During in bear time I think staking bitcoin is best option because have passive income as staking reward and another side we are investor in bitcoin when price still drop, except with scalping is worth but I looks staking more promising to earn profit. Just for investor want to hold in long term, but for trader with short term keep scalping are the best choose for them. Not easy try earn profit with scalping this bear time, we can't predicting about bitcoin suddenly going down although have reach good price.
