#密码资产动态追踪 $RIVER How should you really play? Spot trading or futures? Actually, that's the wrong question.



I've seen too many traders struggling between spot and futures. To be honest, choosing the tool itself doesn't matter. The real bottleneck is whether you have a reliable trading strategy.

Some people still cling to the old spot mindset—buy and then just wait. But what happens? A bunch of coins drag down the entire account, with drawdowns of 80%, 90% happening at any time. The market has already changed. The era of buying coins blindly and doubling your money is over.

The current situation is: whether in spot or futures, you need to learn how to ride waves. That’s the core competitive edge.

Looking at hundreds of coins in your portfolio—those that can yield 1x to 3x gains are already rare. Hoping that a certain coin will multiply tenfold or more? You can forget about it.

Consistently making 10% to 30% profit already surpasses most people. Yet some would rather stubbornly hold on, watching their account shrink to only 10%, still dreaming of a 10x comeback. That logic itself is flawed.

The future trend is clear—cryptocurrency markets will increasingly resemble traditional finance, with volatility gradually converging, and the window for early explosive profits shrinking.

The only ways to profit steadily in this market are: one, having a large capital base; two, having precise control over volatility.

Stop obsessing over the choice between spot and futures. What truly matters is the wave trading logic. Take profits during a trend, and rely on compound growth to sustain long-term success. If you're feeling lost, reflect on your trading rhythm—are you always chasing after moves, or are you waiting?

There's nothing wrong with that; the key is whether there is discipline. My biggest lesson is greed—getting 10% profit and insisting on waiting for 30%, only to end up losing it all. Take profits when the wave is ripe and run; it sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult.

I've heard this band logic so many times, but it's still about luck... The key is to choose the right coin.

That's right, swing trading is the way to go. I used to stick strictly to spot trading, and a 80% drawdown completely overwhelmed me. Now I've switched to swing trading, and although the profits aren't explosive, it's much more stable.

That's right. Currently, obsessing over spot contracts is a false proposition. The real way to succeed is through swing trading—steadily capturing 10-30% gains is the true path.

nah this is just security theater dressed up as strategy. watched this exact narrative play out before the last three collapses. "swing the waves bro" is what people say right before they get liquidated at 4am. the predictable vulnerability here? everyone thinks they're the one who'll time it right. spoiler: they won't.

Exactly right, but most people just can't do it. They keep shouting about swing trading every day, then turn around and go all in on some coin.

You're so right. I've seen many spot traders just lying around, getting scared out of their wits during a pullback, and still want to multiply tenfold? Wake up.
