Anybody left your day job for bitcoin

Either for promotion and helping bitcoin to go mainstream like Andreas Antonopolus taking on bitcoin full time

or quitting your tyrannical or boring day job or college just because you got very rich with all those massive price gain.

Tell your experience

For sure there will be people like that. Sad it wasn't me, though.

I did, but its temporary, for now.

Had to pick between have degree and learn, and to work or study about investments and better ways to earn money.


Plus with day job I would have less time to post, and trades would be less profitable

I was recently laid off because my non-profit was operating at a loss thanks to convoluted and ever-changing insurance industry red tape in the USA.

I am bleeding BTC to pay my rent and I'm looking for work in NYC, if you know of anything Bitcoin related (especially sales or entry-level IT) please shoot me a PM.

Or if you're Bitcoin-rich and value my contributions to this community: 1L41W2xu85hHBrdt1KkHPC4rSS9z1mY2BR

Thanks, folks.

I spend my days in my parents' basement, and I've recently started climbing out of the basement to check bitcoin prices.  Does that count?

I am planning to do so. As a benefit of my wife's job as a professor I get to take classes at her university for free. Once I learn coding and web design I plan to take the leap.

I put in my two-week notice around then and lasted 4 more days.

Nope, not that fortunate. Then again, I'm pretty content with what I have...At least for now.

Hell, I'll be honest, my goal is to retire by the time I'm 50. I'm still well ahead of schedule.

YYYY-MM-DD is customary in USA. It presumes to answer the thread title question.

I left mine.  It's probably more like a sabbatical than anything.

I put in my two-week notice around then and lasted 4 more days.

My last day was 2013-04-04.

Two week notice was given prior.

Never looked back although the job was an awesome work place.
