Topic: Did Bitcoin Bring a Smile to Your Face? How Did You Make It Happen? (Read 581 times)

It is true that Bitcoin is a digital currency in which people have been able to change their lives by investing. But there are many investors who invest and lose their money only if you look at the profit then it will be wrong you also have to look at the volatility in the market. Many times it is seen that when the market volatility starts, the investors face a lot of losses, so it is important to know when the investment can be profitable. Although Bitcoin does a lot to change a person's life but only those who are wise can change their goals. But what you said to invest in bitcoins by quitting your job I think it would be a stupid thing to do because there is no need to invest in bitcoins by quitting your job. If you work in a company and are connected to Bitcoin, it will not be a problem to continue working, and you can easily invest in Bitcoin along with the job to manage your life. If you are a new investor then you must first learn well about the Bitcoin market and take advice from experienced people.

Not only happiness investment in crypto currency gives a roller coaster of emotions the market is volatile it changes as always when the market becomes demand on it. People will just happy because their investment get profit and have a lot of project gives them a positive income but not always it happen the market goes down too this is happen when the peak already reach and the people now selling their assets because they got their take profit.
Not always crypto gives happiness sometimes mix emotions during the bear market.

Bitcoin is a good innovation that has happened to our generation it also has a happy and sad part. People who invest in Bitcoin in a bear market are the ones whose Bitcoin put a smile on their faces while people who invested in Bitcoin late usually wait for another all-time high of Bitcoin before they can be happy with their investment.

I am new to bitcoins, and have not really experienced any moment of joy yet, but I hope to smile soon by next year when the halving which has been talked about finally happens. I am motivated by all the stories and know that when I finally smile, it will be filled with fulfillment from being disciplined to keep my bitcoins. I am aggressively looking for ways to increase the bitcoins I own, because I know that the more the bitcoins, the bigger the smile and feeling of fulfillment.

Looking at how the market condition right now and a year back, I think it's impossible to meet end meets just by investing or trading on Bitcoin. I know that some people just hate their job, but for me I don't just do my job because of the money, well obviously I do it for the money but not just that, I also like doing my job. At least for now I can surely said that even if Bitcoin can fund my life, I would still keep my job,

Don't be too easy to believe in other people's testimonies about the beauty of their success stories, not necessarily what they tell is the reality that happened. Some may be true but beware most of such stories are fabricated in order to get attention to visit their blog, or maybe even on the prowl for them to trick under the guise of offering you success in Bitcoin too.
If someone is an expert and gets a lot of profit then it's okay to quit his job because sometimes there are people who are lucky to quit their jobs because they pursue activities in Bitcoin to earn income but not all of them can be like that.
However, if there is someone who is new to Bitcoin or someone who doesn't understand Bitcoin, I hope they are not inspired to quit the job they have.

When we start to fall in love with something, in this case Bitcoin, then whatever happens to Bitcoin will make us happy and smile. This will happen in various conditions of the Bitcoin. But not everyone can express it. Not only for whales, we all deserve happiness from Bitcoin. I personally have felt it since a few years ago, when Bitcoin was bullish for the first time, that's when the happiness about Bitcoin started to emerge. However, a smile will not always be placed on our face, because of various conditions, sometimes the smile changes. But that doesn't mean Bitcoin can't bring smiles anymore. The point is how do we respond to various things and conditions of Bitcoin and when we are able to always enjoy it, then it will always produce its own happiness, regardless of the market conditions.

Bitcoin is currently the most popular crypto currency in the entire crypto currency market. I think people like Bitcoin the most for investment. You are right that there are always risks in investing, and the crypto currency market is a risky market. Here at any time the market can fall and cause losses. I think investing in Bitcoin is safer than other crypto currencies in the market. Here the risks of loss are minimal. However, you are right that futures trading in Bitcoin should always be avoided, because the chances of loss in futures trading are very high, if one does not understand it, it can be very harmful for him. It is very important to know the complete information and profit and loss about any trade whether it is Bitcoin or any other.

When bitcoin has given you all you wanted in life and the income from investment and trading is much more better than that of the job, wouldn't you leave the job that alienated you work force in the industry or company? If bitcoin pays well, you have to let go your job and become self-employed to employ others.

This is why Bitcoin Investment is the Most Popular Current Investment and Bitcoin definitely offers an adrenaline rush right now. But, What is certain is that this requires strong mental readiness in investing in cryptocurrencies to avoid severe depression because whatever type of investment instrument, of course, there must still be small or large risks. Likewise with investing with Bitcoin, what you shouldn't do is trade (speculate) through futures if you don't really understand or go along with it. So, before starting, make sure you fully understand what Bitcoin is, its characteristics, risks and benefits.

Yes, by going out from my comfort zone and took some calculated risks which I think will give me rewards in the future. And now, I’m starting to reap all the time and efforts that I have entrusted into bitcoin. Thanks for this bitcointalk forum that I have made myself highly educated with regards to bitcoin and I know with continuous trust and patience towards the market,  I will be able to enjoy more of its potential profits that are coming on my way. However, not all of us here have experienced the same feeling. Some are actually bitter towards bitcoin, not only because they lose their hard-earned from investing into it, but also because they miss another opportunity to enter the market because they are busy gossiping that bitcoin is certainly another type of scheme.

It doesn't matter how little the profits are but for the fact that investing in Bitcoin can give you an additional extra cash to handle things that's a win in my books. Looking at my wallet and seeing the profits that has been added to my current balance because bitcoin appreciated in price bring smiles to my face, I have learnt to accept the little things that happens in our life as those are the things that bring the best smile and not always the bigger things. Imagine not having money to body food for the day or so something important but you check your wallet and there are some profits gained on your investments, that you can sell to quench your taste for food, that alone is a win and it'll put smile on your face.

I don't support quiting your job totally no matter the amount of profits Bitcoin gave to you, the only time you can quit (but you'll have to look for a new job) is when you don't like the job that you were doing and it stresses you. You can quit that job and move to a more comfortable job but don't stop working entirely because when you do that you're already making a big mistakes that many people make when they win big money, stay low and keep on building your wealth instead of living loud and large.

No problem if you are very curious, but don't be too obsessed to earn huge money from Bitcoin. Understand first how Bitcoin works, don't too early claim everything is full of happiness with Bitcoin.

It is not surprising if many articles or YT videos told the success of some people with Bitcoin. Early investors who can keep their Bitcoin until they sold in the last bullrun season surely gain big profits. However, it is not as easy as we know, it requires a struggle and long patience. There are people who can live better after they gain profits from Bitcoin investment. But you also need to understand that many people are unlucky about their Bitcoin investment. Instead of getting profits, they lost huge amount of money. The reasons can be varied, but mostly they are about lack of knowledge and impatience. So, don't only learn how people get happiness with Bitcoin, you also must know why many people got bad experience with Bitcoin.

Anyway, whatever the reason, quitting the job isn't a wise decision. Investing in Bitcoin is high risk, while trading Bitcoin doesn't guarantee to earn money constantly.

It did happen but obviously never at the beginning since learning bitcoin at first brings a lot of stress and confusion especially that it’s not an easy topic but a broad and complicated one. But when you get to be knowledgeable and even experienced in the end, that’s the time that you will appreciate the value of bitcoin, especially if it brings a lot of positive changes in your life.

Yes. The fact that it’s making me live the way I want to be, so it’s a big help that bitcoin exist otherwise, I could be struggling to earn huge compensation from day job which I think is quite impossible especially if you are just a beginner in your job or position. However, never expect that bitcoin brings only smile because in reality, it’s also a source of sleepless nights and hard and tiring days especially if you are still learning how to invest in bitcoin.

I can't wait for that day to come. But the truth is, Bitcoin doesn't just bring only happiness but rather, it also bring sadness, frustration etc but I pray we never be a victim of frustration...

Looking at my wallet sometimes and seeing that the price of Bitcoin is appreciating puts a smile on my face. I usually visualize when Bitcoin will go to ATH and I will make some profit that will financially empower me to achieve my goals. It has not gotten to that time but the thought of such accomplishment gives me so much joy and some level of fulfillment. For me, my only step towards accomplishing my goal is to keep holding and not falling for the FUD.

Well, for me Bitcoin hasn't directly put smile on my face so to say. However, I dare say that Bitcoin related businesses that I'm involved in have done all that. I've a little investment in Bitcoin but I haven't been able to profit from it in a way to say I've made a breakthrough from it. We also need to state it clearly here that people shouldn't assume the 10 cent they put down on Bitcoin should fetch them $1,000. It doesn't work that way. One needs to invest heavily to reap heavily. Investing that meagre in Bitcoin isn't a sure pass to wealth. Even when one invests heavily, there should be a time of wait to reap. It's not an instant gratification.

Testimony of the success of Bitcoin investors shared through various social media has become an inspiration for others who previously did not know about Bitcoin to want to learn about Bitcoin. I think you are also inspired by the success of other people who have managed to change their lives after getting involved in Bitcoin investing.
No need to quit your job to get involved or deepen your knowledge of Bitcoin, you can still learn about Bitcoin while doing your usual routine. Bitcoin doesn't require you to only focus on one area, you can do time management to do several routines at once without stopping from the main job.

Bitcoin is highly profitable. But however I wouldn't advise you quit your job, because investing is bitcoin isn't too much of a stress, so I believe you can multitask. So doing your job and also investing in Bitcoin is possible.
A lot of people get their happy moments from trading bitcoin, as is highly profitable but needs you to be very vigilant and calculative when trading, so you won't run into loss.

Don't believe everything you see online, mate, as most of those online testimonies are all fabricated stories from content creators and some so-called influencers as a means of attracting traffic and members to their channel. The time when bitcoin lifted most people out of poverty has long gone, as it's hard for you to even see 2 times your invested amount on bitcoin in this period without holding for a long period of time.



Holding and trading over your job could be considered unwise financial decisions. Holding Bitcoin does not give out an immediate profit, for one should focus much more on buying and holding than the profit he or she is to make in a short period of time. Buying and holding Bitcoin don't benefit holders in an instant, and as such, it can't sustain a jobless individual; instead, it will make you panic sell when you are in need.

As for trading, it will require a great deal of dedication in order for one to do that, as it will require a lot of perfection, which I believe no trader is perfect, and as such, losses could be expected most times during a trade, and when such time comes, you will be left with no option but to save or lose it all, taking a greater risk.

Because of the risk involved in bitcoin trading, I do not believe it is a wise decision to stop our monthly paid job for bitcoin trading or holding; however, holding bitcoin is a good thing to do; yet, if we decide to leave our job to hold bitcoin, we will not have some money to use on daily expenses. We can save some of our monthly earnings to buy bitcoin and use the rest to cover our fundamental necessities.

I've never been pleased than since discovering Bitcoin. I believe Bitcoin is a game-changer with the potential to destabilize the current financial system, which gives me a lot of hope for the future. We have the ability to create a more fair and just world with Bitcoin, and I am really pleased to be a part of it. Furthermore, merely keeping Bitcoin has been a fantastic experience as I have watched its value rise and become more generally appreciated. Overall, learning about Bitcoin has been a rewarding experience for me.

I believe some people don't grasp cryptocurrency because they are unmotivated. What I mean is that most individuals are unfamiliar with the crypto industry. It's packaged in a new language they'd have to learn, and it's not backed by organizations they know and trust. So perhaps the issue should be: why should people trust an ethereal money that isn't dependent on any tangible product or production source? It is frequently neither issued nor backed by a reputable organization, and its worth appears to be entirely dependent on the willingness of others to speculate on market volatility and invest.

Yes, Stopping your monthly-paid job to concentrate on crypto trading might be the worst decision anyone could ever make, as that alone can ruin your financial life. Every means of earning is essential in developing one's financial growth, and if you are opportune to have some trading skills and also have a daily, only monthly-paid job, I will advise you to keep both, as they will work hand in hand to aid your financial growth.

Leaving your Job to concentrate on trading means you will have to make trading your major source of income, and that is entirely where your bill settlement will come from. When you depend solely on trading for survival, you will be forced to make some hasty trading decisions, taking risks that you were never supposed to take in order to take home a profit every single day. That kind of rush trading can liquidate your entire assets within a short period of time. So it is better you keep your job by learning a trading skill, and you can also use funds earned from your Job to buy and accumulate Bitcoin, which your secured job will help you hold for a long period of time.

The real financial freedom in Bitcoin is the knowledge that comes along with it adoption at individual level because the knowledge will help you to avoid the high risk and minimise them by way of taking the right financial decision and investment pattern, there is no doubt that many have been helped and smile put on their faces through they investment and profitability and also we have those who may have ugly experience with Bitcoin such as those who did not pay attention to the market price by investing in bitcoin at the All time high.

So for quitting your job for Bitcoin, well it all depends on your income from your job compared to your passive profits accumulation over time and how financially free you are at the moment.

Indeed, Bitcoin has brought a smile to my face and my family's too. Throughout the journey, I have accumulated a substantial amount of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which has enabled me to establish a stable life. Without Bitcoin, I might have been stuck with a regular job or business, but thanks to crypto marketing, I continue to earn a decent income.

If there are positive and exciting testimonies about bitcoin, surely there are also a lot of negative declarations that will ruin the reputation of bitcoin. So it’s up to you how you’ll weigh things based on your own bitcoin experience. But personally on my part, bitcoin has made me discouraged at first but later on, when I decide to keep going on it, I’ve come to realized that there are better endings with bitcoin, and that makes bitcoin worth of our risk and efforts. Just took away your greed and being impatient, then you will experience the joy that bitcoin brings.

I must admit that bitcoin really brought a smile to my face, simply because it’s definitely a life-changer for me. But be careful on some articles that are telling you to leave your job and focus on bitcoin. That is not the safest option to take. Keep your job while making bitcoin as your side hustle, I guess that will make you live your life worry free.

Bitcoin is designed to be a good currency, and not as a job that will give you monthly income. While a lot can prove that it’s profitable, but it can never guarantee a consistent income like a real job is.

Of course! that's genuine happiness. Because once you cashed out and realized all your profits, you know that all the risk, money, and stresses involved in your investments are all worth it. It become fruitful. It is because not because it was easy happiness. It becomes genuine happinnes because trading or investing is one of the most difficult profession and you overcome it with your profits.

It's not like you imagine mate. that smile on his face has been through steps and struggles passed with tears and time. we just see his happiness but forget about how they fight to get that smile. I know that because have a friend who has experienced it. he struggled in the past and how hard to hold his Bitcoin to not spend it when ATH.

In bitcoin, we don't need to resign from the main job to focus on it, don't do that, because we can make bitcoin as a side job, like trading or long-term investment with I think didn't bother the main job when you able to managed itu.

For sure Bitcoin brings a smile to a lot of traders, I mean just feeling the joy of making a profit on cryptocurrency is just a great thing, I remember when I do daily trading when I learned a lot of things, and when I buy Bitcoin it just makes me happy, I don't really know but when I started to accumulate Bitcoin its almost like I'm addicted on investing and I just want to buy more and more Bitcoin until I accumulate a big amount of it.

Also when I started on cryptocurrency my friend told me about this forum, and it was really a great help on everything related to cryptocurrency, I did learn a lot of things here in the forum and have a good engagement with a lot of members here in the Bitcointalk community. Not just hearing about other members' experiences but sharing my own experience as well. It is just great to know this community where all of us are the same that we believed on cryptocurrency and especially what the Bitcoin potential and do in the future. So we started all to buy and invest on bitcoin, for sure this is all going to give a huge profit in the future.

Bitcointalk forum is one of the very few places on the internet where you can get genuine information and engagement from forum members, you have already read testimonies on blogs about the benefits of bitcoin I expect you’d ask us here our bad experiences after being in the crypto space for x years, because hodling bitcoin isn’t a easy ride. I have noticed blogs only carry stories that are likely to attract readers, they do not care if the content is true or not. I would not encourage anyone to quit their job just because they made some money from investing, many will not value the stability a job brings until they lose it.

I think that most of those who smiled because of Bitcoin were investors whose savings value increased in a record way without being ready for that. This does not eliminate the possibility of the opposite, because surely some others lost their smile due to the decline in the price of Bitcoin after buying it for the purpose of investing, and you can imagine the position of those who decided to invest when the price exceeded 62 thousand dollars two years ago, to drop after that and not return to that level to this day.
Personally, I can say that Bitcoin always makes me smile when I remember that it changed my life forever since I got to know it in 2014. I live in a country that does not allow financial transfers outside the borders, and with the advent of Bitcoin, I can work freely on the Internet and facilitate the establishment of various relationships around the world, free from all restrictions imposed by the country's system.

You can think about leaving your current job only if you have other sources of income secured. Whether it's from Bitcoin investments, cryptocurrency trading, or any other crypto-related business, it doesn't matter. If you read testimonies of individuals who quit their jobs because of Bitcoin, most of them are early investors who bought a lot when BTC was way cheaper than it is now, securing their financial stability. Check out historical graphs of how much Bitcoin grew in past bull runs. It's unlikely to repeat that kind of growth, and the best we can hope for is maybe a 2x or 3x price appreciation compared to the last ATH.

Never you quit your job because of BTC because investing your money in BTC doesn't affect your job, so don't let anybody deceive you with fake information that will make you regret for the rest of your life when you quit your job.  I was a treasurer in our club and every month there are amount of money the club is saving in my hands against end of the year celebration, which I took the advantage of the money and invest it in BTC early January 2019 when the price of BTC was $9,199 in the market, and I try my possible best to hold till December ending when the price of BTC hit $13,578 before I release the coin to market to make a good money that increased me financially in the society.  I will advise you not to invest what you can't afford to lose in BTC because the price can decide to remain low through out the year, but there is a hope that the price will surely increase higher in future which is one of the advantage that made people to cherish BTC investment.

Op do not be deceived by some crazy things you see some people write in some articles about bitcoin, bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme where you can invest today and get a double of your investment as they always say don't listen to them.Yes some people have actually left their job to pursue bitcoin investment and jobs but maybe you should try and find out the type of jobs they do before you consider doing likewise so you don't come back here crying even though you didn't say you have left your job to invest money in bitcoin.

Most people who have benefited most on bitcoin investment are long term holders who bought bitcoin when the price was around $16k and during the bull run they got a good profit for believing and not selling their coins even when their was fear and doubt, a lot have been said about the next bull run you can buy now with the amount you can afford to lose but don't quit your job and don't invest with all your money.

Some quit their jobs? Well, if they know that they can earn more, and they know that it's stable well I guess there's nothing wrong with it.
I wouldn't suggest this especially if your income source that's related to Bitcoin isn't stable like your current job, but I believe most of these people who are earning thru Bitcoin, and crypto are probably freelancers, or traders at least. Anyway, seeing them quitting their current job to focus on Bitcoin isn't a bad thing because I've done it as well.

I don't know how to explain it, but Bitcoin brings smile to me, but at the same time, brings food to our table on a daily basis.
Lesser stress, happier, less working time, more time with family, more time for myself. These are the things that I achieved when I started earning thru Bitcoin, and quitted my past job. I don't have a specific moment where Bitcoin makes me happy, but welcome OP to the crypto forum.

It would be more self-fulfilling if you have bitcoin in your life without leaving your current job. That is the correct mindset to deal with bitcoin, and when it profits, surely you will experience all out happiness without worrying aside if your bitcoin price suddenly crashed because you still have a reliable job to cover up in case you lose.

However, it’s undeniable and inevitable to see people experience financial breakthrough with bitcoin. But that will only happen if you’re not greedy on the side, and you let your bitcoin investment sleep in your account without pressuring yourself to sell it especially when you experience financial breakdown.

I would not advise you to take that part if you have a real job. Please know that you can be employed, and while doing your job, you can still Invest in Bitcoin and make profit during the bull market just like every other investor will. Bitcoin investment doesn't limit any investor from doing anything else; in fact, Bitcoin Investment gives you the freedom to do anything else while you still have your asset in your wallet, or you can also be doing a real job, receiving a salary, and still accumulating some fractions of Bitcoin gradually in addition to the one you already have. In every investment, the higher your investment, the higher your profit (same with Bitcoin investment). If you still have a continuous inflow of income from your other source of income, you can still keep accumulating, either weekly or monthly, depending on what you want.

Nothing is stable with bitcoin and cryptocurrency since even if you earn something today you cannot be so sure if you can still earn the same in future. So not good if you quit on your job because of thus since you might be in bad position and everything might fall apart if bad things happen, we should remember that there's always bad market situation always happen and to bad if we got badly affected with that since maybe we can't recover especially if we lose a lot of money in single bearish movement.

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.

if there are those who share the fun and quit their jobs because of the profits from Bitcoin. you better not imitate it. keep working and enjoy your work even though later you will get much more profit from Bitcoin than what you get from your job.
investing will not always be profitable. because when there are those who profit but there will always be those who lose. you read the story of someone who is lucky, it's good to motivate you. but don't forget to read those who are losers. it's good for your experience so you don't make mistakes when investing.

Well, the smiles I remember are from when we were in bull market and Bitcoin kept beating ATH after ATH. That was a couple of years ago, and I remember that all the predictions gave a price peak for the cycle much higher than it ended up being. But they were sweet times while they lasted. People who leave work to focus on Bitcoin are because they somehow set up a business related to it, or switch to a Bitcoin-related job. For those of us who invest a small part of our income, it's not enough.

But behind that joy is sadness and disappointment for those who have not succeeded in changing their lives. People who share their stories on Bitcoin understand how they struggle to survive holding Bitcoin or making it from scratch until they manage to get a lot of profit.

You can learn from the stories of these people and how they survived until they finally experienced how Bitcoin has changed their lives. And you also have to know that behind investing in Bitcoin, there are risks that we must face. And if you are willing to take the risk and still not give up, you can change your life.

And if you haven't made much money, you should keep working as usual and don't quit your job. Especially if what you make from Bitcoin hasn't provided much profit for you.

Welcome to the forum. Bitcoin has brought joy as well as sadness to a lot of people. And you might say bitcoin has transformed lives but i don’t know about bitcoin inspiring people to quit their jobs. Perhaps you could share some of those articles with us. Bitcoin hasn’t inspired anyone that I know of to quit their jobs. On the contrary, people are sourcing for and getting side jobs to earn more so as to comfortably purchase more bitcoin and of course to relieve the burden on your pockets due to the constant rise in goods and services.
You mentioned you’re new to bitcoin. I hope you won’t get so excited reading about those testimonies that you would get inspired yourself to quit your job.

I’d like to add that you shouldn’t believe just everything you read online. Especially on blogs.

Welcome to the Bitcoin forum. Bitcoin is not all about happiness. You might get excited hearing some success stories, but you never heard of the extreme failure of people. I do not see any reason for someone to quit their job because of Bitcoin only. They can quit their job if they want to start a business with Bitcoin like Binance owner CZ did.

Some people have started their companies relying on Bitcoin and must be happy about it. Some people could hold their nerves to survive the bear market and hold their coins long-term, and they are successful today. But there are other sides as well. Countless people had Bitcoin in the early days, and either they gambled it or traded and lost their Bitcoin.

If you are new to Bitcoin, follow these steps.

I don't get why a person has to quit their job because of Bitcoin, it's not like Bitcoin needs all of your time and effort, all you need to do is just buy and hold it. Check the market and get some news like once a week, or even once a month, people should still be able to do their regular job while investing and learning about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin brings happiness and sadness to people because in a zero sum game, one is happy with profit that comes from loss of another who is sad.

Quit your jobs because of Bitcoin is risky and if you have yet been rich, it is a red flag. Money comes easily in cryptocurrency market but it goes quickly too if you can not secure your profit. If you are bad with capital management, your initial capital can go quickly too.

You should only quit your jobs if you are already a millionaire and have some years in this market to know that you are good with risk and capital management.

I'm new to Bitcoin and the Bitcoin forum, but my curiosity is overflowing. I've come across numerous articles and blogs that share exciting testimonies of how Bitcoin has transformed lives, inspiring some individuals to even quit their jobs. It's heartwarming to imagine the joy on their faces. I'd love for all of us to share our happiest moments when Bitcoin brought a smile to our faces and the steps, we took to experience that happiness.
