Without a doubt staking is the easiest way to get working on compounding. With HIVE, it pays a little over 3% and then one can start curating. This will begin to provide some returns coming in especially after the next HF.
As for the current system, I think DeFi is really going to put a dent in the lending market over time. It will take some time to mature but we can see how things can change. There is a lot of collateral being generated in crypto. That can be leveraged for loans and things of that nature.
