We've talked a lot about contract issues earlier, today let's discuss how to make money with Spot.

1. Spot = Buy low and sell high, earning the "spread" from the increase in coin price.
For the simplest example:
You bought 1 Dogecoin at 1U, and later it rose to 1.5U. When you sold it, you made a profit of 0.5U, a 50% increase.
This process involves no leverage and no liquidation risk. If the coin rises, you profit; if the coin falls, you lose, but you will never "go to zero" or "be liquidated".
This is the most basic way to profit, and it is also the most stable method in the crypto space.
2. How to choose the timing? The real key to making money in Spot trading lies in the "rhythm". Many people lose money in Spot trading not because they are wrong about the direction, but because their rhythm is off: when others shout "the bull market is here," you rush in to buy at a high point, and when it drops, you panic and sell. As a result, just after you sell, it rebounds, and you end up always buying at the top and selling at the bottom. This is not a problem with Spot trading; it's an emotional issue. The core of making money is not which coin you bought, but whether you have patience, strategy, and have laid out your plans in advance.
3. Real money-making spot players engage in "cycle arbitrage". Most people profit from small fluctuations, while experts earn from the major trends of a cycle.
For example: In the early stages of a bull market, buy altcoins and sell them in batches after they rise 5 to 10 times; in the middle of a bear market, invest steadily in mainstream coins and patiently hold them for a year to see several times the return.
4. How can beginners play Spot more steadily?
Here are a few suggestions:
(1) Start with mainstream cryptocurrencies: BTC and ETH are good choices for beginners, they are resistant to downturns, have good liquidity, and are not easily manipulated by whales. $ETH control your positions, don't exhaust your funds in one go, buy and sell in batches, leave yourself some room to maneuver, and be able to adjust your strategy when the market reverses.
(2) Hold steady and secure: Spot trading is not for you to watch the market every day; it is for laying out a big trend. The more frequently you trade, the more easily you are swayed by emotions.

In summary:
The essence of Spot is to buy low and sell high, but real profit comes from early planning, patient holding, and understanding the cycles.
Don't think that Spot is "slow"; being slow is the way to survive the longest and earn the most steadily in the crypto world.
