Are you implying you can’t get liquidity from staked coins? This can be worked around by posting your stake as collateral.

There are more effective ways to make money in PoS networks than staking.

Staking is not all that profitable, really. The rich get richer at a rate which is comparable to a Vanguard ETF but the price volatility is much higher than a Vanguard ETF.
