RISE WITH RAYS FOR THE FUTURE
With deep due sense of humor, anyone that does not actually wants to be A full time Bitcoinner as in Trading, Mining or staking, ICO development, Airdrop/Bounties hunting, Web site Designing, and so many others, he should ideally share from your class of thought. But if it is in the other way/angle as highlighted, it worth quiting a job that has no future security if actually you are very specialized or skillful in the various field with adequate level of experience and exposures.

I think that cryptocurrency is a kind of work, in a serious sense. It deserves to be considered and compared to the routine work you are doing or doing. Some people have decided to give up their jobs to take the time to do work in the cryptographic world (including investment / trade, mining or bouties). Everybody has a decision and consider it to choose a suitable type. Because the purpose of the job is to maintain life and accumulate for the future.

Woah you must spent like lots of time in cryptocurrency until you almost lost your job, huh?
But good to know that you choose your job over bitcoin! I'm glad to know there are still people that understand how important real job is, and don't depend theirselves on cryptocurrency as main source of income because as we know, bitcoin is risky, and it's full of uncertainity.
Many people left their real job for bitcoin, that i think is kinda stupid. But everyone has their own choice.
I never experience something like that, since i always prioritize my study rather than bitcoin. And only learn and earn cryptocurrency in my free time so it won't disturb my schedules.
every single people have their own decision.they must think about it repeatedly, not only once.if they consistant with their work in bitcoin or ico project,thats not impossible that will get their success.

I've also experienced this and i thought that i can't manage doing both because regular job and crypto earning is a tough task to handle. Especially when your regular job requires you to work 12 hours a day, it makes me so tired that i even forgot to do my bounty campaign's, my steemit blog and eventually i've my quit my regular job because it was just tiring and im not earning enough ive just focused in crypto right now.

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!


Your experienced remind us that we need to prioritized the most thing that we need in life specially our job. Having a regular job is  more important than to focus in crypto currency that actually we can't get enough profit to survive our daily needs because the profit that can  actually get in crypto currency is depend to the market compare to a job that we can get salary that fixed to sustain our daily needs and to pay our bills.

Nope, in own perception i do not gamble my regular job into cryptocurrency trends noticing that its greater income focusing in digital cryptocurrency, but its not the reason behind that thing because it can be manage properly your regular job and your cryptocurrency life. If you set your goals that you always find extra income in support of your financial needs.

Sometimes at work, it very tempting to do research about crypto and to satisfy our cravings to learn about crypto. However, we know for a fact that we have also deliverables at work because we are paid for it. So what I usually do is I make my daily deliverables and once I have finished everything then I can do some readings about crypto. Making my "to do list" is one way to keep me focus in my regular job. During break time, I can do a bit in crypto then after work.

This is the right way to do it. You should know your priorities because when your main source of income is lost then you will be having a hard time to pay those bills and provide a comfortable life for your family. Cryptocurrency income may be tempting to earn and make it as a main source of income but if your income from it is still not equal or more than your actual income in your regular job then better retain your job and make it a side income until such time you earn higher from it and you can be sure that you can earn it monthly. Good for OP because he is still given a chance to do his job.

Having a stable job is better but having an extra income coming from other sources is also good. I don't think that you can't have a stable job and take up on mining, trading, and doing campaigns. It's just that you need to use your free time and not on your working hours.

Besides that, you are paid during working hours so better do it right and not do extracurricular activities but then if you are done with your job then maybe that's the time you can do something else. As for OP, he stated that he was able to neglect his main job because he is too focused on crypto so he needs time management.

Any time don't give up your job, I premise is to ensure that their own work or to join forces with the encryption, use of spare time to attend the bounty mission, but also some mainstream monetary investment.

The good thing about working outdoors is it takes me away from the urge to research more. But it can still effect my job sometimes when I might stay up all hours researching and then head to work with minimal sleep. It's just trying to find the balance I guess.

That's why you should seperate your job and crypto. If you love your job do it full time and make crypto as a part time. I think your job can't consume your whole day so give your free time in crypto. And yeah i know the feeling and experienced it.
i think manage our time very important for people that doing two job in crypto and their main job.without time management we could not doing task well.both of them give us opportunity and money.so it very unfortunate to pass.

I can happily say that I never experienced anything of that severity, but I can remember how in my early days here trading was a stressful practice. My mood adjusted based on how well I did with trading.

It all comes down to discipline in the end, and as long as you can make sure it won't bother your outside the crypto market performance, you can combine everything without your regular job suffering.

Crypto is new and exciting, and people want to dive into it as soon as possible, which is understandable, but it's not worth going nuts over initially. In most cases it only leads to problems outside the crypto space.

Crypto is here to stay, just like all the market opportunities, so people should just calmly roll themselves into this market. There is no need to rush everything, which will work against you.

This is true, don't forget what is more essential and that was something doesn't fade. As a student I always remind myself to prioritize my studies, put my extra time in this forum when I finished already all the task that I have to do. Prioritize the things that will able to make you successful, yes Bitcoin does but if you are currently working and you have a hectic schedule better to put a little time in here since your reputation in your current job would be at risk.

I have a regular job also but I always make sure to balance my time.It is really very tempting to use phone or computer to check your bitcoin account even in working hours.Thats why I made an actions not to be tempt in it coz I need my job and I dont wanna lose it unless I have another ways to earn money.I make sure i left my phone in my locker so that in working hours I will not be tempted
in using it.I only get my phone in breaktime or after work.Regular job is very important thats why we need to take care of it.Just manage your time so that you will not risk your job.

this is actually a matter of time and your own circumstances. all those who have joined cryptocurrency have never complained with such a small thing, even some of them precisely prioritize crypto itself compared to their regular job due how much more profitable crypto it is but nothing have to changed.
if you are smart in dividing the time then the two things can run simultaneously. as far as I know, cryptocurrency does not drain so much time and energy, I think this mistake is only made up of your own, the lack of flying hours and the knowledge that makes you what it is today. basically the working principle of crypto is to make things easier not the other way around. everybody also knows that in crypto you could access it anywhere anytime , just go manage your time properly from now on.

That's one of my desired position "software developer" but I don't have the guts now to replace my good job by being full time in crypto's.

What's good is I wasn't affected with whatever I do in crypto as I've got a lot of time before, during and after office hours. This is why I like to stay on the both shores because I can do whatever I want but if something goes wrong on my company then I'll do the same thing as yours.

Unless you do crypto for a full time you shouldn't mess with your job. Jobs are harder to find these days...lol. But you've got to have a schedule that you'd follow regularly. Crypto needs so much time, especially when you're into day trading or short-term trading. You may have to monitor the graphs frequently especially when you don't wanna miss out on landmark prices.
