I most properly would go into some charity work, putting my money into good use for society. Trying to make a difference.
Sweet unrealistic dreams ...

If you can't find a way to be satisfied in a life devoid of work, you're gonna have a real bad time once retirement age rolls around.

What do you think happens at retirement?  Most people get bored and spend their savings away on cruise trips, eating out and drinking wine.  The reason we see a lot of people continuing to work past age 65 because they're afraid of having nothing else to do in their old age.  This is North American society where people only get to see their Grandchildren (if they have any) once a month or every several months (since they are 2000 miles away by plane), instead of everyday like in the European and Asian extended families.

I would find a hobby that makes you money.  That way it doesn't feel like work and you won't be bored..  You can be a professional day trader or a porn star.  

Trading is hard work.

Work you can't be fired from or sweat from.  I think the definition of hard work would be welding a building side, whilst suspended mid-air, or crawling through crawl space and fixing a leaky pipe, whilst waist deep in excrement.

Trading nowadays is all handled by bots and scripts, anyway.

I'd probably build my own lab so that I can put some of my biochem skills to good use.

It depends how rich. Only a million, then I'd probably still work, but if it was multi millions then I'd probably have some fun and travel etc.

I have dreamed about this. I would quick, as in just leave, that day!!
Not working might get boring, so I would maybe do charity work. You need to keep the karma in check.
Ofcourse we are talking about selling the bitcoins right ? Not just holding them, right ? hehe

Studying full time at the moment, but would keep going until I finished. I'd use the excess of my funds (after spending the rest to get myself set up for life, namely clearing debts and buying a house and property outright) to invest in different things and fund the R&D side of a few ideas I have for outside the crypto world.

Wouldn't sit idle, that's for certain.

Honestly, I think everyone reading this who has 3+ BTC should throw caution to the wind, quit their jobs now, default on all their debt and live as cheaply as possible.

I don't know if most people realize, but you're actually serious with that advice...right?  Smiley

Keep it dense, yeah?
I would definitely stay in my job, or possibly pursue something using my newfound wealth. Hoping for dem buy orders to fill so that this can become a reality!

Rather than eating shit, you can start your own business or do freelancing. I am someone who works close to 70 hours a week. But since I do freelancing, I am not complaining about the workload.
