There are various types of investors and different ways to invest. When investing, we must keep in mind a clear objective and the timeline in which we expect to achieve that objective.
It is at this moment that the comparison of the two strategies (Spot and Future) should be discussed: based on what and when you wish to reap your rewards.
Spot brings immediacy. Short term, forecasts, the right timing, and the "bet" on the correct currency, both when buying and at the moment of redemption. It requires research, knowledge about graphic trends, external influences, especially in the political sphere, and, of course, a touch of luck.
The Future strategy deserves as much study as the Spot, but it requires almost structural knowledge of what you are investing in: elements like consistency over time, trends over the years, reliability of the project, and most importantly: the exercise of patience regarding gains and the composure to go through positive and negative fluctuations over the investment period. It requires maturity, calmness, and a lot of knowledge.
What is the best strategy? It depends. What is your objective?
