I never realized how addictive staking was

I've always been skeptical of staking, because all it does is create inflation and drive the price of individual coins down, which creates a net real gain of 0%.

The only way to make big gains is by finding coins that have huge potential to go up in value, regardless of the ability to stake or not.

I still think this is true purely mathematically.

But two days ago, I moved my ALGO into the official wallet, and I noticed that the staking rewards update every few seconds... I was absolutely hooked.

It was like playing an RPG game or an idle game and just slowly watching your character gain more exp and level up and get stronger and richer.

I must have stared at my phone for 30 minutes straight watching it move.

I think staking just became my new hobby.
