Which is better, staking or investing?

[yhiaali3]

Staking isn't that bad but a very risky form of investment especially when you don't carry out proper research and invest in a worthless shitcoins that's just been hyped and when that hypes dies down they give poor ROI as a result of the price of the coin declining massively.  Also you should rethink the mode of staking your investing into as giving your coins to a third party or not owning the private key to the wallet the coins are been staked in is as foolish as storing your coins on an exchange.

Your word is correct. The stake is risky if I give the coins to a third party or an unknown coins. As for me, I am currently Staking the AWC token at Atomic Wallet. I think this Wallet is well-known and has a good reputation and high confidence and I expect the token to have a good future in addition to that you have the token in your own Wallet and your private key is available to you so I think the risk here is almost non-existent.

Why is the risk non-existent, mate? It still exists.
I know they've got a good reputation out there but what's in the future, we don't know yet. Whatever you're staking is just based on trust because your coins will still be in the wallet and if it gets a server hack or something like that, do you believe you'll see your coins back again? Here I"m asking about the coins that you staked and not the return.

In my opinion, staking is more risky because we do not know the price in the market. I mean the price in the market can change at any time, if you join a staking project that has a stable price or more rising, it will be profitable, but if you join a staking project, the price is getting fall or die then you will lose all the money you have

[hahay]

Good or not depends on the project, it is not possible if the project is bad can give good results, whether it's by way of investment or staking because it all depends on the project and its platform. Maybe Binance and other exchanges in this case can provide a learning for them and I think ideas like this will continue to be developed and as long as they can provide the best, why should they be prevented because they will also strive to continue to grow to be the best.

You said it right and people do missed out these kind of things most of the time on where to believe that risk is non-existent.
Staking thing is long time good and also this one is considered investment since you do put up money into this.
Asking on which one is better? Its up to our own choice because every step we do make in using our money to earn
money then it do always vary on how we do handle it well and lessen down the risk involved.

AFAIK Atomic Wallet is non-custodial, i.e. the user controls the keys and doesn't need a server. That's really the only way staking should be done, if one must. Any kind of custodial wallet, shared masternode, exchange staking stuff is just asking for trouble.

Isn't staking the same thing as investing with the only difference being you know how much you getting from your investment after a certain period if you opt for staking

I want to fully understand what is staking and what are the best coins and platforms that we can do staking and give good profits?

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

If you are going to be investing in altcoins right now go for stable coins or platforms that support Defi because that could translate into liquidity into that project and later become a successful project!

Well I am staking on AWC coin for Atomic Wallet, do you have information about this token? I heard about it good and want to try my luck there? If you have more information about some of the good platforms that support DEFI please tell me more about that through your experience. If you have information about some of these projects that might be successful then I might try my luck in one.

The cryptocurrency and stock markets can be compared with gambling for a long time, because unity and the most important factor that unites them is uncertainty, which in some cases allows traders and investors to earn very good money, and on the other hand, this uncertainty is a very stumbling block on the way to his goal. But the players from the stock market have long found an opportunity to combine investments and gambling, when investors do not invest in stocks or securities, but in the results of sports games and competitions. The same situation exists today in the cryptocurrency market. An example is the software maker Stratagem, which is trying to implement a startup for investment in sports betting.

   Today staking is so easy. I stake few coins, nothing much, and I have some passive income. It's low like my investments in those
coins are, but with time I will invest more.
   In my opinion, and some other people thinks the same, staking and investing are one thing. We invest in coins we wish to stake,
we generate more of those coins of time, and with luck their price will rise and we will have more coins, more profit.

Staking and investment? Are they not the same thing? They are two similar things, so I think the question should be between trading and staking or mining and staking. I still believe that it all depends on how much you're able to invest. The more money you invest in all these things the more profit you're able to make. You can't invest little money and be expecting huge profit, it doesn't work like that. And they all carry risks, except mining, but that one carries expenses which a lot of people cannot afford.

There are people who will go into mining and at the end they won't cover up the expenses they have made. Similarly I have seen people who tried masternode running and POS but the heavy dump on the invested coin, led them go bankrupted.Still, investing on bitcoin mat not disappoint in long run for sure. Staking will be good when that coin will be having another real world application; otherwise people will keep dumping which will lead to negative ROI.

The Stake system can actually be considered the same as investment because you have to make a mandatory investment to stake. For this reason, I think that there is no clear answer to this question and I actually claim that investment was made while stake. Thus, there is a situation that waiting for the investment to be valued by investing, on the other hand, does not seem logical when compared to the stake option. So if I had to choose one of the two options, I would choose the stake option, as I already mentioned, the stake option is actually an investment type.

[SARA ISLAM]

If you can make the right choice, then stacking and investing are both the correct. If you chose one altcoin for stacking but the trading volume is very low of this altcoin here you made a mistake. Because the future of coin is not good and the trader is not interested in it.
In the same way, if you make a mistake in choosing a coin, it will be also a loss for trading. So above all, take the right decision.

There is a major difference in principle between staking and investing, staking in the cryptocurrency space means you are helping in validating the blocks which means you get rewards for hording your coins and it is a major difference from investing as you are hording the coins for the value to go higher and you are not getting any rewards intrinsically for hording and that is not the case with staking.
Personally i am not a fan of POS simply because it is basically centralized and all the coins that are POS are pre mined heavily and it is not going to be fair game, all the fans of POS can have their view point but that is not going to work in the long term and i wont be surprised if i hear some large amount of coins that were staked were hacked in the future and that time we can talk about this Pandora box .

Both staking and investing are good for investors. But each of them has some different characteristics that make it a bit different from each other and investors have to consider all of these things. In case of investment, you can avoid huge losses by selling your cryptocurrency at any time according to market analysis. This is not possible in the case of a long term or medium term staking and in many cases, the market can go down a lot in a short period of time. So you can't make a new type of cryptocurrency staking because the risk is very high but it is possible to come out with a higher return in case of investing. On the other hand, even if the value of investing in trusted and top cryptocurrencies decreases, the number of the coin increases on staking, and when the value rises again, there is extra profit which is not the case with investing. So it can be said that the utility of these two factors depends on proper cryptocurrency selection and timely decision making.

Staking is a type of investing. Staking is the process of buying and holding coins with the goal of receiving interest. It is done using a designated wallet on a network that uses the Proof of Stake consensus algorithm or some modification of it.

[stiffbud]

In my opinion, staking is more risky because we do not know the price in the market. I mean the price in the market can change at any time, if you join a staking project that has a stable price or more rising, it will be profitable, but if you join a staking project, the price is getting fall or die then you will lose all the money you have

Same thing can also be said about investing that at one time you can invest in a project which is looking to have a good future and then suddenly after only a few months the marketcap of that coin falls more than 10x of what you brought it at. So there is always a chance of risk taking in investing and also in staking your coins as well. I personally like staking my coins as it gives you a little bit of income as well on top of appreciation of coin if any, so it is a win win situation as well because in investing you will be holding a constant amount of coins with you but by staking you can increase that number to a tremendous amount if you have huge staking power in the pool.

This is close to the truth.
In addition I'd say - proper investing leads to accumulation of surplus funds which can be easily staked which will lead to rise of the capital of an investor

[joinfree]

Well, it will surprise you to know that staking is another form of investment. However, staking does not require huge collateral as in masternodes hence it makes it quite easier for more people to invest with in it. If you are looking for platforms to stake then I will recommend MyContainer platform. It's very secured and easy to use.

In my opinion investing is much better than staking, because investing we have the freedom to choose coins. And depend on us
when it wants to be sold, investing gives freedom to control our own finances. While staking can only be certain coins, if we are
staking coins then our assets are locked, cannot be arbitrarily sold. There are rules when we can withdraw, we can't immediately
make a withdrawal. Investing if you choose the right coins, the profit can be much greater than staking.
