My ears have developed calluses from listening. The answer is never A or B, but rather 'Who are you?'.

Speaking of two living samples, they are all in my WeChat.

Old Zhang, 42 years old, former internet worker. In 2019, he took 50,000 in retirement funds, only bought BTC and ETH, added positions when it dropped by 30%, and only sold a little when it rose by 50%. After three years, the account grew from 5 to 200.

His catchphrase: "Slow is not scary, as long as I don't exit the market, I will always have chips."

I pulled him to open 20 times leverage, he responded with a meme saying "Elderly people, please do not throw objects from high places," and then continued to dollar-cost average.

Now he is semi-retired, relying on selling coins to pay for social security, and goes to bed every night at 10:30 PM.

Xiao Li, 25 years old, comes from a gaming coaching background. In 2021, he used 3000 U to enter contracts, rolling his position all the way to 200,000 in two weeks. That day he treated the whole group to Maotai and changed his profile picture to 'Crypto Circle Lambo.'

Two months later, the same group of people contributed 200U for his travel expenses—liquidated three times, credit card maxed out, rushing to Hangzhou overnight to find an outsourced customer service position.

Before he left, he dropped a line: 'Contracts are not double-edged; they are chainsaws. Both the fast and the slow hands will draw blood.'

You see, one looks like planting apple trees, and the other looks like parkour.

Spot trading is land, market trends are rain, time serves as fertilizer; contracts are bungee jumping, the wind is strong and you fly high, but if the rope breaks, the fall is hard.

So don't ask which is more profitable; first ask how much you can afford to lose.

I only give beginners one algorithm:

Think of 100,000 as 0. If you can sleep peacefully, you can allocate 20% to contracts; if just the thought makes your heart race, stick to dollar-cost averaging and tape the lever button on the exchange shut.

True experts only do one thing: let spot trading provide a bottom, and let contracts give wings to profits.

The base position remains unchanged, the swing is flexible. When the market comes, add a layer of low leverage; when the market leaves, immediately close the position and return the profits to spot trading.

Make three waves in a year, which is better than opening orders every day.

The last sentence is for you who are still struggling:

The crypto world is not a marathon, nor a 100-meter sprint; it's walking a tightrope at night.

Spot trading is a safety belt, contracts are balance bars.

First learn not to fall, then learn to fly.

Think it through before hitting the road; I am always here.
