You mean hyip or ponzi that promises you a certain number of interest? Those are the only type of investment I know that gives you daily percentage of profit which is not advisable to be invested. It has a high risk of losing your money.
Staking is also a kind of investment that you need to invest first before you can start performing or staking and it is better than the investment that you are asking about.
Certainly not Ponzi, but I do not know if it is called Hyip. The investment I am talking about is by registering at some sites and then depositing some coins on the site and then getting a percentage of the profits on a daily or monthly basis.
I have subscribed to some of these sites and have been defrauded so I am asking if staking is safer than this.
