Topic: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? - page 325. (Read 459239 times)

Personally, I would not quit my day job to go full time on bitcoin.  I get a sense of satisfaction out of my day job but with bitcoin, you will never know.

I have 2 kids now and renting in an apartment. You have a point but somehow we are different. I will not leave my job just because bitcoin is enough to raise my family.

"If you are a family man with kids, you would love to stay home and play with your kids, spend time with them."

- Yeah you are definitley right here but I can spend time with my family even Im working away from home. I only have 8 hours a day in my work and 2 day offs. Working in bitcoins while playing with your kids will just make you work for bitcoin a whole day.

"I remember going to work on a Christmas Eve and New Years Eve that's because my employer did not approve my leave (I worked in a BPO before)"

-This is hard and I understand you. I worked in BPO now but Im on dayshift so it's ok to me.

"Medical benefits? The governments medical benefits is enough but if you will compare with the medical benefits you get for being employed, think again,"

-Bitcoin will never give the medical benefits that government gave. Imagine I have Php150k (around $3,260+) medical allowance now. If you will focus in bitcoin and earn the value of it to Php150k (around $3,260) then suddenly you need it for your medical needs, that savings will just go to your medical spendings unlike if you have your own salary and just let your medical benefits from government to do the medical payments for you.

"Monday to Friday you commute to work and encounter different people and you may get different kinds of virus, but if you stay home, you don't get that much exposure"

- Yes you are right here but Im used to it now. Im immune now hehe. I take vitamins and more importantly my work is just 15 minutes away from my home and if traffic occurs maybe 30-40minutes and that is hard traffic.

"Bonus? Since you are technically self employed you write your own paycheck so you can get your bonus monthly if you want."

- Yeah this is better for self empolyed.

Right again I answered contradict to your sayings because we are different but the bottom line here is I will not leave bitcoin forever. Bitcoin saves my emergency needs because I don't spend too much of it. Our daily spendings came from me and my wife's salary so my bitcoin saving are just in my piggybank lol.

The jobs directly involved with Bitcoin development will require you an engineer degree minimum, so it's a small %.
The rest of the jobs are also coding related, and then trading, not much else.

Anything that doesn't involve coding is basically gambling, not a "true" job, of course skill is needed but it's too unstable.
Signature campaign is obviously not a true job, just for extra earnings. IMO.

No, I would not quit my day job to go full time on bitcoin.  I could make bitcoin my temporary job, but I would not go full time on it. 

It depends:

1) How well your job pays
2) How well your bitcoin income pays

If you are a janitor and open up a bitcoin casino to make million $, then you are only doing good for yourself and losing nothing.

If you are a career person at a company, and you give up your career to manage a bitcoin enterprize, that can be very risky.

leaving your job for for going full time on bitcoin is a very risky decision no matter how long you have been with bitcoin and no matter how much you make you need to have a side income source it can be your job or your money made from bitcoin. iyes there are less jobs available and having a job and keeping it is in itself an achievement. yes keeping striving to become a millionaire from your bitcoin income sources but in future you need to run a family and for that you need something called job.

I think you are still single judging by the way of your reasoning
If my earnings with bitcoin is enough to raise a family, I do this full time and leave my day job. Why? If you are a family man with kids, you would love to stay home and play with your kids, spend time with them. I remember going to work on a Christmas Eve and New Years Eve that's because my employer did not approve my leave (I worked in a BPO before).They are your seatmates and you will have lunch with them. Medical benefits? The governments medical benefits is enough but if you will compare with the medical benefits you get for being employed, think again, Monday to Friday you commute to work and encounter different people and you may get different kinds of virus, but if you stay home, you don't get that much exposure. Bonus? Since you are technically self employed you write your own paycheck so you can get your bonus monthly if you want. Just my opinion

Haha you made me laugh here. We love Christmas Bonus. But much better if Bitcoin will rise high during Christmas season and that is definitely I will called BTC Christmas bonus. Yeah doing bitcoin earnings can't be compared to real life job. Example ,you do bitcoin earnings then suddenly you hospitalized then you don't have those medical benefits that a real life job has, so where you will get funds? In your bitcoin. So you spend all your beloved bitcoin with that. Much better like others saying, treat this a side earnings.

Agree. Bitcoin has no seatmate. Has no eating with your workmates during break. Has no bonus. Has no medical benefits. Has no ... 13th month pay! Christmas bonus.

I dont think I can leave my day job just to concentrate it bitcoins, because I love my day job it makes me who I am.

Rather than quitting in my real job that pays me a decent salary, I will make my bitcoin earnings as a full time job during my day off. Extra income with a blast.

As I still need to support a family, I will continue to work hard with a day job. Nevertheless, I do not mind to go part time on bitcoin.

No, I would not quit my day job to go full time on bitcoin.  I simply love my day job and that's all there is to it.

My earning with Bitcoins helped me with my financial needs but it's not enough to say that I can leave my day job for Bitcoin, maybe not yet. Around 10% to 15% of my financial needs is through the help of my earnings here, the rest is from my day job. So I guess i'm not ready yet to resign

if you want , you can try mining bitcoin, build your own RIG
or you can create new cryptocoin or new service with your skill

At this time, I can't bear to do anything like this. In any case, in 2014, one of my friend quit from his full-time employment, and attempted to begin a Bitcoin-based endeavor to an internet betting website which uses Bitcoins. He requesting that I join him as well, yet I denied the offer as I didn't had enough supports with me. The new full time bitcoiner was a disappointment, within inside of 5-6 months, again he searched for a regular full time job.

Not only you. Most of the people find their current job boring or less paying or stressful. But it's too early to quit a job for bitcoin earning unless you were a early adopters and you have a mass of bitcoins hoarded. A regular and conformed income is must for living. I do not find such a income from bitcoin from my country.

Yes I would do that, I will concentrate in investing in bitcoins because it is simple and less hassle compared to my stressful day job.

Yes I am confident about the bitcoin and I think it is worth it in the end.
And bitcoins will rise up in the future and even now it is already starting.

Probably not. Because I spend so much money for my studies to have that day job and besides I enjoyed it so much so no, but bitcoins very helpful though I still use it.
