Real money plays in spot, not leveraged bets. The ones holding actual bags know perpetual futures can evaporate your stack just as quick as it pumps. Wise traders are rotating back into blue chips and solid altcoins—where you actually own what you buy. Perpetual contracts? That's the casino floor. Spot trading is where wealth actually gets built.

Perpetual contracts are indeed a trap, but the problem is that most people can't control themselves and insist on playing with leverage. Spot trading is the real deal; hold on and it's all good.

Perpetual contracts are indeed the worst choice for risk management. Over the years of operating nodes, I've seen too many liquidation data chains—essentially a game against the consensus mechanism without true asset rights. Spot trading is the only thing that can be verified.

Spot trading is the real deal, perpetual contracts are just a place to harvest the leeks... That's true, but I still can't help but play around in it, kidney pain.

Perpetual contracts are really a tool for cutting leeks. Several of my friends around me have been liquidated in them, it's heartbreaking.

Perpetual contracts are just a money-grabbing machine; I've long avoided the trap. Spot trading is better, holding real assets in hand makes me sleep peacefully.
