Try with 10,000$ and see the difference, stakes are for rich people but also we have defi staking that takes 30,60,90 days just to get 3-15% returns I think this are better than yearly staking.
I also do staking with a small amount because I think this is a trial, and within 2 months I get a 15% return from the percentage of the total amount I put there, but the problem is that the price of the coins I hold drops. but its okay, just wait until the price goes up.
