Been holding ADA for a while and finally want to set up staking properly instead of just letting it sit.
Main thing I’m trying to figure out is the best setup where you can stake but still keep full control of your keys and not rely on an exchange. Ideally something simple enough that you’re not constantly worrying about messing up the setup or security.
What’s your setup?
When I first started, everything felt pretty straightforward. Open an account, buy a couple of things, hold. But after a while, it started getting messy without me really noticing. Now I’ve got investments spread across different places like ISAs and SIPP), I’m trying to keep track of performance separately, and even something simple like understanding my full portfolio takes more effort than it should.
I also realised that the more tools I add, the less clear things feel overall. Like I have more features but less clarity. Even with relatively simple assets like index funds, it somehow still ends up feeling more complicated than it should.
Not sure if this is just part of progressing or if I’ve made things more complicated than they need to be. Do people eventually simplify their setup again, or is this just how it is once you go deeper into investing?
