I do not recommend staking on anything that has not a long lasting record of real use for the network, since staking is just about getting rewarded for the safety of a network and that only makes sense if the network has sufficient transactions to make it even worth being secured. Many people are confused with words such as "dividends" or "returns" but the truth is that value cannot be generated without user willing to use the underlying network. How many use cases are already in place for the network of your choice? Probably none.

Yes, this is what I am trying to get out. Most of the posts in this thread seem like brainless pyramid feeders/suckers.
What is the value that the holder of your coins gains that allows them to pay you out a "dividend?"

The holder is not a company that purchase which produces profits, e.g. stocks.
The holder is not a bank that can loan out your money for a higher return and give you a cut, e.g.fixed term deposit accounts.

I can see how it could work in a network like Cardano where proof of stake is required. You get a cut of the fees and mined coins. But in general, how can it work?
