ELI5 should I stake my ETH through Coinbase?

So I’m sitting on only half an ether atm. In the past I actually used eth for online purchases rather frequently but I’m at the point where I probably won’t be selling, buying, or purchasing anything in the foreseeable future. What’s the smartest move?

Basically this is sortof just spare money at this point. I don’t mind taking a risk with it. If it goes down the drain it goes down the drain. Would it be beneficial for me to just stake it at such a small amount?

Also I apologize if this has been asked before. I tried to search but nothing recent came up, or I’m just an idiot idk.
