Topic: Be a programmer or gain bitcoin? - page 2. (Read 333 times)

Being a programmer basically has a more secure future to give you. Its a job that relies on your skill and most of the end results depend on you. Being a trader definitely can give you a lot of money but that depends on a lot of factor, some out of your control. So if there's a choice, i'd prefer the programmer though i probably will invest in bitcoin none the less

Well, Actually being a programmer is not easy. There are lot of codes that you will need to memorize and apply. And the good of being a programmer is having a good projects that you will gain a lot of money. I'm a programmer actually. I'm multitasking. I'm a programmer as the same time a bitcoin user or earner. In terms of money and business, each of us must prefer in getting a lot of money and do not stay in just 1 work. Try to use your time meaningfully and wonderfully.

Being a programmer is a way different to being a bitcoin user. Yes, both of these are available to be used with such technologies but they work with different functions. But, this could happen that you can acquire both of it by just being a programmer who chose to be a bitcoin user as well. Since programmers are into computers, then you could use those acquired skills to incorporate into bitcoin.

being a programmer means you have to marry your computer and spend 20 hours a day to find a bug. it's much better to trade bitcoin, unless you loves programmer's life XD

I as a programmer I choose to work real with stringing codes to get maximum results and bitcoin as a second job because every time I follow the project I always look for easy rules for me so do not waste my leisure and I recommend to be balanced to get the results the maximum

be a programmer as a main job and work in bitcoin as a side job.. if possible and you can manage your time, I think it's better if you can do of both. honestly no one know what will happen in bitcoin, but you have skill to be programmar, better you use your skill to get money..

Well for me i would say both programmer and gain bitcoin. Being a programmer we can consider it as a permanent job with a high salary and a stable income. While in bitcoin there is a good opportunity to earn big if we do have some better strategies on how to invest and trade. But in the end both brings better chances to the people to earn, they just need to manage their time well and exert extra effort because surely extra income awaits.

It is depend. It depend on salary you have on programming. It is also depends on what kind of thing that you get from using bitcoin or some campaign that you get paid. It is good to be a programmer if it is sure or fix because in bitcoin life such as trading or investing, it is too risky to do because the salary you has was not sure and it is depend on famous coin because it either dump or pump. then, in investing it is not sure that a project that you invest was not a trusted person, it is not good. you don't have a money then a money that you only have was a chance to gone.

Just go and be a programmer. Imagine that large opportunities are laying there. If you became a professional programmer, you can earn a lot not just as a full time programmer. Here in the forums, you can do sidelining by advertising yourself as a programmer with just showing your previous projects that either belongs to you or not.

You can both of them with big rush. But if you need full time job with btc seller-trader, I think thats a bad idea.
Learning programming language better than btc trader.

Depends on where you are good at. You can even possibly combine it all at the same time. I want to be a good programmer but currently I find it better to focus on trading and other land based business.

well I will be a programmer being a programmer is a great job and you can earn high salary, stable income than investing and trading in bitcoin or some cryptocurrencies its like gambling to me you can win and you can lose. But you can do both after job then you can start trading or investing.

cloning your bitcoins could be almost impossible, because now one company or organization is managing bitcoins, it would be a difficult job hacking it, when I say difficult I mean VERY DIFFICULT! that's why in the silk road it is the most preferable way of payment. you can't just hack in to a system just because you are a programmer, hacking takes SKILLS, I know about programming a little, and I still dont know how to hack.

Why don't do both?

Programer by day and trader by night.

Fun a side trading might be easier in a sense that you will just learn trading. With programing you have to try and stay on top by learning new things technologies and programming languages. Both require time to gain decant skill and both are worth it.

As some mentioned previously in this thread programming "stable" income, and trading is "risk" income although when note risk is involved you could earn more money. If money is what you are after I'd say trading, but listen to your gut rather than opinion of others.

I'm both actually   I study BS Computer Science I have a fair knowledge in VB.net, Java, HTML,CSS,Java Script and C++ and now I'm trying to learn things about bitcoins, because I though that, it would be an awesome par-time job, while I'm finishing my studies.

both, like for us grumpy old men with a stable job/income, nothing is blocking us to work and invest/buy/trade into crypto and i'm fairly sure, unless you hold tons of coins, none want to leave a stable income to jump into crypto both feets.
It's essential to have money to live and if you are asking yourself what to do, you definitely need to work to get money so my advice as old men is to do both.

You can still be a programmer while investing on bitcoin. Although its not a good idea to do both since you are referring to trading. I guess it still could work if the salary you will get as a programmer will be used on investing bitcoin.

Well lets's say you taught yourself calculus when your were 8 years of age, and wrote a compiler at 16, and then went to U, and studied advanced math for 4+ years, U may become a 'programmer'

Look at BUTERIN of Ethereum, wrote ETH at 19 years, of age, won programming game contests at 14 years of age,

If your not a child prodigy by the time you were 14 years old, and certainly not an expert at math, or you didn't try to learn calculus on your own at 12, you have a snow ball in hell's chance of ever become a 'programmer'

There is simply too much to learn, especially the block-chain biz here cryptography at master-level math, bitcoin written in C++, obscure at that all the most arcane data structures to be found, this is an old programmers game, or a genius like Buterin

IMHO the majority of so called 'programmers' here at best might be running miners, or compiling software downloaded on github, but they're not programmers.

BITCOIN is combo of TOR, and TORRENT, and Discrete-MATH, and ETHERNET, and WEB, and database,  it pretty much brings in all of computer science, I couldn't imagine someone without 10+ years on COMP-SCI being able to seriously grasp this shit.

Again, none of this is a problem if your 16 years old, and you already wrote your own C++ compiler in GO, without anybody's help, including all the code generation, I think it only took Stallman about 20 years to write GCC/C++, and he too is/was a genius

...

Yes, to answer your question if you were a programmer, you could 'clone' your own BTC and hype it and get rich, if you buy this shit, you will most likely end up a pauper.

Most ppl have a skill, its best they focus on their own skill, and intelligently invest their money, the number of ppl who get rich in BTC is a joke, most of the rich are ppl who were here in 2011 and got their coin for free, the ppl day-trading the majority here you see on this forum, are never going to make more money than a guy with a paper route.

The problem with BITCOIN is that its way beyond the shoeshine boy stage, now every moron on earth thinks he get rich on the bitcoin wave, and this always ends badly for all.

Both of them can give us huge salaries.Being a programmer is a good work ,we can earn monthly by huge salaries but we need to study and learn the skills for being a programmer,more things to know about this work.Being a trader or a bitcoiner can gives us also a profit to work on it and invest on it,we can earn here a lot of profit but we need to wait patiently for the increasing price value.Both of them are worth in earning money we need to use it in a wise and manage idea,,its hard to earn money now in every salary we have use it in worth way for not loosing it all.

I suggest you take a look at quantitative trading and high-frequency trading, and in cryptocurrency markets, these two skills are fairly lucrative.
