Spot vs Futures Trading – Which One Should You Use?

🪙 Two ways to trade crypto, two different risk levels. Know the difference before you jump in.

🟢 What is Spot Trading?

🧾 You buy the actual asset (e.g., BTC, ETH) and own it.

✅ You keep the coins in your wallet

✅ No leverage = Lower risk

✅ Simple and beginner-friendly

✅ Good for holding (HODL) or long-term investing

> Example: Buy 0.01 BTC at $110,000 → Sell at $120,000 → Profit = $10,000

🔴 What is Futures Trading?

📉 You don’t own the coin — you trade based on price movement.

✅ Can profit from both rising and falling markets

✅ Use leverage (e.g., 10x, 20x)

✅ Short-term trading

⚠️ High risk = Quick profits or quick losses

> Example: Use $100 with 10x leverage = $1,000 position

But a 10% wrong move = Liquidation (you lose your $100)
