Hey, any news? For how long already are you earning your living by trading?
Maybe OP earned more than what he or she earned before the resigned from the formal job, but the truth must be said that, the current situation with the price of cryptocurrency now, it will take a good trader to make a reasonable profit at this time. Categorically, i wouldn't encourage OP to focus or channel all his energy on this, as making a living will be more harder than he/she thought.
Yes that could have been the case because you only quit the job when you have enough resources available and can take care of your expenditure in case there is a bearish market in trading coins. Normally it is considered a kind of risk and when you take risk, you might suffer in the process as well but in the end, it pays off so if you can handle things is a good way, go for it.
