I advise you to begin with spot trading if you are new to trading cryptocurrencies. Most newbies I believe started from spot trading, just like me, a few years ago.
Even Op themselve mentioned it in the article that spot trading is preferable for newcomers, I do not even understand anymore the reason for the question.
Spot trading entails buying and promoting assets at the cutting-edge marketplace rate, and it's miles generally considered less unstable than futures buying and selling. It is a great alternative for novices who are simply starting out in trading and want to get a feel for the marketplace. However, spot trading can also be volatile, and fees can differ swiftly, so traders want a good way to manipulate their threat correctly.
Even myself as an old hand, I have never tried future trading. It is not because I cannot, but it is because I see it as a gambling and that is why I haven't tried it out. I do not know whether there are more explanations to it. If there is I'll be willing to learn.
