With a principal of 100,000, some people earn millions with spot trading, while others lose everything overnight with contracts—what's the difference?
If you're still struggling with whether to trade spot or contracts in the crypto world, let me share two real stories:
Story 1: Old Zhang, the "Buddhist Warrior" of the crypto world, only trades spot, specifically choosing major currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. He buys when prices drop and sells when they rise.
In 3 years, he turned 50,000 into 2 million, and his secret is simple: "When prices drop, treat it like saving money; when they rise, treat it like cashing out, and never touch contracts!"
Story 2: Little Li, the "Short-term Genius" in contracts, started with 10x leverage, and has K-line charts etched in his mind. His highest record: turning 3,000 dollars into 200,000 in a week, but blowing up is as common as eating; his account went to zero in just 3 days. His conclusion: "Contracts are both a money printer and a money shredder; it all depends on your speed and mindset!"
Here’s the question: If you only have 10,000, which path will help you recover faster?
Spot vs Contracts, the harsh truth revealed
Spot traders: "Stable as an old dog, but becoming rich relies on luck."
Advantages: Low risk of going to zero (unless you buy meme coins), suitable for long-term investment.
Fatal flaw: Small principal means slow doubling; turning 10,000 into 20,000 requires waiting for a bull market.
Suitable for: Patient players who believe in "holding coins."
Contract traders: "One thought brings heaven, another brings hell."
Advantages: Small funds can leverage big returns; a 10% rise with 10x leverage equals doubling the principal.
Brutal reality: 90% of people don’t survive beyond 3 months; blowing up is the norm.
Suitable for: Highly disciplined individuals who can handle an account going to zero in an instant.
"Why are contract traders who can consistently profit scarier than spot traders?"
—Because contracts are precision scalpels under high pressure! In the same market conditions:
Spot traders might earn 10%, while contract experts could earn 100%.
"The most ruthless players often walk on two legs."
—How do true experts play? Spot trading for core holdings + contracts for swing trades!
Finally, let me pose a question:
If you currently have 100,000,
Choose spot: You might turn it into 500,000 in 3 years.
Choose contracts: You might turn it into 1,000,000 in 3 months… or lose everything.
What would you choose?
There are no saviors in the crypto world, only legends who survive.
