💸📉 Hey everyone. I used to think futures was just "spot with leverage." That $5,400 loss taught me otherwise. With spot, you *own* the crypto. If BTC dips, you still have your BTC, just worth less. You only lose money if you sell.
Futures? It's a contract, a bet on price direction, not ownership. The biggest misunderstanding: you're not "buying" crypto. You're opening a position with collateral. If the market moves too far against your bet, your entire collateral—like my $5,400—can be liquidated. Gone. You hold nothing. It's not about selling at a loss; it's about being forced out. Understand that difference. If you put $100 into a futures trade, and the price goes the wrong way, how much of that $100 are you guaranteed to get back?
