Are you secretive about trading currency?

[maxell_etheridge]

Among my friends, I am seen as a person that have huge knowledge about cryptocurrencies and modern technology in general, but they've never asked me if I invest money in it, so I decided that i won't brag about it until someone asks me directly.

Would you put Currency Trader on your resume?

Would you mention that you have been trading currency during a job interview?

If you solely make money with online trading and then apply for a job, what else would you put on the resume?

[South Park]

When people ask, What do you do for a living? I have a full time job, but I also trade crypto-currency.  I do not like telling them about my currency and Bitcoin activities because when I tell people about trading currency online our relationship sometimes changes. They start scheming or they think "I can do that, better than you" and I suspect they want to secretly start trading too.
 
Does anybody relate to this?

In my country cryptocurrencies have a bad reputation even if nothing noteworthy has happened that involved them in a crime and I have my suspicions that it is nothing more but the media doing what it does best which is to misdirect the public from the important questions, as such I prefer to hide my trading activities and my involvement with crypto, this is something that can be quite difficult since the market of cryptocurrencies and everything it happens in it is slowly taking most of my free time.

[Pipdips]

Sometimes I will check the charts at a Starbucks or at a library. Baristas and librarians are nosey and annoying. If they recognize a live crypto-currency trading exchange on the screen they will change and act differently with a competitive edge. For this reason I prefer trading in the privacy of my own home.

Once somebody asked me how I make a living and I told the person that I make extra income trading cyrpto-currency online and the persons behavior changed. They responded with a strange "I know somebody who does that...". It put them into a different mood in a way that they know a expert crypto trader of some kind but will not reveal any specific names...

Trading has been a game and people or traders are not going to expose their really strategies to you. It is very difficult to really build a strategy that works and that is why no one is going to completely share it with others especially if he has started making profits from those strategies. I do keep my core strategies to myself because I have spent serious time developing them and since there are useful to me I kept them secret.

Definitely I do get tons of this questions from people I meet on our day to day activities even on social media, I definitely tell up what I do, as a crypto enthusiast it will be notified all over you when all your concentration is on your gadgets all the time.

I don't really think there is any secret as regards trading crypto currency that one cannot fine or that is quite different from what people have shared in relation to technical and fundermental analysis, just that what works for you may not work for another person and not really that they are not aware of the same method.
Please can some of you who usually claim to be a good trader shows us some evidence of what you guys have made from trading crypto currency?

If you solely make money with online trading and then apply for a job, what else would you put on the resume?

If you solely make money by trading why do you need to go to job interviews in the first place?

I'm rather secretive. Even my family doesn't know what I'm doing. They know I'm an investor and that's it but I have other sources of income. I'm not a full time crypto trader or anything like that. If I were and had all my money invested I would be even more secretive.

[Pipdips]

Pixie I am not a full time trader either but I spend a lot of my time investing, trading, and learning more about it, like it is nobodies business.

However I do need to find an actual job... Does anybody have any employment ideas for people who secretly trade a lot?

[oseikuf44]

I am open to those who knows I trade cryptocurrency and always glad to offer them the advice in account opening, basic trading ideas and how to avoid pitfall in trading. Keeping it secret prevent others who might be interested in trading and I think as a bitcoiner is my duty to expand the gospel of crypto.

Nothing to be worried, if they're interested then let them know. Let them do their own research and to learn by themselves is the only way to succeed, at least give them some ideas when needed.

[BlackFor3st]

In my first involvement in crypto currency, I didn't tell anyone as I didn't know yet what will happen if I cannot give them the correct information that they want to hear. The same with my trading, though I am not a full time trader like other professionals who makes trading as their source of profit.

Being secretive is a good idea for me but other also wonder how I was able to get a large amount of money aside from my work. So there is still some disadvantages to it. Still I have not known anyone who do secret trading as what I am doing in my area because most of them are no how if we are going to talk about crypto currency. 

[glendall]

some points I also do the same thing with you,
I do not like to be known to my friends and family if I trade cryptocurrency,
that's why in the real world I just have to be considered unemployed.
but that doesn't matter, because the important thing is profit, not recognition from the community.

[ricardobs]

I don't tell people that I am into crypto trading or an crypto investor, I always keep it from people and I only tell my family. Why I don't tell people about my crypto job is because I am not the type of person that likes to let people know everything that I'm into, somethings are meant to be kept a secret and not to be shared with everyone you see. So if people ask me what I do I simply tell them about my daily job. But I once told my friend that I do cryptocurrency and since he has been thinking that I'm too rich, when I haven't even gotten much from cryptocurrency yet.

I got that, there's no need to work or apply to work if you already gaining great amount of profits dealing with your trading activities, the financial advantage of this field gives us freedom to work under our own design, we move in which way we desire as long as we are getting our target profits.

No need to mentions anything about this benefits that we are enjoying, it's take some time before learning the deeper part of this industry so why
bother and waste time to communicate and talk about it if you can work secretly.

[Indrawan77]

A lot of people still hasn't able to accept bitcoin yet, some people still think bitcoin as a fraud things, I seldom tell anyone I engage in crypto, because some of them will spread negative aura, and start to give fud information so I never really talk to all of my friends that I trade or invest in crypto

[Kevin77]

Not to everyone but professionally yes. Sometimes I talk with some people in politics world (I have a small network of people in one of the leading parties in our country so I am known in politics in a small scale by local people) and I do hide it from them, I do not want them to know about it, its not like its illegal or I am doing anything bad but I just do not want to go on explaining it to each and every one of them, that would make no sense at all and I would be super tired after like 10th person.

Nevertheless, my family and friends and all those close people to me know about it and actually laugh about it a lot. Back in the day when it first started they all thought it was a game currency like world of warcraft gold so when I went into it they didn't understand it and now I am mocking them and they are mocking themselves too and we have fun.

It's a common scenario as people have different approaches. This is why most of the people including me tend to just keep it by ourselves (you aren't responsible to share everything what you know) so there will be no issue amidst making yourself more profitable than what your get from your full time job.  

The only thing one is liable to keep to oneself is intellectual properties and not general things like trading, what is trading to keep from people? If the inventor of this trading system had kept the idea to himself, would all of us ever benefit what we are benefiting now that we are all hoarding?

If the great satoshi has also kept this system of cryptocurrency to himself alone, would we have benefited anything from it. Provided the information require is all over there on the internet, it would be a privilege for me to know that I also made an impact in the life of someone, after all the market is not something we can have to ourselves alone.

We have both the same characters. I also to have secrets in my trading. I buy coins and sell them at my own risk. I set up my indicators and analysis good only for me. For what? Not because I want to take advantage to others but I want to hush it so that I will not be blamed nor laughed when I lose a lot.

Its simply because others don't want to make money more than you.

I will tell them definitely about what I am doing but will never reveal any things about how to do it.

Come on man, there is no need to drop each other and be jealous of your own friends, if you love your friends, of course you will be happy to see them succeed, and that is the opposite. I spread bitcoin trade to anyone of my friends, and I was very happy if they wanted to ask.
