I agree to that and that is the best strategy that you can do in order to avoid getting affected in your work but at the same tiem having a good progress in studying and learning the cryptocurrency. Although I'm a software developer myself, but its really hard to juggle your time being a developer and heavily evolving yourself in crypto business

I am glad that you just almost loss it and you still have your job mate,be thankful to your boss that he/she gives you another chance so do your job well and make sure that you can manage your time since you cannot afford to loss it. I think you are right and strongly agree with your opinion, and your experience is very helpful to me personally who was once keen to focus in crypto field, but after I think and read this post

I have quit my job very first day when I invested in crypto because I was highly persuaded that this would be more worthy

E? I think you can only do this if you have silver spoon on your mouth tho! Anyways with that rank you can really make a fortune now. ^_^

For the OP, I hope you learned a lesson. If you really like your job, don't let the sideline crypto ruin it. Just as nothing is forever in this world, so is crypto and your job.

Learn to prioritize what will help you more from now on. ^_^

Like the title says, i almost lost my regular job as a software developer today when my boss reviewed my work. The job has been able to economically provide a comfortable life for me and losing it would really be a big hit to my income. I almost lost it because i spent so much time learning about everything crypto (mining, trading, bounties, etc.).

Has anyone else experienced this? I just feel pretty lucky I was given another chance and want to remind other people that having a regular job is much better than relying on the volatility of cryptocurrencies. Make sure you prioritize your work!


I hope you learned your lesson bro! You can always do your research and your bounties at home or in your spare time, its unfair if you do it while you are paid by your boss and there you are doing something else. I know someone who put all his time in crypto before while he was working but he already resigned and focused in crypto its just a matter of choice if you think having a day job is way better than focusing in crypto then that's you.

Many people has already experienced it too for sure so you should be more careful next time since relying on bitcoin or other crypto alone will not be advisable for anyone considering the risks it contains whenever you are working on it. Give importance to your regular job and work hard too with your investment in crypto to gain more money.

Yeah, I think it is a common phenomenon among crypto geeks...  Grin Besides me, I also know a bunch of guys with the same issue. I would say try not to lose your job, do good time management, and if you are really interested in crypto, lets try to find a way to make a permanent living from it.

It's not called crypto... it's called addiction. Like all addictions, they sap the strength from you, taking away the focus necessary from your job, your family, your studies, your finances. I'm glad you realised that, and glad you kept your job. Hopefully you've learnt your lesson not to give your whole life to Bitcoin. It's great to have a belief system, and great that Bitcoin can provide so much opportunity, but you know what? There's everything else to live for. Go outside, smell some coffee, talk to people. Your crypto will probably benefit from paying attention to all other aspects of life. I know it has for me, but I'm old so maybe I had to learn all my lessons from other addictions;)

Thanks for sharing.

It is good that you keep your job because nowadays a lot of coins start to fall its price that is why it is very hard to earn huge profits in cryptocurrency. It is better to keep your job while using bitcoin for you to have more better income.

Yes, don't ever quit your job for Cryptos. We are not sure if it will be stable, good to secure ourselves with stable job. Especially when you are not so knowledgeable in crypto world, you might be lose without any back-up if that will happen. It is better to check your status on how much you know about what you are trying to enter. This was a hard decision including your loyalty to a company.

bitcoin is great
I know this differs between people,there are some whose work is cryptocurrency,full time.It depends on your your level of involvement really.That being said,if your regular job mean so much to you,you should probably spend less time online with cryptos.Cryptos are high reward,high risk ecosystem.

Wow! I am amazed by you bro because not  all of crypto currency lovers that are working have the same point of view like you. Some wanted to leave their job to commit their time fully in crypto currency, although they knew it is risky but because of having faith that it has a great opportunity to earn big in just a short period of time they are neglecting the possible risk.
Being full time is good but leaving your status unstable will harden the situation.

I almost quit my job, I thought bitcoin will continue to give me earnings to support my daily expenses. But honestly the volatility of cryptocurrencies is hard to rely on.

Specially nowadays that the progress of bitcoin has slowed down in terms of expanding market use. Less business establisments/ stores have been accepting bitcoin recently and it's function is less used that may eventually lead to bitcoin's downfall.

Each person sets his own priorities. Personally, I have a different situation, and I have never regretted that I began to study everything about crypto-currencies, bounty campaigns, etc., as this provides additional income with the opportunity to leave my job and earn money only with the help of crypto currency.

It has never happened to me and I doubt it will. I am pretty good at managing my time and I always find time for everything that I want.

I was a student back then when I was still learning more about bitcoin.I remembered that I actually got lazy doing homeworks because I'm too busy posting and my mind will be block because it is already exhausted from posting. I think this should also be a lesson. Make sure you prioritize your studies

p.s. for students only

I am glad you got a second chance, this short story can be instructive to many of us. Acualy, I also have some people around, who IMO spend too much time with crypocurrencies, even during the worktime. Hard to find he right balance sometimes.

I work with crypto only in my spare time and I will keep my work offline. I think It's really bad and risk losing your regular job to work full time with cryptocurrency. because there is always instability in the crypto world, while you need a steady income to bill and pay for your life

This event is commonly happened in every once life, I actually understand this because we are also humans and we didn't expect what will happen if we unable to take other opportunities to makes us successful in the future. Losing the current regular job because of crypto is very painful feelings since we didn't determine when it will happen.
When I first learned crypto it is really hard to manage my time between my permanent job. I was always late before and made many absences because I prioritize my part time job for I was thinking i will earn more money here, and yes it is more profitable joining crypto than in my regualar job but I will not allow to lost it. For me it is not practical to leave your job because of crypto. Learn to balance everything so that you will not regret at the end of the day.

I have quit my Job too because i like to focus on trading and supporting crypto projects. Its a lot more fun and i´m my own Boss even tho i dont know how sustainable it will be in the long run. I take my chances.
I mean if you're making enough money with your new "job" then there's nothing to really sway you to go back to whatever you had before. I personally prefer to have a lot of contacts and networking that I can use should it ever be necessary, but then again I'm in an industry where having those contacts really are the difference between having a successful career or floundering for a long period of time before. If it was a dead-end job or a poor industry in general, there's nothing wrong with moving onto something with more prospects, provided you can pay for your needs.
