It is very demotivating for me to come into work when in one day I made more money than almost 2 years salary.
You should re-read what you just typed, because there's probably hundreds of people reading your post who have had the exact same feeling with some altcoin before, then they tried to ride the profits higher and they vaporized taking them back to square one. The fact is, the second any type of life changing profits occur, the price always craters right after. What % bitcoin can rise in a short duration before said action occurs is up for debate though. Having any type of life changing profit occur and then not taking any profit off the table is the definition of insanity.
Profit in what? A currency that will likely go away in the next 10 years due to a debt bubble and more wars?
I stay at work mainly because it allows me to continue my high risk investment without worry of starving if it goes to zero. If I were to quit I would buy real estate or something that will sustain me for decades.
