Which is better, staking or investing?

[ChrisPop]

Your question is really vague. It makes a huge difference what you stake or what you invest.

If you are referring strictly to altcoins, they are inherently risky. Let's be honest - the big majority of altcoins out there in the market have little to no actual utility. Their price is purely speculative.
Investing is again, very general. There are a lot of investment strategies and infinite possibilities of portfolio models. You, and only you can make the decision for yourself. Remember that it doesn't need to black or white. You can mix staking with investing.

which is better investing by investing in the right coins to be able to get a profit every investment must have different levels and that must be done in order to maximize staking profits, for now, is not too good because it usually takes up to months sometimes the price of the coin can dropping drastically resulting in losses because the purchase price does not match the selling price.

[Fredomago]

Staking is worth than investing if you choose correct coin for your staking like BNB or TRX, every month they will sent staking reward and you have double income not only for investing but also you can get profit from staking coin, for BNB you can earn launchpad coin and some time BNB burn more higher supply and make price going up. When you have chance for selling your need waiting until the end staking time but for investing you can sell any time do you want.

Staking is quite good when we know in fact we wanted to hold that coin longer, it will be better to be at staked since we will have a chance to accumulate more coins. Better stake only on coins that we trusted in the long run so even if we stake it we know that some how sooner we will be able to earn again with additional coins given thru staking.

Gaining passive profits is really good especially if we do trust the project that we choose, it's more than investing since you are also expecting generated profits out from your hold assets.

There are always bad and good side and it's only the investors who really assess the future of his investment who can decide which is which between the two,.

The answer will be differ from each opinions of people regarding to this matter, personal experienced
are always different from each traders and investors, You have to really observed and assess properly
whatever you think is better for your investment.

I think investing is a process of putting something on a particular project that will earn you something good in the future. Many people are still investing despite the year is coming to an end because they believe they can still achieve something good from their investment. Bitcoin price is reducing that is causing many trader fear about what they have invested to have a good profit from it.
I prefer investing than staking which can cause you lose your profit if you don't study the market very well.many people loss their money because of staking their coins for a long time that make scammer have access to their address details.

The truth is: investors really do not care about the products because they are just focusing on price appreciation wherein they will buy at low and they will sell it at high for them to make money, I'm more in investing and not staking especially in altcoins because what you just said it is so risky. Try to study the altcoins wherein after a year they lose their value then imagine if you choose to stake and of course for sure you will incur huge losses unlike in investing you will just sell it if the price of the token reach the target profit or if your invalidation level hit. When I do investing I make sure that I have cut losses because it is part of my risk management after all, for me investing is good than staking but still that question is subjective and it is really depend in your risk tolerance.

this time staking is much better than investing but that depends on how much your coins. Remember staking use proof of stake, the more coins you stake the more reward you got. I have been seeing some people were also complaining about very low ROI that they got it from investing in the IEO recently. That means the hype for IEO has gone.
This time people were starting to get the easiest way to get passive income like staking on BSC.
Honestly, im still doing both investing and staking. If you can did both and why not? That brings you good passive income and at the same time you can get capital gain through investing in the legit coins.

From the point of view of reliability or security - I would not stake my coins on third-party resources or incomprehensible smart contracts! Not your keys - not your coins!
But if you buy a node with the POS algorithm is a good solution, especially if you believe in the project...

On very few cases that you will see that staking make ROI more than investing. The staking is slow in return or accumulation but investment is more profitable. Imagine the increase with bitcoin since 2moths ago. Investing at a right timing can really see your account growing in profit.

[Sterbens]

equally important, because they have their respective benefits. if I choose clearly I will focus on investing, just minimizing. but staking is also good, for a fairly long period. As for investing, yes because I can control the price at any time and take advantage at that time.
back again depending on your taste. that's just my opinion.

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

Of course, as I know, there are many exchanges that support 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?

To me, Staking for projects with a low market cap or outside the top 20 CMC is gambling.
Such projects do not have strong financial funds behind support so ONE's price will also be very vulnerable. When the price is lower, your staking ratio will also decrease in the same direction. Sometimes you incur a loss when the price of ONE falls more than the profit you receive. So be careful when staking in such projects, the risk is very high.

[Zemomtum]

Staking and investing can be used interchangeably, when you are staking, you are investing. You can now look at various types of investment that are available in crypto space to know the one that really worth it for a long time.

True, staking is similar to gambling to some extent, if the coin price rises, you will get a lot of profits, but if the opposite happens and the price drops, then your loss will certainly be great.
I tried my luck once with a staking in the Atomic Wallet token (AWC) and I was lucky that the price of the token increased nearly three times and my profits tripled, but then the opposite happened and the token price decreased.

I think before making investment for the staking of earning profits we should need to know about the project in detail, if the team and the project is fine and having some good market reputation then go ahead and make some good handsome amount to you can earn better profits on your staking. I have an investment in one project presently which is good and sufficient for me.

[CarnagexD]

I would say that both got their own advantages, but in the long run investing is what would bring you bigger profits. In staking your coins are kept in place, basically forozen until you choose to decide what you want to with it. Although it's easier said than done. With investing you can broaden your portfolio by investing into multiple assets with the same amount of money you can use to stake. So for me, if you're looking for quick bucks, staking is the answer, but if you want long-term profits, investing is what you should go for.

[Nhor1011]

I would prefer for investing because I can earn bigger profit than staking. I already tried staking and it's just a small percentage of profit for a long period of time. But of course in investing you need to do a research and study about the project that you want to invest and you also need enough knowledge about it.

[Ucy]

Stakes are a hazardous route for making a profit since they rely upon the projects and the vast majority of activities are trick and Ponzi.
I lost heaps of cash their so I can not prescribe anybody to consider the stake.

I think it should be less risky to stake on deflationary/scarce coins with potential for steady growth.
I would avoid coins that aren't very useful, secure, decentralized, viable, easy-to-use, have committed/talented developers, have good strategies to keep attracting users etc

Completely agree here and one can take the example how Bitcoin investors made profits and compare how much they would have earned had they bought a token and earned staking rewards on that, surely Bitcoin investment profits are way higher than any staking rewards so it all depends on which coin one wants to stake or invest and based on that the decision can be taken.

I also avoid staking because you have to lose control over your coins during staking and that is not a safe option no matter how trusted the exchange is and even if it is Binance, I would still prefer to hold my keys with myself.

We all have our point and we have the right to make our own decision, actually staking is not bad, just know the risk and don't put everything to have in one exchange, just learn to minimize the risk, this is what we do. Exchange like Binance won't offer that to us if it does not give benefits for both parties and Binance is by far one of the most legit exchange in the market, they are not likely going to scam investors.

if you avoid that then you can use bitcoin instead because until now only bitcoin is very good for investment, even though it can't be used for staking but the results of investing from bitcoin have been very high. so I don't think there is any need to participate in staking projects that aren't necessarily safe.

[Wawa2013]

I have made a profit from staking and investing, when compared to the profit generated from investing, it is much greater than staking.
That is a reality that I have experienced myself, so I will without doubt choose investing over staking. But the risks faced are bigger investing,
therefore knowledge is needed to be successful in investing. So don't be lazy to learn all things related to investment, so you have good
knowledge, and can read the movement of coins in the market.
