Title: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: nthoangga on October 21, 2013, 05:10:28 PM I'm new to bitcoin so I'm just wondering in this forum there are probably a lot of people who's their main income is from bitcoin business. I'm not talking about student who has a website using bitcoin as their final project, or the pizza guy who accepting bitcoin, or the company making the ASIC mining machine since they are still sell those machine in dollars.
I'm asking if is there any people out there who is mainly making website as using bitcoin as currency, and he only lives off from that? And maybe the bitcoin traders like stock tranders as well? Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: odolvlobo on October 21, 2013, 06:43:56 PM I know of several people (out of the thousands reading this forum) that work full-time on a bitcoin-related business. That's not many, but it will grow. A LocalBitcoins trader might be able to make some decent part-time money, but I doubt there are any full-time exchange traders.
Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: monbux on October 22, 2013, 02:08:27 AM There are some news articles about hobos making some cash on bitcoin.
Most people, myself included, regard bitcoin as not a get quick rich scheme, but more as a way to have fun. As the bitcoin economy expands, perhaps the job market in bitcoin would increase.

Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: nthoangga on October 22, 2013, 05:48:39 AM I am a full time bitcoiner. I have a decent number of them, but I am trying to save them more and more. I actually made a paper wallet for retirement and put as many as I can. I am 23 so I have a while. I am trying to get into bitcoin startups around me, but there are hardly any hiring (NYC). As I am also building new websites, doing business deals. Living off bitcoins is so hard I hate it, I have to plan every moment and dollar I spend. Cause I didn't want to get screwed by exchange rates and rather borrow money from friends than have fiat dollars left over. Could you tell me what is your main bitcoin business? Or you have a lot of multiple bitcoin business at the same time? Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: gweedo on October 22, 2013, 05:55:12 AM I am a full time bitcoiner.

I am currently working on a business now, before this I did freelancing web site making when bitcoin was like $5, now bitcoins are like $170 so because of that raise I was able to just come out of school and do nothing. I also had 2 business that were very niche start accepting bitcoin really early on and I was offered for both of them a good amount of bitcoins so I did sell them.

Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: MakeBelieve on October 22, 2013, 04:35:43 PM As you can see a lot of people who use the site are either developing or in a Bitcoin related company. But considering the amount of people who aren't greatly out weigh the amount who are. But hopefully that will change over time and Bitcoin will become a lot more popular among businesses.

Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: pontiacg5 on October 22, 2013, 06:14:34 PM I would not be able to stand putting my entire life into the hands of bitcoin, I'd be a nervous wreck all the time. What are you totally bitcoin dependent guys going to do if we crash hard? Seems plausible still, though unlikely.
But as bitcoin becomes more and more mainstream it only makes sense that more people "only" work bitcoin. I'd say that's a good thing in the long run :D Title: Re: Bitcoin as main job and income Post by: gweedo on October 22, 2013, 06:26:07 PM I would not be able to stand putting my entire life into the hands of bitcoin, I'd be a nervous wreck all the time.

But as bitcoin becomes more and more mainstream it only makes sense that more people "only" work bitcoin. I'd say that's a good thing in the long run :D It is highly unlikely it will ever go straight down to just $0 or even $less than $50 unless a huge bug was found, which would have probably by now already. But just like any investment you diversify, I own a lot different pretty safe investments. Bitcoin is the most risky of those. If bitcoin crashed I wouldn't be screwed but my future would be rocky for sure.
