The question currently in front of us is actually very simple—should these types of coins be used for flexible contracts or for holding spot assets steadily?

But the question itself is asking the wrong thing. The key isn’t about which tool you choose, but how you play the game.

I’ve noticed that many people still think in old ways—spot is safe, just hold and don’t move. But what’s the result? A bunch of coins are forcibly wiped out, accounts are directly cut by 80%, 90%, and some even worse.

The market has long changed. That era is gone—the days when buying a coin and waiting for a big cycle to double your money are truly over.

Looking at the current market: among hundreds of coins, only a few can achieve 1 to 3 times gains. Relying on a coin to increase by dozens of times? The probability is so low it’s not worth betting on.

The reality is, being able to steadily earn 10% to 30% returns is already considered quite good. I know several people who stubbornly hold onto spot assets and end up losing only one-tenth of their principal. To break even? It would take a 10-fold increase. Honestly, that’s basically a pipe dream.

The future of the crypto world will only become more like traditional financial markets—less volatility, thinner margins. The only ways to really make money are: either have substantial capital or catch enough large swings.

That story of hundreds or thousands of times returns? It might have been possible in the primary market before, but now in the secondary market, it’s basically forgettable.

So my advice is straightforward: stop obsessing over whether to choose spot or contracts. There’s only one correct approach—learn to do swing trading. Exit decisively after riding a trend, and accumulate small wins one after another to truly go far.

Instead of blindly crashing in the dark, it’s better to hold the light in your own hands. When the light is on, will you follow or not?
