Staking in a bear market: still a good move?

So, with everything looking pretty red lately, I’ve been wondering about staking. Back in the bull run, it felt like free money, but now with prices down and rewards sometimes following, is it still worth locking up funds? I’m trying to shift my mindset from chasing quick flips to building a longer-term bag, and staking seems like it should fit that strategy. But I’m curious are you all still staking through this? What are you looking at, and does the potential for more tokens outweigh just holding liquid and maybe buying dips? Would love to hear what others are thinking.
