Well, yes staking is a good way of earning through crypto but do mind that it is also has a risk but yeah less risky than other means of earning through crypto currency, well the reason is that if you would notice there are a lot of new crypto currency ornproject emerging right now, airdrops for example and most of airdrops offer staking after they give airdrops to the users or thos who wants to invest to their coins, that is much less risky because you will only do task to be eligible for airdrops and you can put it into staking so that if the coin has its price now then you will have a good amiunt of profit but of course if you will only stake using your own money then consider the risk and stake on a currency that is most likely to have a potential to grow even just a short term.

I did my research on staking some time back and it looked like something that I will be willing to try in the future.  However all of the modes of earning passive income have risks even staking. For example, due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies  and fall in price will easily outweigh  the rewards that the individual can earn from staking. In addition, the counterparty risk. I think I will be able to take on the other risks of minimum lock up and the waiting period for each blockchain to get back my coins but can bear the former. I think that Crypto lending bears the same risks but it is even better than staking.
