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!



     You are very lucky to not lose your job over crypto, I hope a lot learns from your post because this is very important to take in to consideration when trying to earn in crypto. Crypto today is still unclear, so never exchange your day jobs with it. It is okay to have interest in crypto because it has great potential but set a limit for it and always make your day jobs the top priority in your lists.

I can't blame you, if you would want to go on all out with crypto, since it is much more profitable than any job out there, the only thing is, if you are not already secured financially, you will have a hard time because crypto is more volatile than any other investments out there, however it is your discretion if you would choos to go full crypto, you need to be aware of the market, and not only the updates on bitcoin, you should also lesrtn to diversify and make sure that you also know about altcoins and how to earn passive income from them.

That almost seems very unfortunate and I am glad you get another chance to prove yourself worthy.

I personally have no job yet as I am a student but this will serve to me as an early warning to be responsible enough to balance my time to both my priorities. And yes, I would choose my career over cryptocurrencies in the future too.
I think we shouldn’t become sad and feel sorrow for him because he is mature enough to understand everything easily. Who doesn’t knows that investing in BTCs and also online investment of an type is not a secure thing as it is a digital world and can end at any time? So wasting your rock solid job just because of these useless things would be a big blunder from your side.

Hello World!
It's true that most users are quitting their jobs for crypto, but it's really not a good idea. In my case, I'm not yet working and most of my friends are satisfied with what they have since they joined crypto world. Even though some of them forget to do their works as a student, it looks fine with them reasoning out that they have btc. As counterpart to working, it's still not advisable. I also look btc as a part time job since I'm still a student and I need money. Even though btc can give you big amount of money, you can't still rely on that because it's volatile and sometimes once in a blue moon to happen. You still need work for your everyday living.

You should be wise and careful in handling both having a regular job and crypto. You can set aside crypto for the mean time but you should consider your regular job more important than it since it gives you regular profit unlike here in crypto. You can do both at the same time but you should be smart with your time management so none of the two will be left out.

indeed crypto market a lot to make people tempted by the huge profits earned. but we should not neglect our routine work. because I think crypto is just a side job that gives our financial life much better than before.

That amazed me. I see no reason why people lost their regular job because of crypto. Cryto is a second choice of income. I got a job and making it haste.

A friend replaced his regular job with jobs in crypto world. I do not think it is one way. Whatever works for you, then do it. Some earn more and steadily doing crypto while others do not. I do not blame you if you just see this as a side job but others are building a life through their income in crypto. We just need to respect their choices.

Just consider crypto as a side job or investment except your current crypto activity able make you earn more than your current job ( it's ok to resign, IMO)

Human is greedy creature and it's reasonable if they want to seek more income in many ways !

Is playing the world pit fortune?

I say also no because there outside there who have made as work to provide for daily life. But if you have a job in the real world you should prioritize it and make crypto as an additional job. Me, for example, been getting almost the same result as the monthly salary but i'm not gonna leaving my job.

Has anyone else experienced this?tize your work!
Yes, I tried with the way you think. I must admit that the crypto market is very attractive. Personally, I do not like jobs that are constrained by time. And I respect the work that crypto has brought me from the bounty. It gives me a lot of motivation and a kind of free and friendly investment that does not depend on anything.

Maybe you should decrease your time in cryptocurrency cause your real life was affected. Too time in cryptocurrency will be a great lose on your time for someone or something. Just like me I done that. I focus too much on learning in cryptocurrency then I almost lost my girlfriend cause she said that I dont have time for her so I almost lost her

Well, this is not good for you. I am sorry the hear that.
Personally, I can manage my time properly. The key is, to separate the time for the main job and doing a crypto thing. If you do not want to lose your main job, then, for now, you should more pay attention to your main job.

on the practical side it is better to have a solid and regular job rather than depend on how or what income you can get here in crypto but if you can earn as much as triple on what salary you have then it is better to quit your job for crypto,

i think this is just a matter of setting the time. permanent work is my hobby, as well as cryptocurrency. if i run them both in tandem, so it can run smoothly without one work being defeated

That's true, but at some point we cannot resist the urge to do some searching regarding this platform and how it was working, however ee must know and remember our priorities, if your stable job is the one you prioritize then be it, we can satisfy our cravings after a workload that we had. Better to make an entire schedule, and follow it, self-discipline is a must.

right now I have two areas of work that I have to live that is the work I do in the real world as well as the activities I do in the crypto world. I do two fields of work because I think for the activities that I do in the world of crypto will not be able to determine whether I will succeed or not. while the work I do in the real world it is clear and of course I already have a fixed income. so what I do is do activities in the crypto world without having to leave my work in the real world and the most important thing is of course we must be able to manage time well.

It could be best in your perspective but for me different people have different mentality some want to freedom and chosing own working hours and crypto allow freedom to be own boss and choose own working hours.Crypto is the name of patience if you do it patiently atbone one stage you will realize you earning more than regular job.

I won't even think twice about diving that deep in the cryptocurrencies if I have that descent job .
I mean why do you need to risk it ? When you are already that settled then why do you need to dive into something that risky ? Cryptocurrencies are unsure of , you never know when its gonna boon and when it's gonna go down.
Thank God you got out of that situation without sacrificing your job it would have been so bad if something would have happened 😧
I almost got a zero 😂 in my exam due to this.
Crypto earning is very appealing to those who wants to earn big money so there is no wonder that even people with regular earnings are still magnetized by it. Another thing is that bitcoin and crypto earnings sounds so modern and futuristic especially if you are somewhat "techie" because you will know and understand how the the benefits of it will surely be used in the future. There is nothing wrong with people who have regular jobs already to try crypto earning because it is a good opportunity for them to have another source of income but of it will also require time and effort just like a regular job.

In the OP's case, his time is supposed to be divided between his regular work and crypto earning. It didn't work well for him because he got to focused learning about cryptos. I am a computer engineering student so I know how hard it is to be a coder, designer and etc of a software. In my own opinion, he should not devote too much time in crypto earning especially with his kind of work. He can put effort learning about cryptos but he needs to do it step by step and in free time only.

That really happens when you try to do other things during your work hour. There is no problem doing other things as long as it is outside your job hour. It isbjust like stealing.

if we lose our jobs, it's probably our own fault that can not divide our time. maybe i think so. But everyone is different in his thinking.
