The #SpotVSFuturesStrategy
debate centers on choosing between immediate asset ownership (spot) or leveraged contracts (futures). Spot trading, like buying Bitcoin outright, suits long-term holders avoiding leverage risks. Futures, however, allow speculation on price movements with borrowed funds, amplifying gains (or losses). For example, a 10x long BTC futures position can 10x profits but also trigger liquidations during dips. Traders use futures for hedging- e.g., shorting ETH futures to offset spot holdings during downturns. Meanwhile, spot is simpler: buy low, sell high, no expiry dates. My strategy? Combine both: HODL spot assets for stability and use futures sparingly for short-term plays.
