In my opinion, such pools are relevant if a crypto enthusiast has fairly large savings, for example $10k. And people like me, for example, have nothing to do there with a small deposit. Yes, and I am inclined not to keep large deposits on the CEX exchange. Because at any moment the exchange may freeze your funds, and some new conditions may also force you to undergo verification; in any case, your nerves will get frayed. Regarding pools, I want to say that maybe there are sites with good profits for small investments, but I don’t know them.
I agree that with a large deposit, you have a better chance of getting a good reward, but if you deposit a small amount, you will still be able to increase your current balance if the project is successful. What is more important here is what you expect from the investment result, with a small amount in any project, you should not count on something big, you need to start small. As for security, there have been cases of funds being frozen, you should be more careful with this and keep everything under control.
