⚡ Futures vs. Spot: The Concept You Must Master Before Trading
One of the most common mistakes when starting in crypto is entering futures without understanding the difference with spot.
And believe me: that confusion can be costly. 💸
🔹 Trading in Spot
👉 You buy the cryptocurrency directly.
Example: You buy 1 SOL and it stays in your wallet.
✅ No expiration or liquidation.
✅ You can hold for as long as you want.
✅ Lower risk.
🔹 Trading in Futures
👉 You don’t buy the crypto itself, but a contract that bets on the price movement.
Example: You bet that BTC will go up or down with leverage.
✅ You can profit even in bear markets.
⚠ Much higher risk: if the market goes against you, you can lose everything quickly.
🔹 What should you understand before trading?
1️⃣ Spot = long-term investment.
2️⃣ Futures = advanced tool, designed for experienced traders.
3️⃣ Without risk management, futures are the fastest way to lose money.
✨ The key: Before touching futures, master spot first. Build a solid portfolio and understand the market.
Leveraged trading is not a game: it's for when you already know how to handle volatility.
💬 Question for you:
👉 Do you trade only in spot or have you already tried futures?
