my question is what is difference between HODL and staking
I see not big differences between both of methods, But staking means you have to transfer your coins for any staking platform or third party so it might be risky because you have no control with your money. On the other hand in case of Hodl you can buy a coin and if you want to store it for short term or long term, And can withdraw anytime but for staking you have to wait for a certain time as like one weeks or 12 weeks with interest.
It doesn't necessarily mean that in all staking you have to wait for some time before you can unstake your coins/tokens. On some platforms, you can have access to flexible staking where you can unstake anytime you want and there is also the fixed time staking which I believe you are talking about. Either way, both are good ways to hodl your cryptocurrencies but staking gives you passive income.
