Bitcoin itself too risky. No I wouldn't quit my preciouss day-job for bitcoin.

with 300$ price, We may still be in a bubble. Who knows? Who can guarantee it won't drop to 100$ tomorrow? Nop, thx.

What do you do for a day job and why does it seem so precious to you? I would jump to btc permanently when I get such an opportunity in the crypto world which gives me more satisfaction than my previous jobs and also aids me financially. I think I am already always planning to make my future ventures integrated with bitcoin, that day isn't so far Smiley

surely those early adopter can quit everything and wait for the price to rise or simply cash out now and be rich already, so it's depend on how many coins you're sitting, and on the future value of bitcoin

someone with 100 btc while not rich yet, he can gamble(not gaming, i mean he can take a bet on his coins) and hope that in 1-2 years bitcoin will be 10k and so he can retire

We always have a choice, but, change everything by bitcoins right now and hard because the currency is not yet in its maturity. In spite of having a good project and attracting good investors, success turns together. As the signature well are very few people who can maintain a good standard of posts, being normal many dream in winning for this kind but eventually turn spammers.

Yes, I do my standard signature posts thrice in a day at organized times to avoid spamming and make sure all posts provide legit information and seem to be relevant. Once you are spammed, you can't even debate about it with any other authority. Most of the times, when you are banned, it is your mistake so you need to own up to it. Earning bitcoins is easy, finding opportunities is hard.

Trading is very risky thing to do, i guess anyone could start to trade, but they would need to give 100% commitment to get educated on the subject, and even the most skillful trader has some losses from time to time. It takes careful planning. 

Trading is something which can be done by your average joe, all it requires is common sense and little technical knowledge, you don't need to go and get a degree for that. I think I have made appropriate amount of money with trading, not really much with mining and the most with gambling. I've also made some money doing little btc tasks but I don't like being paid Satoshi, I want a coin. A btc coin Tongue

Noup, never. Bitcoin is still not a steady currency, but $ and € is.

Earning your life on BTC doesn't mean you're holding it for it to go up and down. And FIAT isint really all that stable either. 15% deviancy in a year isint really what one should call "stable".

Bitcoin is not nearly as steady as USD or EUR. You may not think 15% is steady, but if you think that, then you must think BTC is absurdly unstable.

BTC is not steady as steady as FIAT yet in terms of price, or merchant acceptance. As in, merchants actually have accepted BTC, then chosen not to anymore.

All of this is okay though, I think BTC will prevail. Just a long road ahead.

well lately bitcoin has proven itself to be very stable you can see since the 220 price  was increased only to 300 at best which is 33% increase the double of a standard fiat currency, which is a very good result if you take into account that bitcoin has only a B market cap and it is still very new

You could make 100 posts a day with sig campaign
100 posts a day!!!
It's just spamming the forum and you are most likely going to be banned.

I don't know, Amph post a whole ton and his post quality remain acceptable. Personally i can't keep it up after a few posts i have to take a break or i kind of run out of juice. If i continue i'd just get jaded and my post quality would probably wither away.

There's hundreds of active threads and dozens being created every day. So its not like there's lack of content to comment on or participate in.
I would not say it is equal to spamming at all, but its true not many people can keep up that Job.

I think spam takes place when a person posts too much content in too less time, often on the same thread. That is very unhealthy and not so good for the quality of the posts in the website. Amph makes sure his content is relevant and that is the very reason he is not considered as spam. He has knowledge and uses it properly, so in that case he runs a smooth game and helps people too Smiley

Are you inspired by those bitcoin millionaires? Are you thinking of filing a resignation letter on your day job (if you have any) and focus on bitcoin instead?

Me? I do have a day job and I consider bitcoin as my side job. I don't want to lose that another source of income just because bitcoin is awesome.

So, how exactly do you earn with bitcoin ? Mining or trading ?

Or by posting new threads ?

It would be great to be able to do that but right now it has to keep to the 'hobby' side of things unless I make a mint at which point bye bye work.

Actually I am not working yet still looking. But if i have a job i will assume my job is the first and bitcoin is the second also bitcoin will make my second income.

If I had the chance, and the same payout in btc as now, I would exchange my work and payment to bitcoin for 1 year, no more.

No. I would only quite if I could get a decent paying job in bitcoins, but at the moment I think I would prefer fiat cash as I can just buy bitcoins as and when I want with it any way.
