Having been a spot trader in Ethereum for 4 years, I recently had an idea—why not try contracts? Playing with contracts at the same pace as spot trading surprisingly feels quite comfortable. No need to stare at the screen all the time; all decisions are based on Ethereum's trend over the years. Looking back at historical candlestick charts, from inception to now, the price has repeatedly touched over 4800 times. Based on this logic, Ethereum around 3000 is actually a position worth considering. If the next bull market doesn't surpass 5000, how disappointing would that be?

Haha, going straight from spot trading to contracts in 4 years—no one else has that kind of courage. But I have to say—what can historical candlesticks really tell us? The crypto world is no longer the same as it was last year.

Is it comfortable to switch from spot to futures in 4 years? Haha, this is about to start a new chapter, and the more I think about it, the more terrifying it gets.

actually, 4 years spot hodling then suddenly pivoting to futures with that exact same "patient whale" mentality... that's either gonna print or become a cautionary tale, no in-between. the 4800 touches thing is empirically speaking just survivorship bias dressed up as technical analysis, but hey, if it works it works. risky move betting everything on historical patterns not breaking tho

Can spot traders switch to contracts and still do it so comfortably after 4 years? It's truly impressive, but I'm still hesitant, afraid that a slippage might just get me wiped out.

Oops, spot trading veterans find futures contracts more comfortable? This rhythm is a bit extreme!

A spot trader for 4 years and you're only now thinking about trading contracts? Bro, your realization is a bit late.
