How many people left their full-time employment to go into Bitcoin?

[bitcoinmaniac52]

I can't say for sure, obviously, but there is one guy who I read left his high paying job to start trading cryptocurrency and he has made over $300,000 profit on just one year. 

And there are lots of companies that are based on Bitcoin that make a lot of money so I think the number would be in the tens of thousands!

I think the best strategy for bitcoin is just holding. It's much better than exchanging with altcoins. it's much better than buying ico using bitcoin. it's much better that spending a lot of time or quiting a job for it. Just hold, just leave it, not even think about it. wait a couple of years, and you'll sit in a fortune.

Loss of appetite, insomnia with it always. Little capital, real suffering 
The head from many coin at one time very tired, no time to do anything else.

I don't know people leaving their fiat jobs for bitcoin ventures ( Also I live in a place that not many might own bitcoin).
For me, I wouldn't leave my job for bitcoin adventures. Of course I can  still do both, and try to earn some bitcoin doing some side jobs as developing websites, helping in translations that would give me some BTC. I am also an holder because I do think BTC will grow and reach a great value.

Find a bitcoin related job is an ideal case. One good idea is to translate different ico to your native language. They usually have bounty program. And if you do it profesionally, it can make you a lot of bitcoins monthly.

From my own point of view this is going to depend on the kind of job one is doing, personally the job I am doing presently I am being owe backlog of salaries, if not for bitcoin that came to my rescue I would have been in debts now, I am preparing the ground to quit that job and concentrate fully on bitcoin after all there are many sources of bitcoin which I can fully embark on example trading and programming skill.
I have some skill in trading already and presently learning python.

I was talking to a friend the other day and he told me that two of his friends has left their full-time employment to concentrate on their Bitcoin ventures. < One in Crypto currency trading and the other into imports & exports, linked to ecommerce >

In light of the fact that Bitcoin is still experimental and very volatile, would you say that this was a good or a bad decision and would you do the same?

How many people have done this already?

I dont know how many people have done it already but in my opinion, if bit-coining will exeed my income from a secular job i will also quit my job. It is true bitcoin is still experimental and very unpredictable but one could be wise enough to take advantage of the opportunity while it is still on peak and make other investments out of their profit from bitcoins into a more stable investments. So if bitcoin will crash they will not be left empty handed. Everything is risky but we got to be courageous and give a try than regret later for not trying.

I also have few friends who left their full time job to focus in cryptocurrency trading and others here in signature campaign. For me quitting your job is not a good idea since crypto is still young but then maybe they already saved enough money to sustain their needs.

You are right, it is my thinking also that quitting job for bitcoin is not good. I always tell people to keep balance. And quitting job and moving completely to the bitcoin is an idiotic step. What if those people face any loss in bitcoin? There will be nothing to recover that loss. But if they have jobs then the income from that job can recover the loss. But still many people still leave their job to properly focus in bitcoin trading.

[Remainder]

I think there's more people now quieting there job and making full time on bitcoin because chance are big here in bitcoin! you can invest and earn double times your money by trading! I have friends already quit his job and now just work at home doing bitcoin and I want to follow his steps also, but for now that I only have few bitcoin savings and that's a difficult decision to leave full time work for now.

[Granxis]

As an example to myself, I have a good job, I do not think about leaving my business, I am interested in Bitcoin for about 5 years, but always making money is my background, I am following technological developments closely.

[shield132]

You can't imagine there are so much people and I can say I am halfly in their list (I work in real life and I am in bitcoin also). Even bitcoin holding is a source of getting money back with some profit, trading is the best thing here also because bitcoin is best currency for that because of it's very changeable price and mining does a great sense to put your big energy in this. All these facts are reasons of why people go in bitcoin and imagine, number of such people is very high, I believe more than 60% of people here are like that.

It was a bad idea. You've already mentioned that Bitcoin is still volatile which means it won't give its user a stable income unlike a job could give. They should make a way in order for them to do both at the same time and to make a bigger profit. But it's hard to say that they are wrong. Bitcoin is indded profitable and wr can't blame them to be attached to it especially if they want a bigger profit.

Me too.I have my friend of mine who quitted his job already and focus full time on bitcoin.Maybe he has earned lot of bitcoins already because he has done with that risky decision.Right now he's in the process of building his dream house.There is truly big chances of fortune if you make bitcoin a full time job.

When you have a job, you pay taxes for your future retirement, with Bitcoin, you don't. Let's say you go to make your money with Bitcoin for 20 years, what you will get when the time of your retirement will come? Peanuts, you will belong to the class below the poverty line...
The same with social insurance, etc. If you work for a company related to Bitcoin that's fine, otherwise, your "job" is at risk daily if I can say. When you have a family with children, you can't take such risks

[ivrynx]

In my country, we have heard of stories of bitcoin owners, who already have bitcoins years ago, they had quit their job and started businesses in order to gain more bitcoins and now they are all multimillionaires, therr is also a friend of a friend that took out all his money from the stock market and within a year of investing in bitcoin,is also considered a multimillionaire. I was once a financial ad isor for an insuran e company, what we tell our clients is to invest more in retirement while you are at a young age so in time, your money would have grown when you retire. But financial experts beg to differ, they would advise you to build your own retirement plan, that is to make your income grow more even if you quit your job, most of them go to businesses in order to still earn income after they quit their job, some, those with a lot of money go to the stock market and just get their dividends every month, but what i see in bitcoin is if you already have enough, you can quit yuour job and still be worry free, since the value hasn't reached its peak yet, but is producing multimillionaires, this is a good investment. You can retire anytime you want, once you feel like you have more for yourself, and i think for most people who have a job and not a carreer or passion, the ultimate goal is for us to quit our job and retire as early as possible, and with bitcoin we can do that. I think for us to quit our job, we just need our way out, and this is it, we are all working hard and smart, but investing with bitcoin to quit it, it is working smarter.

My friend too left his job to focus bitcoin and me too i left my job to focus more on bitcoin. When the time i work to my daily job i never earn money from my salary. Becuase its not enough to our daily lives.
But when i joined here and focus here i earned money for my family especially to my kids.

Same as my friend also got end of contract from his current job,  but after that got into bitcoin earning and so far his not having an interest to be recalled as an employee for anothe job request from the company. He also decided to focus on bitcoin jobs to earn triple than his wage from the previous job. I think those people among them one of that is my friend is cannot be determined how many are and all I know is they're getting larger in numbers.

[gajebo]

I regret leaving bitcoin for a long time, almost 4 years. That time the price is cheap. And now it's awesome.

[jmigdlc99]

Interesting topic. Happy to see that people can afford to leave their jobs and focus on making a living through bitcoin.

Im a software developer and am actually considering doing this as well to focus on crypto related projects.

[DevelopmentBank]

I almost did it recently but decided to go for some different prospects. If I didn't have a wife and child then yeah I probably would.

I feel you. I would like to leave my stable job for bitcoin too but its given that its a risk that directly affects my family, i just cant.

I think this is not really a wise decision they have come up with. I mean, Bitcoin is really great both as a source of income and as a technology, but we cannot tell until when this thing is functioning, or at least functioning well. So I guess a job, especially a lucrative one, should not just be dumped because of bitcoin.
