coin with bigger rewards avoid gambling because it's really hard get decent profit from such situations.

That happens because they are amazed on what they saw on other success stories, where someone flexes their income and they engage here directly because they also want the same thing but they are forgetting the fact that it was not easy but before those people got there they also went through different battles and hardships.

A few losses are still normal especially for a starter but if it persists that it already affected your life then you better change careers and I think that is what the op is doing now. From trading and now he wants to try staking but the only problem is that he said he don't want to lose money anymore. That will be hard.

The idea of it goes with those people that don't look at how messy it was for that person who have taken a huge jump to profit after having several losses.
In staking, people might think that there's no actual loss. But the same as trading and holding, the coin you stake will have sort of impermanent loss and that's the same with those LPs that we mostly see. The only good thing in some staking platforms, you can remove it there if you want to and sell it to save yourself from losses.

You would really be able to find out for yourself on what are the things that could possibly happen whenever you do make out some staking on a particular coin and its value had been depleting gradually then

you could really say that it would be affecting your profitability on the coin that you've been staking.So you cant really that able to make yourself make out assurance that it would be worth.

It would really be still depending on what coin or project you are investing into whether it would be having a demand or recognition or simply been ignored and ending up on a loss instead.

What i want you to understand is that future trade profit is similar or equivalent to the lost.thats one of the factors that making people not adventure into it seriously. But some so think that their high tendency or possibilities that will make you to be rich during venturing into future trading. The profit is as the gravity of the lose.

Well, as an investor, I wouldn't choose to stake those tokens that have no demand. And that's why being wise with a choice is the first thing matter that one has to take.
The profit won't be a lot when staking and as long as you're decided to hold it and you do nothing then staking is a way to go. When you're still not in need for that holding to be spent, you choose the places that gives the best % apy.

You came into cryptos looking at it from a gambling perspective as I can see "bets" running through your post. Trading isn't gambling. They're poles apart. Again, you didn't have to plunge straight into leverage trading as a beginner. You should've started with spot trading. It's a lot easier to grasp and you wouldn't lose anything even while your bought tokens dip until you sell. Many a long time trader even avoid leverage trading because it's the easiest way to burn one's capital if one doesn't have a handle on it. Also, instead of looking for pools to stake in why don't you look for credible assets/tokens. You ought to know the type of tokens you want to engage first before searching for what APY it offers. Don't pick a token and invest in it because it has a great APY.

Staking will be appropriate only if you decide to hold a certain coin for a long time. In this case, by placing these coins on staking, you will be able to increase their number in your portfolio, which will definitely increase your chances of getting a profit.

Look at how Dexes are having a problem balancing investors' money, some of the high APY stakings they gave is only on paper, the moment the contract goes online, it becomes so tough to manage and as soon as they see it would be impossible to handle, they file for bankruptcy. It is preferable to select a staking website that delivers a reasonable percentage rather than one that may run one day.

Stick on being realistic and you wont really be having any problems.We've seen lots of offering about those staking platform do offer huge percentage in APY which we know that this is something much

more better compared on what Banks could give but we arent that dumb not to know about the possible risk whether it would be ending up profitable after year time or would really be just a waste
considering that this market is unpredictable when it comes to value or prices on particular coins which would really be putting huge impact on overall profitability.
We do have lots and the best ones i would say is on that something offers instant pull off on your investment even you hadnt able to hit up such
duration.

For me. I do my stakings on cosmos ecosystem. There are a lof of good percentages there and most of them are safe to use.
You can also add liquidity to Dexes to earn some percentages from the transactions made on the DEX.
Also, yeild farming is profitable on DEX like pancakeswap, biswap and others on BSC.
These are safe enough and good.
