Actually staking is the same as letting go of your money and trusting other people to manage it, and you get a small portion of that (interest). In general, the loan interest is determined by the lender, while the staking concept of the platform determines the interest on our money.
If we have some money, why are we staking, which we should be able to use to benefit from Bitcoin trading.
It's also not wrong when someone is staking, remembering to avoid financial risks when trading. For me, staking unstable coins is more profitable than staking stable coins.

That can be said about centralized staking. But with decentralized staking, that's another story. You're trusting your funds to the protocol, instead of a third-party. Things can go wrong if the platform is hacked or the stablecoin loses its parity to the US Dollar in an instant. Those are the risks involved with decentralized staking. But I still think it's a better alternative than just saving money in a bank.

With the collapse of major banks across the US, no one is safe these days. It's all a matter of diversifying your investment to reduce the risks of loss as much as possible. Who knows if stablecoins improve to a point where they will become "immune" from real world events? Just my opinion

I can't understand decentralized staking and centralized staking yet. In general, staking is betting our money on a platform. Do the platforms just ignore the money there and they give us interest? Of course what is given is the advantage they get. Many staking platforms fail because they are unable to pay the promised APY/APR.
It's a different story with hacks or stable coins being strong in the future.
For example, if we are staking with one ETH, we will get 2.7% APR in 120 days or 0.027 ETH. If we trade a 120 day timeframe with 1 ETH, I think we will get more profit than that. From that basis I say trading is better than staking.
