$BTC During my crypto investment journey, I realized a clear difference between Spot trading and Futures. With Spot, I feel safer because I only buy when I have actual capital, without leverage, so the risk is lower. Meanwhile, Futures allows me to amplify profits quickly but can also easily wipe out my account if not managed well. In the beginning, I lost quite a bit in Futures due to lack of discipline and not setting stop-losses. Later on, I chose a capital allocation strategy: 70% in Spot for long-term accumulation, 30% in Futures for short-term trading, along with strict stop-losses.
