Here I am reading your questions like:
> "#Green_lamp Can I enter alt with 3x leverage and sit until the bull run?"
And immediately, you want to ask: "Do you really hate your deposit that much?"

Why spot is your best friend.
Let's be honest: spot is safety.
Yes, in the moment, you can catch a drawdown – you really can!
But do you know what will happen when the market turns?
> Charts will start to crawl up, and instead of losses, there will be profits.
Spot is like a slow but sure path to the top.
And futures without stops? That's a one-way ticket.

Futures: why it's a dead-end road.
With futures, you might get lucky once. Maybe even twice.
But over the long run, the result is always the same – losing money.
Want an example?
Did you see those liquidations when the market goes down?
Here they are – those who thought they could outsmart the market.
And what could be worse?
Losing money before the bull run starts. You waited three years for altseason to... zero out before it even started? Come on!

Personal experience: my struggle with leverage
I once thought too: "What if it works out?".
And do you know what happened? Minus the deposit.
But now I know:
1. Futures are not for beginners.
2. If you want to play with leverage, do it with 10% of your capital.

Look at the millionaires in crypto.
Do you know how they made their money?
They bought in a bear market and sold in a bull market. It's that simple.
So why complicate things?
Let you earn a little less, but with greater likelihood.

Moral of the story.
Spot is your best friend.
Futures are for those who are ready for risks.
Bet long-term.

A finale with a twist.
Don't complicate, friend. And remember: better slow and steady than fast and painful.
And if you liked it, throw a like or share your failures – it will be interesting to read. 😉
