the idea of passive income with crypto sounds great but there's a lot of risk that comes with it.

Staking is one of the most popular ways to earn passive income but it's not without its downsides. The returns can fluctuate and depending on the coin you might be locked in for a certain period of time. If the market takes a downturn, you're stuck with those coins and that can really hurt.

There have been cases where platforms froze withdrawals or had issues with liquidity. Its hard to trust platforms that aren't fully transparent or that haven't been around long enough to prove their reliability.
