Why I Chose Crypto Over a Traditional Job

Two years ago, I was in a stable job, clocking in 9 to 6, five days a week. The salary was okay. The environment was fine. But I felt stuck — not just financially, but mentally.

Then I heard about people earning from home by trading crypto. Honestly, I thought it was all hype. But I started reading, watching videos, and following communities. That's when I discovered platforms like Binance, Bybit, and OKX.

I didn't quit right away. I studied first. I used my lunch breaks to learn technical analysis and weekends to try copy trading. It was Bybit that helped me build confidence — being able to follow proven traders while I was still learning.

I now use multiple exchanges depending on what I need. Bitget is my go-to for futures, while MEXC lets me trade with no KYC stress. Here are the platforms I trust most:
