I know a lot of people who quitted their day job to trade in the cryptocurrency market.
But it was when the market was good.
In this bear market, they're struggling very hard to survive.
So I think the best way to invest is this :
Have a side job, cut down your expenses, then invest 10-20% of your monthly income in the market.This way you never have to worry about gain and loss and surely you have higher chance of getting rich because the market will recover in the long run!
That is what I have been doing all this while. We have to be smart and not greedy in order to earn money. This bear market has taken down many people's investments.
I can't believe what the people who left their day job for crypto must be going through in this bear market. Crypto is such a volatile market. If there are chances of getting rich overnight then there are equal chances of going the opposite way and I guess this is what has happened here. Playing safe while taking minor profits is the best thing to do when it comes to crypto
Its not taken down investments made before 2017! There is a saying "don`t keep all of your eggs in one basket!" and this is what op is trying to say here with his example, with other words. In more different investments you take a part, more safe you are. Have something in gold, have something in crypto, have something in real estates, if one market goes down or suffer from any downtrend you have other investments and you don`t worry too much. Where the money comes from, job, investments, freelancing, or anything else that`s better, if one stuck you have other possibilities.
