As the crypto market heats up, many are once again shouting "All in Web3." But before going full-time into Web3, take a moment to read this article and understand some key considerations.
In short:
-
How to know if you're ready
-
Job security and what happens when the bear market comes
-
Cash flow, responsibilities, expenses
-
Discipline and confidence
Overall, if you're considering going full-time into crypto now, you're not too late—but with the halving approaching, the golden window is rapidly closing.
If you wait another 12 months, the bull run might already be over, leaving only a few months of altcoin season to capitalize on before the next bear market begins.
So what should you do?
Simply put: Your cash reserves plus investments should be several times your current annual income, and you must have proven—to yourself and others—that you can consistently generate strong returns regardless of which area of the market you focus on.
If you can't turn various portfolios into solid profits or aren't capable of trading perpetual contracts, NFTs, or on-chain tokens successfully, don't quit your job.
Assuming you can do it and want to leave your job, what's next?
I suggest you consider the worst-case scenarios:
-
What if you lose everything? Do you have enough savings and liquidity to start from zero and fight your way back?
-
How is your operational security? When exhausted, if you accidentally click a malicious link, could your wallet be drained? Do you use multiple cold wallets, and do you know how to instruct your family to recover your assets in case something happens to you?
-
What are your expenses? Do you have a family or children to support, or are you in your twenties with minimal expenses, thus able to take high risks?
-
What if crypto fails? Do you have a fallback career path? Can you return to education or find work through alternative routes?
If you have answers to these questions, then you may be ready to go full-time in Web3.
Next:
-
What does your network in the crypto space look like? How strong are your trading flows, insider information, and market signals gained through close connections?
-
Are you someone who can thrive independently without external support?
-
Do you plan to build relationships and grow your network during this cycle?
Most people overlook the importance of social capital in crypto. If you have writing and speaking skills, becoming a KOL with a following can also help ease your transition into full-time work.
Then ask yourself the following questions:
-
What is the cost of *not* going full-time in Web3? Is your trading suffering? Are you burned out from juggling your day job and crypto?
-
If you lost your job, would you have enough discipline to manage your time? Would you spend all day relaxing and doing nothing, or would you maintain professional habits—researching projects, identifying promising tokens, and getting early exposure to new narratives?
-
Do you know how to sustainably take profits? Do you have a clear benchmark for knowing when you're in a hot streak, and when to withdraw cash to your bank account to avoid overtrading and blowing up?
If you have a backup plan so that even in bad times, your life won’t be severely impacted (i.e., 1–2 years of untouched savings allowing you to live normally), and you understand how to navigate this bull cycle and have a solid track record in the market, then you may indeed be ready to go full-time in Web3.
Personally, I decided to quit not because I hit a specific number, but after simply calculating that in some months, my earnings equaled nearly ten years of my previous salary—and my job stress was interfering with seizing market opportunities. Of course, even if the next bear market hits, I have more than enough cash to cover living expenses.
You might feel the same—you may just want to stop doing a terrible job. But the key is to calculate and plan your finances carefully, honestly ask yourself whether you’re truly ready for full-time Web3, and have a clear roadmap.
Otherwise, you’re likely to fail and end up deeply regretful, with reduced income and possibly needing to restart your career years later.
Alright. This is a solid enough guide—hopefully it helps you.
