Be careful while investing in any pools. Last month I just lost 1500 dollars in investing in pools. My investment was in cake and its price went down. All thanks to Elon Musk. If BTC down then everything will be down. So invest what you can afford to loose.
What pool did you invest in? I haven't invested to any pool nor farm and I'm just getting some ideas too on the people who have been sharing their thoughts about these two on this thread since I just saw this thread appeared.
Pancakeswap pools is better than farming, and less risky. Farming means you are providing liquidity and it has loss risk while Staking means you just buy and stake them in the syrup pools and has no risk. Only price movement here is concern, however I do stake on pools and it's risk free.
This is the reason why I prefer staking, the risk is nothing compared to the two that have been asked. There's no need for us to take risks and it's like holding with some rewards although very low but still a legit source.
