Crypto basics

Spot vs CFD, volatility regimes, wallets vs brokers, and common misconceptions.

Spot vs CFD

Spot ownership and CFD exposure are different. CFDs are contracts on price movement and typically involve leverage and financing.

Crypto can move several percent in minutes. Position size should reflect that reality.

Common myths

“CFDs remove exchange risk entirely” is false operationally. Counterparty, platform, and gap risk remain.

Educational content only — not personal investment advice. CFDs can lead to rapid losses.
