Smart or Dumb?

Hi Friends,

I can’t tell if a crypto move was smart or dumb, so maybe you can tell me.

I had 150 CAKE coin laying around, which is about $1,100 currently. Pancakeswap changed their pools recently, and I had this in their auto compounding pool, making roughly 60% APY.  This was nothing spectacular, but it could be unstated at any time.

Well, with their recent change, you can earn a lower amount by staking in their regular pool, but they increased the payout for those who lock their coin in varying dates.  I decided to do the max, and lock these 150 CAKE coins in for a year at 190% APY.

![A3C7E455739E44B28633C0D582C92DA6.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/mQr71hV.jpg)

On one hand, I am getting a much better APY on the same coins so very smart.  The $1,100 will be worth around $3,300 when unstated in a year, assuming the price stays at the current $8 per coin.  On the other hand, I locked myself out of being able to sell the coins for a year, and if they spike to $100 during that time, I will not be able to do anything about it, so pretty dumb.

What do you think of locking in coins for a year to get a higher yield - smart or dumb?

Thanks for coming by,
Brian

I don’t know. It’s really tempting for that APR, but if it does spike you’ll be kicking yourself because it won’t be that high when it vests.
