That's how it is. At first, I could only trade spot, losing money when the price fell. Later, I learned about contracts and lost money when the price rose. After that, I learned about options, and now it's great—I'm losing money whether the price goes up or down.

At first, I only knew how to trade cryptocurrencies. I only lost money when the price dropped. Later, I learned how to short sell. I also lost money when the price rose. Later, I learned about contracts. I would lose money regardless of whether the price of the cryptocurrencies went up or down. I really fucked up.
