investors will be able to receive passive income for storing coins

The dream of everyone!
Buy 100 coins, power up your laptop and earn money without doing anything!
What could be better, we could feed the whole of Afric with this....until the basic laws of economy start kicking in and you will receive a passive income of 0.0002 cents because everyone will be doing it.

How many time does it have to be posted or told here so everyone can understand?
If there is money to be made people will start doing it being it staking or hashing, the income per person decreases and ver time those that have higher cost will drop out or the reward will be close to zero for everyone at which point 99% will stop doing it.
There is no magical algorithm that will make everyone earn with zero effort and at the same time earn something meaningful.

as a matter of fact that is a very interesting question. and i believe the answer is no. the profit should theoretically stay the same no matter what the algorithm is.

think of it this way, all those who are mining bitcoin with current algorithm are going to continue mining bitcoin with new algorithm. so the reward (1800BTC/day) is still going to be distributed among the same number of miners with nearly the same share of the hashrate.
in short term we may see differences during that transition but the end result is the same!

The revenue, not the profit!
The total reward will stay the same, what might change would be the costs and nobody could anticipate how this will be in the first stage.

But at one point things will eventually arrive at the same point we're now, where you buy a mining gear or video card or cpu that will make ROI in 5-6 months and it will all depend on your costs.
If for instance, we turn to a cpu dedicated algo in the first days the reward will be enormous for a single cpu, then draw by the money people will strat buy cpu power in cloud, the reward will slowly drop, server farms will gain the edge over home miners who can't afford to keep the pace and....we will indeed end at step one.
So yeah, nothing will change in the long run.
