don't quit your job

[summonerrk]

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.

The trouble with these guys is that they may even be supported by an absolutely correct technical investment strategy, but they invest very little money in their daily lives. And as soon as they need more money for everyday life, these guys have to withdraw this money from trading. Because of this, they cannot stay in a trading position for a long time, and even when bitcoin goes up later, they are already out of the market and have been recorded in negative profit.

And this is a really sad story - guys who trade well, but do not understand how much money they need for a living.

I have a great example to people who plan to hold bitcoin and quit their jobs because they expect bitcoin to reach astronomical prices. About 5-6 years ago, people were quitting jobs because bounty campaigns and participating in them with multiple accounts were much more profitable than doing 9-5 office jobs. Look at bounty section now. It is fighting with death, trying to survive. Where are those people now? Most be flipping burgers right now.

The volatility of the Bitcoin market alone should teach you something that you should not just depend on crypto or Bitcoin to resign your job. A job guarantees you job security against the period of want and scarcity against depending on Bitcoin which market is unpredictable. I do not advise anybody to resign their job just because they made some profit from Bitcoin. If they established a good business they can manage then there is no problem about that but in a situation where they resign when they have no other backup plans just because they got some Bitcoin, then they should be ready for the crash that is coming their way.

It's good to not put eggs in one basket so that when on fails you hold on to the other, because no one actually knows the future.
However, I think their should be a reasonable reason for one to do that, basically if you don't have the time to run Bitcoin investment or business and with your work, too if you have enough of money and you've realised a very lucrative opportunity in Bitcoin to venture into and some fortune that's way more better than your 9-5 job.

Bitcoin investment is not a source of income so it will be a big mistake if we quit our jobs or stop doing our business because we are investing in Bitcoin and also believing that Bitcoin will hit 1m, Bitcoin does not guaranteed us to be successful and moreover we to have a job or a source of income so we can still be accumulating Bitcoin without stopping half way, Bitcoin may do well it may also not do well so we shouldn't do what we will regret in a near time, we need to keep our jobs and also invest in Bitcoin with money we can afford to loss. Bitcoin is volatile so we shouldn't just depend on it.

Anyone who only has a single income source, such as a job, will be sorely disappointed when it ends for whatever reason. Don't quit hustling. But don't depend on a job to secure all your current and future needs. Diversify your income sources as well as your investments.

I think that that is really important.

[Pablo-wood]

It's always about wether to quit their job or to continue. Some say that you have to quit when you earn a huge profit while others will say to continue their job to acquire more bitcoin or to have more than one source of income. For me, I believe that it's okay to have job even if you are into bitcoin as to have another source of income since it's not every time you will get money on bitcoin so you will surely need to have a steady source of money like a job.

Having our jobs will even give us more flexibility in saving our Bitcoin. There will be more room to save our coin and even boast our strategy. If the source of income isn't diversified we might run into expenses that will cost us our entire bitcoin but when the income is from different streams it cover up for unforeseen expenditures and also help define our investment goals with better clarity, defined goals and better plan/strategy.

The mistake of thinking that always happens is that when some get a big profit they think it is very sufficient for their lives, even though when the money is in hand it is certain that it will run out just waiting for time (especially when coupled with an extravagant lifestyle) making the faster we will lose the money we get.  We should be ashamed that even billionaires today are still doing the work or business they do while we who only profit a fraction of a percent from the investments we make already feel that it can meet our needs forever. It becomes a ridiculous decision in the end when we force ourselves to stop working just because of the profits we have.
Humans always have greed and always try to get more is a good way so that the investment we do is still running and we can also fulfill our life needs from the results of the work we do.

That's a pretty simple decision without considering many things that will happen in life. If the reason for quitting a job is because Bitcoin will reach $1 million, then the question is how much Bitcoin they actually own, so the decision to quit their job has already gone through a long process of considering the impact. Most people involved in Bitcoin investment will undoubtedly believe that Bitcoin will eventually reach $1 million and that's a very strong belief for anyone who understands Bitcoin's history as we see quite strong support for the process leading up to that price.

But if people eventually quit their jobs and only have a small amount of Bitcoin in their wallets, I think that's a foolish decision because without realizing it, even if Bitcoin reaches $1 million, it won't provide anything. Instead, people will think about working hard to earn more money so they can consistently buy Bitcoin as preparation for future financial freedom. Without sufficient financial support, how can anyone achieve investment growth?

The only time you'll quit your job is when you've managed to earn a lot from it, don't quit if you haven't really made money in BTC not only in crypto but in general. If you've managed to gather a lot of money then there's a lot of better options to earn more like making your own business or make a trade more. So yeah, I agree that quitting job without reaching a goal is really non-sense, all of us have vision to Crypto but make it happen first before quitting the job, then learn a lot of skills first before quitting your job so you can be back with a good job if something happened in crypto.

There is something some people fail to,understand, if you have a room full of money gifted to you for free and toy decided to quit your job, that money might only take sometime before it get finish. This is why no matter the millions you have, make sure you have a stream of income that you can depend for the rest of your life, not a life changing money, without it even if. You secure $10m without it you will become broke because you will always want to raise standards with new money.

If you have Bitcoin and it becomes the biggest investment return you ever seen in your life, the let the money be. If you sell it you probably going to cash it for something you don't need but maybe you want. The want things always fade out from human eyes after getting the satisfaction you have always craving for but if you look at Bitcoin market, tne price is always be above what it was some years ago, that's the difference between Bitcoin and other resources.

Quitting your job is a stupid decision especially if you are still starting to navigate your bitcoin investment. Bitcoin price is highly volatile, one day its price is on the top, and on the next days, its price is in dips, so there's no way a responsible person decides to leave his job for good.

But if you are seeing already a brighter future with bitcoin, your time and efforts have started to pay off and offers you life-changing returns, they maybe you can start leaving your job to gain utmost attention to your investment, until you end up diversifying your profits from bitcoin.

That's true, they thought that it is forever but most of the projects were dead now and it's just a trend that has happened to be that good and profitable.

Not all of the trends that comes to the market is staying for so long. Well, if they have earned so much in it and managed to invest into Bitcoin or brick and mortar business.

They're probably flipping burgers for their own burger shops but, I don't think that many of them did wise up with their money during that time.

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.

The point is, does someone choose to quit their job to focus on trading on an exchange? If that's the reason, I think they've made a mistake. Especially if they quit their job because they believe Bitcoin will reach $1 million, even though they only have a few small pieces of one Bitcoin. That's a fatal mistake. I think people should realize that Bitcoin can be used as an investment asset and should hold Bitcoin for as long as possible. Perhaps in the future, Bitcoin could help you achieve financial freedom. But your current job is what supports you and fulfills your needs. So, I believe we need to value our jobs and not quit unless you have another job. Don't rely on hopes of Bitcoin's price rising, because without a job, you'll lose your Bitcoin savings.

Is it possible to build a house without foundation?  If you as ask me the answer is typically No, which ever way the house must have already made foundation, either pit, strip, raft or any kind all is foundation, digressing with this question and example is clear answer to any who feel that he can build Bitcoin without job it means such planning is not well scale because any building with proper foundation must definitely falls easily.

Except the builder or investor in Bitcoin is already made billionaire and has investment in various means that generates income but beginner building Bitcoin and leaving it's Job will not see the end very well. Job while investing in Bitcoin is a catalyst that speed up  patients, consistency, reduced fear, panic and all sort of things that happened within the investment time frame, building Bitcoin without job is like exposing one investment to danger where it can be harm , the danger is that it's hard for the investor to withstand the pressure for money when such demand come without touching the Bitcoin investment mostly when hit by inevitable demand that is life threatening, job is very important it wage war against any thing that will damage your Bitcoin investment mostly when it comes to do with withdrawal before time frame.

This is a very practical view. To believe in Bitcoin long term never meant rejecting any financial stability today. Bitcoin can be volatile, and even when one expects it would someday reach $1M, the timeline for that is uncertain. Hence to quit a well paying job and relying on appreciation of price alone is a risky move, with the exception that such a person is approaching retirement or has strong savings already.

An approach that will be considered more balanced is exactly what you have described: continue with a steady income, expense management and gradually accumulate Bitcoin. Doing so, drops on market do not have to threaten your livelihood. Long term conviction has to go hand in hand with financial discipline,  rather than speculation that can force one to hardship when the market goes against them.

I think that that is really important.

I think the reason why some folks depend so much on their source of income is usually because it pays so well and is able to foot their bills at that moment, so rather than thinking of ways to diversify or sort for other streams of income, they become rather comfortable, believing that it’ll always remain that way, but in reality,  no matter how assuring that job or business might be today, there’s every tendency it won’t be there tomorrow, so people should try to plan ahead of time, rather than waiting till it eventually happens or becomes reality before they start looking for alternatives, trust me it’ll be pretty much harder that way.

Bitcoin will not solve your spiritual problems if you keep depositing Bitcoin. Your psychological idea may be that the value of Bitcoin will reach $1 million in the future. This may be your motivation. Even if the value of Bitcoin does not reach that point, you should not be upset because by accumulating for the long term, you will get a decent holding from which it is possible to earn high profits.

You will have a psychological idea that Bitcoin will reach $1 million in the future, and you will continue to deposit Bitcoin with such a fund that you have the possibility of losing the fund. Because you should be aware of the risks involved with the effort taken for long term Bitcoin accumulation in the hope of getting high profits.

It is a very stupid decision to quit their job they have been doing for years just because of bitcoin that they saw potential in and say they will just trade as if it were that easy to make a profit here in crypto trading,, which is not the case.

It is better for a newbie entering the crypto space to have a regular job or stable business that he can do he can do while he is studying to gradually spend the extra money he has,
and if he has a job,, he can also set aside an allocation amount even if it is small, even if it is in bitcoin.

People quit from job, and the reason could be either you have gotten a better job offer or you want to switch to your own personal business, these two reasons are justifiable or good reasons for quitting from ones job.
In the case of bitcoin going to $1 m , it is a prediction, and prediction can only be true when the expectation has been achieved. Bitcoin is full of potentials, and I believe reaching a million dollar milestone is achievable but that shouldn't make you quit your job before time. While we all anticipate that Bitcoin will achieve this significant milestone, it is important to retain your job, and if possible still buy more Bitcoin. If you have significant amount of bitcoin in your portfolio and Bitcoin reaches a million dollar, that will be a huge some of money, and by then, you can quit your job if you wish to and go fully into esterblishing your own business empire and grow more from there.
