In the cryptocurrency world, investors often struggle between spot trading and contract trading. In fact, both methods can be profitable, and the major earners fall into two categories: one is the skilled traders with exceptional techniques, and the other is the seemingly simple yet deeply knowledgeable 'fool' type of investors.

Cryptocurrency investors are primarily retail investors. Most retail investors start with capital below 100,000 USDT, while those with around 1,000,000 USDT are rare, and those above 5,000,000 USDT are even fewer. The way to make money varies greatly depending on the amount of capital.

Investors with over 1,000,000 USDT pursue stability, do not prioritize short-term gains, and prefer spot trading. They adopt a conservative strategy akin to 'fools,' investing based on bull and bear cycles, with durations ranging from one year to three years or even longer, and they are satisfied with returns of 5-10 times.

On the other hand, the vast majority of retail investors, due to limited funds, hope to profit quickly in the short term, thus leaning towards contract trading. Contract trading inherently carries high leverage, allowing for small investments to yield large returns, but the risks are extremely high. This requires retail investors to have a comprehensive trading strategy, precise market judgment, excellent operational skills, and a strong awareness of risk control, further testing whether they possess the qualities of a skilled trader.

In simple terms, the key to spot trading lies in grasping the timing of entry, while contract trading focuses on operational skill. I sincerely hope that every investor can continuously accumulate experience and wealth, and one day, engage in stable investments like the 'fool' type investors. But always remember, the risks in the cryptocurrency world are enormous, and regardless of the trading method chosen, risk control must always be the top priority.
