**Spot vs. Futures: Picking the Right Strategy**
Crypto trading offers two main approaches: **spot** (buying/selling actual assets) and **futures** (betting on price movements with leverage).
**Spot Trading**
✔️ Own the asset
✔️ Lower risk
✔️ Best for long-term holds
**Futures Trading**
✔️ Trade with leverage (higher risk/reward)
✔️ Profit in any market (long/short)
✔️ Requires active management
**Key Differences**
- Spot is simpler; futures need skill
- Futures amplify gains/losses
- Spot suits investors; futures fit traders
**Choose wisely:** Newbies should start with spot. Experienced traders can use futures cautiously
