180 days look a good choice if the goal is to have flexibility over your investment on medium term, but it's still possible to earn 5% extra interest on FUN if you pick 360 days. For those who aren't in a hurry and don't pretend to make profit from FUN speculation I think it worths to lock the funds for the longest possible alternative. Meanwhile premium benefits keep activated on the account generating extra profit for holders.
So in every cases it's not a total waste of time.
6 months is not a short period especially in crypto market that is very volatile. So if you want to do things which last 6 months, you must be sure that you don't touch that capital in next 6 months or even a bit longer. It means you have reserve budget to spend for many things and that capital is untouchable and you will still be fine without it.
FreeBitco.in is good so FUN token has good support from FreeBitco.in. Consequently, FUN token has good future to grow.
That will not be a problem if you have a plan with your investment, not just in FUN tokens because I am sure that is also applied with the other investment.
The staking process can take some time, but if the holders agree using that way, they will usually lock their FUN and not use it for other things.
Maybe that can be the way to prevent worry that can happen in the fluctuating of the market because we do not always check the staking process and will let it run like that.
Hopefully, FUN can still grow in the future, although FUN prices now tend to go down.
