To be honest, for me staking in cryptocurrencies is not a good thing,
because I once started staking and the results were still negative and I tried to just trade and the results were even better,
so it's better for us to learn technical analysis, if we can, then trading will be more profitable than just staking.
the problem op asked is not trading vs staking but hold vs staking. when talking about staking vs trading it really depends on what altcoin you choose, the site you use for staking, and of course also your ability in trading. trading can provide greater profits from staking but can also provide greater losses, this really depends on the factors I mentioned earlier.
