Staking becomes risky. It is possble to lose all your USDT. Just remember the situation with Garantex. Such situation can happen with every exchange. And how it is possible to trust Tethere where you coins can be frozen.
You are correct 💯 but you know many holders are still looking for ways to make money more from their holdings.
I wouldn't support the motion that you have stake all your eggs at once because you are looking for ways to make money from the market. Rather than staking everything you have, it is better to stake a few percentage and keep holding the rest in a secured wallet where you are the only one that have full owner and access to it.
There are many staking pools that are being watched by hackers and any slightest error or bug, all holders tokens could be wiped off. We ought to be patient and take decisions wisely to avoid future regret because of lack of understanding of the crypto space. Take risks but the ones you can afford to loss.
