Remember those staking platforms like BlockFi that offered staking but later filed for bankruptcy? That’s one of the risks of staking, aside from the long-term contracts you have to agree to and cant control over it later.
It’s not just trading where you can lose money, you can just bounce back as long as you choose those crypto with potential. However, holding BTC remains one of the best ways to avoid losses and potentially gain profits over time.
If you don't trust centralized companies, adding liquidity yourself on reputable DEXs like Uni & Pancake is also quite safe: you still have full control over your tokens. Especially when adding liquidity for stablecoin pairs, you won't have to worry about price fluctuations in the market, and profits are always guaranteed.
For me, this isn't the time to talk about how to profit from stablecoins. We're still in an uptrend, and the price volatility of larger tokens is significantly greater than the APR that stablecoin holders can receive from staking/liquidity providing programs.
