You are a high risk-taker, anyway, you made it and it is time to demonstrate that you actually made a good decision, breaking one for rest period of your life.
Seeing how volatile and exciting this market is I've decided to quit my job and earn for a living with trading.
Crypto market is totally different than stock market. Both of them manipulated by news, but crypto is more vulnerable with news than stock. Emotion is another key component of crypto market on crypto traders and investors.
I felt confident with my 3 years trading experience on stocks. Since now i don't know if that was right decision. Emotional roller-coaster every day.
You made a good example about the role of forum in crypto. It is the essential place to get news, information, as well as to discuss, and learn valuable things. When merit system launched more than one year ago, lots of shitposters asked for removing the merit system, or demands of a fork from bitcointalk forum. It's one of the biggest joke I have ever seen in the forum. Bitcointalk-forked forum.

To have additional income and still be able to control my trades i started doing bounties. That's how I've found Bitcointalk (I am not proud of the reasons why I came here). After a while on forum i found out that BTT its great place with interresting community. I've quit bounties and start to contribute for community. Sharing my maths/economy analysis with others. Discussing with others. It's started to be very relaxing and helps me not thing about trades all the time.
