Many people have just stepped into the cryptocurrency world, holding their first capital, but their hearts feel like they are on a roller coaster—afraid of missing out when prices rise, and panicking when they fall. The first step is difficult: should they trade spot or play contracts?
I remember three years ago, I felt the same way. I only had 30,000 USDT, and various experts on forums boasted about 'earning tens of thousands from contracts monthly', while new users in groups shivered with stories of 'liquidation happening in an instant'. I foolishly watched the prices soar and plummet, thinking to myself: 'Should I go all in on contracts? No, I'm afraid of liquidation. Just buying spot? But I'm afraid of missing the bull market.'
During that time, I spent almost every day in confusion. Watching others easily double their investments while I dared not take action made me feel both envious and anxious. Until one day, I decided to let go of my anxiety and set rules for myself: start with spot trading, stabilize my capital, then gradually learn contract skills, and only attempt leveraged trading when I felt capable of managing risks.
The cryptocurrency world is not a playground for getting rich overnight; it is a battlefield that tests one's mindset and strategies. The first step for beginners is not about choosing between spot or contracts, but learning to control their own rhythm and not being swayed by market emotions. Spot trading is steady and allows you to solidify during volatility; contracts can offer opportunities if you are prepared for high leverage.
Many people are scared off by liquidation, but it's just that they didn’t recognize the risks in advance; many miss out on bull markets simply because they didn't dare to take the first step. The cryptocurrency world is impartial; it only rewards those who are prepared.
So, it's okay to feel stuck on the first step; the key is to take it. Whether to choose spot or contracts, the answer will slowly emerge through your learning and practice. Just like me, through three years of accumulation, from cautiously testing the waters with 30,000 USDT to gradually building my own trading system, every choice has taught me: understanding the rules is more important than immediate profits.
Newcomers to the cryptocurrency world, there's no need to be impatient; first, learn to stabilize yourself, and then chase the trends. Every rational choice will bring you closer to that moment of turning things around.
