when btc gets to 100k ~ 1M then ask this question.

you seriously believe bitcoin could go upto 1 million per coin
That's always been the endgame.

I had high hopes of quitting my job to just mine for a living, but I missed the boat somewhat!

The bad news is just that you can't easily shift back to being "normal" if you want...
When "normal" in our society = "wage slave with white collar", I'll take abnormal any day of the week...

Happily abnormal

I stopped doing "day jobs" pretty quick in my life, only going back to repay some BDK.BND debt. Corporate and government regulations are just unbearable. You get a cut on your finger, and if you didn't pack your own bandaid, you have to go the the first aid kiosk, talk with the nurse, fill out an OSHA report, get grilled by some higher-up you've never seen before, then apologize and feel like a bag of dirt because you let your finger hit a sharp stair railing. Corporations just act completely inhuman once there's an SOP on everything and government regulators breathing down their necks.

I've kind of committed myself toward side jobs (especially remote work), and there's kind of a point in time where you do all these odd jobs, gigs, and seasonal work where you can't really produce a good resume for FT work - unless maybe you do side jobs where you end up picking up a lot of certifications. I can't fit it in one page or even make myself seem stable. The good news is that I know and have earned a liveable/"thriveable" amount with BTC side-jobs and they totally kick ass because I choose who I work for and with, usually when I work, and often even how much I want to work - and there's a lot of diversity, way more than shift work at a corporation could ever match. The bad news is just that you can't easily shift back to being "normal" if you want and work's never guaranteed, and it's really kind of taxing to explain 8 mostly crypto-niche and seasonal or intermittent side-jobs than just saying "oh, I'm a salesman at SuchandSuch."

Not me, unfortunately. I didn't buy my first fraction of a bitcoin until earlier this year.

For sure there will be people like that. Sad it wasn't me, though.

I know that feeling. However, a little diligence investing and smart choices will pay dividends later in life in my humble opinion. Smiley Cheers

The phrase don't quit your dayjob comes to mind  Cheesy. I'm sure there are lot of people here who are in bitcoin full time in various different ways.

I have finished university in this year and want to go to bitcoins world=) However, for good trading or mining i have no initial capital. So, i should go on a staff-job to get it. To my mind, it's too high risk to take out a loan in bank for btc-trading. Or somebody have done this high-risk step? If yes - what was a result?=)
Moreover, i dont know now what is better: invest in mining of trading? Mining is too slow, trading is too risky.

I am not so experienced on BTC trading. So i think it is not the prefect time for me to take is as a profession. In my opinion only expert persons can take it as a full time profession.
