Which do people prefer? Staking/Masternodes or mining?
I personally prefer setting up masternodes...
You
COMPLETELY control the collateral and the ROI is often
MUCH better than staking and mining.
However, they can be pretty difficult to set up. But I found this cool service that guides you through the entire process for only $50 and can get your masternode set up in only a couple hours...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3213738Mining nowadays is not possible on ordinary CPUs rather you need expensive ASIC hardware like antminers to mine BTC and other cryptos profitably. Mining hardware also eats too much electricity, that's why mining compared to staking take time to give you profit. Staking your coins in a special wallet is just a one-time investment compared to continuous spending on mining hardware.
