#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Many newcomers in cryptocurrency often confuse spot trading with futures trading. Spot is when you buy a coin and become its owner. For example, by buying BTC or ETH on the spot, you can hold them for as long as you want. On the other hand, futures are leveraged trading, where you do not own the asset directly, but speculate on its price. This allows you to profit from both rising and falling prices, but the risks are significantly higher. Personally, I prefer spot for long-term investments and futures for short-term trading.
