📌 Simplified definition:
1. Spot (Instant trading)
You buy the currency and actually own it, and you can withdraw it to your wallet or keep it as an investment.
2. Futures (futures contracts)
You open a position expecting the currency to rise or fall without actually owning it, using leverage.

🧪 Real example:
Spot: You bought $100 of BTC, now you own the currency and control it.
Futures:
I bet $100 that BTC will rise, and if the opposite happens, you lose all the money (without actually owning BTC).
