One question I see almost every day is: Should I start with Spot or Futures?

The truth is, there isn't a one size fits all answer. It depends on your goals and, more importantly, how well you understand the risks.
Spot is the easier place to begin. When you buy Bitcoin or any other crypto on the spot market, you actually own it. If the price goes up, great. If it drops, your investment loses value, but your coins are still yours unless you decide to sell.
Futures works very differently. You're not buying the asset itself, you're trading its price through a contract. That's where leverage comes in. It can boost returns when the market moves your way but it can also wipe out your position much faster if it doesn't.
I've seen plenty of traders celebrate huge leveraged wins one day and disappear after a single bad trade the next. That's usually not bad luck, it's poor risk management.
Neither Spot nor Futures is better. They're simply built for different types of traders and different strategies.
If you're just getting started, don't feel pressured to jump into leverage because everyone else seems to be doing it. Learning how the market moves, managing risk and building good habits will take you much further than chasing quick profits.
The market isn't going anywhere. There will always be another opportunity. Take time to learn first, trade with a plan and protect your capital.
Did you begin with Spot or Futures? I'm curious to hear your experience.
