Bitcoin Forum

Hi, I hope you are all doing well. I am a teacher and teach students about IT. But from my job, I cannot fulfil my expenses that why start learning about Bitcoin the last 3 months my friend told me about the Bitcointalk forum in start working on bounties but not earned any money yet Now he said to make post other section will help me to trade and earning. I read the rules before posting. Can someone guide me on how I manage my time and earn money from trading what is an effective way to start?

My first thought about this thread is that it's about bitcoin trading, like, the literal trading. But it seems like you meant about earning through bounties. But the last sentence made me confused again. Regardless, I assume you are referring to bounties.
It is hard to earn through bounty hunting. There are very few promising campaigns but has bunch of bounty hunters.
If you have any service that can offer here, you can try that. Like, if you are a designer, Social Media Manager, etc.

Bitcoin does not provide an alternative source of income. If your job cannot meet your expenses, try to find another job which can be a side hustle that helps you sustain your financial needs.

You would not earn anything cause you came in with the wrong mindset. This is a bitcoin forum to discuss about bitcoin and not to earn about bounties. Focus on the discussions and you would learn a lot more than you can on bounties.

Your questions are a bit confusing but I will take it this way
First as an IT person there some certain skills you might have that could help you render services either on the forum or outside it, just explore the service board and see those on the forums.
Secondly concerning bounties or airdrops, they are hardly beneficial anymore most except some few that come through and that would explain why you haven’t earn anything since you have been here.
Also the trading part you mentioned is different from bounties. Trading do pay off but it requires you to have capital and essential knowledge of it. Also it has his risk that it is advisable to go into it with money you can afford to lose.

The easiest way to earn on the forum currently is through signature campaigns. That too requires you to grow in ranks within the forum before you’re deemed eligible. You can only grow in the forum rank by contributing meaningful either through creating helpful contents or threads you have knowledge about or by sharing your knowledge when one needs help in the forum

If you want to trade, you have to start with an amount that you are okay to lose it. Why? Because it's not guaranteed and being a newbie, you really have to go through the process and even it's kind of risky but from there you'll get to learn how the market works. It's not going to be an overnight process for you as most of the traders truly are losing from time to time. Reading some books, articles and guides like this will certainly help you to start: A Complete Guide to Cryptocurrency Trading for Beginners (https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/a-complete-guide-to-cryptocurrency-trading-for-beginners)

Welcome to Bitcointalk. The name means something, a forum for Bitcoin and you should focus on Bitcoin, not altcoins. Bounties are for altcoins and should never be your priority.

You can not earn anything by making posts if you are not in a signature campaign or making posts for your services. From your IT works, you can learn about Bitcoin and make scripts, trading scripts and sell it or work with crypto jobs to get money and Bitcoin.
Online Job Websites about Crypto and that pays in Crypto (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251518.0)

Trading is risky and if you can not afford to lose money with trading, don't start trading.

In addition, you must manage your job too so you won't have much time for trading. You can invest in Bitcoin, to save your time and to manage your job too.

You should probably stop listening to that your friend, firstly you don't just post anything on every section like he had told you, if you want to post about trading and check the forum on trading matter then there is a trading board for it.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0


Also your friend doesn't know how crypto-currency works and he is just probably throwing false information at you, first what's your mindset about? Set your target read through Bitcoin and Crypto-currency in general and understand what you actually can do, you won't be profitable in trading just because your friend asked you to or on the basis that you want to earn.

The first thing you have to remember, crypto trading is very risky. you can really lose your money.
Since you asked about timing, I assume you already have the expertise and some of the necessary skills in trading.
if you can't do day trading and are very focused on the market. why don't you trade for a longer time plan? you should read more about it. or if you want to be safer, you can start investing first in Bitcoin. because in a situation that is easy to panic when you always look at the market. you can not focus on your duties as a teacher. the same goes for the trades you make.
trade when you are relaxed. You can really disrupt your life if you focus too much.

Thanks for the suggestions, Yes I will try to think about using my special talents and providing beneficial services to differentiate myself in the crowded bounty hunting market. And I also focus on training and earning profit from them

Here is what I understand from what you have posted which if you permit me I would like to correct

You cannot trade on the forum and start earning. You can at the point when you have attained Full Member Rank apply for any signature campaign that is opened. If you are accepted by the campaign manager, only then will be start earning. On the other hand, if you have a skill that other users need, you could offer your skill for a small fee and get paid in bitcoin for it.

If you have read and understood what I have written, you can infer that your topic title is a bit misleading maybe due to your level on the forum.

Right I am Starting with a small amount and willing to risk is a wise approach. Yes Trading is a learning process and even experienced traders face occasional losses. By immersing myself in educational resources like books articles, and guides and follow your recommendation such as A Complete Guide to Cryptocurrency Trading for Beginners learn form it. Thank You

Hey there! It's great to hear that you're exploring new avenues to supplement your income. Teaching IT and diving into the world of Bitcoin, that's quite the dynamic duo!

But now I wonder, if you are really a teacher teaching students about IT, how come you haven't heard of Bitcoin before? I mean, it's not like Bitcoin is a secret or anything. It's been around since 2009 and has had quite the impact on the world we live in today. So how come you've never heard of it before?

Regarding your question about how to manage your time and earn money from trading, there are no simple answers. Everyone's situation is different, which means that there really isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to this problem. I can tell you, however, that if you're serious about trading and want to make money doing it, then you need to be willing to put in the work. There's no such thing as getting rich quick with cryptocurrency, even if some people may try to convince you otherwise!

Since you have the mindset of earning through bounty based on who referred you to this place, that mindset might actually hinder you a little because your focus might all be on the bounty section. And you have to change that mindset. Follow up on a few trading tips through the link shared by Tabas; it will really help you gain a little knowledge about trading, and when you have learned a few things, you can give it a try and learn how to reduce losses. Please note that crypto currency trading doesn't always guarantee profit.

You can also actually earn online. If I get you correctly, you said you teach children IT courses. Those skills you can perfect online. Advertise yourself either in this forum or outside of this place. There are a lot of freelancing sites where you can offer your skills, upload your portfolio, and clients will look at it and pay for your time. You can actually start making real money, which you could use to foot all your bills, adding to your little teaching earnings.

At first my advice to you is that don't start trading before you have learnt a lot about crypto. Because there are chances that you may lose your funds if market crash on a bad news. You may learn more about trading from YouTube and be an expert. After that you can start your trading journey. Always try to manage a few time and watch the market situation and you can set take profit and stop loss and in this way you can manage your order by not giving too much time in trading.

I got the following from your posts.
1- Your job cannot cover your expenses so you are here to seek extra income.
2- You tried to work in the bounty sections but you have not earned any money
3- You are now considering building your account to earn from other means
4- You are also considering learning about bitcoin trading
5- And you want to know how to combine your job with the forum activities.

My advice
1-  Focus on learning and not making money. The bounty section will not expose you to the rudiments of Bitcoin.
2-Contribute to the forum that is why you need to learn about Bitcoin and the forum.
3- To trade you have to be knowledgeable about the trading section.
4-Many people on the forum also have full-time jobs. You don't need to spend all your time in the forum. Your spare time will be enough. Just avoid other time-wasting activities like using social media just for fun.

This condition reminds me of when I was still teaching and finally ventured into the crypto world to increase my income.
Honestly, this will not be easy, or not as easy as other people might get when we initially see them seem successful and get a lot of earnings.
But one thing is certain when we are willing to try and be willing to sacrifice a little time to learn more, it is possible that we will get better income or additional income from both forums and trading activities.
 
1. Regarding bounty participation, to be honest, this is true. The first time I was in this forum was just focusing on joining the bounty program without thinking about what contribution we should make, just making a few posts to meet the requirements. Listen, avoid this method, I've done it for a while at that time and it really didn't work, especially when our rank is still below Full member.

It would be better if you would spend a few months of your time learning how to contribute to this forum, improve the quality of your posts, and work on increasing your ranks by earning merit. of course, you have to study more often and in more ways, observe if there is a help board on your local board. Indeed, this is like spending time, however, this really works, if you are serious and want to learn, then you will get various benefits when you can rise to higher ranks and take part in signature campaigns that pay BTC.
It won't be easy, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

2. Related to trading activities for earning more money.
Are you sure you want to do this? Trading is quite a risky activity, especially for beginners. There is no guarantee that you will get a bigger profit than the possible losses. However, if you are really ready for the risks, learn about crypto trading first, both the exchange to be used, how to analyze and strategy, and various complex things related to trading in the application, including how to choose a coin. Don't easily trust the trading signals on the telegam group, they might help but don't take it right away, study the market in that situation too. Maybe you will also find several online trading courses, if needed, you can follow them to increase your knowledge of trading methods and adjust them to your own abilities and analysis. It will be better if you try to start from Spot trading first, don't try to Future market at the beginning of your trading, this is very risky.

Being a trader profit is hope, loss is certainty. so no one can really get 100% profit if we become traders. because sometimes the market cannot be fully analyzed, this is experience.
I myself have been a trader since 2016 and admit that, so maybe my advice is that you have to start with a small capital, while learning from mistakes when you experience losses and of course you have to keep learning and reading a lot from trusted sources.

I suggest you keep your job while you are searching for other means to earn more money, bounties are a waste of time and energy, and from your post history I can see a lot of bounty applications. Signature campaigns or bounties are not the same as trading bitcoin. I believe you have been misdirected by your friend, he led you to believe bounty hunting is lucrative and now he has told you to change your posting style so you can participate in signature campaign. Since your motivation for being here is to earn from the forum, you will have to work your way to full member to join campaigns.

Just keep your job while you are still in the process of learning and accumulating knowledge and skills in trading. And for you to do that, explore the forum first and find topics that are related to trading and understanding them well. You can always do your due diligence to do the research as much as possible so you can add more knowledge aside from the posted topics here in the forum. Also, there are free youtube videos in the internet on how to trade, you start viewing on it. And when you’re ready to trade, put a small amount of money first since newbies are more susceptible to losses at first, and when you’ve gained a lot of experiences in trading, that’s the time you can start adjusting your trading size so you can also expect bigger returns too.

Exactly. You can never earn from a signature campaign if your position is still a newbie so you have to work on it first and wait until you’re qualified enough. Just keep on reading and understand them as well. DYOR always because that’s the best way so you can easily absorb the contents of the topics in the forum. Fast forward, if you are already earning from signature campaign, then you can use your profits to trade but make sure to use small capital in your first trades. Trading is risky so you also have to prepare for it and always trade with caution.

The best way to start trading is by learning its basic first and acquire knowledge and skills first before you decide to take live trading. It’s important to gain real experiences in trading as well as that will help you manage your trading strategies and adjust to how the trading market works. And always start with a small capital in trading as there are inevitable losses that will surely happen so you have to trade at an amount that you can manage to lose.

You are talking about three things all together: earning from bounties, how to earn in the forum, and, in regards to your topic, how to earn from Bitcoin trading. Before you can combine your real job with any other side hustle, you should first be sure of what you really want to do. Regarding the three things you already thought of, it's not that easy to earn from all at once. First, bounties in these forums are for some altcoin projects that are just coming up, and most times they don't even get their token or coin listed in any exchange, so it's just pointless to have the thought that you can make money from bounties. Even if you do, it's going to be by luck, more like gambling; either you get lucky on one project or you lose, and all the effort put into the bounty will be a total waste of time.

For Bitcoin trading, you will need to devote time to learning how it works, and it can take you some months before you can really get to understand how it works and how to gradually make profits. The other way to earn in the forum is to join some signature campaigns and get paid in BTC, but before that can be possible, you need to strengthen your account by making quality posts that can earn you some merits to rank up before you can join a signature campaign.

All that I have mentioned to you requires your time, effort, and patience before you can really begin to make money out of it. You need time and effort to grow your account here; you need time and effort to learn trading so well; but you need luck to earn from bounties 😜. So, either you chose trading or to grow your account, then you can combine anyone you chose with you main job.

Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

That's quite tough, and I think you need time management.
But always remember that your job is your priority, and as a teacher, your primary focus should be on your job and your students.  Your teaching duties and obligations must be fulfilled before dedicating time to Bitcoin trading.  Set clear boundaries to avoid any conflicts of interest or distractions during your work hours.

If you really want to trade it might you may consider using automated trading tools or setting up specific alerts to help manage your Bitcoin trades more efficiently.  These tools can monitor the market for you and execute trades based on predefined parameters, reducing the time and effort required on your part.  But remember these tools are just a tool to make you more profit, they work on behalf of you so it depends on your decision how the trading bot will work.

Well, good luck.

Well for starters, trading is considered one of the most difficult ways of earning money in the process. It takes some dedication to skill, time, and patience in order to at least breakeven from your winnings due to the nature of it being risky in itself.

If you want to start trading, I highly recommend that you start in low volumes first. You have to understand the market and trade in low amounts in order to at least gain some experience in this field. I would also warn you that trading is an art where it is easy to enter but very difficult to master. What separates a beginner from an expert trader is the time and experience the latter have.

I'm working on bounties from last month and have not earned any money from them. I understand that they may not always be the most efficient. I also acknowledge the importance of keeping my job while exploring other opportunities to increase my income. I value your input and will consider diversifying my approach including potentially participating in signature campaigns as I work towards becoming a full member. Thank you for your positive and unique perspective.

I agree that my primary focus should be on fulfilling my teaching duties and obligations to my students. Setting clear boundaries to avoid conflicts of interest during work hours is crucial. If I decide to engage in Bitcoin trading as you said I will consider utilizing automated tools or alerts to enhance efficiency. Can These tools monitor the market and execute trades based on predefined parameters, reducing the time and effort?
I appreciate your well wishes and guidance. Thank you for your positive outlook and suggestions.

You are a lecturer in a college. Of course you will spend a lot of your afternoon teaching students where you teach. So if you trade on the crypto market, it will definitely be quieter, at night or more precisely when you are resting. At that time you should be able to determine, which crypto you will invest and you trade. Then you also have to determine, whether you will trade in the short term or trade in the long term. Here you should be able to see all your daily conditions, especially in the field of work. So that you can focus more on your work as a lecturer and on trading on the crypto market. But I suggest, you are better off investing and trading in crypto in the long term. Because if you invest and trade in the short term, you will definitely need more time to analyze the market.

But if you trade cryptos over the long term, you definitely don't need to monitor or analyze the market very often. The most important thing is that you have to have a goal, how many months or how many years, so that it is definitely time to sell all your crypto assets. And I also recommend crypto that is suitable for the long term, namely bitcoin. Bitcoin is one of the safest and most price stable crypto assets. So it would be highly recommended for beginners.

My first thought about this thread is that it's about bitcoin trading, like, the literal trading. But it seems like you meant about earning through bounties. But the last sentence made me confused again. Regardless, I assume you are referring to bounties.
It is hard to earn through bounty hunting. There are very few promising campaigns but has bunch of bounty hunters.
If you have any service that can offer here, you can try that. Like, if you are a designer, or a white colar job worker you should be able to know your work shedules and how you can managed ur trading and ur job.if your job is office job and if supervisor is not always around you can visite your trade to see what is going on there,you alone knows the nature of your job i think.

If you do not have a stable financial source from a real life job then it will automatically be difficult for you to engage trading in crypto. There's currently a Pizza contest being hosted by Cyrus and I'm not sure that's what you mean [Bitcointalk Party - Discord sv] Bitcoin Pizza bake-off contest! Enter by June 1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247383.msg62285486#msg62285486). The only thing I can think of about signature campaigns that both pay for BTC and tokens, The references below can take you there?

The point is that there is almost no way to get involved in trading if you don't have the money to buy it and even if there are suggestions about borrowing money from other parties it's not a solution, because from your story it says that you can't meet your expenses from the job you are currently in and that's why borrowing other people's money to trade will be far more risky.

When I was new to crypto trading, I used tools like TabTrader, which helped me learn to analyze the market and provide warnings about price movements. It can help you when you are not teaching and don't need to use your laptop. Just have your cell phone to check the market situation. And I still use it until now.

Or you can download the application provided by the exchange to your mobile to execute it without a laptop. It will make it easy for you to connect with the exchange wherever you are so you can trade immediately if you see an opportunity to enter the market and make profits.

But before you start trading, you should learn about analyzing the market. And for the lesson, you can look for it at home after teaching.

You're welcome to this wonderful forum, but I don't think your friend told you the whole truth about it. As a teacher, you  can not easily decide to start trading and investing in bitcoin in the hopes that you will start making more money. However, this forum is not just for making posts like that; it's also a place where you can get advice on when and how to begin any trading you want to do in cryptocurrencies.

If you are serious about bitcoin trading and to earn from it,I will advise you to first of all get the knowledge of bitcoin basic concepts by dedicating your time to learn and contribute in forum topics and discussion. You can't jump into trading without knowing the fundamental of what you want to get involved in,it might lead you to a big loss. Also try to grow in the forum so that you can expand your knowledge and enjoy the benefits of the forum when you have attained a certain rank. Thinking of making money currently as a newbie is not the best for you and is not necessarily. Your job is very important to you and you can't stop until you have gotten a better option,a bird at hand is worth more than a million in the forest.

Thank you for welcoming me to this forum. I value your advice on the importance of gaining knowledge and understanding the fundamentals of Bitcoin trading before diving into it.  As you said Actively participating in forums and discussions will help me learn and contribute to the community. Also, I acknowledge the need for patience and not rushing into trading without proper preparation. While immediate profits may not be guaranteed so I continue my current job for financial stability. I'm excited to embark on this learning journey in Bitcoin trading.

If you are a teacher, I think there is a great opportunity to work and add passive income because teaching time is not full time for up to 1 day. At least half a day has finished your teaching and learning activities. Yes. one of them like your friend explained in this forum.

From your post 2 criteria are born from the title you want to trade and one more you want to join and follow some of the campaigns provided in forums like Bounties (Altcoins) and want to get the rewards and that's very good. My hope is that after you become proficient at conveying to your students about the development of the digital financial world, in this case BTC, and the great potential that exists in it.

To stick to Start with Small Amounts first, Set Realistic Goals and don't be greedy and Manage Emotions as Bitcoin Trading can be an emotionally challenging process too, make sure you set time for relaxation and less stress in your life.

Bitcointalk forum is a good start. You will not only learn trading and investing from it, but you will also make an income as long as you’re knowledgeable enough and that your position is already qualified to apply for a signature campaign. However, never expect immediate profits as every success needs to be worked hard and even take some risks. Especially in trading where a lot of preparation is essential. And when you’re good enough, provided that you have gained the required skills and strategies to make trading work, then start trading with a small capital. It’s okay to win, but it’s more okay to lose at first since that will make you improve your trading experience and eventually master it.

Be flexible and learn to DYOR as it’s the best key to be successful in the forum and in trading industry. And never start to do live trading unless you have gained essential skills and experiences that will make you a productive trader. Trading is risky and is very uncertain, but if you have the skills in analyzing the market well and knows when to trade or not, you will never be an epic failure in trading.

This may be related to time management that must be done, this is very possible if indeed you still have time and energy in this crypto. Focus on what crypto activity you will be doing, whether it is investing or trading or something else. This is important, because so we can prepare what we need and what time it takes.

of course you must spend enough time to learn how to trade, this will be mot easy because it needs more knowledge to analyze the market, situation, chart and indicators and many more to analyze. And we must know how to analyze them very well, understanding the ways for trading, and also implementing the suitable strategy to trade. This is risky, of course, because trading is always risky. But we can manage the risks of we have good knowledge and experiences about it

I know that you'll make it, it may not be as easy as you may expect but I know that someday it's gonna be worth it for you and you'll be proud of that day when it comes. So, good luck with your trading journey and those people that I know that have been eager on it and never stopped learning were able to earn what they are right now and that's due to them because they never quit. They balance everything, the amount of capital they have, the risk they're taking and the emotional capital that they're placing in for their trades.

If that so you want to focus on trading, we recommend visiting our Trading discussion  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0)board; actually you can learn more here in our community; use bitcoin as your side hustle because the market is volatile and no one knows what are the next market movement with the job of 8 hours a day still you have the rest of 24 hrs to learn more about cryptocurrency once you know how to make a trade your extra money can use to serve a small position for spot or futures trading. Since, again you are working ideally with the futures is just a small leverage only and getting a ride with the market, this is suitable and ideal for your lifestyle.

Time management is an essential skill and I know how tough it can be to manage time and trade while doing your day job.
One good thing about crypto is that it runs 24x7 and this gives us a benefit to trade whenever we can.
So whether you do day trade or swing trade or anything you just need to spend 1 hour a day.
You can choose any flexible time as per your convenience and spend 1 hour to learn and analyse the market.
Always put your trades with a stop loss because when you are working on your day job then it's the stop loss that will limit your losses.

You have to leave one for one, real trading takes a lot of determination and attention, and having an extra job aside will likely disturb and distract your attention, you need to be serious with trading first and when you are an expert you won't even need to look for an extra job, what you will make from trading will be more than enough for you.

Find some money and buy some foods that will serve you for months and use all those months to focus on trading, when you end up having the chart reading knowledge you will be able to make a lot of money.

Maybe the first thing you should do is check how much you are spending each month to find out if there is an error or if it is your regular monthly expenses.
This is important because if your salary is $1k per month and your living expenses reach $900, maybe you need a side job that can provide more money.
But if you don't want to look for a second job, you can start learning about trading and ensure you have better skills to start trading.
You have to be able to set a time to start trading and you are lucky to want to trade in crypto because you can get into the crypto market any time you want so if you only have the night to trade, that should be enough.
Timing is the most important before you start trading, especially if you have a steady job.

If your job salary can't fulfill your all expenses then go for developing your skills. And there is no limitation that you have to do only trading. You can develop your skills in the field you are good at.
And if you come to learn something new, you can't expect money at first. One has to try and work for a long time then one can expect income from there. Like you worked in bounty and didn't get paid, but in the current state of bounty it is not good to do. And if I talking about the trading or investment here you can earn profit but here also have a risk.
So currently in my opinion for you it will be better to start work in this forum And since you are an IT person you can share your IT related topics here and rank up by getting merit through post activity. Then if you want you can start earning by signature campaign. But in this case, you have to give time.
And the other way you can make a service thread where you can provide your service. services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0). And even then if you wanna do trading then I think those rules may can help you, take a look- Top 10 Rules for Successful Trading (https://www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/10/top-ten-rules-for-trading.asp)

Quitting your job for a Bitcoin trading that you merely know anything about is not an option I will recommend to anyone, not even my worst enemy, because though you might be passing through difficult times like this, but I believe you can combine both your teaching work and your trading lessons until only when you have become very perfect in trading able to generate 5 to 10x of how much you earn as a teacher, then will I suggest you quit and focus full time on your trading skills. But for now, I kindly suggest you take it step by step, as we have got a whole bunch of worthy trading tips that have been posted on this forun by experience traders, and the privilege to ask any question, and be given a sound professional answer.

I don't think your friend told you the bitter stories of trading, he only told you of the sweet side of it on how possible you can make money, true you can make money but it is not easy. However, I think maybe you misplaced what you wanted to say regards to earning not trading but if you actually mean trading, then you can move your post to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0

Moreover nobody can guide you on how to manage your time because it is left for you to do based on circumstances of what you do and your work.

Since you do not have enough knowledge about trading, it will be very difficult for you to make a profit. Moreover, you need to know that trading takes a very long time and it will be difficult for you to combine trading with your main job. The most suitable solution for you can be considered a long-term investment, that is, bought and hold until the price increases to the size when you consider that the profit is already enough.

Since you have a problem about time managment, this article[1]  is one good guide on how to create it.  Sharing it on how the article written the steps:

Step 1: List all of your tasks and assignments
Step 2: Define your priorities
Step 3: Estimate the time it will take to complete each prioritized task
Step 4: Schedule contingency time
Step 5: Schedule discretionary time
Step 6: Create a visual representation of your schedule
Step 7: Analyze your schedule and activities

After creating a time management plan, you should start learning about trading first since you wanted to earn through trading activities.  It may take time but once you learn the basics and theories of trading, you can then try it using demo accounts to personalize yourself on actual trading activities through demo account.  From there if you feel that you are knowledgeable enough, you can then participate in actual Bitcoin trading platform.

You have a job at hand and you need another means of getting money to support yourself, is good to have multiple streams of income but you have to be careful not to lose the one you already have, and if you talk about coming here to earn from bounties I suggest you have a change of plans, your friend who told you about Bitcointalk might not really send the right info to you before joining. He might be in any of the campaigns here but not really telling you, who knows?
 
To me I'd prefer you try as much as you can to give this Forum the time to spend here after coming back from your other job and by so doing you'd start improving on your post, get enough recognition, dropping of quality post just to grow your account and probably some day you'd rank up and join a campaign and start getting paid to support your other job. If you still having in mind that you'd earn from bounties then you have the wrong ideas (I wonder the kind of trading you talking about though). Try and build your account and forget the idea your friend cooked for you.

I wouldn't say it's a waste, it's just hard to find one that's worth it.
Your focus should be on learning to trade (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0) if that's what you want. You only need to slowly learn to trade in theory before actually practicing. The type of trading that I don't think requires any special time is the spot market, with trading terms of 3 to 7 days with only one technical analysis and SL/TP entry settings according to the price target. I currently do it without disturbing my IRL activities

Managing your time depends on your time management skills, so if you have time to post here, you will have time to schedule it. If you are worried about being able to trade and do your job, it's better to take a bot and you almost have the freedom to "set and forget," but you should still check occasionally. You can set up a telegram bot for notifications etc.

The bot would help you solve this problem to trade still and work simultaneously. The bot is Gunbot (https://gunbot.ph), and if you need help setting it up, I got you.

First of all, don't do trade with your hard earn money, only spend some of it that you really dont use it. and I would recommend Spot Onyl dont even try the futures until you know how the trade work, Because in spot you actually have the coin and some coin can be staked in case the price goes down.

Trading is a time-consuming task, needed money, and very challenging but lucky for you that crypto is 24 Hour market so you can still be a teacher and do trade when you at home and do-nothing. Tho Crypto trading can be very profitable than stock forex or other form of investment

Bitcoin trading does not seem to me to be a good idea. There is a very high probability that you will lose your money. If you start from a situation where you have little money even worse. The safest and least risky way to make money with trading is to have a large capital and aim for a low percentage of profitability, but this is not your situation.


If you have patience and contribute positively to the forum you will be able to join signature campaign in the future which can give you a more regular and stable income than trading.

You're an IT teacher like you said. I'm pretty sure that you know a skill that you can offer online right? I mean you know how to use computers since you're an IT graduate, and you're teaching it as well.

How to manage your time? It's only you that can answer that question. There was a time where I can't manage my time as well, and the only thing that I did is I sat alone in my bedroom, listed all the things that I'm doing on a daily basis, and putting a time on what time will I do a particular thing. Don't procrastinate as well because sometimes procrastinating is the reason why we are lacking time to do other things. List the things that you're doing daily, and from that put a specific time where you will do that thing if it's time.

Now how to earn money from trading. If you're a newbie, forget about earning because most of the newbies in trading don't earn profit in the mid to long run. I'm not saying all, but when I was a newbie, I lost half or more than half of my capital in trading. Fortunately that isn't the case now since I know what I'm doing already, but in your case if you're a newbie then forget earning. Experience will teach you along the away, so just spend a few bucks on your first try in trading. I don't usually recommend watching on Youtube, but TBH that's where I learned trading, so I guess I'll say to watch some Youtube videos that will give you information that will help you in your trading journey.

I think in your case, it would be better if you will focus on teaching students while being a freelancer first, and then be a full-time freelancer.

The main goal is only based on money, not how to be a member who contributes and provides benefits to the forum. If only money oriented then there will be no development. It even took me a long time to earn money in this forum, anyone who is active and able to contribute and become a useful member deserves to get a reward such as participating in a signature campaign.
nothing is instant, everything requires a process to reach the highest rank and get paid.

Having a side hustle is crucial, especially in countries where workers wages/salary scales are relatively low in comparison to the high prices of commodities. As a result, many people find it difficult to solve some of their problems with their salaries and wages they are receiving. However, creating alternatives in the cryptocurrency industry is difficult because it will take time before you begin to earn. It may not be as simple as you may think because you must first learn and gain enough knowledge before you can begin to earn money, particularly in trading, you must have invest time and have solid knowledge and good capital first. And being a Bounty hunter may not pay you because I don't think that their will been any good project that will be ready pay hunters reasonable amount in this bear bear market.


Time management is crucial, and it is something we must think about in order to arrange our activities and do them quickly.It will be tough for me to advise you on that since I am unsure of how many hours you have spent in the classroom teaching and also engaging in other things at home. However, for the time being, I will advise you to schedule yourself wisely so you have enough time to analyze your trade.

First of all Time management is an important skill for success if you are a teacher and also start treading you can manage it when you are free because trading is part-time work but before doing it you have complete knowledge of it otherwise you lose your money. So the primary focus is on your job and the rest of your time is doing research and analysing the trading in cryptocurrency

Although people have given you suggestions that I believe will benefit you fit you read through the replies but here's mine as well. You're the only one that can make out time for yourself because you're the only one that knows how your schedule for work are. You're a teacher so I believe you have most of your morning hours occupied therefore you're left with only the evening and night time to trade. You can comfortably use those hours in trading and be profitable. The good time is that the crypto market doesn't have a timeout when the market closes, it'll always open so you can trade anything.

Also you can make use of the automatic trading options to buy or sell a coin while you're away from your system. If you noticed trading isn't working for you then get another side hustle. I would had told you to quit teaching entirely and look for a more convenient job that gives you time to focus on your side hustle but teaching is one job I can't advise anybody to stop since you're playing a role in building the future generations of your country therefore keep it up but get another side hustle that can be used to replace trading assuming you can't trade at those late hours due to tiredness.

Gain knowledge and experience first, that’s the very basic for you to be successful and profitable in your investment or trading. Otherwise, if you jump on trading because of your desire to earn money quickly, you will only waste your money and time because you only have less knowledge analyzing the market and you have no working strategies that will make your trades win over the market. So do the steps one at a time. Learn on your own first and also learn from other’s mistakes, so you won’t be repeating the same mistakes that will make your trades unprofitable.

Take time to read and learn everything you have seen in the forum, and do your own diligence to make extensive research when you are in doubt. And watch free youtube videos on trading too as that will make you aware on the real scenario when you are in trading. That way, you have acquired knowledge and skills first before you decide to trade, and let your future experiences improve your trading skills and strategies.

Do you really think it's easy to be trading and running your normal job at the same time?? Hehe...
Trading requires a huge amount of time and concentration. I believe jobs over your country would atleast run for 6 hours, how do you cope ?? I use to ask questions atimes cus ion really understand why things are being done that way ... - why should I stress myself a whole month just to get paid in peanut when I could simply get that in barely one week or so??... It was said - "that if a man chases two squirrel at the same time, he ends up getting none at the end".

There are currently no good bounties. You have come to the wrong time for bounties. You are looking for a signature campaign. You can get something from trading. So join the trading.

I respect you for joining the Bitcoin ecosystem through the evangelism of your friend because most people always think BTC is about the illicit activity.
According to your question, there are different types of cryptocurrency trading we have day trading swing trading, short/long trading, and scalping, among others. You will only need to choose the form of trading that will befit your time and also make use of market price alerts.

We don't need to be a full term trader for us to be a trader. If we have a job we are doing, it is good for us to do the two together. We can even trade at workplace when we are less busy and go about our normal analysis looking for where to buy or sell. There are different ways we can utilize our trading and we don't have to force. We can even analysis the market before going to work in the morning looking for a possible place to buy and sell. This could help us set a buy limit or sell limit that may trigger if price reaches the level for it to trigger.

Managing a job and trading simultaneously can be challenging, but with proper planning and discipline it is possible to balance both. Clearly define your trading goals and objectives which help to built a well-defined trading plan and your strategy, including buying and selling of your assets. Set aside dedicated time for trading, preferably when you're free from work-related responsibilities because effective time management is mandatory in this scenario. It's important to maintain a healthy work-life balance to avoid burnout, because when you trade with a tired mind, you lose yourself based on not giving adequate time. Therefore, maintaining a job and trading together needs self-control, anticipation, and honesty.

Welcome to the forum, it will be difficult to get a good bounty now, till during the bull run before you will be able to get some profitable bounties. Nobody is going to help you to trade here, if you see anyone that message you and want to help you trade it's just a pure scam, the only thing member's of the forum can tell you is just to guild you on how to trade.

The effective way to learn about how to trade is to go on a research to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, then you learn about trading, watch videos and read PDF books and if you don't understand anything, you can easily ask here and am sure people are here that are going to help you, after reading books and watching videos, then you can decide to put it in practice with just little amount for a start, and am sure you will keep on growing.

From my view, trading and working is not feasible at the same time but when it comes to trading it depends on when and how often you made the plans to be doing it.
You can fix your time to be doing your trade at weekends while you work weekdays so as not to conflict the both otherwise you make one a priority and leave the other with little or no much concentration   and attention.

I have read the topic title and the entire topic content that you wrote with a slightly random placement of punctuation. The title and topic content have no direct connection, in the title you want advice from forum members how to time between real work and Bitcoin trading. But in the contents of the topic you want to make money on the forum by following the bounty campaign program.

Actually how to manage time between real work and side jobs depends on each individual, everyone has their own way of managing time. You can do it in your own way which is more comfortable than the suggestions from members on the forum. Regarding how to make money on forums there is a lot that can be done, try to take the time to read the comments one by one in this topic, you are sure to find the best way to make money in forums.

So you're trying to advice him to quit his teaching job and focus on trading. By quiting his teaching job he's giving up on the kids he used to teach to focus on himself. if you ask me I'll call that selfishness. Life isn't about the money that we were able to make but the lifes we were able to impact while we were on earth because when you finally depart this world, it's the memories that stays with us and not the money you were able to gather while you were here. They'll just be passed on to your next of kin that'll rubbish the money as we see with today's youths living unnecessary expensive lifestyle because they didn't work for their money.

Trading doesn't need all your time and concentration and it mustn't be a full time job. Majority of traders we have are part time traders. They're not actively on the desktop screen minoring every candle stick. You can complete your trades for the day in matters of hours and carryon with other matters of life so the teacher must not basically quit unless she or he doesn't love what he's doing by impacting knowledge into the younger generation then she can quit and focused all her attention of looking for money through trading.

Allow me to agree with you on this point - of course trading and work can be done without requiring the trader to walk away from either one forever. It just needs to be the right timing between work and trading - and they shouldn't think that they can always make a profit trading so it's safe for them to leave their job. Work is prestige which in its function can differentiate someone between the unemployed and the worker.

You could those IT skills here by providing a service that should see you earning extra income, it's all about being creative and using your strengths where applicable and don't be blinded that the forum is only about bounties and what not, this place has more to offer than meets the eye.


Unfortunately there isn't a better person than yourself that can help you to manage this time effectively because you know how much time you need to put into your IT job and not sure how many hours you putting in a day.

But if you are trading based on charts, then stick to high timeframes and the minimum can be say the 15minute structure...besides you can have alerts whenever price comes close to your point of interest and the alike..Hope this won't distract you when you do your job.

But for easier way to trade and make extra cash, try peer 2peer trading this won't disappoint  too as its based on the buy low and sell high concept which should reward you...

Welcome to the btt Forum. You must keep in mind that due to the number of scam projects in the crypto space and the vast number of participants in them, altcoin bounty campaigns are no longer as lucrative as they once were in 2017. These days, it will be difficult to discover a legitimate altcoin bounty; even if you do, you will only get paid a penny after spending weeks campaigning it.

I would advise you to start building your account as a good poster and focus less on participating in altcoin bounties. You never can tell when you might reach full member rank and be able to participate in a campaign that pays in bitcoin, allowing you to earn bitcoin every week.
Making posts in other sections of the forum doesn't help provide trading and earning to anyone. Remove that kind of mindset from your head. People make posts in other sections when they have something meaningful to say or ask in an existing post that other forum members would learn from. Although many people that engaged in that mostly are those rendering their services by joining the signature campaign by putting on their  signature.
Trading is not considered an effective way to start earning in crypto as a beginner due to how risky trading is. But you can choose to invest in bitcoin for a long-term purpose and earn from it or better still imply a dca strategy

Op from your article if I understand you very well, I am not giving you any allegation but saying the truth. You are here because of money not even to learn trade, that is a very fat big lie. You are here for only for campaign and not for learning anything. The bolded sentence from above explain everything you want here. Learning trading face to face is more faster than even the forum. Though you will be guided here but physical learning is the best.

To be frank, there isn't anyone on planet earth who doesn't have that tint of selfishness running through them. However, what makes other selfishness conspicuous is the level it's taken to without a bit consideration for others. You talked about abandoning the kids, why shouldn't the teacher be told to concentrate on pursuing whatever ambition they want? Passion alone without money doesn't pay bills. The teacher has bills to pay. The kids have parents who obviously are pursuing their own ambition too. If what the teacher gets at the end of the month as salary is mere peanut, why shouldn't they take the step of faith in getting something better? My only concern for the teacher is they've to get a good handle on trading before quitting their teaching job. Otherwise, they're more likely to suffer hardship.

Life is about two things – money and legacy. Nothing says one can't have both. While money is relevant to us while we're still on earth, legacy comes to play when when we're gone beyond the curtails (dead). So, have you now seen that life is majorly about money?

They also have to adapt it to what type of work they are in. If they work 6 - 8 a day for 5 days, then of course the best time to trade is at night when the body and thoughts was relaxed. So it's true that adjusting and managing work and trading time depends on each of us and what type of work, so surely the advice is different for one person and another.

This is exactly true.
I'm a little worried about the understanding and decision later. He's here because his friend gave him the information and in the end he hopes to get money and he says he doesn't get worthy results from bounties. And he hasn't learned how to make money out of this forum for real. At least because he is a teacher, he wants to learn first how people here can make a good contribution to the forum and get income from the campaign here.

And unfortunately, he asked again about trading, I'm afraid if the OP only hears from people who are successful in trading and earn high income. Meanwhile, he may not hear detailed information about the process for success in trading. In fact, trading is a very risky thing and is not recommended for beginners, especially those who don't want to learn to understand beforehand what crypto is, how to trade, what are the risks and various other things.

My advice to OP, learn a lot about crypto in advance, read more about trading and really understand the strategy so you can manage the risks. Don't just listen and imagine getting easy money from the forum or from trading it.

Learning may take some time so just be more patient and show more interest in bitcoin because everything will paid off once you have master bitcoin investing and trading in the market. For now, keep on researching and learning, and once you have saved a good amount to invest, then start investing with a small amount so that even if you lose, at least you learn also a lesson. Investing and trading in the market are not that hard once you have gained good experiences on how to take advantage in every market opportunities.

Firstly, please make this question clearer, mate.
Do you mean to do your job as a teacher and trading together at the same time?
It is impossible, mate. You need to spare your time for trading, trading needs a focus and it is not a so easy job. I think you can trade at home after your job is over already. How long you spend time for trading, it depends on you. If you are busy, you just spend a few hours for trading. Time for trading is quite adjustable, it isn't like the time for teaching students.

If you joined the bounties paid in new altcoins, it makes sense if you still can't earn any money. We rarely have good bounties paid in new altcoins, most of them are just weak projects or scam projects. After the bounty is over, most of the projects never announce when they list their tokens/coins on an exchange. Finally, many of them disappear, the developers/teams are gone.

Most forum members prefer to join signature paid in BTC nowadays. But you need to rank up to be eligible as the participants. In most signature campaigns, the minimum rank needed is Full member or Senior member.

I suggest you are focused on learning first. You can learn how to trade properly from some threads in this forum (take a look at Trading Discussion board), read articles, or watch YT videos. Then, after you think you already understand the basic knowledge of trading, you should start trading with small money first. Your focus is to get enough experience. When you already trade for many times and you know well how to trade properly, you can start to use a bigger capital.

I don't like giving information that concerns bitcoin trading and other methods of its investment without briefing you of the disadvantages, I believe that bitcoin trading or trading have basics functions for a beginner to be able to know the advantages and the disadvantages to avoid some certain things that's not comprehensive. You most not serve two master's at a time, if you want to learn bitcoin and trading, you have to devote out time to learn bitcoin, because I believe that trading is more dangerous than buying and selling of bitcoin, because if you don't understand the scope and precautions of trading, you will end up of losing your money.

He does not need to leave his job in order to start earning from bitcoin or start trading to make profit.
The perfect thing to do is when you have a real time job, you use your spare time to learn bitcoin and invest in Bitcoin. In fact bitcoin investment does not even need much time in less than 5 minutes one must have bought bitcoin and kept in their wallet.
What actually will consume time is if they want to trade bitcoin and altcoins too.
If that is the case, he could still be learning and trading and still be using the Bitcoin forum while he continued to do his job where he will be getting money.

It is fine he already has a source of income. Even if it is not enough, it can keep him going while he learn about Bitcoin.
Many people who find it difficult in cryptocurrency as a whole are people who did not have were they earn before. They just come in empty-handed and hoping to become bitcoin millionaires overnight.

Of course there is no need to be a full time trader to earn if they can do it in their free time. Also pushing more trades won't guarantee they'll be consistently profitable either, in fact I think it's still much better if they do it on a day off and trade casually.

Becoming a full time trader is an option, but may still be a consideration for trading and working. Jobs guaranteed their salary every month, but merchants would not guarantee expected profits. Few people deserve to leave their real job (formal job) if it is really successful and profitable enough to start their own business.

True. I would never leave my job even if trading were somehow 2x of my current salary. It's just not that reliable unless I have other sorts of income like a business, and considering that we're inside a market that we don't know if it is going to be worth the trade in the next few hours or so, I would not risk it.

Not sure how other full-time traders do now these days, but I would give them a kudos for keeping up. I was not able to even continue trading even when I was learning tutorials and stuff from Youtube. Day trading and trading itself is not just for everyone.

@OP Assuming you're still here reading comments, it's perfectly fine if you can't handle your time between your job and Bitcoin trading. It's a field that's not meant for everybody and I, myself, don't want to go back in that mental exhaustion I encountered long time ago.

Hmm, To really make trading profitable requires time and if you do not have enough time then my recommendation is you should Buy and Hold because this is the only way to make profitable trades without investing much time, one extra tip does not go for meme coins on buy and hold. Prefer top assets and most of the time Bitcoin only.

Trading is really not that easy to manage part-time if you are not experienced, Also there high risk in trading because when face continuous losses in trades it might make you frustrated, and that frustration can you to actual damage.

I'm in this industry for more than a decade and I can tell you that it's very hard to make money from daily trading on Bitcoin. There are so many more factors than traditional stock exchanges. Even if you make tens of good trades you may lose it all in one wrong trade and that happens a lot in Bitcoin. Whenever I trade Bitcoin I end up having less coins but when I accumulate regularly I always win. Especially in these uncertain times you better hold on to your coins instead of doing daily trades.

Yes, the best thing he can do is buy and hold only Bitcoin but if he can afford a reliable and trusted cryptocurrency trading bot. I will advise him to get one to make his crypto trading more flexible and less time-consuming so that he will only need to focus on the bot setting and market analysis.
