I just stake decred. Years ago I was much more ambitious and after losing money in multiple exchange hacks, and then losing nearly everything again in the ethereum DAO exploit, I will never again leave coins around outside of my own custody. Few cryptos let you stake easily while maintaining complete custody of your coins

Last I checked, I averaged just over the current annual roi at about 5%, but back in 2017 roi was higher at like 7% so you can do the math to see how much I have :)

It's all a bit of a blessing and a curse though. The year I made over 20k staking, I actually paid ~35% tax on that without realizing any profit in USD but thankfully I had enough money to handle that
