if we hold good coins in market and price could maintain due developers developtment, i my opinion staking could be good decision for us. we will have two benefit when staking good projects, first from yearly return and second for staking periode price could rise due demand on staking pool. but mostly it work in good project
I think like you, staking will allow you to achieve financial freedom and finding the right project to do it will be really great in the long run.
