BTC as a career? Is this a joke?
As I see BTC as a currency, this makes no sense. Would anyone talk of the US $ as a career?
You can have a career in blockchain technologies, or in services around BTC, but not in BTC by itself.

That is true, not an great idea to choose bitcoin as a career, it is better that we concentrate on our jobs and let bitcoin just be an part time income, it is good to hold good amount of coins in your digital wallet for the future, but making it as a career doesn't sounds great, you cannot invest your time in any currency to make it as your carreer, invest your skills and time in something where you are expert.

What I mean is not bitcoin as currency, but bitcoin-related business, like trading exchange platform, wallet services provider etc. Wink

I guess they are talking about bitcoin world, not on bitcoin role as a currency. Actually there are many more companies that provide their service on bitcoin, than just a blockchain technology.

Pretty obvious if you read the OP, that he was referring to the jobs in the bitcoin ecology that VC investment is pouring into.

According to State of Bitcoin Q2 2015 by Coindesk, VC investment remained robust in Bitcoin industry. More and more people keep entering this field and devote themselves to bitcoin or cryptocurrency world. But why do people consider bitcoin or cryptocurrency as career?
Are they bitcoin fanatics who want to let the whole world know about it and use it? Are they businessmen who are smart enough to make a fortune out of it? Are they revolutionists who want to change the world currency?
Come and share your views on this. It doesn’t have to be your own stories. Some you know or the stories you’ve heard of are just fine.

I choose what can cover my life as career.
Bitcoin means Money, we've got to use money for our life.

So do you trade bitcoin or get paid for working in a bitcoin company ?

In the beginning, more of the fanatics and revolutionists. This is why so many services fucked up in the beginning: there were too many people that didn't have the chops business-wise of technically. Slowly, the professionals are moving in that see an opportunity, and with the influx of money and talent, services are becoming more reliable.

Well really all of the above are the reasons why people are entering the Bitcoin field. All of the above are reasons that us, ordinary people are entering and getting interested by this revolutionary technology as well.

Only difference between us and professionals is that they have something to offer back to the Bitcoin industry, they have knowledge to offer back. Us, ordinary Joe's can offer only the enthusiasm and share to the world so this tech gets adopted as soon as possible.

The bitcoin investing is more like a gamble and hype for VC. Digital currency will be a major technological field in the upcoming years, and VC are investing in that concept.

Simple. Because it's a ground breaking technology and could shift entire industries.
The sonner you are in the bigger your chance off a first mover advantage. Knowledge about crypto will be highly demanded.And the more you know about it the better your chances of having a bright future.

Why do people choose to join Facebook, Google, Twitter etc as their career? Bitcoin is just like a tech start up. I don'#t even think you need to start a business either as you can just invest in bitcoin by owning them and hopefully that will be a great investment in the future. Maybe you could even retire off it so you wont need a career Grin

it's a relatively new project and it open a lot of possibilities

Actually I dont see why people said they working for bitcoin. Imo, we just working like usual jobs in real life. The difference is, you will get bitcoin as payment. If you choose to work in bitcoin related company, then you just work like usual job in IT Company.

Because any great entrepreneur or businessman can see the massive potential for growth in the industry and it's always those with the vision and balls to get in early that reap the rewards. I think in 5 years time those that got into bitcoin now by starting a business will be very rich indeed.

For me personally, it's a great niche market to be in. I equate it to the same as say a doctor -- you can be a general practitioner, or you can specialize in a certain field (heart, lungs, skin, feet, whatever). Guess who gets paid more?

Same with this. I can be a general software developer, or I can specialize in bitcoin and crypto currency. Guess which pays better?
