#SpotVSFuturesStrategy The Spot vs Futures strategy defines two key ways to operate in the crypto world. In the spot market, you buy and sell real assets instantly: you have the Bitcoin, you either hold it or sell it. In futures, you don't buy the asset, you bet on its price over time. It's like saying: 'I don't want it today, but I know where it will be tomorrow.' The spot strategy is safer; the futures strategy is riskier but with greater potential. A good trader knows when to own the asset and when to just ride the price wave. Time, here, is also a currency.
