The question is : Is this not a bit premature to leave your full-time job to focus on something that are not even properly regulated and technologically matured? Some people might argue that early adopters might gain the edge over their competition, if they enter early.
Would you risk a stable income from a full-time job, to gamble on a experiment that has not yet matured?
Props to those who had the balls to go all in on BTC like that and leave their day jobs. I'm pretty risk averse, so I could never do that personally. I've just been buying a bit here and there for years, watching the charts and trading a bit. Fortunately I have my own office at work, so my bitcoin chart addiction isn't an issue for my job (most of the time).
I considered trying to trade bitcoin and altcoins for a living a while back, but ultimately decided against it. Too much stress day-to-day. As much as I hate working a job, I just couldn't do it.
