Bitcoin Forum

I have lived most of my life working all day, the only free day I have is on Sundays, whenever I promised my cousins a visit on holidays I always fail, I have no time to go on holidays and I always end up making less money, with all the hard work.

Many people are into crypto for materialistic things, like cars, houses, etc but the best Gift I have attained from Bitcoin investment is free time, to live my life, finally.

Bitcoin investment makes me feel alive once again, after so many years of a nonstop workaholic life, now I have enough time to think, travel, rest, go on holidays, spend time with families and still make more money than I used to when I was a workaholic.

Now I can do everything I have always wanted, time is not on anyone's side and if you spend all your days on some hard jobs working and working you won't notice how fast time is running and you will age so fast in the process.

I remember I got so sick after going from one job to another, I ended up spending a lot of money on my health, I got so thing and my immune system got drained too, you might end up making millions and spending half of that to get back in shape, always remember, health is wealth.

Whatever you do, make sure you live your life like someone who is truly alive and breathing, if you are in any hard jobs that's draining your life away right in front of your eye, you need to put a stop to it.

I want all the good flashy things in life but the best gift I have now is free time, and Bitcoin makes this possible, I don't know about others and I can't talk for others but, to me, Bitcoin is Freedom.

i completely agree

too many people are in the "rat race" scurrying around trying to find scraps to survive on. working extra just to try to get some savings/pension.

in regards to many fiat elitists that have called bitcoin things like rat poison. they are correct too. its a complement. bitcoin kills off the 'rat race' style of economy and lets people have freedom from those rodents trying to nibble at everything you own

bitcoin when bought at the right times can help people sooner, and even if bought at the wrong times can help people later. whereby their reliance on "normal" employment of chasing for wealth endlessly, finds its end by no longer needing to chase it and instead receive it

i too reached that point many years ago where bitcoin gave me freedom so i know exactly how you are feeling right now, where you are coming to that point of now enjoying life

enjoy it

I am happy to hear that investing in Bitcoin has given you the freedom and free time you needed to live your life to the fullest.  It's important to strike a balance between work and play, and Bitcoin could be one way to achieve that balance.
Make sure you take care of yourself and make healthy lifestyle choices to ensure a long and happy life

Take note though — bitcoin isn't the only answer. What specifically gave you time is an extra source of income; which in this case is bitcoin's long-term price appreciation. I personally don't think we should stop at buying bitcoin; try other things like starting an online business and such.

There are lot of things which we do but don't deserve taking much of our time because at the end of the day we only get little or no return from them,so why wasting time on less precious things, one of the reasons I can always go for Bitcoin is because it permits you to always have this time to reposition your life while investing on it, you can invest and left for some years without any dear of Bitcoin missing out, Bitcoin always permits you to have time for proper preparations over other things yet creating it value at maximum always.

Time!
Our most valuable asset.

I am planning after the next halving to be fully free of work, I have been working the
day job for over 25 years and have very little to show for it.

The stars are aligning in my favour with inflation rising and Bitcoin halving approaching.

Bitcoin will gift me Time, I dont care about flashy things, that is for young people who
dont value time like older generations.


Its what Bitcoin can offer and the enlightenment of others
which strengthens Bitcoin
and we all benefit.

I will never quit Bitcoin.

This post reminded me of when I was working as a computer instructor in a computer shop, where I resumed work by 7 a.m. and closed by 5 p.m., and by 6 p.m. I also resumed another shift at another cafe inside a hotel, where I worked as administrator from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. All this stress was just to gather enough money to pay off my bills and leave a comfortable life, which was still not achieved because of the stress, and sometimes for two weeks I would speak with my relatives over the phone because we barely saw each other. But with the help of small freelance jobs I am running online and crypto trading and investment at large, I do what I like at the exact time I want it, I work from home, and even my other side hustles don't stress me at all. Sometimes working very hard with all the stress isn't really worth the earnings, but working smart eventually pays more with lots of comfort as well. 

The value of time is that it is not renewable. If money or bitcoin can be accumulated, then over time this can't be done and it only ends.

Bitcoin saves time like any form of rising asset value, but I don't see that as the main benefit of btc. Whether you have a lot of money, cash or a credit card, you'd say the dollar gives you freedom. Just like you are talking about BTC.

I consider freedom in btcoin the opportunity not to depend on banking or other systems, governments or states, not to depend on one's location and country of residence.

I think almost everyone feels the same way, maybe it's just a different story and the existence of bitcoin can change them for the better financially.
before I got to know bitcoin, I always tried and looked for a side income by doing any job after doing my main job to support my family.
To be honest, before getting to know bitcoin, at that time I was like the backbone of my family and everything I did and I did was to earn extra income. And at that time I was a car wash and at the same time selling cassava chips and other things that I can't mention, I did all that after I got home from work and also on holidays. And it's all just to get extra income that doesn't know time because my salary is less.
and after i was introduced to bitcoin from my friend, everything changed drastically and i just do my job and the rest i can hang out with my friends to have fun. And I can also get married with capital from bitcoin profits, and so on until now my life is very safe and comfortable, especially in financial matters, even the cost of giving birth is also because of bitcoin.

so we are all the luckiest people because we have known bitcoin for a long time and are still experiencing financial difficulties, and I pray that everyone is aware that bitcoin has many good benefits for everyone. And that is if we do it right and also be patient.

Time is most important and valuable thing to help Bitcoin growing more and gaining bigger effects from Lindy effect. A longer on the curve, a more difficult to stop Bitcoin and it will reach to a point from which it will become unstoppable.

I'd like to introduce this article The bullish case for Bitcoin (https://vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-6ecc8bdecc1) and it's available on Amazon as a book in some formats.

If you want to know more about Lindy effect, read it in Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect)

Some people believe that adopting the lifestyle of a workaholic will guarantee wealth, that is a wrong idea. People who invest time endlessly to the growth of a company will still not be retained when they are due for retirement. Time is important and you have to understand that just as you dedicate time to work, you should also dedicate time to learning and seeking valuable information that can help you work less and gain more. You are lucky to have been informed about bitcoin else you would have worked yourself to retirement and at the end have little to show for it in most cases.

It's a great point you've made about free time, op. I keep reminding myself of that as well. That's why I don't overwork myself and try to ensure I spend time with the people I truly care about, doing things together, instead of working even more. And Bitcoin also contributes in a way to that. Thankfully, I currently have the privilege of choosing jobs and activities, focusing on those I enjoy and am most comfortable with. And I completely agree that it's important to have a fulfilling life, otherwise it's useless suffering.

Totally agree with you, BTC is freedom because since I rejected some jobs offer to concentrate on my small scale business and BTC investment has made me to have enough time to plan well and to have good company with my friends that always share BTC ideas together.  I can spend good time with my family members and customers to know more about them and to learn more from them, but if you are under some body or working with company, you have no freedom in your going out and coming.

Many people has loss their life's because they want to become wealthy immediately without waiting for their time to come to plan in a way they will become wealthy easily in the community.  

Yes, I agree that time is the most valuable. But many of us don't use our time well for various reasons. I think it happened to a lot of people including myself. We can't use our time well because we are busy with our business to make money.

And now, with bitcoin, we are free to use our time and can make even more money than others. And by investing in bitcoins, we can slowly have or achieve what we want and soon, we can reach our goals. And those of us who are familiar with bitcoin want to continue investing in it because it has helped us achieve our goals, even if not all of them. And leave it to the people who don't want to move or use bitcoins because they will regret it later.

For transaction processing, market volatility, consensus mechanisms, and smart contracts with cryptocurrencies, time is important. Both purchasing and selling decisions and the speed at which transactions are executed heavily depend on timing. For successful cryptocurrency use and investment, it is crucial to have a solid understanding of time-related issues because time-based algorithms and triggers are frequently used in numerous aspects of the technology.

I don't have enough time cause I am still studying on a univeristy and probably gonna focus on crypto after this degree but I am managing my time right now to balance it somehow. Hoping to become successful!

On my first big vacation with a visit to more than 5 countries in a year, I also went thanks to cryptocurrency, for a fairly long period of time I saved money and refused a lot of things because I worked a lot.One day I got tired of everything, I quit and went traveling.I converted part of the cryptocurrency into cash and spent it with great pleasure.To everyone who works hard and dreams of a vacation,I wish to do the same, live first of all for yourself.

That's true that time is one of the most valuable things in the world, it is limited every day hence, it's scarce. I have nothing against those that are in the corporate world since we're just the same and there are people that are forced to stay in their jobs because that's what they think is best for them and there's job security that they really like to have. They choose needs over other things such as giving themselves free time for many other things like their family since in the first place, they're doing it all for their family. Having bitcoin as an investment and earning from it, really is a life saver that has given a lot of folks more time to themselves and to their families but not all do have the same experience.

Freedom they say is life, when your free as bird, you begin to see life on different perspective.   bitcoin avails you that of opportunity of financial freedom.
 You choosed the right part by making bitcoin the part way to your financial freedom, I mostly do educate those around me about BTC and it's benefit whenever I have the opportunity.

Every time I reflect on my experience with bitcoin so far, I feel grateful for everything.

In the past, when I was working for a company, I was so busy from Monday through Saturday that I had no time to attend social events, see friends, or even take care of personal matters that even required my presence. I don't even have time to enjoy the salary I receive at the end of the month as I devote all of my time to my job. I left the work because it felt like I was being imprisoned in one place, unable to explore other positive aspects of life.

Honestly, being your own kind of boss and having time for yourself, though, are the sweetest things in life. I feel good knowing that one of many who received freedom

Well, in reality that is possible before 2008 and after, bitcoin has not changed the expectations of living better, it is a wrong approach at least in the bitcoin discussion.

I must say that you are lucky if Bitcoin gives you the freedom you desire, which you are enjoying, as are most people in the forum who are heavily into Bitcoin investment and tech. I simply observe that people have different mentalities in various aspects of life, particularly in the work or job aspect. Some people don't like the easy job; perhaps they don't believe it works. They just endure or perhaps even enjoy being busy throughout the week and having less time for themselves and their families. I know of a freelancer guy in my area; he sells some products online and also connects buyers to other vendors, and this guy is making a big figure every month ($2k in some months). He stays at home all day, having all the time he desires for himself and his loved ones.

Some people are still in the workaholic race, doing their best and putting in a lot of effort to put food on the table and meet other needs, but they don't have enough time for other things that are equally important; if they consider other possible means that can give them free time while the income is still coming in, they will definitely have the free time. But f*ck it, someone has to do the dirty work; someone has to be that hardworking employee who helps another man's company earn more; let it not just be me, who is at least exposed to a few of the internet earning opportunities, as well as my furniture and upholstery company.

IMO, people who are into Bitcoin investment, freelancing, paid advertising, stock investment, real estate investment, gold investment, oil and gas investment, and also people who own large businesses and have employees would have plenty of time to spend and think clearly, but you are fortunate that Bitcoin saved you and made you feel alive once more. 

When it comes to money making opportunity then Bitcoin or crypto as a whole could really give out that kind of chance for someone to be able to acquire or achieve but not all do ends up on the same fate on

which if there are winners/profitable investors or traders out there, in exchange there would be losers on the other side of the market which means that you are really just that able to make yourself

that wise in regarding into your investment.If you do see that it is really that worth more than or comparing into your previous job or dealing then it would
be sensible on focusing into it.

The main purpose of bitcoin is freedom. And your story is just an example of many others out there. I myself also have many stories like this. But the fact that our country banned Bitcoin is one of many sad sides that, I can't use it freely as anyone would have wished for. But still I am able to enjoy this life and freedom that Bitcoin has given me. And I am thankful for this. One day everyone will understand what Bitcoin truly holds for them.

We live in a time when people value money over their health, which is not normal. People tend not to live healthy lives as a result of their pursuit of wealth, creating the appearance of a competitive world in which the one with the most wealth is seen as having a better life. To some extent, that may be true as the rest of the world perceives it, but one's health should not be traded for anything else.

I've seen people willing to sacrifice (sell) a part of their body in order to become wealthy (I'm not talking about ritual), because they've worked a series of jobs with nothing to show for it at the end. They give up and will go to any length to become wealthy. Bitcoin investment is a way to have valuable time for ourselves, family, and health; its purpose is to be appreciated in this aspect.

To be honest, this is something that happens very often in this world, how a person works very busy every day to make a living for his family. But sometimes they don't have enough time to be with their loved ones at home. Don't you have an appointment with your cousins, there are many parents, especially fathers, who don't have time to play with their children, or just to pick up their children from school, which can actually make a happy moment. sometimes life is very difficult and there must be a choice. sometimes they are forced because in order to finance family life. But there are also those who just let it go without caring about the family, only focusing on providing a living in the form of money to meet their needs. So, this is where time management is important. When at least the parents set aside a little time to play with the family, this will be quite enough, because the children will also feel that they understand the situation of their parents. However, at least a little of that time becomes family quality time which is very useful.

But indeed yes, financial freedom with Bitcoin or crypto business really has an impact. In this case I really feel it. When I focus on working in the crypto world and no longer work offline, I have a lot of time to be with my family. I have a lot of time to know the growth and development of my children. And this is an invaluable thing.

Time is so valuable, that’s why we have to live it productively and on our own advantage. And over hardworking will not make it happen. It will only make our life tiring and become stressful instead. That was me years ago, but bitcoin changed my life. Now, I don’t have to struggle to spend quality time with my family since I am already working at the comfort of my home. With bitcoin, you can be your own boss, and you can have all the opportunities to do what makes you happy, and that is to enjoy most of my time spending with my family while making a living.

This used to be a normal thing to many of us here. Overwork ourselves with the compensation we got that are sometimes not enough with the time we spend on working. This results in doing other jobs which makes us overwork and take a toll in our body, physically, mentally and spirituality. I've been on this kind of situation before and I know how frustrating to not have enough time to spend on yourself and family. This is one advantage of bitcoin and overall crypto, It personally gave me a power to have a financial freedom and to let lose of other jobs that I need to cope up with living. Time is really a valuable thing that we can't reverse. My personal goal is to be a person who will not rely on a job just to live when I reached a certain age, The financial support that I can think off all the time is doing crypto.

There is a popular saying which implies that time is money, so for every time you spend on useless resources, I guess you are wasting all the opportunity that you would gotten to gathered all your riches. Working overtime over strenuous works with little pay is just like a normal trend in my country because of the high rate of corruption and hardship over here. I mean, I was literary working my ass out during my days in the university but and still couldn't meet up because of the break down I had over these strenuous works. I had to work at least three job for me to able to meet up my needs which cause me great loss of time.

Bitcoin can be freedom to any individuals depending on your area of understanding Bitcoin, in aspect of trading or long term investment Bitcoin is partially a freedom, but for it requires time for someone who is investing with Bitcoin in any parts of the investment, because for your Bitcoin investment to be positive for you, you have to devote out time, Bitcoin can be said to be freedom because it will give you time to participate or engage in anything you want, but it also need attention before it will venture into Lost during the process of investment.

I don't think Bitcoin will save the day either. Workaholics might have the notion of putting in more effort to make good success which most times turns out 70% negative. But for a Bitcoin elite it will take a long time to make good profit holding except for the pro traders who make regular profit and those privileged to invest when the bulls are in charge . In as much as i don't buy the idea of workaholics since they give in more and get less in return. I also don't buy the idea of relying on Bitcoin as the main source of income to a point it secure my immediate and future need. Bitcoin is too volatile to be trusted. I rather diversify my source of income so that when Bitcoin starts becoming complex to profit from my panic level won't be on the rise.

Time is indeed money but it would really be depending on how you do make use of it as efficient as possible on where success would really be depending on how you do work hard and how you do make most of it.

Some people do succeed and some people do fail but still trying out their best to sustain and some are just simply sitting and doing nothing and this is why we could really see different scenario if we do speak

about certain conditions of certain people when it comes to money or financial condition.You should make use of your time as efficient as possible and something
that is productive.We do know that we are living on a world where inflation and recessions is something inevitable.

I'm glad to hear from you because now you are happy since you know bitcoin, and bitcoin gives you freedom in everything.
indeed bitcoin is very much beneficial to people who are interested in investing in it.
for example like yourself, because now you are happy, because you have invested in bitcoin. and make a lot of money.

indeed the freedom and comfort that bitcoin always provides to people who invest in bitcoin, but this does not apply to people who have no knowledge in terms of investing in bitcoin, and usually people who lack knowledge, will definitely not feel free, instead will get panic, which is like fear of falling prices and so on.
but for people who already have knowledge about bitcoin investment, they will definitely get freedom.
so you are a lucky person because you can have freedom.

I wish this could be done easier than you said it, because a lot of people are actually trapped into it. A lot of people were working underpaid, only the employers became very very rich each and every year passed.
It's even funny to think that most of the employers here in my country are increasing their targets and adding a lot of workload eventually and then there's not even a single increase of pay.
I find it lucky for those people who have found their financial freedom through Bitcoin, but I pity those who don't and still struggling to pay even for the basic needs.

for me bitcoin is a side job, and i choose to focus on the real world in business. because in my opinion we shouldn't rely too much on bitcoin because we won't know the price of bitcoin in the future, so it has to be balanced in business, that is, it has to be online and offline.

because after all bitcoin investment still carries a risk.
but this is in my opinion.

Reaching financial independence is not easy and to do so in a way that leaves you a lot of free time is even harder, but I agree with the OP that should be the goal.

And this is because at some point you will reach the conclusion that regardless of the material possessions you may get the only thing you can never get back is your time, so it is better to downsize our workload even if this means a reduced income as well, as this can translate in more time for ourselves and more time we can spend with our loved ones.

Although my financial situation has improved, I am where I am today largely by investing in bitcoin. But I agree with you that, we should not depend entirely on bitcoin, it should just be a side job, a side income. We need to focus and build ourselves a real job outside to ensure the future.
Bitcoin is being considered a financial revolution, but alongside that potential are unpredictable risks. So don't rely solely on it for financial freedom and have backup plans in place.

Investing in bitcoin means we plan to create a future that gives us freedom in many ways.
Investing in bitcoins, especially if you can own a lot of them, can give you the opportunity to make money selling those bitcoins when the price is high.
We can have a lot of money that we can use for the next few months plus we can also invest in bitcoin again when the price decreases and reaches a low price.
Many people have proven it but unfortunately, we are still trying to collect more bitcoins so that we can achieve that freedom and I believe it is only a matter of time.
And if we use bitcoins as part-time jobs, if we can have more bitcoins and sell them during the bull run, maybe we'll focus more on collecting more bitcoins.

Bitcoin investment truly give use free time especially for those that are for long time Bitcoin investment, we don't need much work and hard work to make profits from it. Op but I am also into crypto for profit so I can get myself better things I need in life.

That might depend on how much money you have earned  through Bitcoin or have. but you still need to work and earn more money to keep your account growing; otherwise, you might find your account empty one day. As for me, I must work every day to meet my daily needs. Because the situation in my country is not as it should be, I need to feel connected to my family. However, because we need more free time at that old age most, so I currently need to work harder and make some preparations so that I will find it simple then.

Yes in some situations you need to stop jobs that frustrate your life at all times, I can't even do a jobs that consume all my time without me having time for myself to think and plan in others away. So everyone need enough time to think if through he/she want to excel in life,jobs without no time easily damaged life.

If you understand bitcoin and knows how to invest profitably into it then yes its a big source of passive income. Unfortunately I am not free to invest in bitcoin as my government (Pakistan) has banned it completely. Having said that it doesn't mean we cant get rich by other means. There are trading like stock exchange where you can effectively trade and get rich.
The main aim is to live a healthy life and for that we need money. Jobs defiantly take lots of your time and you don't have time left for yourself nor for your family.   

Time is a gift. As a matter of fact, it is the costliest gift ever. It can never be recovered as it was spent extravagantly.  Our lives never stop or slow down for time, therefore use it well and use it wisely. Personally one of the best uses of my time is its investment in acquiring knowledge about Bitcoin and the Bitcoin ecosystem. Truth be told I have gotten massive return on investment in it.

I have also been in this kind of condition just like how op explained it. I have worked in many factories when I was younger and still growing. I am very lucky that I was able to ask myself questions of what will be the outcome of working so hard with minimal wages that can't even feed a bird to satisfaction. I took a step that changes my life till today. Many persons are in there current conditions because they are scared of Change of starting a new path.

I quit my job and start a new life which made me start suffering again. It was also like dying because my friends were asking me why I quit my job and start learning one or two things from the crypto market.

The path I choosed was very tough for me but I kept because I was convinced that I am heading to a better place. I am very happy for where I am now and I know I am going to further by the grace of God. Making the right decision cam save us from lots of stress and suffering. Thank God for Bitcoin and the growth of the cryptocurrency market.

The decision we take now can save us from plenty of stress tomorrow if we never look back and we keeping going. Learnt so many things then which had been helping me today life a man that is preparing for random opportunities.

Yes, find a way to create profit and don't wait for profit to come. Some people were blinded by the impression this industry has created which pushed them to rely that much into this technology. Well, ofcourse it would be an advantage being able to invest in cryptocurrencies since not all countries allow such thing. But that should not limit them into one basket alone. There are alternatives in which an investor could make use of especially if this industry does not work the way he/she wants it to. In the first place, you have to invest on knowledge for crypto investment to work well such as with Bitcoin investment. Every investment has different behavior and you as an investor, if you're really into investing, have to find your 'zone'.
What will matter in life is how you will act upon a problem you encounter. A job is necessary and if it stresses you out you are free to leave but do not let that thing to stop you from achieving things. Also, make a plan on your next action to avoid making situations worse. You are not required to chain yourself into one job. Who knows ; what if you are better with starting a business or engaging to investments. You just jave to figure it out to be able to create a better future.

As I understand this, you invested your money in bitcoin and because of high return on investment in bitcoin you do not have to do any other work and therefore you have a lot of free time. Is it as I am thinking?

I guess you are lucky in a way that you had money for investment while there are people who still have to earn money in order to buy bitcoin. Anyways I agree that having bitcoin save you from inflation and your  finicial future is secure.

Indeed TIME is the most valuable thing, and there are many reasons why it could be utilized in different ways. Because if you are interested in having the best time of your life, you need to value time and have money for it, which is what we would exchange to get money. 

Since Bitcoin = Money (an asset to be exchanged for goods and services), you would say that Time=Bitcoin as well, and if you have Bitcoin and you have a lot of it, you can have a higher return on your investment in the long run, you have to be patient about it and never give up.

I'm happy for you, OP, that you have realized something like that, and I hope you continue to prosper.

Time is money and money is freedom!! The great thing about Bitcoin is the sheer freedom to do with your money as you please. I’m my current position I was laid off from my job. I am reassured because of Bitcoin that everything will be fine no matter what. In fact not having my job right now is making me realize so much how my time is so valuable. The time I’ve been able to spend with my family and to go about my day at my own leisure is truly a privilege to few, certainly not the working class. Although I have a cushion it won’t last forever, but in a sense it is very nice to be able to buy some time so to speak. Whilst I wait for unemployment to kick in while I search for a new job, or better yet create my own.

You are right. We often don't realize that we have been given precious time to spend on our family and enjoy it. But most people don't think it's a gift because they are still thinking about how to increase their wealth even though if they think about themselves where they are still healthy, it is priceless wealth. With our health, we can continue to try to make money; if we already have money, we use it for the happiness of our family. And if we can use it for our family, maybe that means we can balance this life between work, dividing time, and enjoying life. The important thing is we must balance our life.

The OP narrative resonates so much with me. It is the rat race which Robert Kiyosaki described in his book- Rich Dad, Poor Dad. You spend your time working for someone else, you don't even know when your toddler goes from kindergarten to college. You miss their games, their graduation and other very special events. You come home very exhausted and can't even catch up with your kids. The next day, you repeat. Very sad.

Bitcoin gives you freedom and time. But they come with a huge responsibility. It is just like being self-employed. One small mistake can make you bankrupt and have you back on the street, job hunting or calling recruiters. This is what I always carry at the back of my mind every day.

You are right when you say that bitcoin is freedom. Number one is because it is decentralized and Number two is because it can provide us a passive income through long term investing but even if you are trading using a Bitcoin, you can still use a trading bot to automate your trade so that you can still do other things in your life.

I think before we decide to depend our life in Bitcoins alone, it will be better to save up a good amount of money first so that whatever happens to the Bitcoin market, you will not worry too much and you won't ended up selling at a loss. What you will do instead, is you will only use the money that you set aside.

Time is the only asset we really can't afford to lose, strongly agreed.

The bitcoin price will rise in the long-term, I don't have much doubt about that. But bitcoin is only a small part of your life. Time is most previous asset you have, and the only that you're forced to invest it somewhere. Don't be reckless with it. Learn stuff, be professional at something you love, meet new people, spend time with the family. Figure out what makes you happy.

I think you can if you really want to. I made bitcoin my full time job, from working and earning a salary in the bitcoin world, to signature campaigns here, to even made my own token once in the past as well, didn't do so well, I broke even finally after a long time but that was really the whole thing and I can't really talk about how important or significant bitcoin is to my life.

I make zero dollars out of crypto ecosystem, all of my income came from bitcoin and other coins, from trading or earning but it was all from crypto. You can make it a sidejob if you want to, that is up to you and if you want to see it that way then by all means do that, I won't.

Living a life on the way you do love or how it should be would be the most greatest thing to be experienced but we do see that majority of us or people would really be just
focusing on how to make money and they are already that forgetting the basic concepts in life which majority is been lacking about socialism with other people or even having
that ample time for your family or loved on bondings which is something that could be cherish out on your entire life.Yes, its understandable that money does play
a huge role but dont make it as your center of focus or goal because money cant buy happiness or the contentment inside.

Yes, this is Bitcoin and its industry and investment that made us feel alive, and gave us a lot of free time that we use in learning and gaining experience and in our life matters, and after that we make good profits that we almost miss in our hard work that wasted our time in vain, investing in Bitcoin is the best way to generate good returns, as it is digital gold indisputably, but without being a workaholic, you can have a stable job to get monthly salaries from, so you should also put negative possibilities without relying entirely on a bitcoin investment, yes, invest in bitcoins and spend your time and enjoy your life, but you must have a source Passive income in addition to this investment, because Bitcoin, like any currency, is subject to sharp price volatility.

Free time to do anything one wants without having to follow someone else's orders is the best gift a person can give himself. Regrettably, people consistently believe that in order to succeed in life, they must engage in a variety of activities (which is indirectly making them less available).
Recent development around the globe has shown that human beings can be rich and successful in the comfort of their homes.

Thanks to bitcoin for making many realize that they can be whatever they want to be without being a workaholic that will end up having nothing to their names

Bitcoin offers multiple forms of freedom. Financial, Freedom from the vicious rat race insinuated by the corporate world and the society that compels you to stick yourself into it, among others. I too have been a corporate slave for a good 2 years of my life, until my friends told me about the existence of stocks, bonds, and then cryptocurrency. I got attached quite quickly with cryptocurrency due its non-discriminative nature and the ease of access it offers unlike stocks and bonds investment. I really felt alive for once when I got that first fat paycheck and said to myself that I'd do myself to build a reputation and retain this form of lifestyle. You can say that we share the same sentiments about bitcoin, especially when it comes to the discussion of how it freed us from the shackles we were once tied down from.

The most valuable resource for a trader or investor is time since they spend every minute of that time to conduct in-depth research to determine which projects are currently going well and how to benefit from them. Success is everyone's ultimate objective in life, so we must fulfill the expectations placed on us in order to begin grinning when we begin to reap enormous rewards for the labor of our hands. This area focuses less on hard labor and more on the worthwhile projects that are accessible and the daily progress you are making, which makes the process easier for you. Bitcoin aides also in making everything simpler and easier because of the high volatility of the market.

People who can accept new things and are willing to learn to use them will definitely be able to see the potential benefits of crypto and quickly find out how to get more of these coins and what they need to invest. And bitcoin has made that offer to many people but unfortunately, not many people want to accept it and even they are sceptical and think it will only be a scam. Those who say that bitcoin is a scam are because they have joined the wrong program, which has caused them to lose a lot of money. But people who already feel the benefits of crypto will look for ways to have more potential coins as their investment.

I used to be in that hard job condition for years, and I must say that period was the worst phase of my life, I was working as a company driver and I have to work from 9 to 5 and yet have nothing to show for it unless the long face of stress I was always wearing due to over working.

But then I got introduced to bitcoin thank goodness I picked interest in it, and I cleared all my savings to invest in Bitcoin, and after a while, my investment started yielding interest and in my quest to sustain my investment I hard to look for knowledge and that brought me to bitcointalk which have become my number source of education and also motivations.

Finally, I was able to attain financial stability in January this year and when I was sure that I have a working source of income,  I have to resign and concentrate on my personal development and since then my health and family life has improved significantly.

Bitcoin not only gives people financial freedom it also gives people great freedom of time. A jobber may earn some money but he has to spend a certain amount of time every day. As a result, if he wants to do something according to his wishes, he fails most of the time. He cannot give that time to his family even if he wants to. Besides, he naturally doesn't want to do anything on weekends. Thus he spends most of his life. But once a day that smiling face will be seen by those who dream of Bitcoin. The great thing is that by keeping it under your control, you can spend your time doing other things. Those who planted the Bitcoin seedling 10 years ago may have become completely independent of time and money today.

If people only know how great it is to spend your time doing want really benefits you instead of benefiting others even though it's not right for you, they will do less work and focus to chase that free time that they really wanted. Happiness is our goal and it's not always with money and time just walking around and experiencing some new adventure is what we are looking for. Also, I have experienced these kinds of scenarios once in my life when I don't have any money with me. I am really thankful that I found this community that thought me to be financially free and to live my life without any boss to tell me when to wake up in the morning and that alone is a big thing to thank God for.

Indeed, time can not get back. But we can always make it up now like having a good time for your ownself and wspent it well with your family. I, myself realize to focus on myself (probably health and happiness) rather than working so hard not to notice the failure we have in our family, etc. Also, it is best to balance the time we have while earning, its hard but if we used to balance everything like doing some crypto trades while enjoying spending time with your family and friends, isn't priceless?

    I can only say that Bitcoin helps a lot in life at least in terms of financially, almost Bitcoin is what God used to contribute to me to provide

for all my daily expenses of my life and this too the reason why I continue to stay in this industry. So you said well op that bitcoin has given you a big contribution in your life now somehow.

I am a bit confused about what you are getting at, In my bolded part of your comment, you are claiming that even though"Happiness is your goal but it is not always about money" and in the same breath you claim "I am really thankful that I found this community that thought me to be financially free and to live my life without any boss to tell me when to wake up in the morning and that alone is a big thing to thank God for." It does seem to me that you do need money to live that boss life you like.
I understand this cos I am currently not employed for a number of years now but have been able to sustain myself and my family from Bitcoin profits over the years and can also confirm the plenty of free time 8) however, I don't think we should leave it at that level instead of investing on other layers of revenue generation even if you no longer want to be an employee. 

Well we can't argue with that TIME is the most valuable thing but other's can't see it or appreciate it.
Without time those money that we earn are just for bills and we can't enjoy our life.
Crypto has given us a chance to earn on our own, to make money on our own time our own schedule.

Time is one of the most important thing in peoples lives. This is one of the thing we cant bring back. Yes we can take a picture and have a throwback about what happen during that time but the feeling you have that time is different. As we grow older, we start realizing the important of time in our life. For example there are some instances that we can say, Why didn't I try that when I was that young and have the ability to do it. All we can do is to regret and have what ifs in our life. We should cherish and used more our time on valuable things where you and the people you love or surrounds you will benefit. Right now I'm focusing on having more quality time with my family. While Hustling for my future I don't forget to have bonding time with them during weekends to catch up on everyone in the fam.

We're almost had a same situation. The only difference with me is that, I realized earlier that working 9-5 will not make me rich. I realized that working as an employee will not make me rich. I realized it when I graduated from college that I don't see myself working with other people. I want to work with my own terms. I want to work whenever I wanted to do.

Like you, Bitcoin is also the main reason why I'm living the life that I wanted now. Yes there are some goals that are still unachieved yet, but the fact that I'm working whenever I want to work is one of the best decisions I've done. You know what's the best thing that a person can achieve? Working with your own terms while earning more than enough for your monthly needs. Doing what you want to do while earning still.

This post has been posted a few weeks ago, but still, I'm grateful that you shared your experience. I have now a reason why I still need to continue what I'm doing right now. Health is wealth indeed so choose a work that will not make you stress that much because stress decreases the life span of a person (don't know if this is true :D).

As for the people who are currently on the "rat race", as much as possible try to learn a skill that will help you find a job online. The pandemic has made people realize that people can still work even though they are still on their home. This isn't only with Bitcoin, but having a work that you are doing on your home equals more time with your family. :)

While material possessions may bring temporary happiness, having the time and freedom to do the things you love and spend time with loved ones is truly priceless.

to prioritize your health and well-being, as this is the foundation for living a fulfilling life, thus Bitcoin and other forms of investment can provide financial freedom to buy us some time to ourselves, but the emphasis is not on Bitcoin alone, But Prudent investments across board.

Freedom is the most important thing for humans, along with the progress of the times forcing all mankind to continue to be faced with ambitions for the needs of their lives, especially regarding assets that are owned in whatever form, and without realizing it we have entered into a circle of bitcoin ambitions and are complacent  with what Bitcoin has provided for all these people, there will be no freedom that you have as long as you are still busy looking for additional assets in the digital world, if we are willing to force ourselves to leave our job for the sake of family..

Mental health too is very important, working in a toxic environment has caused alot. I was working in a toxic environment, I had to resign for my sanity sake.
No matter how busy we are, we should create time for our love ones before it's too late.

This is one of the best posts I have read here on the forum. I agree that bitcoin is freedom. Aside from being married, I want to believe that bitcoin investment slows down once pace in life, it helps you breathe, smell the flowers, and above all improves your metal wellbeing. Becasue you have no worry and fear. In short with bitcoin investment, you would have escaped the rat race of life.


I always play the scenario in my head where I am lying on my death bed at a very old age and then full of regrets becasue I never really lived. I didn't have fun. That I gave up life, freedom, peace and family for a job. Because I wanted to acquire the whole world but then lost myself.

Yes, Bitcoin is freedom but it is freedom that comes with huge responsibility.

Of course Brother I can agree with you. And Your story is kinda same to me.
I have worked hard from 2017 till now and I am doing my hard work and doing and doing. I got Frustrated over time and lost hope too. But still here I am writing To you and that's because I worked hard and I believed in Bitcoin and also crypto and that's my future and those people who believe in Bitcoin and crypto and Their upcoming Future.

I agree.

Bitcoin really helped me a lot and still helping me for my financial needs. It teaches us to money work for us and not us to work for money. Being employed working 8 hours a day with only an average salary while always going home drained, stressed, and lonely, is not even worth it. That's why I chose not to be employed, there's a lot of opportunities to earn money in a way you hold your own time, you dictate when to work and when to rest, and that's the best feeling ever.

If you are a business person, who likes to invest, you can easily find the idea of ​​using money to create money without having to be bitcoin to have that ability. In addition, there is no guarantee that you will always make a profit in investing, so comparing an investment with a job is unreasonable. I don't think someone just invests in bitcoin without a job and says he's fine with his day-to-day life.

It's really a bad idea if you just spend most of your time and assets investing in bitcoin and do nothing but wait for the bitcoin investment to make a profit. Unless you are earning income from day trading, it's a different story.

Time is definitely a precious resource.  And the time they can use properly they are the real gainers. And to become rich a person must be time wise and work hard but without working hard for cryptocurrencies one can make a perfect use of time by investing in bitcoin or other cryptos to get huge gains. Like Bitcoin is now very deep from ATH so if one invests in Bitcoin now and hold long time he will get huge profit in future days but if one miss this time then the time will never come back. So it must be accepted that time is a must value which we must use properly to get success

Many people are successful today they are always busy with their respective jobs so there is no time to vacation or enjoy happiness with family, so all of that is certainly not what we want because the time that has passed we cannot turn back, so now we have to find a job that we can enjoy all the things we want without having to leave our family and loved ones, So we can indeed rely on the crypto world because wherever we are but investment can always run well, so the time we go through now we must use it well without having to focus on something.

And anyway you spend your time. And main question is if you feel satisfied with that spending or not. There's no way of not spending the time and we can just choose on what will we spend it. Until bitcoin stays interesting to us why not to spend some time for it? But if to spend time just for earning more and more money... then when we'll start living? So it is important to choose not only when to work but to choose which work makes us feel better and not drives into depression. If we choose how to spend time wisely even job can keep us positive.

Time is very precious so many intelligent people always make the best use of time, we all of course always work to meet the needs of life but the time we spend on family is very little so that the happiness we feel today cannot be achieved, then we must get a job that we can use in all aspects and the crypto world is one solution, Because wherever we feel monitoring can always be done so we can use the time for all the needs in our lives, we all want to get freedom but our income continues to flow, so investing in the crypto world I think can be a good solution.

But there is still a risk in investing, especially as bitcoin and altcoins are high risk investments. There is no guarantee that investing in cryptocurrency will definitely make us rich and can save more time to rest. If things were that easy, there would be no poor people in this world, and we wouldn't have to work so hard to earn money.

Time is a precious resources,when people work with time then you will time is important, work accurate with time,read without a play make jack a dull boy, anything you do you work with time, if someone invest in Bitcoin in right time, you will see what the person will gain.no matter what or how busy you are,make up time for yourself work with time,make time your,you will see the value of time,big people,big business mens, politicians they work with time, time is the most thing we have to maintain, let do the  right thing at the right time.

I absolutely agree with what you said. Furthermore,  in my opinion you cannot be rich if you work as an employee from 8h to 17h, maybe you would be financially stable but not wealthy and unfortunately it might negatively affect on your health. In addition to that,  you don't need to follow and give attention to the sheep ( materialistic people ) who love flexing to others , always focus on yourself and family.
We should be grateful to have Bitcoin in this era, it is literally helping us to achieve our goals. The more money you invest in BTC , the bigger profit you get but in long term .

There is nothing compared to the peace you enjoy when you are your Boss because you can adjust any task to suit your availability. Though I won't say Bitcoin investment is work free but can't be compared to a regular job.

It will not be possible to explain in two words about the importance and necessity of Bitcoin in general terms. If I describe the importance of Bitcoin in the context of my country, then one thing I want to bring first is inflation in our country. The value of paper money in our country is always going down according to the value of the dollar, so the price of daily necessities is constantly increasing. If we convert our paper money to bitcoins then the value of bitcoins will increase relative to the dollar and we will reduce the inflation of paper money to a large extent. Moreover, the amount of interest given by depositing money in the bank in our country, if you invest in Bitcoin, you will get ten times more interest/profit than that. However, the investment must be made entirely in Bitcoins and stored in a trusted hardware wallet.

Investing is definitely risky be it in crypto or any physical business or gambling. Because nothing will guarantee you a profit.  If you are investing in crypto then you need to invest with a proper analysis and it should be long term then you will be able to be profiy from here. If you are thinking about investing in a physical business, then in this case you have to establish your business first, then gain potential customers and then you can expect profit. And on the other hand if you think of gambling it can make you rich in a very short time but it depends a lot on your luck and your correct predictions. And all this you have to do within a certain time so it is definitely true that time is a valuable thing

Focusing on time over money is the key route to a successful investment, aside cryptocurrency, for people to escape the rat race they'll need to save more time than money. Emphasizing that investment is risky, is an attribute for people who don't want to lose money. If a person is determined to lose money and save time they won't worry about investment risks. Think of it, they is more money in the world than time, which remains a reason for time management. It's better to throw a few thousands on ad today than storing them in the bank. It doesn't help the business in any means. Cryptocurrency is risky especially bitcoin, but the profits it yields comes in multiple folds. The money kept in the bank is not gaining much interests compared to what bitcoin rewards its investors. Hence, while in business, the riskiest move is poor time management, as money cannot finish but time does finish and it'll never return.

BTC investment cannot be compared with a regular job because it should not be taken to be a job, i don't think people who buy stocks, bonds and gold take it to be their regular job, and all of these are investment options like BTC. Maybe for people who mined BTC in the eary days when it was cheap and have a lot of it now that it is worth so much, they may not have to do any regular job now and just continue to enjoy the returns from their coins, but i don't think new adopters can do that, they have to work, it will be too risky for them to take BTC as their regular job.

perhaps if they were the one's day trading the market, they would think of it as their job. but to be more specific on buying Bitcoin or investing in Bitcoin, of course, consider it as a job with Bitcoin ownership. too difficult. especially for those who are just starting. planning investment is not as easy and fast as we imagine. the process to get better results of course takes a long time.
now, it's better to work to invest in Bitcoin and get the result in the future.

Time is very precious and we should be able to use our time for freedom.  What people call financial freedom is a must for everyone.  I think so.  If you spend your day working hard and then you spend your salary to fulfill your daily needs, that is a real shame because you will be attached to that kind of thing for the rest of your life.

Why not? We know that there are professional traders and professional investors, why they can't consider that their activity is a job if it is? It depends only on results, right? If someone does it good and has a good profit which is not less than at some other work then it is a job. And if we talk about time than usually professional investing takes at least not less time than other jobs. So expectation that investing will free up time for other activities will hardly be realized: investor should work hard to not to lose.

All of this "bitcoin gave me freedom to live" thing sounds good to hear but the reality is you need money to buy bitcoin at first place.
Not many have such a kind of money to buy bitcoin which can eventually make them financially free sooner.
Talking about myself, I am in the rat race myself but I spend fiat for expenses and save bitcoin for future.
I don't have a big amount but trying to accumulate as much as I can without stressing over my job. Life is chill for me while accumulating bitcoins.
But that's not the case with everyone isn't it. People need to know how they can accumulate more bitcoins when they don't even have much to invest into it.

Anyhow you put it, I think it will still be attributed to Bitcoin. And would you mind suggest some online business? Especially the types that one can specifically do with mobile phones. I have always have interest in anything online but unfortunately there's no mentor and legit or reliable online business one can think of here. I am talking about a good paying one thou.

Investment in bitcoin is freedom because it's investment for lengthy period but those who make short term investment cannot be free because they have to keep their eyes on fluctuations of price.

 If a person invest money in bitcoin then he keep his Bitcoin saved for long term he is free to go anywhere and do anything he wants because he saved his Bitcoin now and this is a guaranteed investment that will provide maximum profit after some year.

the value of Bitcoin can decrease but for not all the time. it means that at certain times it will back to it's boosting value. your money cannot be lost while investment in bitcoin so you are free to do some another job with it and keep you investment save for long time.

I really like when people think like this, and it is not too late to take the Bitcoin train, I would Never say that Bitcoin is a Waste of time, neither to invest nor to learn, it is something that should be taken advantage of in order to have a better life in The future, if you buy bitcoin right now in a short time that investment will multiply, so that's not bad, it's better than putting the money in a bank where you can't even withdraw when you want or the amount you want because everything is with Permissions and many unnecessary protocols.

Life is too difficult, mate. I always had to work very hard to earn money. Slowly introduce Bitcoin and begin earning a small amount. I started earning money from the forum for the first time through a signature campaign. Then, as a campaign manager, I began managing signature campaigns. Then I made good money. Even though it is not my primary source of income, I am still active on the forum and earning a decent wage. I now have a marketing firm from which I earn a lot of cryptocurrency. To be honest, I am now established through crypto. Even though I own a marketing firm, I appreciate the forum and visit whenever I have the opportunity. So, yes, cryptocurrency completely changed my life.

Job is when you actively do it. Trading can be a job because you mostly need to monitor the chart and do actions like buy and sell but in investing you are mostly idling here after you buy a coin so indeed it's not a job.

There are still people who only treat trading as a side income because they know the risk especially if it was crypto is the one that they are trading as cryptos are highly unstable and not all times they can make a good income. If I am one of those who got a good chunk of BTC in the past, I think I will still look for ways to earn an income and will not only depend on my existing BTC because I know that I can use them all and after that, what's next? I don't want to be left with nothing.

The freedom bitcoin can give us is what attracts some people to this market, however we need to be honest, many people cannot deal with that level of freedom and the responsibility of becoming their own banks and they make all kind of mistakes while they are part of this market, in fact that was the reason which lead to the creation of banks many centuries ago as the people back then could not secure their gold coins and they trusted the bankers could do it for them.

I think with time we can achieve more. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that will increase time by time and we need to be calming down for the market and nit rush things so that we will not become a weak investor. Timing is very important in this era so all we need to do now is to ensure that we know what we are doing so that we are not going to continue making the same mistake over and over again.

It is what we hope on but it is not guaranteed. No one knows which will be bitcoin rates to fiat currencies when it will lose most of its volatility. We hope that it will be more costly than today but there is a minor probability that it will be cheaper. I'm sure bitcoin will never lose all its value (if no unexpected technical bug) until money lose the same sense as today, but I'm not so sure that it will continue growing up significantly all the time. Someday it will become rather stable and no one knows when.

Nowadays it is very difficult for people to find a job, so it is difficult for people to find a decent job. Available job opportunities are larger in the unskilled sector (unskilled laborers) and these jobs are not permanent, making it increasingly difficult for people to get a decent life.

You are much luckier than us because you have the opportunity to manage campaigns and have a marketing company, whereas we are just happy people promoting campaigns managed by managers. I agree with you that we should have a steady income from real work outside the forum, because we can never bet on life and prepare a decent financial only by relying on signature campaigns on forums.

I'm like that too friends, the benefits of the forum are very meaningful in my life and there are many other benefits that we get here, both about investing and trading patterns that we can learn, this forum has insight in thinking and generates lots of ideas, it can be said that this forum is a source and place to transfer knowledge whose level of truth exceeds that of other social media platforms.

I would add that attention is the key to your life.

Whatever you pay attention to makes it appear as a possibility in your life, if you then act on it, then it's a reality.

So, make sure to only pay attention to things you care in life, because that's quite literally how your life is created: Attention, Possibility, Reality.

For example, if you never paid attention to different ways of making money, your life will simply be very different than other people that paid attention to other ways of making money.

If you paid attention to Bitcoin in 2009 you would have today a very different life. Some people still choose not to pay attention to Bitcoin even today.

This also applies to how you live your life, how you interact with other people, etc, it applies to work, family, friends, happiness, well-being, everything.
