Both spot buying and selling and futures trading have their personal benefits and downsides, and it ultimately depends at the individual trader's desires, threat tolerance, and trading style.
I think you asked because that's obvious from the title, but the contents of the thread only explain what traders will face in trading these two different types of trades.
Beginners are usually people who also lack knowledge so spot trading is the best choice and of course that is also what many other members have suggested, because in basic spot trading the knowledge you have is enough to start, buying cheap and selling expensive, and this type of trading will be calmer, while futures trading is only suitable for experts and those who already have sufficient experience.
