don't quit your job

[Ab de villiers]

Quitting a job, especially since I have invested in Bitcoin, is not an easy decision because the returns as well as the risks in Bitcoin are quite high and the market can move unexpectedly at any time. A job provides a stable income from which we manage our daily expenses and family responsibilities. If a person quits their job and starts any kind of investment without proper experience, the financial pressure on them increases. The better approach is for everyone to continue their work and at the same time start investing in Bitcoin with a small amount.Only when one has a good understanding of the market and starts making consistent profits should one think about bitcoin.

Let me ask you-

What would be your source of income if you suddenly quit your job to go full-time cryptocurrencies?
What would be your contingent plan in the event that the price of BTC drops and you are in dire need of cash?
What would be the means of paying your obligations daily?

I know that investing in cryptocurrencies is the key for financial stability in the future. But if you go all-in without fully planning the next years of your life, then results may be the opposite of what you planned in the first place.

Do NOT quit your job just because you invested in BTC. Use the latter as your means of accumulating more cryptocurrencies in the future. Lastly, use your job in order to pay all of your liabilities and obligations- never ever rely it on an investment that can yield you no absolute means of success.

Well to be honest, quitting your job and going all in into crypto currency is not a wise decision,
The reason is that investment is for the future, but what will you do that will be able to sustain you?
You have to do something that will keep food on your table, apart from that, Bitcoin profits may have good positive potentials but the bitter truth is that good harvest from Bitcoin is not guaranteed even if it looks clear, so if anything bad happens in the future via Bitcoin, there will still be somewhere you can rely on Wich is your job. And it is as simple as that, keep you job once you are now financial stable as a result of crypto then you can quit. Let the results speak.

i know it is just a meme but personally i do not understand those who say they quit their jobs because they believe bitcoin will go to 1 million.

i believe bitcoin will go to 1 million but i am not going to quit my job and sit around waiting for that to happen unless i am already at my retiring age. i need to find other sources of income, whether that's within the bitcoin ecosystem or not, in order to continue buying more bitcoin in order to be prepared when i finally am ready to sell and when bitcoin has already hit a million in value.

besides, if you are at a point of instability wherein you will need to apply to mcdonalds just because bitcoin dropped for a few thousand dollars then i do not think you should be quitting your job at all.

Do people really quite their job because of bitcoin?
Offcourse bitcoin is a real deal and sure life changer, but do I really need to sit irle because I know i have bitcoin somewhere and expects that it will hit millions? If yes then that is were i get it all wrong.
Except for a person who has turned bitcoin into a business and your time and attention is totally taken into that business then you can give your total to it and quite your job. But for others bitcoin should be a side hustle.   You can even start up something with the funds you gather from bitcoin.

So much talk about people quitting their jobs nowadays, especially among the generation z. Thankfully AIs are going to replace human labor soon, so we can get rid of this bullshit. People who wish to work will continue working, and those who don't want any responsabilities will have an universal basic income to get satisfied living in an idle way.

In every cases, the illusion of living from crypto is just a marketing attempt from social influencers to deceive the audience into believing it's a get rich quick scheme, a magical formula to solve every financial problems overnight. Serious investors are into crypto, while also working and investing in another categories of assets as well.

Quitting your job solely because Bitcoin is rising is a risky thinking.That kind of confidence should be questioned as it may be emotional driven and not strategic.

I won't question someone's confidence if they want to quit and they've made so much money from their holdings. That also means that they can easily find new jobs if ever their decision about quitting has failed and it's not sustainable.

Financial freedom doesn't rely on a single stream of income.I strongly advice against depending on one stream of income even big investors tend to diversify their earnings because of the potential risks and volatility.

It depends on the situation and it can rely on one single stream of income if the holdings you've got is equal to million dollars. That can make someone retire and want to quit their jobs if that's the value of what they're holding.

[Hypnosis00]

Quitting will never be the safest option, that will only put yourself into a lot of pressures and stress. But learn to manage your time instead, that way you can still maximize your bitcoin while you are still doing productive with your own day job.

Seeing bitcoin price reaching $1m is always possible, but we don't know when will bitcoin hit that point. That's why patience is a must, and being impulsive in decision making has no place here. I know we all know about this, but constant reminder like this will definitely makes sense for all newbies out there.

[osasshem]

Quitting one's job because of the increase in the price of Bitcoin is a very poor sight of confidence in the crypto market. We know very well how volatile the price of Bitcoin can be, I learnt from this forum that putting all your eggs in one basket is not a wise decision to make as an investor, trader or even as a regular crypto enthusiast. If as a whale and has created a system of continuous flow of income, that's a different thing entirely.

[HelliumZ]

You should not quit your job just by relying on Bitcoin because in this case you have to maintain a regular source of income. Bitcoin is never a regular source of income because you will not get a regular source of income from Bitcoin. Moreover, if you depend on the nature of the Bitcoin market, you will definitely have to face financial problems most of the time.

But if you depend on a regular income, especially on a job, and also invest or hold Bitcoin, then it is definitely okay. But leaving your job and relying only on Bitcoin will be completely foolish and will definitely lead to financial problems.

This is something people that who are overconfident can do but it's absolutely stupid, quitting your job because you are holding Bitcoin and you think that's the best thing to do because it has the potential to reach a certain amount, that's a wrong mentality to have. The crypto market is unstable, remember that once a dip takes place sometimes it takes the months before the market recovers. It is better to have a job and keep your investment running than to quit your job, you might end up being in regret when you do this, relying on Bitcoin is dangerous.

That’s just stupid to do, I mean come on, in 2025 with all the AI services available you can just use one of them and ask a simple question and get a simple response and explanation why you should quit your job after investing in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. First, Bitcoin cannot go up 10x in few weeks or even months without so many bullish phases.

To get a good profit that can cover your daily expenses and give you a better life, you will need at least to hold 1 Bitcoin, and if you have that amount or money, probably you can invest in so many other places and open projects.

Bitcoin profits may have good positive potentials but the bitter truth is that good harvest from Bitcoin is not guaranteed even if it looks clear, so if anything bad happens in the future via Bitcoin, there will still be somewhere you can rely on Wich is your job. And it is as simple as that, keep you job once you are now financial stable as a result of crypto then you can quit. Let the results speak.

what people expect from bitcoin is it will rise consistently and this creates expectations that cannot be fulfilled. hence why memes like that exist. it’s funny but if you’re quitting your job expecting bitcoin to not be volatile then you are doomed

Totally agreed. So many people don't even understand how cryptocurrencies work, their knowledge comes from some so-called crypto influencers they watch on YouTube who don't have enough knowledge themselves and whatever they say in their videos is copied from other sources that they don't even give any credits to, so you can't expect much from such people because they will surely not be able to understand that cryptocurrencies are not supposed to seen as get-rich-quick schemes because they don't work that way, and the matters are made even worse by the meme coins and news related to them circulating around the internet, any newbies that reads about a meme coin making someone rich, they start thinking that they can also be in their place.

Anyway, those quitting their jobs only so that they can start earning a living through cryptocurrencies are surely delusional if they are doing it without proper planning and understanding of what they are doing, and besides, one can do that if they have a capital and want to pursue a career in trading after gaining enough knowledge, but it's foolish to think that one can make a living only through investments.

‎I agree with you, quitting a stable job because you feel bitcoin will pump is a mistake. What if it doesn't happen? then you will now go and apply for another job. Relying on Bitcoin alone without having other sources of income is not practical. When you have a Job you can use part of the salary to keep accumulating Bitcoin. This helps to build a better position over time without affecting your daily needs. Long term success and growth in Bitcoin requires patience, discipline, and maintaining other income sources, not chasing sudden wealth.

i know it is just a meme but personally i do not understand those who say they quit their jobs because they believe bitcoin will go to 1 million.

Because bitcoin has become a "lucky lottery ticket worth millions" in people's eyes, and accordingly, they overestimate their ability to own this asset. Any money eventually runs out. "Easy and quick" money runs out even faster. And here comes the old adage about risk diversification and the need to have multiple sources of income to avoid being left vulnerable in the event of unforeseen circumstances. Having a job (with bitcoin) provides more benefits (financial stability) than simply owning bitcoin.

i believe bitcoin will go to 1 million but i am not going to quit my job and sit around waiting for that to happen unless i am already at my retiring age. i need to find other sources of income, whether that's within the bitcoin ecosystem or not, in order to continue buying more bitcoin in order to be prepared when i finally am ready to sell and when bitcoin has already hit a million in value.

It's always good to accumulate and increase your "wealth", as long as it doesn't harm other aspects of your life.

And ultimately, it's boring to sit idly by, because the "hunt" for wealth is a kind of game, providing its own kind of pleasure both in the process and in the results achieved.

besides, if you are at a point of instability wherein you will need to apply to mcdonalds just because bitcoin dropped for a few thousand dollars then i do not think you should be quitting your job at all.

What if I got a job at McDonald's because they pay (will pay) for work in bitcoins (as Steak ’n Shake)?

[Bitcoin_people]

If someone quits their job by investing in Bitcoin and hoping to see the value of Bitcoin at $1 million, then it will be the most wrong decision for them. Because the price of Bitcoin will reach this level but not soon but after a long wait, if someone quits their job to wait for such a long time, then they will definitely be very disappointed. Their financial condition will also continue to deteriorate day by day, so it is best if they can invest and wait while they are working. If they only wait and rely on Bitcoin by investing, then I do not see any profit, rather it will cause damage to their daily life. That is why it is most important to do an alternative business or job along with Bitcoin investment and if you invest in Bitcoin for a long time, you should definitely never quit your job.

[B2Z]

Even if you are a Bitcoin investor, I will not advise you to quit your job, but I will tell you that you try to increase your source of income so that when one stops, another one comes to you at the end of every month. The purpose of us who are investors is that we are investing so that we can profit a good amount of money from the investment at the end of a certain period of time, now if someone quits his job with this hope, how will he continue and how will he maintain the continuity of the investment. Suppose the price of Bitcoin reaches one million dollars, but it is not happening very quickly, that means now those who bought one Bitcoin yesterday or in a month but do not see this big change, so if they go to one million and keep waiting for this and quit their jobs, then it may create financial problems for them later.

[Orpichukwu]

This reminds me of the below meme which I saved from Reddit:


It's no longer about the expected gains anymore, but once people start getting some profit from crypto, they think it's very easy to continue making it from that time forth, and they want to start being rude or consider quitting their job because it appears to no longer be accommodating to them, which is a bad decision they do make. It's not always about the profit you have not gotten your hand in, but it's about what you have been able to get for your own self. If both that crypto and the job are no longer there, can you survive on your own.

[Ishicryptic]

To be honest most young people wants the easy life that they will do nothing except playing around on social media and have their returns on investment bringing them money to sustain the good life. This is the same reason many young people are scammed by influencers into believing that trading is very easy, all they need to do is sit in their comfort zone and register for a course and within a short time they will be making a lot money in trading.

Bitcoin is a volatile asset and you cannot expect the price to be going up repeatedly and keep giving you profit it doesn't work like that, bear run will come as we are experiencing it now and it is a time to buy and wait for it to grow on the long term. I know a lot of people that predicted Bitcoin to reach $200k last year so they can take profit but it didn't happen, Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme.

[Agbe]

Aha! How can one quit his or job because of bitcoin. That investors doesn't understand bitcoin investment. Bitcoin investment is not a get quick rich scheme. It is even the job that will help you to hold onto the investment for a long time. If the person wants to make good profit from the investment he has to stay in the investment and also use some percentage of his salary to invest in bitcoin every Month to increase his accumulation.
