I think instead of holding coins without providing additional value, it is better to stake. While waiting for the coin price to increase, the number of coins will continue to grow every day. However, if we compare it to short-term trading, staking is less profitable than trading.
I know that it's good to stake but I choose not to stake. I'm already good holding my own stakable coins if that's not part of the plan. It will continue everyday but it's not that much so it's better to have it stored and have it added from my own budget if I got to invest again and buy more coins at my will. Although no one stops to stake because I also like the idea, it's just my decision and choice not to.
