I mean sure you could wait with futures as well if you want to but it would be very risky and you will not be profiting with it if the price suddenly goes down, whereas in spot trading it could go down a lot but you will at least have time to wait for it to go back up and that waiting period makes it longer time then futures.
Choose on what you do like because some do love Futures and majority is been sticking with Spot because it is somewhat less risky basing on experience.
As long you do make profits then that what matter most and its a personal choice because not all would really be that risk takers.
