If you’re new to crypto, you’ve probably seen “Futures” on Binance and thought:
“Wait… I can make 10x gains here?”
Yes, you can.
You can also lose everything — in seconds.
What Are Futures?
Futures let you bet on a token’s price going up or down, using leverage — basically trading with borrowed money.
With 10x leverage, a 1% move in the market means a 10% gain — or a 10% loss.
It’s fast, risky, and definitely not beginner-friendly.
Why I Stay Away (For Now)
It’s not investing — it’s trading. Fast-paced and stressful.
One bad trade can wipe you out. Liquidation is real.
It messes with your mindset. You stop learning and start gambling.
I’ve seen people win big and lose everything even faster. I’d rather build slowly than blow up early.
Learn First, Trade Later
There’s nothing wrong with Futures — but it’s like driving a sports car before you’ve learned to steer.
If you don’t fully understand it, skip it.
You’re not late. You’re just early and smart.
