 BTC futures trading or spot trading, which one do you prefer and why? What about LTC futures and spot trading?

i've never been into the borrowing funds to short. but i do love to day trade on the spread

my version of future trading is, if you think its going to rise. hold your funds in cold storage and wait. if you think its going to fall.. sell it and wait to rebuy after the drop.

as for ltc, i onlt using alts as an arbitrage route to make profit on the spreads as i go around the triangle of btc fiat ltc btc, as its much more entertaining than ust staying on one orderbook

For me I would just prefer to wait in the future if the price goes up than I will try to trade otherwise I will just convert in to fiat.
I am not good with trading so there is no point to me to do that. I am just here to hold my bitcoins so my children can use and make profit with it.

I suppose I would be future trading but then even in the future I have no intentions to sell,  just use it to buy what I need.

I also don't see myself selling my bitcoins anyone soon. I am just going to hodl until $1000 and then by a gaming PC.

To be honest, I am not sure if I want either at the moment. I am still kind of learning about BTC.

Hmmm ... this might be useful.  I could see miners selling futures contracts to lock in on unexpected BTC price spikes for coins that they have yet to mine.

I prefer trading futures.  When trading futures, I can ride the wave up and down or one or the other with out the need to wait for the increase in order to make a profit.  This just opens up my options more.  Why not take more options.

I prefer to trade at spot price. because the current news will affect the spot price more quickly than the futures prices. So, I guess spot trading is easy and secured.

Sorry, but what exactly is sport trading?

i guess something like jetwin and betwin website, i never trade futures

but with sport betting you can usually bet on the favorite and win almost for sure, yes the odd will make you win peanuts, but on multiple bets this will be a great reward
