When I first heard about staking, the thought was simple: "Hold the coins and earn interest. It can't get easier than that." And you know what? It really works. But only if you don't stumble upon the pitfalls.
💸 My first experience with staking: I put my ETH into one of the pools. After 6 months, I got… 8% profit. Sounds cool, but the withdrawal fee ate half of it. Genius, right?
🔥 What is important to understand:
1. Percentage ≠ income. If the token depreciates, even 100% annual returns won’t save you.
2. Liquidity matters. In some staking platforms, you can't withdraw your coins whenever you want. They are frozen.
3. Risks from hackers. DeFi is the wild west. If a smart contract is broken, you can lose everything.
💡 My advice: Choose projects with a reputation and diversify your risks. And remember: freebies are not a thing in crypto.
