💥💸 Futures isn't buying crypto; it's signing a contract to bet on its future price. On spot, you own the asset – buy 1 BTC at $30k, you *have* 1 BTC. If it drops to $15k, you still own 1 BTC, just less value. I learned this the hard way: with futures, you're only putting up a small margin to control a much larger position (leverage!). That $100 you put down for a $10k BTC position means a tiny move against you, say 1%, wipes out your $100. Beginners misunderstand that *not owning the asset* combined with leverage means you can lose *everything* in minutes, unlike holding spot.

Now for the risk test: If you use 10x leverage on $1000 and the price moves 1% against your position, how much of your $1000 have you lost?
