Topic: Did Bitcoin Bring a Smile to Your Face? How Did You Make It Happen? - page 3. (Read 559 times)

Bitcoin brings a smile to my face especially when I cashed out my first few bitcoins and used them successfully online. I couldn't believe it was actually happening. The feeling of happiness when I started earning my first bitcoins in the past was truly amazing. Bitcoin has been uncredible and it's still is in helping me with various things. When I don't have a lot of money in my bank account, I can exchange some of my bitcoins for financial assistance eliminating the need to borrow money from anyone else.

Although a lot of people are convinced that Bitcoin is a zero sum game, I don't think that's the case. I do think that Bitcoin has made more happy people than sad people. But then, the end game for eaxh individual is influenced by their choices and decisions.

- Got into Bitcoin early but sold off early, then Bitcoin didn't cause it. There was a choice and they chose to sell.
- Got into Bitcoin at the peak and lost money is not because of Bitcoin. There is always a choice.

I also think it’s unnecessary to quit your job because of bitcoin, I know some people might be trading bitcoin and some might just buy and hold, but if anyone is involved in either of the two, you don’t have to quit your job because of it. Bitcoin investment is kind of very easy and it those not even take much time, and if you are having a job, you can still allocate some certain amount of money from your salary to keep on accumulating more bitcoin, and if you are into trading, you can be at your work place and still trade without stress, and your job will serve as alternative source of income, because we shouldn’t depend on only one source of income.

I know it's a common excuse, but most people have said it from time to time. But I don't think it's always wrong to leave your main job to build a more profitable business if you make a large profit from trading or investing.

After all, you don't always have to waste opportunities in life to try something that you think is better financially. Sometimes we need to sacrifice something to get something bigger even though the results are not necessarily as we expect. Then from that, if you are not properly appreciated by government policies or your boss at your place of work including disproportionate salary, then I think the decision to try a new life challenge is not a bad decision.

Its actually a complete madness to leave your job simply because you want to venture into cryptocurrency without having any preliminary knowledge and experience  of it.
And I will advice that you maintain your job as that will be a backup funds on your cryptocurrency honey because I do believe that there might be some irresistible losses that might come along the line and you'll  definitely need your salary to sustain by then.

Well I'm glad you know that nothing good comes easy and that's why you really have to be consistent  in your dealings and it is always beneficial to get more knowledge  about crypto  before wanting to invest.

Yea sure bitcoin has really improved the lives of its adopters because if you buy bitcoin,you can feel secured from inflation and you can also make some profit from it if you are a trader or a holder of bitcoin, since there is always a bull run from investors to empty their bags for good profit. I don't think that it is a good idea to quit your job for bitcoin if you have a good job. People that can quit their jobs and concentrate more on their bitcoin investment are those that are living in a third world country with poor economy and lack of good job opportunities.

I came to the forum this year and I had my first bitcoin not quite long but I have this rest of mind that I am building my financial stability for the nearest future since I have being piling up my btc from signature campaign to hodli till the next ATH,when I will then check my bitcoin investment portfolio to see how much it worth and from there,I will know what to do. I feel happy to be saving in bitcoin because am using it as a store of value.

First I should talk about me. I was involved with Bitcoin much earlier when it was below 1K and that time I was holding a good amount of Bitcoin. But I was unable to hold it and that's why I spent a good amount from my holding. But still I am happy to see the craze of Bitcoin. So I have both smiley and saddy situation for Bitcoin. Everyone smiles when Bitcoin hits new ATH or follow a bullish trend if they are involved.

Sad part is that I couldn't hold it for a long period but Bitcoin helped me a lot at my study period when extra money is really much helpful. I made a good profit from it and I am really happy what I have gained.
I think above these all are very common to hear but you will feel the importance when you face it.

That's a good point because I saw someone take it too seriously that they think it is a get rick quick scheme. Obviously it's not. And even a day trader should not leave their jobs because of involvement. You can still trade by doing your own analysis and putting a take profit and stop loss point. When you are doing your Job you will have faith to face any bad condition or a long term bearish season. Obviously it's should not be neglected that Bitcoin can also face a bad journey so why we will take this risk ?

I don't think it's a wise decision to leave work just to focus on Bitcoin, because Bitcoin doesn't require someone to always be on standby in front of a computer to track its movements every second, minute or even hour. The joy that adorns the faces of those who have succeeded in reaping profits from Bitcoin trading or investment activities can grace yours too.

Bitcoin doesn't look at anyone to make someone believe in its potential, everyone who has deep knowledge of how to trade and invest in Bitcoin will have joy on their face after profiting from their trust in Bitcoin. Wise steps are needed to achieve happiness from Bitcoin, if you hesitate or take the wrong steps, the happiness you hoped for could turn into sadness.

Bitcoin has changed a lot of people about people's financial life but don't have to quit their job to focus on Bitcoin because Bitcoin is not a job like a real job.
For those who think Bitcoin is a job, they use Bitcoin for trading and trading is a very risky activity because the market is very volatile. Trading requires special skills in contrast to investing.

Really can't see the faces of those who lost a lot of money on coins that are considered to be able to bring big profits investing in the promised project.

If they have become full-time spot/futures traders then they will quit their jobs because trading is more interesting to make a lot of money than working, but if as a long-term bitcoin investment it would be good to keep the existing job because investment will not earn every time unlike trading.

For OP it is not easy to bring happiness to our faces in bitcoin, maybe we are already about the word "high risk/high return" as long as you can't control well everything will be lost so fast in the crypto market, but one thing is the most important if investing long-term then you need another job to earn every month.

Never leave work while your bitcoin investment is long-term.

Read carefully what the OP wrote and you can get an answer from that :


If the same question is still bothering you, then I will tell you that the internet is full of stories about how people got rich because they invested in BTC when it was worth a few tens of $ or maybe a few hundred $ - and some who read those stories think that maybe they too could realize their dreams with the help of Bitcoin. In other words, why work 7 or 10 hours a day and not be able to earn enough for a decent life, if there is something that has changed the lives of others for the better.

Of course, stories are one thing, but reality is something completely different. Everyone's life can change overnight if they win the lottery or find a treasure chest. Maybe you should check what is buried under an old tree

https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/02/california-couple-finds-10m-buried-treasure-in-back-yard

Do not listen to these articles, they stimulate your greed by telling you that there is a magic solution to live a better life instead of working for several hours a day you can invest in bitcoin and you will get rich quickly which is completely wrong and then instead of investing in bitcoin you can invest in X altcoin and you will get rich faster, It's a scam and they only have these false promises.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a good long-term investment. If you do not have work, money to buy a good amount of bitcoin and wait for several years, you will not be able to achieve a good return on this investment.

It has been quite interesting going through the comments under this thread post, Can we say in conclusion it is a very bad idea stopping our monthly paid job for Bitcoin trading or Holding?

Bitcoin stories are not all rosy, there's a sad part to it so don't go jumpy and celebrating that you've seen the key to financial freedom without having a proper knowledge of how Bitcoin works. Take some time to know more about Bitcoin, learn about the market, the best time to invest and when to take profit and also learn about wallet security.

Bitcoin has no doubt positively touched a lot of lives among whom I happened to be one but I just want to say that I don't think it's wise for a person to quit his job because of the money he makes from Bitcoin. Bitcoin investment is more like a side hustle and shouldn't prevent anyone from doing his personal business or working in an establishment.

Seriously, Bitcoin has not yet changed my life financially because I have never witnessed any bull run since I started my Bitcoin investment journey. I just started to invest in Bitcoin last year, despite being aware of it for Long time, but I believe it will soon change my life financially because I promised myself that I would not sell my bitcoin unless I have witnessed at least two bull runs to come, and we are expecting one to come soon after the Bitcoin halving period we expecting next year.

But honestly, despite the fact that Bitcoin has not changed my life financially, it has changed my lifestyle. Since I started to invest in Bitcoin, I have learned how to economize, like not lavishing money on unnecessary things because once I bought it, it was always hard for me to sell it back. So I just believe there are many ways Bitcoin can put a smile on someone's face.
 
As for those who claim that they quit their jobs after making good profits from their Bitcoin investments, I don't think that's a good idea unless someone wishes to establish their own physical business with the money they get from their Bitcoin investments. But apart from that, if you rely on bitcoin as your only source of income, they warn against it because of the risk that bitcoin involves and because nobody knows what will happen in the future.

Hey! Welcome to the forum.

For me nothing has changed. I am still waiting to be part of the financial revolution. I have also read inspiring stories and have joined this journey by being part of the forum. I still feel the same but it takes a lot of time to keep yourself updated.

Another newbie decided that Bitcoin would change his life for the better. Why do so many people not see the other side? Everyone thinks that if you invest a certain amount, it will grow by leaps and bounds.
OP, land on the ground. If you currently have a good amount to invest in Bitcoin, it means that you are already doing well. If you think that you will invest a little and soon make a good profit, then you are in for disappointment.
In addition, you do not need to invest all your funds. Life is unpredictable, and at an unexpected moment, you may need money that you do not have. I will not talk about volatility or the safety of storing your funds in Bitcoin, but what I read about changing jobs specifically for Bitcoin is, in my opinion, complete madness.

Well I'm glad you're happy but while you were reading those blogs and articles didn't you ever come across writings of how people have gone bankrupt because of bitcoin? And also how some other persons have incured some drastic losses as well?
Every  good has is bad and that also applies to bitcoin and I believe that its advantages outweighs the disadvantages but the truth be told that it takes patience and some good research to stay blessed in the industry and i some little advice for you which includes:
1. Don't be in a haste to invest but rather take your time to study about what you're about getting into it.

2. When you begin investing, don't store your coins on exchanges

3. Don't be too greedy and don't click on random links, they might be scam

4. The make profit rule of cryptocurrencies is buying low and selling high so you always have to stay active.

5. I will also advice that you hold for longer term as this is one of the best and less risky way to profit.

Goodluck.

People who quit their jobs probably have invested in Bitcoin very early on. Imagine not needing to work for the rest of your life because of the amount of money that you have gathered with the investment that you have. That's amazing, to be honest, to have that life-changing amount.

For me, discovering Bitcoin has made me wiser in terms of having to invest in the right places like knowing what really matters and what doesn't and it has given me opportunities that I wouldn't have now if I hadn't known Bitcoin. It brings a smile to my face because of that.

Hey! beautiful topic this one Agbamoni.

In my case, I didn't quit my job because of Bitcoin, but on the contrary: I quitted my job a year before (re)discovering Bitcoin. I was having a bad time there, which was followed by a whole year of depression and hypochondria.

After bottoming out, I found this forum, joined some campaigns and recovered hope and, yes, smile! It is true that it was another time, 2017, when the market was not so mature and I think that there were more opportunities, but I hope other people who learn about Bitcoin and/or members who join now the forum can tell a similar story in a few years.
