As a young person, I am overwhelmed by my curiosity in trading Bitcoin, but I'm not sure if it is appropriate for me to resign my white collar work and return to trading exclusively Bitcoin.
This was a conversation a buddy of mine and I had yesterday, and I felt compelled to bring it to this illustrious platform for the best types of advice and counsel.
Is it safe for a Bitcoin trader to quit their jobs and focus solely on Bitcoin trading if they can devote their time and attention to maximize the benefits in the Bitcoin world?
Yes you can, but the question is how knowledgeable, and profitable you are in Bitcoin trading.
Are you making the same amount that you're getting in your white collar work on a daily basis in Bitcoin trading? If yes, then are you consistent enough to gain profits on a daily basis? If yes then you're an expert then because you aren't losing.
. Are you ready just incase you experience losses because even experts experiences losses in trading.
Like you, I also thought of the same thing when I was starting in trading. What if I stop my day-to-day job and just focus on trading? I also have the same questions as you are. Few weeks after that, I started trading in futures because I know that I will not earn that much in spot trading. First few days I was profiting, but after that, I made one wrong entry, forgot to put a stop loss, and got liquidated. My days worth of profit just vanished in one wrong entry.
I'm not saying that my experience will happen to you because we are different. I'm just saying that there's a chance that it might happen to you, and if that happen, are you ready for it? Are you capable of letting your emotions go because sometimes, people let their emotion decide for them. Market don't care about your emotions, and if you lose, nobody cares.
Now to answer your questions, quitting in your job, and solely focus on Bitcoin trading isn't safe at all though I'm not saying that it's prohibited. I'm not recommending you to do it as well. I would suggest to just do both if you can. Continue on your day-to-day job while at the same time, doing some Bitcoin trading. Try trading first before deciding on quitting on your daily job or not.
