#ETH走势分析 $ETH Lately, a lot of people have been DMing me: with 100,000 RMB in hand, should I go all in on spot trading or try my luck with futures?

$BTC There's actually no standard answer to this kind of question, because everyone’s risk tolerance and trading pace are different.

$ZEC I've observed two extreme approaches among people around me—

The first is Old Wang, a particularly interesting guy.
He only touches spot trading. When BTC and ETH drop, his eyes light up like there’s a massive sale at the market. When prices go up? He sells slowly, never greedy.
With this laid-back approach, he grew his 50,000 principal to 2,000,000 in three years.
He has a catchphrase that stuck with me: "Spot is slow, but at least I won’t lose everything."
People like him are as steady as a rock; no one can convince him to trade futures.

The other is Xiao Zhao.
A completely different style—he trades futures better than the pros, 10x leverage is just basic for him. When the market’s good, he makes more in a day than others make in a month.
I once saw him turn $3,000 into $200,000, and at the time I thought this guy was truly impressive.
But you know what happened after? He lost it all in three days.
When he reviewed what happened, he said: "Futures are a double-edged sword. If you want to play, don’t be afraid to bleed."

These two cases actually represent two completely different survival logics—

Spot trading suits those who are steady and can endure boredom. It's slow, but at least you won’t end up back at square one overnight.
Want to double your money? That depends on the market and having the patience to wait it out.

Futures? It’s like racing a car.
If you have solid skills, a strong mindset, and can time things right, it really feels amazing;
But if you mess around or chase trades blindly? The market will turn you into its ATM in no time.

But to be honest, real pros never stick to just one strategy.
They’ll hold spot for stability, and when the market moves, they’ll open some futures positions to catch the waves—
This way, they have a safety net and don’t miss out on breakout opportunities.

So how do you choose?

It really comes down to one core question: Can you accept your principal going to zero?

If you can, try futures. If not, stick to holding spot.

It’s really that simple and straightforward.

I’ve seen too many people rush in blindly, with no guidance or strategy, and end up losing everything.

In this market, going it alone is really hard to last long. Figuring out what you really want is more important than anything else.
