Staking is a good way to increase the amount of the assets by holding for some periods. Before you stake, you need to know that the rewards need some time to increase and sometimes, when the price increase but you do not earn much amount so you still need to wait for more.
In investing we normally earn a profit once the value of the coins increases but on staking we can earn less once the price of the coins increases? So that means, the only way to earn huge is when the price of the coin decreases? ah so staking is like the opposite of investing.
We can include staking in our investing activity so that whatever happens with the price, either it will rise or fall, we can still expect to earn a profit. We should only be wise though and cash out the profits once we think its already sufficient so that we won't lose it eventually. We can always start again at the beginning by putting smaller amounts, rinse and repeat.
Usually an investor chooses to staking, they will not be interested in the short-term price increase. Staking helps us to increase the number of coins we hold, is a form of passive income when someone doesn't have time for day trading or they prefer to be safe.
The staking will not be able to give quick returns like investing or day trading but it is safe and idle.
If you are a savvy investor and want to maximize your profits, you should combine the two. This will help you stay flexible and not passive.
