Working as a civil servants have always been my thing, I work from Monday to Friday which to me is normal, I feel proud doing it until I started trading bitcoin.
Trading started making me see things differently, because I no longer wait for my monthly salary, now I earn money daily and week, due to the kind of large amount of money I make in trading I fell out of love for my civil service job, because the money is small but it is still a decent salary.
Note: in trading I earn base on performance, but even though the market is too bad, I still earn a decent amount of money out of it in a month base on my level in trading.
My question is guys which do you prefer, a steady monthly salary which you know that no matter what, it must come once the month ends or a business/ trading/ any other thing which you can do that you earn base on performance and you have the capacity to earn ten fold of what a civil servants might earn if you are good at it, but there is also a possibility that you may have a bad day in the office which you may even incurred some loss.
Which do you prefer an why.
I believe the answer to your question is obvious: you cannot compare a monthly salary with the money you make from trading; trading is based on performance, as you stated, but in the workplace, no one will value your work no matter how much you strive to kill yourself. Instead, it is preferable that you concentrate on trading and make money every day or every week. However, trading is based on your level of expertise rather than just your performance, mate. If you lack this level of expertise, I doubt you will be able to make any more money than you have been making from your monthly payment. Those who trade are very skilled and won't allow anything to happen to their trading fund. You also made the right decision by taking on additional work outside of your job because relying solely on monthly payments is dangerous because it leaves you without anything at all and increases the likelihood that you will run out of money to cover your expenses.
