Staking is what you do if your a holder.  The only thing that is bad about staking is if you want to panic sell.  Some of them have un bonding periods.  But one of the other comments here said something like what if you bought at 1.00 and staked it and now its at .50  so true you are down half your investment.   But your still earning interest and when the market recovers then it goes back to a dollar and you have earned more from staking.  For me if I bought at a dollar and it goes to 50 cents.  Then I just buy more and stake that as well.
