I have a well paid but soul sucking fiat mining job that I don't really care for. Given Bitcoin price action, might soon be feasible for me to retire early, take a sabbatical, or pivot to something more meaningful but less well compensated.

Has anyone else done or considered this? Would love to hear others thoughts/experiences.

I quit my job 2 weeks ago after they told me to care less about the job that's funding my future.

I like it, follow your passion.

Could you work less, same job, but part time?

Actually, I'm already sorta working part time, just over 30 hours a week on average. Still feels like too much given how mentally exhausting it is.

A new start then. What do you actually want to do? If you could get your 'dream' job or start a business?

Maybe this is my problem, not sure what I actually want to do... need to do some soul searching.

We've all been there. Got any paid leave? I've found time away can really clarify things.

I've quit jobs a couple of times and just travelled to amazing places, sorts me out.

I have a weird schedule. I work 21 days straight then get 7 days off in a repeating pattern. I would like a longer sabbatical to take a long trip overseas, but that's not really possible without quitting my job outright.

You'd need a holiday with that schedule.

It is possible, if you are prepared to live somewhere else cheaply

You could live very happily in eastern Europe, south America, Africa or s.e Asia

For literally 10x less than you're paying now. Better food too

Its definitely an adjustment but you'll meet people who will help you along your journey, locals and expats both. And just come home when you're done

This is much harder if you have a family

Married with kids, might cause some serious familial issues if I pushed for expatriation. I do wish I could though.

I’ve been debating this too. Would love to play more music, but currently that doesn’t cover enough of my expenses. Also only 28 so probably best to keep a day job and keep stacking for now
