There is no “regular staking” on Algorand, because Algorand works on a PPoS consensus rather than DPoS. If you’re talking about the free airdrops from last year, that’s just pointless coin inflation, pushing down the coin price, and causing more harm than good in the long run. What you guys don’t get, is that you are already taking on **huge risks** by holding an extremely volatile asset that could potentially go to 0 if it never gets adopted in terms of actual usage. Trying to safe-guard “risk-free returns” is, in fact, far more risky, because you’re essentially holding well over half of the entire ecosystem hostage and stagnant. That’s ultimately going to kill the entire ecosystem, and your “risk-free returns” will all be meaningless because they will be worth 0. Cutting governance returns may cause a tiny bit of short term pain, but bowing down to a bunch of leeches who are only here for “risk-free returns” and don’t care about the success of the entire ecosystem is extremely short-sighted and bad for the ecosystem in the long run. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.algorand.co/t/evolving-algorand-governance/6646)._
