It seems stupid to stay at a job and earn money that you don't need. I would only stay at a job if it allowed me to do something that I couldn't otherwise do.

There has been studies and books written about people who win the lottery and/or acquire wealth (and stop working).
Traveling the world gets old. You don't need to be rich to travel. I've been to almost 40 countries myself. I'll say this about "traveling"
- You spend a lot of time in bars / restaurants (things you can do at home) - Eventually seeing new landmarks / museums gets old and you go "meh" - You DO get bored on vacation, all the time. - Dealing with trains / bus / rental is a pain. - "friends of convenience", eventually you realize these people you partied with in foreign hostels / hotels you'll never see again.
I listen to a few radio shows hosted by millionaires and see the reality TV shows - their lives aren't any different from ours. Most of them are planked on the sofa and, if it wasn't for the socialite activities, most would be bored to tears.
Most very rich people occupy themselves with some sort of career, some host on the radio (like the people I listen to), others are venture capitalist (who technically work for almost no money compared to their net worth), et cetera.
Really the only benefit I see from money is security but it's a false security, maybe the security from never being forced to work but you'll have plenty of people trying to steal said wealth from you (women, the banks, et al).

I would stay in my job for at least a year and give myself plenty of time to think about what I can do in the future. I might start a company on something i really enjoy doing. Probably develop one of my hobbies into a business. My general direction would be to setup investments which can give me regular income to support my daily expenses and then start a business with the left over income, so I never spend any of the capital.

This thread, like many others on this forum, is improved by a careful reading wherein you replace all the "ifs" with "whens".
The dollar, yuan, and euro are going to implode sooner or later. All empires collapse in time. This is inevitable. When they do, crypto will be waiting to absorb the wealth.
Which side of the equation do you want to be sitting on, dear reader, when that happens? Think carefully.

Definitely self-employment. Do do whatever I find interesting, and have the freedom to switch to different projects/fields whenever bored. Learn computer programming. Do that a bit. Learn web design - do that. Write books, movie scripts, whatever. Maybe start some bitcoin-related business. But the point is having the freedom to do what you enjoy.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Honestly, I think everyone reading this who has 3+ BTC should throw caution to the wind, quit their jobs now, default on all their debt and live as cheaply as possible.
Eat catfood if you must, it's better than eating shit forty hours a week as someone's wage-slave profit-bitch.

I am surprised nobody pointed out that being unemployed is illegal, especially if you do not have a high social status. And currently 3BTC is worth less than $3000. It is advisable to have at least 3 month's savings before doing anything rash.

Rather than eating shit, you can start your own business or do freelancing. I am someone who works close to 70 hours a week. But since I do freelancing, I am not complaining about the workload.

You are never "filthy rich". You can never be too rich.

I would definitely stay in my job, or possibly pursue something using my newfound wealth. Hoping for dem buy orders to fill so that this can become a reality!

I don't know if most people realize, but you're actually serious with that advice...right?

I would find a hobby that makes you money. That way it doesn't feel like work and you won't be bored.. You can be a professional day trader or a porn star.

Trading is hard work.
