What's better: spot or futures?

Beginners often go straight into futures because there's "fast money" there. But along with potential profit, the risks are much higher.

🔎 Spot – this is a regular purchase of a coin. You actually own the asset and can hold it for as long as you want.

Pros: no liquidation, less stress, suitable for long-term investments, even if the coin drops in value, it stays with you.

Cons: profit only when the price rises and slower earnings.

📈 Futures – this is trading a price contract, often with the use of leverage.

Pros: you can make money on both rising and falling prices, higher potential profit due to the possibility of using leverage.

But there's a downside: high risk, the position can be liquidated, mistakes here cost much more.

Futures amplify not only profits, but also your mistakes.

📌 Therefore, a simple rule for beginners: first learn to work on spot, understand the market and risk management, and only then move on to futures.
