My mindset vs. Mindset of people around me.

[finaleshot2016]

If your income in crypto has a better income than working 8-12 hours every day but there's a huge risk on what you're doing. Since they wouldn't understand how do things work then explain it to them. It's the right time for engaging the people around you in learning cryptocurrency and might increases their attention and knowledge on what you're doing in your life.

In my situation, I'm a regular student and for me, it's a really hard course and should have a lot of time and effort to invest in studying. I can say that all of my time must be spent in a good way so I can pass all of those subjects and graduated on time. People around me are believing that I must graduate at the right time, have a degree, and take a licensure exam. Actually, I have a license even I'm a student but can you imagine that I still manage to do effort posting and creating informational threads and also gaining income that is considered as a common thing. Now, I'm always thinking that when I graduated and even I have a huge minimum salary for a fresh grad, I will still invest time on crypto.

I believe that a job is should be acquired, as reputable members said, signature campaigns or even the bitcoin can be vanished and might fully affect your whole life relying on it. I think being practical is way better than the usual thing we're doing in here to gain money. If you really love crypto then have time management or make a business that will help you for the division of your work, crypto for the first day and job for the next day, something like that. I'm just concern to you, have an escape plan in case there's something worst might happen in crypto.

Cryptocurrency might not forever exist but I will make sure that even crypto will go, the flow and the process of my success will be constant, still going up until we reach the sky.

I wouldn't mind to have a live with crypto earning if the earning is passive and if you have some good amount of BTC in holding. But as like other said, signature campaign isn't a full time job.
I would suggest you start up a business here or anywhere in online which will better suit your interest.

It's good that you are not talking about crypto in real life, keep at it, because words travel fast and it can just attract criminals or corrupted officials who would want to take your coins. Just tell people that you work online, that you're a translator or a writer, say that you are a freelancer.

Now, it's debatable whether signature campaign is a real job or not, but the fact is, you should have a ton of free time, and instead of fooling around you should learn some skills that will help you land a decent job in case signature campaign will end. Try to look at programming or design, translating, marketing, writing and so on. Find what works best for you and slowly learn, then look for jobs online.

Most people will not understand that you can make more money in crypto than a government work. If crypyo is paying you more, forget about what people say. Its your life, live it as it will please you and don't listen to people.

Income from crypto is unstable, sometimes high, sometimes low, or even losses. I meant sometimes you get huge profits from crypto and use most or part of profits for your daily expenses. In contrast, sometimes you have to see your balance falls every day (in bear market), hence you will have to withdraw money from your fund to pay your daily expenses. It will give you pressure, and sure you will have uncomfortable feelings.

If your income in crypto has a better income than working 8-12 hours every day but there's a huge risk on what you're doing.

No, 1 btc doesn't make anyone super rich anywhere. That's not how poor countries work.

He had a shitful job, but a signature campaign is not a job.
I live in a country as fuked as Philippines and this signature campaign cannot pay my monthly expenses, not even close. But it is a very good paym and it is not insignificant.

I have a full time job that pays nice in brazil, and thats the only way to survive in a poor country. Even chipmixer wouldn't pay enough to live here. Maybe a shitful single life without any luxury or travels etc.

Someone is paying for op rent, food, etc. He is paying for his beer that's all

And beer, cars, house, etc is very expensive in poor countries too. But wages are very small... And there's lots of unemployment.. but there is no other way, we all have to work.

I do not agree with your opinion, 1BTC is now almost $10 000 and if someone is work for $50 or $100 monthly salary this is huge money for him. But what about future price, in 5 years that 1BTC could be worth 5 or 10 times more - it is just a risk anyone need to take with cryptocurrency.

How much you need to have decent life in Brazil? ChipMixer signature participants have the possibility to get 0.0375 BTC per week or 0.15BTC per month. This is at current rate around $1400, and you can live in almost any EU country with that. By what I find online, average monthly net salary in Brazil is $465, and all utilities for 85m2 apartment are around $75.

Bitcoin is fluctuative so you should consider it as alternate investment not primary.

Also bitcoin is risky investment because the value always change constantly from time to time.
When your family told you to get your real job because they care about your future meanwhile crypto trading , IMO, only give you risky future !

To have a decent life, renting a house, being able to travel once a year, eat in a restaurant with a girl once a week and drink a beer, have a health plan (which costs near $100-150 per adult), I would say at least 1500-2000 USD depending on the city.  there are cities like Rio de janeiro which are as expensive as any big cities like London for example. Can you live well in London with 1500? I think someone can survive but in medium term  may have financial problems (there are unexpected costs, for example my notebook was robbed few months ago and I had to spent Usd500 in a new one). maybe Rio dr janeiro is even more expensive because there is no public service here. (You need to pay schools, hospital expenses, health plan, no police etc)

For how long was BTC above 10k? The average price since 2017 probably was about 5-7k.
There were months when it was 3200, such as December.  That would be like 500 USD. (What would be rent and health plan only probably). There is no public health plan here (there is but you will die if you need it.)

Also, can you live without ever paying taxes?

If you have a child, forget about all that math lol


Signatures, bounties are a great complementary income. They are very significant anywhere in the world, but I wouldn't live solely with them. Don't think it is safe or wise.

I do not know how then people live in Brazil with average of $500 per month if you need up to $2000 to live some decent life...I know what you consider decent life, but you are talking about houses, travelling, eating in restaurants and we are not on same page here. You are also wrong about comparing London&Rio de Janeiro, how cost of life can be same in those two cities? I check prices and most of things are 50% cheaper in Rio, then in London - and I can not live in London with $1500 because it is one of the most expensive cities in the world - they will be soon out of EU.

Let's say I bought 5 BTC back in 2015 for total of $1000, and I sell them for $100k in 2017, and then I invest half to buy 15+ Bitcoins this year at price of $3000 - Now I have $50k and 15 BTC, all from $1000 investment. This is just example, but it show that if people are smart, they can make big money with small investment.

I agree that signature campaign should not be primary job, but who are you or me to to judge others people lives - If OP wants to live such life it is his choice, and maybe he will profit more in 10 years in front of his PC then to work on some regular job all of his life.
