It is simple. Go for staking if you don't have enough cash for investment. Because as we know, mining needs a big amount of cash to start with. Also, with the current price of the coins right now (mining is dead for now)? I'd choose staking than mining.
Yes of course staking is more simple then mining but just remember , easy thing will be dangerous and less profits then hard stuffs. Mining isn't dead at all, right now miners are gathering the cheapest hardwares and wait for the next pump to plug in all their ants again.
