  • Option B: Reduce to 10 hrs/week + $1,023 bot income = $1,623/month (same as full-time gig)
  • Option C: Stop driving + $1,023 bot income = $1,023/month (if expenses are low enough)

FAQ: Crypto Bots for Gig Workers

Q: I live paycheck to paycheck. Can I still do this?

A: Start with $50-100. It's one less fast food meal per week. At 10% monthly, $100 becomes $314 in 12 months. Small starts compound.

Q: What if I can't check bots during a shift?

A: Bots run automatically. You don't need to check them. Checking is optional โ€” it's just monitoring. Bots trade whether you look or not.

Q: Can I manage bots while driving?

A: No โ€” never use your phone while driving. Check bots during stops, between rides, or during breaks. Safety first.

Q: Is this better than working more hours?

A: Yes. More hours = more fatigue, more wear on your car, more risk. Bots add income without adding hours, fatigue, or wear.
