#SpotVSFuturesStrategy
Trading crypto? Your strategy hinges on choosing **Spot** or **Futures**:
* **Spot Trading (Buy & Hold):**
You directly own the asset (e.g., BTC, ETH). Strategy is simple: **Buy low, sell high.** Ideal for long-term believers ("HODL"), dollar-cost averaging (DCA), and earning passive income (staking, airdrops). Profit only if the price rises.
* **Futures Trading (Leverage Plays):**
You trade contracts betting on *future* price direction, **without owning the asset.** Use leverage (e.g., 10x, 50x) to amplify gains (or losses!). Strategies include shorting (profiting if price falls), hedging spot positions, and complex scalping. **High risk of liquidation!**
