Is it better to trade contracts or spot in the current crypto market?

To put it simply, spot trading is better than contracts.

First, one must agree with a viewpoint: the formula for crossing classes in the crypto world = 0 risk selling information + holding mainstream cryptocurrencies in spot + holding for 10 years.

Only by first acknowledging this viewpoint in your mind can you avoid trying contracts.

Contracts carry the risk of liquidation, whereas with spot trading, as long as it’s a bull market, the probability of buying a coin that goes to zero is extremely low.

Moreover, in a bull market, the returns from spot trading are not worse than contracts; many coins multiplying several times or even ten times is quite common.

The reason you often hear about people losing money in trading is that most of them are playing with contracts. They can't outsmart human nature; once they win, they want to win more, becoming too greedy, and ultimately losing. After losing once, they want to gamble again, but the outcome is often disappointing.

This can easily affect one's mindset, leading to poor decision-making and subsequent losses.

Trading contracts is not much different from gambling; you are betting on price fluctuations. In contrast, spot trading has a slight distinction from gambling; it possesses certainty. You are buying quantity, and as long as it's confirmed to be a bull market, if the coin price drops, you don't panic or cut losses, just hold on and you won't lose.
