📉💸 Futures isn't just buying coins like spot. With spot, you buy 1 BTC at $70k, you *own* 1 BTC. If it drops to $60k, you're down $10k, but you still have your 1 BTC. Futures? You're trading a *contract* betting on future price. You don't own the BTC. Let's say you open a 1 BTC long at $70k with 20x leverage. You're only putting up $3,500 of your own money as initial margin. The biggest trap beginners miss: if BTC dips even 2-3% against you, say to $69,000, your entire $3,500 is gone, liquidated. Poof. Your spot BTC would still be there, just down. Futures can wipe you out fast if you don't manage your margin. Do you truly understand that futures losses can be *total* and *sudden*, not just unrealized paper losses like spot?
