Crypto world Newbie Learning Guide: Starting with Spot is the Survival Rule

For friends who are new to the crypto world, it is strongly recommended to start with Spot trading and consider contracts only after fully mastering it. The reasons are as follows:

The essence of risk is fundamentally different.
Spot loss limit = principal zero (invest 1000 can lose a maximum of 1000)
A contract may be liquidated and result in a deficit (10x leverage losing 10% means losing all principal).

Differences in learning curves
Spot only requires mastering: buying and selling operations / basic market analysis / wallet transfers
Contracts require additional breakthroughs: leverage selection / liquidation warning / funding rate / margin calculation

Hidden Threshold Warning
• Exchange mechanism (Cross margin vs Isolated margin / U-based vs Coin-based)
• Hidden costs (funding rate accumulates every 8 hours/high leverage slippage)
• Strategy Complexity (requires hedging/grid and other advanced operations)

▶️ Phased Learning Path
Phase 1 (1-3 months):
Practice BTC/ETH Spot on Binance/OKX
Research the basic indicators of the top 50 tokens on CoinMarketCap
Complete 10+ transactions + withdraw coins to wallet

Stage 2 (after 6 months and meeting the conditions):
Spot has been continuously profitable for more than 3 months
Understanding Funding Rate / Liquidation Mechanism
First trial ≤5x leverage, single transaction ≤ 2% of principal + forced stop loss

⚠️ Key Survival Rules
All contract operations should be tested on the exchange's demo account for 1 month.
Beware of the "Get Rich Quick Trap": 98% of contract newcomers lose money within six months.
Remember the formula:
Spot loss = Principal × Coin price drop
Contract loss = Principal × Leverage × Coin price drop

The primary goal of the crypto world is to survive, and Spot is a required course for understanding the market. When the rules are sufficiently understood, contracts will become a tool rather than a gambling device.
