I have been staking tezos for about a month now through coinbase as I dont have 500 to make a roll,so ive delegated my tez to coinbase who give me a running balance of what ive earned. Right now my tez is making about 14-15% return value so I'd say its a sound investment as long as the coin maintains value of increases. I have seen my tezos also increase in value over the last month and am about to get my 1st payout for "rolling" my tezos then ill get a payout about every 3 days. In my opinion tezos has a future in the crypto community and heres why...i'll let the foundation do the talking from here on out till the end where ill provide a link for you to get some free tezos. I will also provide a link where you may also get free tezos from coinbase learn and by the end of this article you'll be a pro at tezos.

Tezos is an open-source platform for assets and applications that can evolve by upgrading itself. Stakeholders govern upgrades to the core protocol, including upgrades to the amendment process itself.

Self-Amendment

"Self-amendment allows Tezos to upgrade itself without having to split (“fork”) the network into two different blockchains." This makes tezos stable and easily amended by devolpers.

On-Chain Governance

"In Tezos, all stakeholders can participate in governing the protocol. The election cycle provides a formal and systematic procedure for stakeholders to reach agreement on proposed protocol amendments."This is all handled directly on the blockchain yeah thats right every staker gets a say. This makes tezos very unique in that the community governs how the chain develops.

Decentralized Innovation

"Proposed amendments that are accepted by stakeholders can include payment to individuals or groups that improve the protocol."This means that developers are encouraged to create new ideas to be adopted and it not hard.

Smart Contracts & Formal Verification

"Tezos offers a platform to create smart contracts and build decentralized applications that cannot be censored or shut-down by third parties."

This means smart contracts are protected and easier to implement.

Proof-of-Stake (PoS)

"Participants (“nodes”) in decentralized, peer-to-peer networks provide the necessary computational resources that keep a network up and running."

Any member of the Tezos community can participate in this protocol, this makes it incentivised to help support the blockchain network through pos.

Delegation

"In PoS, a security deposit is required to participate in the consensus process and avoid being diluted by inflation. " This is protected by a mechanism that will take bad actors out of the works and they may even lose their deposit. So treat tezos with resonsibility and enthusiasm and you'll make some tezos in the process, if your a developer maybee a good chunk.
