#SpotVSFuturesStrategy My Experience (and why I almost had a heart attack with futures)

Honestly, when I started in trading, I only knew how to buy and sell in spot, like everyone else. "Buy low, sell high" 🤑, right? Well, yes, it works... but then I heard about futures and thought: "This sounds like easy money!". Mistake.

Spot: Calm and No Surprises

At first, I only used spot because:

- It's simple: You buy Bitcoin (or whatever) and that's it. There are no expiration dates or margin to watch.

- If the price drops, it’s fine: You won’t get liquidated, you just wait for it to rise again (or cry silently).

- For those who don't want stress: Ideal if you have a job and can't be looking at charts all day.

But of course, since I saw that some people in X were making "x100" with futures, I got curious...

Futures: The Roller Coaster (where sometimes you fall)

I tried futures with a little money "that I could afford to lose". And well, I learned the hard way:

- Leverage is a devil: You earn a lot... but you lose MUCH faster.

- Liquidations hurt: Once I set a x20 leverage (because I was eager) and in 5 minutes, they took my money. *Poof. 💸

- 24/7 Stress: I had to be on alert every hour, checking if the market was moving against me.

Moral: If you are normal like me, it's better to take it slow. Quick money almost never ends well.

And you? Have you tried futures or are you team spot? 👀 #SpotVSFuturesStrategy #OneBigBeautifulBill #BTCWhaleMovement #BitcoinReserveDeadline
