How much can you earn staking in Ethereum 2.0?

Ethereum 2.0 is getting closer by the day. We know it will be a massive improvement in the blockchain ecosystem to generate extremely fast transactions and scalability beyond what we already know…

The main aspect of Ethereum 2.0 is that mining will be gone and it will be transformed into staking for validating blocks. Which means users will have to lock down 32 ETH in a smart contract and receive a yearly profit to generate blocks.

But how much can you actually earn by participating in the PoS technology? Truth is, sources say that it will be around 4% to 6% in yearly profit but in reality, I expect it to be much more for one simple reason:

When Ethereum 2.0 is released, many miners will switch to this new way of mining by buying ether which will automatically increase the value of the entire blockchain massively.

How much? Nobody knows but you can predict ETH to multiply its value if you’re being optimistic.

That means if you join and buy those 32 ETH required to become a validator or “miner” you’ll probably invest in a great future since Ethereum will increase in value.
