Spot Trading – “You own it.”

What it is: Buying crypto at the current market price and holding it in your wallet.

Example: Buying 1 BTC at $110K means you actually own 1 BTC.

Best for: Long-term holders, beginners, and portfolio builders.

✅ Simple, no expiry

✅ No risk of liquidation

⚠️ Slower profit potential in sideways markets

🔴 Futures Trading – “You bet on price.”

What it is: Contracts to buy/sell crypto at a future date or price, often using leverage.

Example: Going long on BTC with 10× leverage means small price moves = big profits (or losses).

Best for: Short-term traders, hedgers, and risk-tolerant pros.

✅ High profit potential

✅ Can trade both up & down

⚠️ Liquidation risk

⚠️ Requires strong risk management

💡 Final Word

Spot is about ownership. Futures is about speculation.

If you’re new, start with spot.

If you’re experienced and disciplined, futures can amplify both reward—and risk.
