In the cryptocurrency world of 2026, is it better to trade contracts or spot?
In 2026, the most important thing is to learn how to swing trade.
Have you all noticed that many past experiences no longer work, especially the idea that "spot trading is not scary"?
Many people held onto spot trading and lost 80%-90%.
In the past, many suggested playing with spot trading and not contracts, believing that time would lead to profits; however, the market has matured, and it is no longer an era where simply holding can yield profits.
Regardless of whether you are trading spot or contracts, the most important thing now is to learn how to swing trade; you can no longer be obsessed with holding onto a coin hoping to make dozens of times in profit.
Currently, such coins are becoming fewer; exchanges have hundreds of coins, and at most only one or two can rise by 1-3 times.
The probability of catching one is too low.
Now, whether trading contracts or spot, it's truly about taking a bite and running; being able to make 10%-30% is already quite good.
Some friends I know in the circle are still holding onto spot trading, and now they have basically lost 90%. It would take a tenfold increase to break even, and I can clearly say that such opportunities have almost no chance of breaking even.
In the future, the cryptocurrency world will also move closer to traditional financial markets, with smaller fluctuations; as Tony said, there will be no dividends left.
Making money relies on just two things: large capital and large volatility.
In previous bull markets, there were one or two coins that could multiply by a thousand, and many that multiplied by a hundred; now, such occurrences are basically impossible in the secondary market.
In the cryptocurrency world of 2025, it will neither be contracts nor spot trading; you need to engage in swing trading and stop fantasizing about making dozens of times profit from a single coin.
You need to accumulate small victories for larger successes.
