Which is better, staking or investing?

[Axelseseclevz]

If you're going to invest for a short period of time then it could be better than holding or investing for long term. Staking is good if you stake a good coins which you think  going to have a higher value,but if you stake a coin, it has a time if when you are going to end it or ro stop it. But for me investing is profitable rather than staking.

You mean hyip or ponzi that promises you a certain number of interest? Those are the only type of investment I know that gives you daily percentage of profit which is not advisable to be invested. It has a high risk of losing your money.
Staking is also a kind of investment that you need to invest first before you can start performing or staking and it is better than the investment that you are asking about.

Certainly not Ponzi, but I do not know if it is called Hyip. The investment I am talking about is by registering at some sites and then depositing some coins on the site and then getting a percentage of the profits on a daily or monthly basis.

hyip is a type of ponzi scheme if I am not mistaken.

Well the investment you are talking about is staking, some kind of ponzi where the investment of new investors are being rewarded to you, I'm not sure of the full investment is given to old investors of just part of it but that's how it works. At the end the newest investors will be at the slump and will get rekt so hard when the website closes. That is why profits are given in daily of monthly basis, it depends on many investors they got.

I have subscribed to some of these sites and have been defrauded so I am asking if staking is safer than this.

I don't know any of these, maybe I scrolled out some of this but didn't bother myself to visit. From what you have said, I guess staking is safer.

I do think that investment will be a better choice. Staking is quite good. it’s just like when you’re leaving funds in a bank as savings and they invest it on behalf of you and you then get rewards in return. In staking you’re going to be locking up your crypto assets on a particular platform and at the end of the period you will be rewarded with a particular percentage. It’s just like on crypto.com, they give 8% per annum.

Now this is what I hate about staking: what if you stake your assets and there happens to be a bear market, and then you lose more money than what the reward can cover? You see? So in this case, I will prefer to go with a normal investment that I would have access to at all times.

After lots of frustrations with POS and masternode coins, I decided to try only with freebitco.in which may 4% annual interest but on daily basis which leads to cumulative interest gaining hence it  seems risk free due to their high reputations. Other high paying opportunities are still seems too risky in my eyes.

Which is better, staking or investing?

Aren't those more or less the same thing?, in staking you have to buy a particular coin and hold it for a certain period of time to get a certain profit, so it's basically investing and the only difference between investing and staking is that in staking you will get paid(about 1-2% a month is what is common in staking) to have that asset in your wallet so basically you will have more coins at the end of the month, week or day, while in investing you will be only making money when the coin or token price goes up and you won't get paid any extra for holding it.

Actually, your words are true. I tried staking the AWC token in Atomic Wallet about two weeks ago and its price was about  0.57$ at the time. Indeed, I only got some token from this stake, but the good point as you mentioned is that the price of the token increased significantly during this period and it is Now about  1.2$. It has nearly doubled, meaning that you only have to find good currencies that can go up in price to make a staking.

Hmm, hard question. We can pick something in the middle. Like a structured deposit. It can look like staking, but require the initial investment

[inanilujimi]

 I myself prefer to invest rather than having to wait for something that has been determined but not necessarily be profitable.
when investing we can at any time choose to stay afloat or sell according to our needs.

_{I find this question confusing. Staking is a process where you need certain amount of tokens to earn from its timely maturation which classify also as type of investment.}

Staking is a form of investing, you'd need to specify what form of investment to compare it with.

I mean, by investing, you place your currencies in investment sites that give you a percentage of daily or monthly percentage profits. I see that staking is very similar to these sites. Also, as you know, there are risks in this type of investment, and my question is what is the difference between staking and such sites, as well as whether there is such a risk.

Investment sites involve a lot of risk and you hardly know the truth about where your money is going for that are being used to pay you monthly. Staking is less resource-intensive alternative to mining. It is less risky but the profit might be less than what you are getting from investment site. Also profit from staking varies depending on the amount of coin you are staking and the coin itself. For me, I prefer staking over the other

[Oneandpure]

Better investing because you get much profit and sell when do you want, for staking you have faced many risk although your assets keep the same amount but never have the same value, always make you face terrible when checking price down and you must waiting for one month to get back your assets and received from staking reward.

That's right, I recently started using a stake and found it much better than investing in other types that you don't know exactly its work and may be scam, at least in the stake you're dealing with a coin that you trust and know well.

The open blockchain platform Harmony has announced that it will start supporting staking from now, in an effort to create a blockchain-based infrastructure.

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?

Both are good maybe it depends upon the token you are staking or investing. We stake token which has low in value so we cannot earn good profit. So maybe we need to make a keen study first before we decide whether we stake or invest a coin.

Taking the meaning of *staking* to its nowadays use in crypto universe I think to invest is more interesting as a bitcoin investment is much more worthful than staking in altcoins, which have more risks for a profit that may be inferior to the profit you could make with bitcoin investment.
Seems staking was a smart way developers created to make their altcoins look more interesting to investors' eyes and drive their investments from bitcoin and main altcoins to their new launched currencies. Although I'm critic about staking, I'm curious to try this yet, at least to see how it works for real.

While dealing with cryptocurrencies everywhere there'll be risk. It is the users understanding and the knowledge that makes people lower the risk while investing or staking. The staking process of cryptocurrencies were making a big change and the dividend provided periodically adds more profit than the revenue got out of investing on third party platforms.

the basis must be built that investing in crypto will certainly be affected by risk, but each risk will certainly get things that can be positive and negative just how we can manage them well.
of course there are many profitable directions when investing in crypto so it reverses with the risks carried by crypto investment. always continue to update knowledge with what is happening in crypto because it will influence what actions will be taken.

[peterpanda]

In my personal opinion, investing is better than stacking. Try to find potential coin and invest on it. If you buy then hold it until price hit a big amount.

[ethereumhunter]

I think investing will be better than staking because we can invest in a small amount, and we can hope that we can make a big profit, especially when the price can increase so high. While staking will need a lot of money to buy so that we can earn a lot of reward from the coin. Besides that, we need to wait for one period or sometime before we can earn a lot of rewards. That will need to have the patience to still hold the coin without we doing anything expect to hold it. But we will have a different opinion about staking and investing, and they will choose what they think that it will be profitable for them.

If u r good at reading charts and TA; only then go for trading or else you can end up losing big time; also avoid leverages.

While staking helps you to earn even if you are idle; but only after you are satisfied with the longevity of a project, go for staking.

And give me one good reason why can't you have both? Anyone can put some coins or staking, at least it's better for money to make money. On other side trading can be full time job, reading charts and ta, following news, setting sell and buy orders, but it can be profitable if you do things right.
Both can be profitable, both have risks involved, staking is much easier and you don't kneed some special knowledge to set it up, which can be advantage for newcomers, first learn how to earn and later you learn how to trade and if you lose you will always have other sources of income and you will not feel a big loss.

How many percent each month from harmony or ONE token, I think this coin look stable price and good for staking but depend how many percent each month or they have different rule with staking each week? maybe if got 5% each week or above 10% I will join it.

10% a year is even too good to be true.  The project will likely be dead with that rate, some rates I found was just 3% a year.  You'd rather not be staking if you are not prepared to see that you are actualyl lossig more than just trading the tokens some investors stake their tokens thining they are going to gain but the price of the token made them realized they are not.  They may have increased the number of tokens they have but the value is depreciating.
