Staking on ETH 2.0

[eaLiTy]

With the recent launch of Ethereum 2.0, people are now rushing to the launchpad for staking

But is it worth it?

The rewards are looking very appealing but the stake is going to stay illiquid for a long time. Will a third party staking provider help in mitigating some risk?

If you have 32 ETH you can stake your coins, if not find people whom you can trust and accumulate the coins which i think many are doing as i have seen certain groups staking the coins from multiple investors, it has its risk and sure the coins will be stuck.

The annual reward for staking is 15.72% with 180 days lock up period which means monthly you might get around 0.4 ETH

I have heard of some exchanges providing eth2 staking services to their users. One of the such exchanges is Binance: https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/a640a714e067433abae871f6b621836f

However, it doesn't solve the problem of the staked eth being illiquid for a long period of time according to this section:

Lock-up period: For participating ETH 2.0 Staking, the ETH will be locked up for about 2 years and cannot be redeemed in advance.

The benefit of using exchanges like Binance or Coinbase to stake is that they take care of all operational costs and penalties if any. The long staking period seems to be from eth2 itself to ensure the network is kept live till Beacon chain goes life sometime in 2022.

Not bad eth 2.0 staking. Eth price is constantly rising. When bitcoin price pumps, so does eth pump. Eth has a much larger market cap than many large companies today. For example, Ethereum's market cap surpasses GM, CME, and tech stocks. Ether price has rallied 322% year-to-date and its $67 billion market cap now surpasses General Motors and CME Group. So the future of eth seems very bright.

I've done some research as per the articles that I read the annual return is around 8%-16% for validator itself you will not be able to withdraw your Ethereum until the Phase 2 which is 2 years but some pool providers allows their investors to withdraw it by implementing ERC-20 tokens that can be sold as 1:1 to Ethereum.

Looking at how the bitcoin is still in Bullish, I think its worth it.
But it will be very depends on the person, for me personally I prefer staking rather than trading since I dont have the time to watch the chart all day. But, considering the staking duration which could take up to 1 year, I think I would need to think several times.

As long as you use idle funds to buy the ether, it will not be a big problem.

You have a point I think what really good in staking is that you will have a guaranteed profit it's an annual income but I think if you are a good trader you would be able to get 20% in just a week or month but it is risky to trade your coins.

If you can't trade, staking is a great way to make money. Moreover, staking on ETH 2.0 is worth a try,
and the price of Ethereum continues to rise, this will greatly benefit. Most importantly choosing good platforms,
so you can stake safely. I myself prefer trading over staking, because in my opinion, with the same capital,
by trading can generate bigger profits.

ETH 2.0 is not launched at all, this is phase 0 and we are nearly a year away from actually staking with ETH, this misinformation needs to be fixed. People can talk about how much 2.0 will profit them and what the staking will be like or whatever they want about ETH 2.0 whenever they want and wherever they want.

However this is not it, you guys need to be well informed before going into this or you are going to be very upset over the fact that your money will be locked for a very long time. We are at a stage where we are in phase 0 right now where we are moving towards the inevitable 2.0 that has been approved, loved and expected by thousands if not millions of people, however we are not there yet and some people thinking what just happened was 2.0 is the proof that people are misinformed.

If I am not mistaken, Binance offers up to 20% annual profit. And they are also offering BETH in place of your Ethereum which is locked out for staking. BETH is a wrapped token based on Ethereum 1:1. So even if you have no access to your staked ETH you still have the opportunity to trade as if your ETH is still in your position because your BETH is also tradable on their platform.

Of course it will be illiquid because it is staking. No need for a third party staking provider, it will just complicate things in an already complicated process. At this point? we can't really say if it's worth it because the initial capital is too big, at least for me. And only those who can afford it can make money in the beginning, that is if the business model can really pay you out, so let's see how it goes.

Third parties provide advantages and disadvantages to those who are interested to stake ETH.

But if your concern is the huge starting amount of ETH to be able to participate in the staking, third parties will really be an advantage. On your own, you need 32 ETH to become a validator. But participating in the likes of Binance Staking, you only need to have at least 0.0001 ETH to join and earn profit and additional rewards.

Yeah, but with that small amount=small rewards as well so I don't know if it will be satisfying to join the Binance staking, but as well do your trade as average joe's and squeezing some profit in a week or two and earn more than 0.0001 ETH. And as pointed out by @FanEagle, your money will be lock for a long time.

The annual return is just numbers for now, as we haven't fully grasp how big or small it will really be.

8%-16% is still good annual earnings especially if the ETH price will be mooning as well and it's likely going this way too since bullrun season as they say. It must be worth toe have 32ETH. This is optional anyway but I wouldn't recommend your tokens get locked for a long period of time. If you have experienced just any other staking tokens, it doesn't take months to unstake and send out your coins.

stalking is more suitable for holders of long-term investments while waiting for the price to rise, you can bet too. but the risk is that if the price goes down you can lose, but in my opinion it is not bad. After all, ethereum is also the top coin and its price always moves significantly. I believe Ethereum has great potential for the long term.

Hello note that it's not for the person who isn't eligible to hold ethereum for years. Getting 10% per year staking plan is huge & awesome. It's real move for Ethereum team. I don't think you will lose funds in usd value.

But I don't think its profitable for me since i don't have this amount of Eth currently. But I am thinking to contribute third-party Ethereum pool.  It's bullish trend coin so it's worth to invest & stake for the future.

ETH upgrades their security, scalability, and sustainability. And the upgraded ETH is Called ETH2.0. That's why lots of people staking the coin for more profit. So, if you wish to earn more, you should be staking a long time in ETH 2.0. Because ETH 2.0 use upgrading smart contact. You can be staking or be holding ETH 2.0 Monthly or yearly.

[vaultman]

When the fundraising for ETH 2.0 took place, it was not clear what this would lead to, many refused, thinking that the value of ETH would fall and then investors would be left with nothing at all, since the tokens would be locked. Now, I think, many have already realized that they did the right thing by investing in staking. By the end of the year, it became obvious that the value of ETH would approach $ 1000 next year, or even exceed this threshold.

Instead of stacking, once can also make good profits by selling high buying low. On the other hand, ETH will be locked for more than 2 years.

You will definitely face such a problem when selling expensive, the price will become even higher and you will not be able to buy back cheap. You can't be guaranteed to make a profit this way. Trading theoretically gives more profit than holding, but in practice this happens quite rarely.

To be honest, I do not know what the benefits of staking ethereum as I do not stake like other people. I still prefer to trade ethereum pair bitcoin or usdt which I think that can give me more profit in a short time. Maybe I will search for more details about the news, so if I think that will give another profit to me, I will try to stake. But still, staking 32 ethereum is a lot for me.

I think it's like that too, because currently the price of ethereum is also expensive so when compared to other altcoins it is better to stake in altcoins besides ethereum,
yes I appreciate that the Ethereum 2.0 staking makes Ethereum strong in terms of price, and this makes Ethereum's bullish continue.

[jacafbiz]

Ethereum 2.0 has created a lot of opportunities for some people and I think Ethereum itself is not deriving the value it was anticipated is going to gain, all these new tokens being launched and pegged to Ether price are sucking value away from it, and I believe exchanges are going to take advantage of this because they are set up to make money above any other thing.

The benefits of staking ETH for you would be to stake it, thats as simple as it gets and nothing really that major. Normally who makes money from new ETH minted? The miners, and you need rigs and machines to become a miner, it would require a hefty investment to do that. Who will make ETH with this new 2.0 version? Everyone who holds 32+ ETH will make money from it instead.

So, your profit from this would be to not care about machines and equipment and bills and many other things and basically start mining ethereum without any problem, just own 32 of them and you are ready to go. Plus ETH is a trusted project, second in rank, king of altcoins and all that which means ETH is a good coin to invest as well, not only you will make from your staking, but ETH will probably go up in price as well, which means you will earn money from both of them at the same time.

Of course it is a prediction that we might expect, if it doesn't happen and the price goes down, will it also go down according to the current price. If there is an increase in accordance with what you say, of course there will be no problem. frankly, I myself do not understand what is possible that we will get.

means that there will be two criteria that will equal, namely;
1. deposits
if the price drops anyway, the funds we save will remain the same as when we save them and we get the interest.
2. stock exchange.
if the stock price falls, we will receive a loss, but if it increases, we will get additional value.

whether staking is between the two, obviously I am still confused about staking, because the current value of 32eth is certainly a large value.
