Topic: Tending to cryptocurrency. - page 2. (Read 316 times)

My story goes back to around 2016. I recently graduated as an associate in information technology (only 2 years in college). After I graduated, the job was really difficult and I couldn't help my parents with house expenses or debts while I was in college. At that time, I was also searching for an online job, but after a year, I still haven't found it. Then I came across Bitcoin, and you know, the price was too low at the time, and you could earn decent money on it based on my online friends who are currently earning money on it, so I started learning it, mostly for bitcoin, and all my efforts were rewarded. I am starting to earn some money and I would say it is a decent one. 
 
Our life before was really really poor. We were struggling to pay the electric bill and for fast foods or restaurants. Until I graduated, I hadn't tasted it using our own money since birth because it was really expensive to buy. This is really my motivation to learn crypto to make decent money and that could help my life too.
 

I once thought about leaving my job and maximizing the opportunity to 100% focus on the crypto world. Perhaps this idea would be greatly supported if we actually had a way of making 12x more crypto than our monthly salary at a real job. I used to think that mining might help but in the end I had to go to work "for one reason or another" even though right now I can make a few dollars in the crypto space including trading.

The crypto world is full of hope and sometimes it can never work in your favor. There are many things you should consider before leaving your actual job, but it can be difficult to decipher them all because each of us has a different opinion. My advice for you is to work where people respect you, the world of cryptocurrency can enter on the sidelines of your busy life later.

Here is my story.....

I am a secondary school dropout, and my dropping out of school isn't because I wanted to, but it was due to circumstances of life, initially, I wanted to work to enable me raise money for my school fees and other fees involved with schooling and also to take care of my parents and my younger ones, but it didn't work out because at some point, I had to make a decision of either staying in school or leaving school to focus on work, there was no way to stay in school without money, and to get money, I needed to work, so eventually, I gave up school and focused on work, I did all sorts of menial jobs, I did alot of street and traffic hawking, I worked in different factories, life was hard until I found and got into crypto in 2016.

Long story short, I learnt how to invest and trade in crypto, I committed myself to it and by 2018, I had the option of whether to keep working in the factory or quit and start my own business, the factory job was a 6 to 7 and Sunday to Sunday job, it was super stressful and each morning I wake up and remember I have to go to work, I dread and regret my birth, it was hell on earth.
So when the chance for me to quit the factory job came, I grabbed it with both hands, I quit and started my own business with money gotten from crypto...
Crypto has really turned my life around, today, I no longer work for anybody, I no longer hawk or do menial jobs, am a secondary school dropout but I earn money more than most graduates in my country, this is what God did for me through cryptocurrency.

Please note: This is not to encourage anyone to drop their schooling and focus on crypto, grace differs, if you have the opportunity of going to school without having to worry about money issues, please take your study very seriously, I personally still regret not having the opportunity to finish my schooling.

About crypto, of course, there are many things that motivate us to keep learning and learning. Its main purpose may be because cryptocurrencies are valuable and potential assets to own, trade and invest in. But if your motivation is to leave work to focus on crypto, then I think you're really to get in trouble at first.

You may be able to take advantage of market fluctuations to profit from trades, that's never a bad thing. But it's not always profitable especially if you don't understand how it works. So study and find a good interest for yourself in crypto, but try to have a real job too because we never know about the future.

First you should re-evaluate how contributive your services is to the growth of your organization because even if you switch to a new job if your services is not of a substantial value you could still face similar promotion denial or harassment. The current society press toward value added services even in crypto you will still have to devote time to study the market else you will still find it difficult making it in the crypto world

Whatever decisions you make at your workplace, it's all fair to you, considering the negative things that happened to you, harassment and so on.

There are many things that need to be learned about the crypto world, it can be said that it is endless if we want to learn it, For now, crypto has entered the global arena, from villages to cities, from ordinary people to intellectuals.

Of course, if you are interested in learning crypto, take a look below, at least it can provide knowledge.

And try to always be active in this forum as well as learn and ask questions that you do not understand, especially about crypto.

First of all, I'm really sorry your male colleagues are not treating you properly. (Seriously, that happens all the time these days. It sucks.)

Now about cryptocurrencies:

Cryptos by themselves are not going to sustain for you an income source, particularly if you just buy and hold. You'd need an actual job which (i) pays you out in cryptocurrencies and (ii) lets you work remotely [otherwise the above will most likely repeat itself in the new workplace].

(ii) is more straightforward to get done than (i). I've noticed that companies paying in crypto usually don't respond to application emails, to my disappointment.

Alternatively, if you can draw or create art, you could make images or video and sell those as NFTs on OpenSea or the like.

Yea precisely — bitcoin(or any good asset investments in general) should give you a decent boost with your wealth assuming you picked good assets; but they're not what's necessarily going to make you rich. I always make this clear as a lot of people are just betting that bitcoin/crypto is their only way out of poverty/hardships.

I didn't get your point, I think if the @OP has a good skills to become a freelancer, she wouldn't struggle in his current position since she would just quit her jobs and focus on freelance. It doesn't matter she got paid with Bitcoin or fiat, as long as she got paid, then she can live by freelancing. Some people also don't want to get paid in Bitcoin, El Salvador citizens are the example.

Depends entirely what you can offering. If you can do your job, but accept Bitcoin, i.e development work. You could very well be in a better situation to escape inflation. So, while your advice is good, since it probably does apply to most people that are working for other people, if you can work for yourself using your skills, and transfer them to Bitcoin, I'd say you have a better chance of escaping the rat race, due to that inflation.

So, while it still might not make you rich, you're right. You could be in a better position than you were using fiat. Obviously, its not a guarantee as with anything in life.

I feel you and I experienced this before.
Quitting your job is a very simple answer, if there's discrimination that will happen and if you're not happy with your colleagues then, find another job that suits what you want.  We should have a stable job, and a stable source of income because in crypto there's no guarantee that we can able to manage this, plus another factor, is you have a source for your capital upon investment or crypto trading.

Crypto isn't the answer to the financial freedom that you're looking for, the possible profit is too volatile the same as the price of the crypto, and there's no assurance of making you rich.  If you have enough capital, find assets that generate profit, that way, you can stop your work.  But crypto alone will not solve your problem.

Sorry but I discourage you not to do this, just invest in crypto while you're at work, for the long term much better.

It's hard to be a beginner in any business, and it's impossible to know if it's your business or not, if you aspire and want to become a trader, that's always commendable. At the moment there are a lot of manuals, video channels and conferences from professionals who share their knowledge both for free and for a fee to teach - individually! So go for it!

Sorry to burst your bubble and not to discourage you — but chances are, crypto isn't going to make you rich. Unless your goal is to be a good trader, investing in general is mostly not what's going to break you out of poverty(or financial problems in general); having a good job or having a business with good cashflow will.

I'm not surprised if you get a discrimination because you're different among all colleagues especially you're live in a country where the tolerance rate is really bad. I wouldn't comment about it, it's up to you to continue or quit your job, but you need to think how you can earn money without your current job. If you want to make trading as your primary source, you need to make sure you're already good with it. I doubt a newbie can do it for short time learning.

The vast majority are here to make more money. There might be a few that have already achieved enough wealth, and want to contribute to a system, which could potentially either replace our current broken system or be the foundation, and inspiration from future cryptocurrencies. Although, I would say they're thin, and far between.

Ultimately though, Bitcoin allows you not only remove the requirement for any third party, but it also allows you to work remotely much of the time. Especially if trading, but also a lot of what Bitcoin offers is global transactions, without the risk of chargebacks like fiat currencies. So, some will be here to avoid those issues, especially if they can do their job without working for a company, and offer it online.

What are these men who have a negative attitude towards women? Are you sure it's definitely men?

In addition, speaking seriously, there are more motivational posts every day.

But in your first introduction, I saw that you are somewhat familiar with cryptocurrencies. For any person, be it a woman or a man, additional education and constant growth always give only pluses.

We must keep up with the times; otherwise, without developing, you can remain in the Stone Age, where the whole face of a woman is to give birth and raise children.

Do not rate yourself so low. If you are attracted to something modern, feel free to study, and do not let yourself be humiliated. Learning and investing in cryptocurrencies entitles you to become financially independent. After all, sooner or later, most of the world will be in the digital industry. And you can always be in demand by learning all the intricacies of the cryptocurrency market.

I work in a men- dominated office. I dread going to work everyday because I have to face my male colleagues who think because I am a woman, all I need to do is to sit and look pretty.

In my work place, I have a lot of Negative attitude directed towards me from the men, and even though I'm qualified, I have been denied promotion opportunities twice. I have been sexually Harassed by my direct supervisor and boss. The HR has refused to carry out an investigation despite my complaints.

I have a plan to quit my job soon, but getting a new job with this pay is very difficult (I was out of a job for about four years), Hence my motivation for taking cryptocurrency learning more seriously to be able to earn me some level of financial and life freedom.

As a newbie in the space, I'm interested in knowing what your motivation is and why you are taking cryptocurrency learning seriously?
