Spot vs Futures: Don’t Enter the Wrong Arena
Spot
• Buy the asset → you actually own it
• Profit from price increases
• More relaxed, ideal for holders & investors
• Lower risk, no liquidation
Futures
• Trade contracts, not the asset itself
• Can go long or short
• Uses leverage (both profits & losses are amplified)
• Risk of liquidation if the market moves against you
