To my understanding, staking usdt, usdc etc in your portfolio is a waste of assets and resources; why? because it is no different from using the native banking system fixed deposit method which we all know yields little to nothing in profits when we evaluate the turn over in a year. I think the most appropriate thing to do is to consider other investment options. Which options are there?

1. Trade your usdt/usdc in spots daily targeting atleast 1-5% per day (depending on your trading skills amongst others)
2. Participate nft flipping in opensea, (confirm that you have the skills, knowledge and experience to do this)
3. If you can, it is profitable flipping bitcoin lately on binance; if your usdt/usdc capital is huge; you can target simple %
4. Try participating in IDO events (especially on arbitrum network, the trends favor that chain lately)

I would suggest you avoid the expensive chains; the market is too bearish to spend so much funds on gas fees.
My humble opinion sir

Thanks for your suggestion. I haven't seen that much of returns on "De-Fi", probably because we're in a bearish market. Your chances for profit get lower if there are more people staking (lending) than borrowing. It's certainly not a good idea to stake on centralized platforms like Binance and Coinbase, especially when exchanges have been known to collapse in the past (eg: Mt. Gox and FTX).

If you don't have access to the keys, then you don't control your crypto. It's as simple as that. Both Polygon and BSC have ultra-low gas fees, so I think I'll give them a shot. Who knows how much I'll earn by the time the next bull market comes in?  Roll Eyes
