Bitcoin User Poll #3 - Monthly Income - are you an earner?

[HabBear]

Bitcoin User Poll Project

I'm developing a series of polls to identify some demographics about the bitcoin community, using the forum participants as a sample group for the larger bitcoin community. Please help me by completing the polls as they are posted. Feel free to share comments or debate the results as well.

The polls will cover the following topics - age, location, monthly income, bitcoin balance, etc.

These polls taken together can provide us a good picture of what the community looks like. I'll be happy to post all aggregated results here so everyone can benefit from the data.

Please spread the word to other users so we can great a response as possible!

Thanks!

Are you asking how much I earn at my job or what I earn using my bitcoin?

Great question, the number should include all income you earn (on average) in a month. I now many people have have multiple sources of income, especially the younger and older among us.

Thanks!

I earn around $600 per month, which is close to the average salary in my country. But still, it is very hard to take care of all the expenses, such as rent, food, and utility bills with this amount.

My income is around $200 a month by doing signature campaign, investing in ICO and trading. This is fixed but sometimes it can increased .I earn around $50 by doin signature campaign it depends how much is per rate per post that manager want. In trading I Earn $100 a month because I have many altcoin so the profit is good . in ICO I invest in many ICO so my income is around $50 . I hope my income in the future become high so I can pay my tuition fee for the next 2 years. My income monthly is for good only to buy personal needs and for my allowance for my school like buying projects and books and many more.

Are you asking the member in this forum about their monthly income or if we are an earner? because if that so, in my experience here I actually do the job like what I did before when I was in the government working as a supervisor. I can also consider my self as one of the bitcoin earner, due to I received payout every week together my total income by doing trade in the different exchange sites.

[HatakeKakashi]

I think my income in a month is only $300  but is not stable income . I earned money or bitcoin because of doing signature campaign, by posting and if your rank is high the payment must be good and I'm happy because. I'm rank is good. Most of my income is from trading I buy an altcoin with the cheap price and then sell it if the price increase. And I also invest ICO after ico  ends I'm happy because I make some profit . I also earned in the service section . all of my income is because of that.

Good question - I'm asking members of this forum what their monthly income is on average. Any income, all income. Bitcoin, fiat. Signature campaign, trading, free lance services, career job, stock dividends....whatever you bring in as new money each month.

What's that number for you? Or better yet...complete the poll! Thanks.

I am earning around 240$ monthly from being a site moderator and at the same time I am earning additional 100$ in the signature campaign monthly. That makes a total of 340$ monthly. That is my fixed income and I did not mentioned other sources of income because it is seasonal. My other sources are referral commissions, trading and gambling.

[marcoman22]

My monthly income is around $300. Most of my income is from trading. I have invested in 3 Altcoins. I get a little from signature campaign.Yet, im struggling to meet my day to day expenses.I had an idea of investing in cloud mining schemes to get a passive income, but since lots of them turn to be scams nowadays,so i dropped that idea.Now, i have planned to invest in ICO so that i could gain more when its price increases.

Sadly I don't earn more than $1,000 even if I combine my earnings in bitcoins, freebies/giveaways and adding my salary in real life. That's so sad to think about. Then expenses are about $800 a month. Paying for rent, electricity, water, internet, and food. Some more payments for some other stuff. I don't really save anything. Now you made me realize I don't save too much.

[HabBear]

The realization you speak of can be discouraging...but it doesn't have to be. You can start saving at any time and it doesn't have to be some grand amount, saving one dollar, euro, yuan, etc. is enough to get you moving toward larger goals. The biggest factor that influences success in saving money is changing your habits to actually set aside the money.

As for the poll, have you seen the bitcoin wealth poll we're also managing? We'd love to get your response on that one, here's the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1752664.0

I make around 160$ per month with current price which is about 900$. It's like minimal salary here, so I'm pretty satisfied with that earnings

I think the poll was better to have more answers <200 <500 <1000 because in some countries $1000 is really a high income within a month while in some countries it isn't enough even to pay the rental. When are going to be published the results from these polls?

Citizens of 1st world countries often forgets that McDonald's minimal wage is not something people can earn easily in every place on earth.
More options should be added to show how dire situation of some people is, after seeing preliminary results of this poll - poor people are attracted to BTC the most.

I profit mostly from my business in the real world. I have laundry business and drinking water supplier. Business is good in based from my previous accounting of it. I also try my best to invest into bitcoins. Right now, I am finding ways to have people pay us in bitcoins for a smoother process of payment and remove the cash my workers handle and avoid tI profit mostly from my business in the real world.

Great points here. If I had an opportunity to do it again, I'd add another category below $1,000. Thanks for the feedback.

One question I have from those that are earning under $1,000 a month is how old are you? and where are you from? I think this may tell us something about the 65% who have responded that earn less than $1,000 monthly. And that may be obvious - younger people tend to earn less money, etc.

Have you filled out Poll #1 and #2 on age and location? If not, I'd be grateful if you did.

Yes upon seeing that the choices in the poll is lack of those lower amount. That's what I want to suggest also, try to add some choices as most of us here are not earning higher than $1,000. And it's going to be not sure if you are just going to make it <$1,000 you must be specific for it so that many can participate. Actually I'm earning less than $1,000 combining my monthly salary, trading profit and other source of income.
