Bitcoin & your off-work life: Blending hobbies with cryptocurrencies?

[Mahanton]

I have been thinking lately about how Bitcoin and crypto as a whole could integrate into our lifestyles beyond trading and staring at charts.  We all have hobbies and passions we go after when not on the clock - stuff that sparks joy and and maybe even some income on the side, so has anyone discovered novel ways to blend Bitcoin or crypto into their after-hours pastimes or side gigs?  Except the time spent on this forum, of course.

Seems there could be cool potential to unite our personal interests with the technological promise of decentralized networks and digital scarcity.  But Im still brainstorming how exactly to integrate that in my own little life.  Would love to hear any inventive examples from you all! Even just ideas to stir my imagination.

When it comes to blending hobbies with cryptocurrencies then it will be just that only on spending up some time on this forum, trading my favorite coins and having some chit-chats with my friends about crypto on my vacant time or after my day job.I've been doing this for almost 10 years considering that it was my first time on stepping in my foot into this space on which it is that always a part of me on what im currently doing now.
For larger scale then those earlier responses or post are relevant specially when you do have a business then integrating crypto payments or even doing as simple as gambling could still give out that kind of in connection in between crypto and your typical life routines or dealings. The important thing on here is that you do stick into your interest and doesnt compromise something. So its up to someones choice on how they would be having those kind of dealing.

For me, cryptocurrencies have already become an absolutely common item of use in many ways, this is also a subject for transferring money for some services to friends, I also sometimes sold goods for bitcoin, finding cryptocurrencies among my acquaintances, sometimes I sold goods by sending them abroad. Well, and, of course, I want to remember gambling games, where I also often pay with cryptocurrencies.
Also recently, with the help of special services, I bought subscriptions to computer games at the expense of cryptocurrency, and of course, antivirus and a subscription to sites for quick downloading from a file sharing service.

When it comes into this aspect then its been long time that i've been using up crypto when making up some transactions in between other people specially into my loved ones.
Same goes when paying up something on which you can easily do so since here in our country on which it do have some options on paying up with crypto on which it is a huge convenience but since
i dont spend up that much of my precious coins because we do know the potential when it comes to profits making then it will be that up to you. Its a matter of preference because
most of the time this will be pertaining about your interest in the end of the day.

I used to want that. But these days, other than gambling and writing, i want my past time hobbies have nothing to do with cryptos. I used to do graphics and memes for some projects as a hobby, but that was just an excuse to polish my skills and learn more about design.

Whole scene and watching charts is stressful enough. And keeping myself off the charts and crypto news feeds, ( if i am not actively trading ) is doing wonders to my nerves. I shiver when i think the time i started, when i was hooked to the screen and obsessed about cryptos.

That is how it becomes natural part of your life. I do work and then get paid in bitcoin ,and I am capable of paying 2 of my debts in bitcoin too, which means that almost over half of my situation is covered in bitcoin, and the rest is still in cash, so I cash out some of my bitcoin to get that and pay those, but it's fine, it is not a big deal.

I haven't been able to get as much bitcoin as I could, because I am in debt, and the debt is growing every month these days unfortunately, I will need to figure out a way to pay it all off just for once, and if I do that, then I will be able to live with what I earn. But to do that, I need bitcoin and alts to go up, so that I would have a good investment and could make some money with it.

Well posting on this forum is kind of a hobby for me. That and reading about tech related stuff, historical stuff and great people.

The first one obviously ends up getting some campaign earning for me and that is a plus for me to continue this hobby.

Many users have products they sell. Some of them are full time and some are starting out as a hobby, I hope to see such users come to this forum and accept bitcoin payments too. Still getting into the technical part of bitcoin and contributing to same will need some education from your side and learning something new might not be possible for everyone to balance.

Even more than a hobby mate, it’s actually one of my reliable sources of income. Hopefully, I can make use of bitcoin in my own locality when our country is already bitcoin-friendly. But for now, utilizing bitcoin is still limited.

What I have in mind is to promote bitcoin payment through establishing my own business like my dream convenience store. That’s one way to recognize bitcoin not just in our own locality but even in then neighboring areas too.

Bitcoin traders are in the field and many new persons want to be miner and trader of Bitcoin but in many countries BTC is ban and people are facing many problems about that . Government are applying many rules and regulations on them and they are in difficulty because they will not be successful if government will not support them . I saw one person in my town and his account has been banned due to trading and agents are saying that is scam but we know that that is best currency .Many people are taking cryptocurrency as a hobby because they are doing trade of that and they are earning good from that but in those countries where that is not ban.

Maybe teaching Bitcoin to people might give me uncommon joy. Many people have been brainwashed by the government of my country that cryptocurrencies are fraudulent. Maybe educating them that Bitcoin is different would be a good hobby for me. But I can't do that now because of security reasons.

Using cryptocurrencies to bypass financial restrictions by the government also entertains me. When they think they can control you and you show them that they can't, bring some level of satisfaction.

And in my country, for such "satisfaction" you can get a real criminal prosecution. And then go to jail for a decent term. And all because you paid someone with crypto for work or a service. The law is already under consideration, if I'm not mistaken. Do you know what's most interesting? These usurpers in power left a loophole for themselves. It turns out that they can make payments and transfers abroad within the framework of foreign trade relations, but serfs and servants are strictly prohibited from doing this.

Thankfully I live in a nation where crypto payments are fully legal, I do not know what I would do if it wasn't, I would really have gone a lot worse and I think it's clear that we are not going to see this be a bad situation. I get that it is going to be something much worse than this if that was the case, like yours.

However, I am sure that whatever nation you are from, will go into crypto and make it okay to pay eventually, because the whole world is getitng closer to this so it would make sense if we could end up with better results for the whole nation. So, your nation will see that other nations are doing better thanks to bitcoin and that would not be a big deal which is why I hope that we are going to see this changing.

There is not much I can do with Bitcoin in my country right now, aside from earning from it here on the forum through signature campaigns and being part of a Bitcoin community that discusses Bitcoin ideologies every day. That alone is satisfactory, as I am always seen here every day participating in discussions. I found a new hobby here in this forum. Bitcoin is not fully legalised in my country, and there are really some restrictions on what I can do with it.

Although on a few occasions, I have tried to explain what I know about Bitcoin to my close friends and family. The discussions, although not intended for earning, are usually impactful.

My earnings from Bitcoin investments and signature campaigns are okay for now, until Bitcoin becomes something we are no longer scared to use publicly.

I get that you are trying to look on the bright side, but I would not call the situation in your country satisfactory regarding Bitcoin.  With the legal restrictions in place, it kinda defeats the purpose of Bitcoin being useful and providing financial freedom and  you can still own some as a collectors item, but if you cant fully use it or transfer it freely then Bitcoin loses its appeal in my opinion.  Its ok you are content with the limitations, but most people want Bitcoin to live up to its potential.  To each their own I guess, but having to comply with heavy regulations on a decentralized currency seems weirdly contradictory.   Im sure youll make do with the situation, but I just would not settle for calling it very satisfying.

Buy Bitcoin, spend Bitcoin, trade Bitcoin, invest in Bitcoin. When you do at least one of these you have successfully integrate Bitcoin and cryptocurrency into your daily life. You don't need to do all of them before you can boast having it in your daily life.

In the future, there could be more to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency but that will depend on the mass number of adoption.

I have been researching and offering my technical services in exchange for crypto payments from companies that pays in crypto. I have always believed that our involvements with crypto doesn't end here in the forum. I have also done local vendor in the recent PI coin listing and bought a good deal of coin from clients which I sold in exchanges and got my profits from buying at lower costs than the exchange value. I gamble sometimes with stable coins too and would even prefer if some contracts I get can pay in crypto, but it turns out my country people are more comfortable transacting in fiat, maybe in the future it would change, but I surely would prefer being paid for my services in crypto rather than fiat.

Does gambling count? It's hobby and crypto in one, although whether it's profitable or not depends on lady luck.

Or if you are into a small past-time business, online or offline, you could integrate crypto with it, accepting Bitcoin payments, for example, or even offering a little discount to those who pay in Bitcoin.

Or how about small crypto or Bitcoin talks after work? Especially if you have a crypto circle of friends, you could assign one specific topic every session. That must be nice over a bottle of beer or a cup of coffee.

How about you share your specific hobbies and passions?

I think that crypto is now become an hobby for many because just like you have time for other activities that is the same way that those who have  interest in crypto currency is now crypto currency especially Bitcoin has become a big business by many so creating time for it is no longer a problem because people now prioritize creating time for crypto currency because they have seen the value and importance of crypto currency in this contemporary life especially in the areas of changing their financial life

Maybe this could be easier and bring more convenience for us if bitcoin is highly accepted in our own local area, but for now it seems the government still make some restrictions that made majority see that bitcoin isn’t that user-friendly. But we all know global adoption is still in process, so let’s patiently wait for it.

For now, aside from gambling and making this forum a daily habit, I’m also considering of trying to educate the people around me about bitcoin. This is in preparation so that once I will be able to start my own business, I will advertise bitcoin payment acceptance so that a lot of people will be know more about bitcoin.
