#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Spot Trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies at their current market price for immediate delivery. You own the actual asset.

* Pros: Simpler, lower risk (no leverage), direct ownership, ideal for long-term holding (HODLing) and beginners.

* Cons: Capital-intensive (must pay full amount), profits limited to price appreciation, cannot profit from downtrends unless short-selling through specific platforms.

Futures Trading involves contracts to buy or sell a cryptocurrency at a predetermined price on a future date. You don't own the underlying asset directly; you're speculating on its future price.

* Pros: Allows leverage (magnified gains, but also losses), can profit from both rising (long) and falling (short) markets, useful for hedging existing crypto holdings.
