Not really applies to all. What if I quit my job and now owns business. My formula is I work 9-5 = I'm a corporate slave |

What's a full time bitcoiner? A person that works in a bitcoin-related occupation, or an early adopter who is now a millionaire?
I was thinking the same way. In the first case, that's still a job, so no quit there. In the second case, no need to quit any job. Unless you want to, but you don't need to quit to be this kind of bitcoiner. |

I prefer to call it "semi-retirement" or "between careers".

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Have you quit your job to become a full time bitcoiner?
LOL -- i wish. it'll be a while. if we can bubble up to $50k, i might be able to retire and live on a modest income. $100k and i would have to seriously consider cashing out most of my coins. |

Nope, can't afford to yet... Bitcoin only gives me a small income for now but should become full time in about a year or two when the price grows.  |

I wish I had a job to quit, but bitcoin helps in the long run. I'm kicking myself for not investing a large amount of money in 2011 when I first found out about this forum and the price of BTCitcoin was like $14 bucks. Hell I'm kicking myself for when it was even lower than that. I kind of laughed it off because of a server I hang out on IRC a dude kept telling me about the price of bitcoin, kind of egging me on. Even then when they went really low before going up again I could have probably bought at least 10 BTC because everyone has some spare change right?
I guess looking back, I didn't think of the profitability and honestly I was a little put off by mining (when I first learned of bitcoin I was CPU mining on an atom dell notebook, real smart right?) and it was not showing me ANY kind of reward so I thought whatever and completely stopped coming here and mining.
If only, if only, if only.

i totally understand that. i found out about bitcoin in 2010 and actually solo mined a block after mining for a few weeks. but then i just sort of forgot about it, they weren't worth much so i didn't care. never backed up the wallet and lost the coins. after a year of trading.... i am almost back to my original stash of 50 BTC.... |

Ugh so lucky, when I forgot about it I think every wallet that I had because for some reason I thought having multiple wallets was ok were lost to the sea. Maybe there was enough for one full BTCitcoin in there I don't know but there's no use crying over it now. |

I have quit my crappy job but It had nothing to do with bitcoin/cryptocoins.
I quit because I realized that time is scarce. I am dying (in a methaphoric sense that everyone dies eventually) as you read this. I do not have a lot of time. Spending MY time just so that I can escape to leisure for 15 vacation days a year (This is actually GENEROUS vacation time for US companies)-- that's not success, but a most profound kind of failure in my opinion.

Not really applies to all. What if I quit my job and now owns business. My formula is I work 9-5 = I'm a corporate slave Exactly. Many people seem to be confused what a full time bitcoiner is. I would say it is anyone who can make a living from bitcoin related profits. This could mean buying and selling via lbc, daytrading, running a btc related biz, posting all day for sig ad campaign dough...whatever. |

Indeed. Ask anyone doing 25 years in prison if they would take $1 million to do another 25 years and they dont get it until their time is completely up. I bet they'd tell you hell no. I hate trading my finite time for freaking peanuts. That's why I love bitcoin because it offers me a way out of this rat race. |

Found a good essay about why most people work, it's a good read for people who are still on the fence about what to do with their life. "Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (The Real Reason For The Forty-Hour Workweek)" http://www.filmsforaction.org/news/your_lifestyle_has_already_been_designed/The authors' points remind me a lot of "The Century of Self"--- a documentary about how the consumer mindset was formed starting in the 1920's. A good read. |

My plan was to start making small trades for BTC with whatever money I could find, and start to build up some kind of secure fund for the future, unfortunately each time I have any money I end up needing it to eat.
No I really can't quit a job I don't have, and I can't spare the money I don't have. I do small jobs on amazon turk for amazon money, I can't transfer that into bitcoin money as much as I wish I could.
