Would you rather trade markets with $80k or work a job from home making $115k?

Been paper trading and seems I'd make more than my job with the money I'm just keeping in the bank, but it also seems I might go crazy thinking about charts 24/7 and whether I might fuck up. I'm just stacking cash to eventually buy btc whenever it crashes again.

paper trading is not a good indication of how you'll perform with real money

What kind of WFH job?

How do you paper trade well?

>>60612334
This guy is probably right. Slowly increase the money you use, and see if you can persist in a bad bear market?
Keep milking the job, do it in your free time, you won't have a job soon, so grab as much as you can.

You should be doing both you fucking retard. If you needed someone else to tell you this you should keep your job because you are too stupid to trade successfully.

>>60612334
I mean, I write exactly where I'd buy and the sell order and I have the exchange open to make sure there's the liquidity open and avaibility to do it (exchange isnt down)

I've won the past 10 paper trades so seems I do it well, but I could have also just bought and held and it would have been a similar profit given everything's been going up. Might have been better off just buying when there was blood on the streets and selling bit by bit from the recovery, idk.
>>60612347
True, but honestly rather pick one or the other. Trade markets or just work my job and stack BTC.

>>60612325 (OP)
every time i open integrity dao chart on dextools and see no new buys
i feel like it’s testing me
chart just floats there
staring me with those puppy eyes on the buy button

>>60612334
Does not matter. The question was trade with 80 or wage for 115 remote. Everything else is irrelevant. So my pick would be either. Because I have a lazy trade style and the 115 would be doing something i enjoy. Either way I win this.

Paper trading is whole different game. When your positions are down 6 weeks worth of your day job, in one week and then you realize you quit your job, things get serious fast

Trading with account worth less than your current income sounds retarded imo

You need multiples of your current income bare minimum

> 10
OK, I'm no richfag, and even they don't know shit mostly, but I'd say: Let AI unemploy you, it will be soon enough. Do not quit now. In particular because you said holding would have been the same. You probably can trade on the side at home. Start with a small budget like 5k, and try to increase your moneys. Try that again in the bear market. By the time the bear market is in full swing, you will be unemployed anyways, so I'd suggest learn that shit now, but do not quit your job. We are not in times where being comfortable or anything matters, we are heading towards the extinction of the middle class in the coming two decades, and you are on the front lines. Economically and health wise, white collar workers are on a worse trajectory than <insert illegal historical comparison>.

>work a job from home making $115k?
Ill take this. Wage for several years, once I hit $1m net I retire while making incone off trading.

>>60612598

I'd rather just work from home than snd make $115k.

>>60612325 (OP)
its harder than you think.
all the geniuses saying if only i could scalp 1% a day or 1% a week are larping.

try to make some consistent returns with 10k and see if you can handle more.
its much much harder than you think

>>60614455
True. I guess I have a few years left before it's joever. Will probably just take the biggest loan possible when btc hits the bear market. One last Hail Mary. For now, I'll just stack cash and try to build whatever little ai-proof income streams I can. That or another job.
>>60614505
probably a safer bet, yeah.
>>60615291
what exactly is so stressful? doesn't it become less stressful as you get used to it? at least that's been my hope. My current job used to be really stressful for 6 months, then now 4 years in it's mostly cozy. I only want to stop because I hate meetings and having to stay in USA. If it's never going to be less stressful, then I guess I might as well just go all in stacking bitcoin in the bear market (rn all in cash since we're late cycle).

That’s fucking retarded anon, 80k of capital is definitely not enough, one bad trade and you blow your entire future.

>>60612325 (OP)
'trading' doesn't work in the way you think it does and as soon as you're in a position where you're unemployed and digging into your savings to continue your trades after you fuck up once or twice the psychological stress associated with making a bad trade will cause you to be more cautious when placing good trades, causing you to make less money, causing you to slowly become poorer or break even.

Working and then reinvesting makes the most sense. Even if you "only" retire at 45 after a career in industrial banking softwaring lawyering instead of the /biz/ meme dream of finding the next bitcoin or whatever, you're better off with 115,0000 (80k after tax or whatever) as the cost of rent, tax, food, healthcare etc. will eat you alive unemployed.

>>60615725
Yeah, guess I'll close out my tradingview and just stack btc for the next decade. I hope it hits 1M by then. This is pretty much my only other option. I just feel i'm losing my youth doing stuff I don't really like year after year waiting for my real life to begin.

>>60615708
it has mostly to do with the unpredictable nature of markets.
your job is probably very predictable.

it will be less stressful when you know how to behave whichis something you get to in 4 to 5 years and even then, you probably are not ready.

>>60615718
>one bad trade
thats how all in retards think.

its a giant worldwide poker tournament.
if you're into that, then go for it.
its not for the stupid and faint-hearted.
its for the very smart and bold and those who do think they are exceptional in some way

also, if you can't spot the retard, then it's probably you.
this is really important. you must know why you deserve to come out on top.
your advantage, your edge.

>>60615782
how old are you?

>>60615838
I'm 28. I also stacked 100k through my 401k but pretty much fumbled all extra saved money through alt coins or business ideas. At this point I think my best bet is just stacking bitcoin with half my paychecks however long it takes. If I only did this from the start I would have made it by now, but better late than never i guess.
