Could you elaborate on the concept of staking and specifically, whether it's possible to stake Bitcoin? I've heard about staking in the context of other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and I'm curious to know if this functionality is also available for Bitcoin. My understanding is that staking involves locking up coins in a network to earn rewards, but is this applicable to Bitcoin's consensus mechanism, Proof of Work? If not, what are the alternatives for Bitcoin holders to earn returns on their holdings? I'd appreciate a concise yet thorough explanation of the current landscape with regard to staking Bitcoin.
