How do you maximize your idle Solana ?

[MUGNIA]

hmm, this is worth trying, because I have staking in one of the coins when I want to release the staking it requires extraordinary funds so I just leave it until the reward from staking can cover the cost of releasing the staking

You may have staked SOL on the Sol network and still receive rewards when unstaking. On Binance, when unstaking SOL ahead of schedule, users will need to wait a few days and receive less SOL, exactly the amount of original SOL minus the staking rewards they received. This does not create a loss, but it often prevents users from unstaking ahead of schedule.

If an investor knows how to trade and does not focus on airdrops from new projects in the SOL ecosystem, he will rarely stake his SOL in the long term. SOL has had large price fluctuations, for example, a 45% drop from 295 USD to 160 USD, meaning that stakers did not receive rewards equal to the depreciation of SOL in the market. I only save tokens on Binance so that I can sell whenever I need to.

Well, that's what I'm afraid of if there is a price drop, that's why I think about how many times to do staking, and I'm afraid that when I suddenly need money, if it's on the exchange, at least even if I lose, I don't owe other people who often charge interest (loan sharks).

Flexible Saving might be a better option for your crypto assets that you might need to sell in the short term. For example, if I have 10 SOL, I can stake 8 SOL, and leave 2 SOL in Flexible Saving even though its APY is significantly lower. It can help me feel more comfortable and proactive for any unexpected events.

As I said, the rewards from staking are also very small compared to the hundreds of percent increase in the price of SOL. Staking is sometimes just a way for holders to hold more firmly, they will have to consider and be more cautious before wanting to trade instead of holding.

staking causes downward pressure on the rise of any big staking coin.

Ie both ETH and Solana are showing signs of the downward price pressure.

We have serious issue  with  the eth and solana  they are sucking each other downwards price wise and worse yet a clone of either coin is only a possible announcement  away (conjecture that may be true or not)

Until BTC rises up again  we have issues.

Is that problem very serious? It seems very scary that the problem that arises from Sol and ETH, BTC goes up and creates problems, goes down and makes problems more confusing for this coin in my opinion

I agree that staking has many benefits, such as creating decentralization and reducing the amount of active circulating supply on the market. However, from an investor's point of view, holding is also a way to reduce selling pressure, while not missing the opportunity to take profits at the most appropriate time. As I know, when a staker wants to unstake SOL, he needs to wait 1-3 epochs ~ 2-4 days to receive SOL back.

SOL price has had a fairly strong price correction and many stakers are regretting not being able to take profits when the SOL price was above 250 USD. I hope the market will soon grow again and push the SOL price to 500 USD or 1000 USD this year.

Instead of reducing the amount of SOL in circulation, the incentive from SOL will actually be another threat when the staking period is over.. so I think it's balanced, between selling pressure and buying pressure... SOL will remain stable even though the number of stakers increases....

After experiencing a slight recovery, I think it will continue to reach $170 in the near future... considering that SOLANA will also experience an unlock period until April, the price of solana will find it difficult to reach $500 until May 2025...

Of course our hope is that the price will increase in Q4 2025 after using up the unlocked solana..

Is Q4 really the era of altcoin season? because I read several times in the post, some say that altcoin season will really happen in Q4. but this is also tricky, there is no guarantee for that.

And for SOL, we all hope that this coin will always go up and have a high value. At least, leaving its rival BNB to continue to go up, it just seems to be a very tight competition. So, now we know how SOL is actually quite good to go back up, it's just that the market conditions are like this

From what I have read, it seems that staking is the best way to take advantage of your HODLed SOL. Maybe there is some other type of coin that would be worthy of staking. It's a nice time to buy more SOL as well, but I'm hesitant about how it will be, knowing that it's known as the network for meme coins.

A few months ago, Telegram has become the blockchain of these new meme coins, but Solana took it over because of pump.fun. I expect that it will happen in the future with another blockchain out there. We don't know which blockchain is it, but I predict that there will be another blockchain out there where meme coins can be created and that will be the new home for these shitcoin meme coin.

Aside from Bitcoin, I'm not holding any altcoins that I can't stake. I mean I want to maximize the coin so instead of just holding it and waiting for the token to appreciate in order to make profit, why not just stake them. You're holding and at the same time, earning as well. Of course, we need to do a research as well and don't just pick a staking coin that gives around 100% APR. For me, SOL is a good long term coin, and around the so-called "Ethereum Killer" projects out there, I believe SOL is the closest one.

As for another type of coin that would be worthy of staking, I'm a bit bias with this one so I'll pick Cosmos ATOM.
