You mean staking

Let me ask, is there any big different staking makes vs HODLing?

You can also use Bitcoin as a payment method for your business, You can trade bitcoin, you can set up a currency exchange base on Bitcoin, you can provide a lending service based on Bitcoin etc

The possibilities are many if you think outside the box

That's not Bitcoin!

There are numerous users in this forum ho are into lending though. Accounts was used as collateral back in the days which was a win win for those who lend BTC which they could even sell those accounts. Seem a very good business at one point.

Since OP is already liking ETH, he should just do some Defi in Eth since the feature he is looking can't be done in BTC.

Bitcoin is digital gold. You don't make more gold by holding it do you?

Ethereum is more like a company with a product, and staking it gives you something like a dividend.

Two different things.

Since we already have already now decentralized finance (defi), there are already some platforms now where you can stake your Bitcoin, what is happening here is you convert your Bitcoin to another wrapped-bitcoin on another network.
And through this, some platforms accept "stake" where you can stake your wrapped bitcoin to earn interest.

The truth is there are not many ways to multiply our bitcoin, so either people stop being holders and they become traders trying to time the market and open and close their positions at the right time, or people could also begin to lend their coins.

However it does not matter what option people select to try to multiply their coins, those which want to do this will have to accept a higher risk by doing so, and while this may not seem like a big deal, it is, as if you do not change the way you approach the market you could find yourself losing a great deal of money instead of earning any.

As an investor, of course, you are ready to wait for years, and I think it is passive income that is difficult to rely on to meet your daily needs. however, with trading we will be able to multiply money more easily and quickly, but must master the science of trading, or take greater risks. and what is expected is that there will be many transactions in the bitcoin market, so that there will always be price fluctuations. both have their own characteristics both trading and investing. so that we should be able to judge ourselves which step to take

Certainly, one of the comedic ironies of Bitcoin is that it's as active as a hibernating bear when it comes to earning interest! Bitcoin, in its purest form, is indeed a proof-of-work coin that demands little more than a hodler's unwavering faith.

However, in the spirit of friendly correction, there are ways to put your Bitcoin to work. Cryptocurrency lending platforms allow you to lend out your Bitcoin for a period and earn interest. Just be sure to buckle up for a bumpy ride as lending your coins can be as exhilarating as a roller-coaster ride, with a dash of risk involved!

As for RSK Bitcoin, it's a smart contract platform secured by the Bitcoin network. Think of it as a postgraduate degree for Bitcoin, where it gets to learn all the cool stuff like smart contracts and dApps, which were previously the forte of Ethereum. It offers the benefit of harnessing Bitcoin's superior security while expanding its functionality. Quite a bright kid, isn't it?

Yes it is possible to make profit in Bitcoin but that is only when u hold then wait for the price to increase. And if u can't wait for the price to increase you can also trade.

You can stake your Bitcoins with platforms such as exchanges to get some interest which is very low and not worth the time you will need to keep your Bitcoins locked. Other than that, you can use your Bitcoins to make trades on a daily basis if you know how to do that well and you can increase your Bitcoin holdings that way.

These are the two ways that one can use their Bitcoins to make more Bitcoins. If you want to do none of these two, then your only option is to simply just keep holding and sell when the price is pretty high, buy again when it's low, and keep repeating that.

There are various program on exchanges that gives an interest if you apply to their program.  All you need to do is deposit your Bitcoin to their program and start earning. It is one of the proven way to earn BTC while holding BTC but it is very risky because we are entrusting our Bitcoin to other hands.


RSK also known as Rootstock is a sidechain that is secured by the Bitcoin network.
