#战略性加仓BTC 10,000 bucks entering the circle, should you play spot or futures? I’ve been asked this question many times. Honestly, there’s no standard answer, but after hearing the experiences of two people around me, you’ll understand.

Old Wei is a die-hard spot trader. He only focuses on Bitcoin and Ethereum, buying the dip when prices fall, slowly selling when prices rise, and never touches futures. Over three years, his 50,000 yuan principal grew to 2 million. What does he say? "Spot trading is indeed slow, but it never leaves me without capital."

Xiao Jun is from another camp. He’s a master at futures trading, using 10x leverage and more, making a year’s worth of gains in a single day when the market is good. I saw him turn $3,000 into $200,000 with my own eyes. And then? He got liquidated in three days, losing everything. His summary afterward: "Futures are a double-edged sword. If you want to play, you have to be prepared to bleed."

These two stories actually represent two worlds. Spot trading tests your mentality and patience—slow but sustainable; futures are like high-speed racing—exciting but full of risks. And those who truly survive? They’re never just one or the other. Some hold spot assets for stability, and when opportunities arise, they open some futures positions for swing trading—earning steadily and also making exciting gains.

How to choose? It all depends on one question: can you accept your account going to zero? If yes, futures can be played; if not, just stick to spot trading honestly. It’s too easy to get caught in pitfalls in the crypto world. If you really want to do well, first think carefully about your risk tolerance before taking action.
