Staking is better than saving but it all boils down to your intention. If you intend to save your money, you can put it in the bank. I do fixed deposits sometimes and it is kinda profitable too. Someone elsewhere might not be too comfortable wuth staking because when you stake your money, you are at the liberty of losing it when the trade or business goes south. It's not everyone who have the confidence to stake. So when you can't stake, you have the option of saving. Saving money is like an alternative to anyone who's willing to keep his funds while avoiding spending or losing it.
