I am seem to be very jobless.
From the look of things around my ambient and how my neighbours view me and based on rumours, some persons are of the thoughts that am just one jobless guy within the neighborhood who is always either seen operating one gadget sitting at our balcony.

Some are just of the opinion that I might just be involved in one of those scamming internet fraudsters and that's why am always seen pressing and operating my gadget without any concern of looking for a job that would take me out of the house on work days just like my other counterparts within my neighborhood that are graduates like me. Although I have an office work which needs my presence just ones or twice a month as I could just stay at home and do the rest job from my laptop.

I try to manage my time into Bitcoin and my office job but as someone that lives an aloof life, as am of a well reserved lifestyle. So many persons have nothing of any idea about me and my private life within my neighborhood. And I believe it's due to this that they are of the opinion, assumptions and thoughts that am one jobless or internet scammer within the neighborhood as am always seen doing nothing but just with operating of my gadget.

And I was wondering, are there other people like me who are facing such mistaken thoughts and view from persons around their neighborhood towards them and how are they handling it.

Most people who are rich doesn't do any work I mean physically but they still can manage everything from their couch via audio or video conference everyday but no one asked them why you are simply sitting here instead of doing work. On other part who are salaried but got work from home jobs may face such scenarios like you mentioned because they know you are not that rich then they assume how do you manage to survive without doing any works. Nothing to worry about as long as you are making money which doesn't violates any of your laws in the country where you're living.

Keep this appearance up. It's actually to your advantage. Either they think you don't have enough money, hence making you less of a target for robberies if things go from bad to worse, or they think you are shady and hence stay the fcuk away from you. I think both are good unless you actually want people to like you and you might need to have at least a few friends in the neighborhood just in case you'd need some help later.

Just remember to live modestly (or at least appear to be modest) in these times.

If you can take care of yourself, it's nobody's business how you spend your time. I don't know your neighborhood, but I think most people who know you just by sight don't know if you don't have a job or work from a home office.

I'm happy for you that you have the opportunity to devote yourself to your interests and engage with what you are passionate about and believe in for the future!

It is high time people get to know we are in the technology era where communication and information is a big key🗝️🗝️🗝️ to richness. Not all that stay always online with their gadget are engaged in internet fraud. Alot of legit stuff are out there that can fetch good income. Getting reliable information is the key. A single reliable information can change your story within few minutes.
My gadgets📱📱💻💻 are more like my main office, so I can't do without them. I get reliable information that give me more income even sometimes more than my physical business.

It is of a choice either hovering around your premises instead of being inside concentrating on your job. I was once like this as well, when i packed in to my new apartment people around started poknosing about me that i am fraudster why being inside all day so i started noticing how i was being looked most at times if i m out from my apartment. what i did a day was to host a meeting, just like a class to sanitized their mind about bitcoin after the class never cared to look after me again that how was that case was closed. Mostly i was invited by my Landlord to properly explained what i does and which i calmly opened my system and inform him also used that medium to let him know he can buy bitcoin and hold this was back then 2017.

These are persons whom are not susceptible to change and as such, they could never understand. They tend to capitalise more on the happenings in their societies and as such, fail to acclimatise to the changes that goes on around the world.
Running the rate race orchestrated by the government, it becomes so traditional that seeing one doing something else feels wrong.
It's my wish that you do what you must, stay confident in it and let them talk themselves out rather than learn and chnage. Your sure to be far ahead before they realise any bit of what is available on the Web. The society now is the web with the Internet making it a global village or community.

Well! if you gonna listen to them saying some inappropriate comments about you, you won't mature because those people always have their own opinion even if you are wearing some nice suit going to work every day, they don't have anything good to say because that's just how they are. I think no matter what they say about you, you just need to ignore it at the end of the day, they don't have any evidence about their claim and these guys won't stop saying things no matter what you gonna do.

Yes, this is almost what happens to me, I was an employee and resigned from my job and sat at home to devote myself to my work in Crypto. My family and neighbors were surprised by my behavior and doubted my words and did not believe that I could resign from the job and work in Crypto to get a good income, I do not know, maybe some of them think I do forbidden things on the Internet, but that's not important, I don't care much what they think or say, the important thing is that I'm comfortable working with crypto.

As long as they see you as a jobless individual they'll keep away, which can be beneficial for many reasons.
When they know yo have money they'll try to be nice to you because they might need something. They also spread rumors and somebody somewhere could try to target you for a scam or steal from you.

I have some money but I always drive a car that looks average and live in one of the smallest houses in my area. I could afford a twice bigger one but I don;'t need the extra space. I'm not going to hire a cleaning lady for it.

Many women face this when they are jobless because they take care of the house, but other women see them as lazy or without ambition. In reality the woman who takes care of the house and the kids does that because she can afford staying home, while those who talk behind her back have to work every day and barely have time to talk to their children. 

This is interesting to me.  What area of the world do you live in?  This doesn't seem like an American problem.  From my experience, my neighbors mostly don't worry about what other people do for a living.  Maybe I'm just out of touch with the neighborhood gossip, but I don't think any of my neighbors has ever inquired about what I do for a living.  That seems like the sort of thing strangers ask you in bars to start up a conversation.  I only have a general idea what a couple of my neighbors do for a living, but I certainly couldn't care less.

This is the same case here to me,I am working,and I'm also a cryptopreneur,I was thinking of resigning from work sometimes ago so I can focus fully on my crypto,until I had a change of mind,that since crypto is something I do online,I will be asked what my source of income is,so I decided to stig to my work,and still do my crypto.
It is true that cryptopreneurs live a comfortable life,this is so because in crypto,there is every chance  of being a millionaire in less than no time as long as you trade,invest and buy projects that will yield good result in the nearest future.

You are not jobless, you are lucky!!

In my country your neighbor can even inform the police that you are a fraudster. The have this parochial belief that you must go out of the house in the morning and come back in the evening before they would consider you as employed and productive. You don't also need to stay in the balcony always except there is a reason for that. For me I am always indoor and my neighbors are not really aware when I am in or out. 

I think you made the right decision not to quit your job to focus on cryptocurrency. In BTT, we are always advised not to resign from our paying jobs to focus solely on Bitcoin investment or campaign earnings because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency investments are not like Ponzi scheme which people see as a quick money giving thing rather cryptocurrency investment(Bitcoin) can make one a millionaire depending on the current market situation (Bear and Bull run ) and the kind of investment you are into so sticking to your paying job and doing your crypto investment is the best idea because through your job you can gather funds to increase your crypto investment and hope for a better return.

Especially older generations are expecting work to be a tedious manual process, they can't fathom the fact that nowadays, you can also work from home, be productive, without it being to a tedious manual process. Technology is advancing, while flexible working models have become extremely popular after Covid-19.

A few years ago, when I was a teenager, I used to trade/flip bicycle parts for profit, spending quite some time on the internet in order to find decent deals/items, my parents always brushed it of as wasting my time on the computer.

OP,  just ignore all the comments and focus on your work.

I have a lot of concern about this, some are as a result of the misuse of opportunities and some came out of the execceisve way of life, youthful exorbirant. Bitcoin profit making give a massive profit that changes standard of living in quick term but the young guys are too careless to manage their emotions. They buy luxury cars, spend in the club and some even buy guns and pay for security. In the third world countries with weak currency, the dollar conversion make those profit so massive. I think the young guys dont need to use their gadget outside for everyone to see, live on lowkey without excesses, get streams of businesses from the profit in cryptocurrency and get married if possible with responsible lifestyle. Remote job is known in first world countries but not everywhere, if you have to stay at home stay indoor and spend carefully

Crypto is a job,so we dont need people to see us that will have a job,we just need to keep on making our money because it's not everybody that is supposed to know the source of our money.As long as crypto continue paying us,we will continue our thing.
I know some persons combine other jobs with crypto,but whether we combine the job or not,as long as we are receiving money from it,what people say does not matter to us.

I prefer to work like this compared to working offline from morning to evening at the office. This way I can save more money and have more time alone. Just ignore what people say, it's you who live life, not them, so ignore what they say to us and live life as usual.

It's even worse when you're up against your family members.
For example, I live in a rural area and the main activity of the residents here is farming. Although I have been working online for years, all my family members are not satisfied with this job, which does not require any physical effort except to be in my room behind the office.
I had many problems because of this, and I did not find any way to convince them except to build my own housing unit because I cannot move to another place by virtue of the agricultural work that I must supervise.

My sister was the smartest person since she was the only one in the family who had a university education. She told me that she suspected that I was engaging in suspicious activities such as fraud and theft via the Internet and promised me not to tell anyone.

If there is one thing I have realised in life, it is the fact that people's opinion doesn't define you or matters in your life except, you want and allow it to matter. At times, it's just best to let them be in there confused state while you silently make your money. Although, you've got to watch it to avoid envy and some evil intent neighbours from scheming and coming after you.

It's sad that these guys definition of work has to do with you going out early daily and back home at a later hour. They need to wake up to reality that times have changed and they too need to change. Curiosity should make them ask questions and not draw conclusions before they get to ask.

Your first paragraph is contradicting the other paragraphs. From your very first statement, you yourself alleged that you are jobless so the neighborhood is not gossiping you but saying the reality.



Really OP you don't have to live to satisfy others but to yourself. Jobless does not mean you are not eating like them. Do not live base on others rumours.

The reality of life is not even about going to school, it about understanding how life works. We go to school and get the certificate to get employment I'm a company buy in school, we were not thought how we are going to live our life to the fullest. I know.many graduate that have nothing to do than indulge in crime and create violence.

We need to get something doing whether small or big some we can balance life. Bitcoin had been a gift to humanity to help us stay away from penury and government issues. The government will want to control our lives and money but I am glad that Bitcoin came to rescue us from the further issues that could emanate from fiat currency.

Why do you care what people you don't know think about you? Let them. Even better: disinformation is great for privacy!
You should only care about the opinion of people who's opinion you value, not random strangers (like me) on the internet, and not random neighbours you never speak to.

This should not be a problem for you, do your thing and live your life, stay safe, stat out of trouble. The world has changed from 8 to 5 job or just government job. There is need to diversify into other sources that you can generate money on and if cryptocurrency is the source then you enjoy what you are doing. Get this straight, you see people most talk about you or what you do, if you are staying at home without job or cryptocurrency or having no means of survival, they also will criticize you so why bother about what people will say. Only do genuine business to earn money.

People will always talk because talk is cheap, the world have change, not as before need to leave their houses to work everyday.  Their are lot of online works that can be done at home that Is paying more than job that one have to go everyday. Jobs like programming , trading is what people do in there home.

Known of my business with anyone, all what I know is things am doing are right then fine. People love to judge in their on perspective which is wrong. In this world whether you like it or not people will talk about you whether it is true or lie. Just know that things you are doing are right. Then move on.

Being jobless does not always mean worthless! Take advantage of this holy time of doing nothing!

Jobless and not bothered. Dude, do you live in heaven?? Can we switch lives?

You don't have to blame anyone for their thoughts about you. That's what society project about human beings that stays idle without getting engaged with something meaningful apart from gadgets.

Most people believe that you must be doing something before you could be successful in life. Staying stuck at home means you are lazy, a scammer or just jobless.

Keep standing strong and focused. Don't let their words get to you. There's always a payday in crypto.

One thing with humans. Humans always defined people with what they see in people. Some human believe when they see people looking good on the street they actually doing well in their careers.  If we listen about people say about us sometimes it may makes us feel bad. People will always have a different mindset how they see you.

This type of mistaken perceptions affect a lot of people, not only you. At my place, it's common to be viewed as an internet fraudster if you don't go to work, but constantly on your phone, especially a laptop, and are able to live comfortably without seeking assistance from others. No matter how much you try to explain things to others, it won't work. Some even go as far as to report you to security officers in charge of busting cybercriminals, but those personnel don't do a good job of investigating before charging and robbing you off by accepting bribes to let you go.

In the end, you should just let them be and stop trying to impress them with how well you're doing since that's what causes people to report you to the authorities (using my place as an example in this case). Continue doing what you're doing so long as it brings in a few dollars, regardless of what the rest of society thinks.

This is the thought of the public when they don't see you hurrying to work by 8 am and sweating back in the evening around 5 pm but the life we are now has gone past that stage and very few people understand it that way while others refuse to understand but you are not living your life for anybody. The internet is there for everyone one to source out opportunities and if you have found your part with the knowledge you got online then maximize your time, gains and profit.


You only understood the literal meaning of what op said but you didn't read or you refuse to understand his point of view. From what he said and to the meaning it seem as if people see him that way of being jobless and not bothered about it because he is always seen pressing either the phone or other electronic gadgets.

you are doing the right thing - one should do what one feels like doing
I have been jobless for 3 years now. These campaigns have saved me during that rough time

It becomes awkward and awful how people in this current era after being told how the Internet have made the world a global village, how there are more opportunities online than in our locality, how people could work from the comfort of there home and yet, they are glued to the idea of, "one needs to leave the house or there home at a particular hour and back at a defined hour" to be considered employed.

It's just way too backwards and discomforting. It tells how the string the traditional way of doing things have gripped such a person. It makes them adamant to change and when things don't change, they break.

I have read somewhere
When you don't care about what people think about you - you have reached to the dangerously awesome level of independence and peace - live your life and enjoy to the fullest.

You are not alone on this type of situation. I believe there are plenty
of individuals that have similar circumstances. With the pandemic
a lot are glued to laptops and smart phones to work and stuff. The
position you are in at the moment isn’t substandard or unpleasant
at all, once the people who judged you because your always at your
house on the laptop finds out how chill and convenient your job and
work settings are at the moment. Inevitably they will come to that
point of utterly questioning themselves and the lives they live.
Expect that the perceived comparison by then will undeniably be an
eye opener for them of course, a humbling disposition at least.

To be honest, ive been in your position exactly a year ago, while it seems i need those paychecks but im too lazy to work. I got no motivation, no support from my friends, family and other close relatives.

I might have to resume working two jobs. I was experiencing a great deal of anxiety while doing this. I'm not sure if I can return to this way of life. I don't see things getting any better, therefore a part of me wants to end it all. But ive also come to this place and learning cryptos same as youu

When our hands are occupied then there is no place for anxiety
You did the right thing by working two jobs. I also started doing this to get rid of anxiety

Getting a job these days can be very frustrating especially high paying job can could give us good pay that we can use to feed our family without any complain. population is increasing everyday as people keep giving birth to children without any control to make sure that we do not have a population level that will make food scarce and employments hard to get. We just need to keep managing the little we are earning to make sure that life is better.

Most of the people are not seeking jobs these days - there is a great trend of freelancing and work from home
And all the credit goes to COVID where people were at ease that they are not the one who suffers only. the whole world is sitting home

Thats true with this uncontrollable inflation just job with a minimum pay cannot do anything,if you want to live a peaceful life you should have a job who pays you a heavy amount ,which is not happening  realistically so that's why people nowadays are preferring to look for freelancing work or work from home or small scale businesses . Yes ,what you want with your life is your concern not others so live your life like the way you want and be happy and satisfied.

First thing is I appreciate your state of mind that you are not influenced or carried away by our typical society norms that is working 9 to 5 is a must for your happy life and similarly business should be your life.  You can be a happy person without a job and now in today's world there are zillion ways to earn money like online ,freelancer and online business.  So the mindset of people shouldn't be your headache.

You're not the only one who has experienced such an incident, in the area where I live it's also the same, here the majority of people work every day, some work in factories, offices, farmers, sell in shops and build houses or something like that.

while I'm just at home every day, but I have money, from my trading results in bitcoin and other crypto.
people automatically wonder, where do I get my money from, and sometimes someone says I'm lazy, because they think I only use my parents' money, even though I'm at home, I still work, invest in bitcoin, have a YouTube channel ,and I'm active on Instagram.

but I understand what they say, because in my area not many people know about crypto investing and the like, so I don't think badly of them.

Don't care too much about other people's eyes, you can control the time yourself, you don't need to let others know, you like the current job, and it is enough to meet your expenses.
