Most people think Ethereum will continue to go down but what they don't realize is that if the core Ethereum devs ever enable staking unlock, the price will dump down to 200 dollars or less. It could be a long time until people's staked ETH is unlocked. I prefer self DeFi over Ethereum POS rewards because you have more control and the potential profits are higher. Ethereum only pays out about 4% APY. Compare that with Cake or MAXX finance, which can pay out 80%+ staking rewards.
