I've seen how bad people and family gets affected by drinking alcohol. There are people who know their limits and does things in a responsible manner. This have made me think much and I never had the intention to drink. One thing my mind always think, I could've practiced to drink, if so my loss could've got limited. I've lost much in gambling, maybe if I have got the drinking habit, maybe I might've spent much time into drinking than wagering.
Yes people who are addicted to alcohol don't have a responsible manners mostly when they are drunk, they can take any how and also do anyhow, moreover excessive dinking of ALCOHOL is not good, drinking of alcohol should be once in awhile and yes it is also good to know you limits of drinking.

Anyway if you know you can't sway even a tip of an alcoholic beverages is better not to even try it at all. ( Wink ), One thing you don't know is that practicing how to drink alcohol might make you like it or make you turn alcoholic addict (and you know what that means).

Well if you are thinking the other way round like imagining if you were an alcoholic beverages addict you could have saved up some of the money you used in gambling, mate the two opposite are the same because an addicted person is an addicted person wether on the better side or the worse side, nevertheless alcoholic addict is worster than a gambler because once you are drunk you misbehave.
Bitcoin, much like alcohol, is all about understanding and moderation. Dive deep into the blockchain and you'll realize the importance of limits. You mentioned knowing your alcohol limits, but the same applies to Bitcoin investment. Just as one might overindulge in alcohol and regret it, diving into Bitcoin without proper knowledge could be just as harmful.

Balance is the key. Sometimes a beer can solve a problem; similarly, a well-timed Bitcoin investment can resolve financial concerns. But excess in either can lead to disaster. You wouldnt drink without knowing your tolerance, so why invest in Bitcoin without understanding the market?

You're surprised, right?

I found out during the time members were been voted for some forum award[1], before then I have always viewed the operator of the account as a male.

If you stay observant you'll notice that some prominent members are also female and not male as .ost of us thought they were.

It's the internet and everyone feels everybody on it is actually a male, well at least that's what I felt too, then after surfing through the forum all this times, then I now discovered that they are alot of misconception about the male and female gender among forum users. And also this particular contest made it clear for about the true gender of this particular user @BitcoinGirl.Club which almost everyone voted for the award meant for the female gender not knowing she was actually a male.

Well for the bottle of drink I would have skip, for me I think none because I am not a drink kinda guy as I know my head can't carry even a little amount of wine containing little percentage of alcohol.

I never like alcohol, because I have seen many people become ill after drinking alcohol, so I always try to stay away from alcohol. But even if I stay away from alcohol, I drink some soft drinks and juices regularly. Coca Cola Fanta Mountain Dew Sprite These are my favorite orange drinks. In addition to this soft water, I also drink some electrolyte drinks every day, which gives me some energy on my daily walk. Soft drinks and electrolyte drinks cost me about two dollars a day. If I spend two dollars every day, at the end of the month, I can see that my soft drinks cost about 60 dollars, that is, if I calculate such expenses annually, then in a year, I can see that my energy drinks and soft drinks cost me 720 dollars. If I quit drinking soft drinks I would save $770 at the end of the year but these habits would take the joy out of my life so I don't want to give up these habits. I want to earn a little extra money differently and then invest that extra money in Bitcoin.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
As I mentioned in my other topic
Days you need to work your ass at minimum wage for a BTC, by country

I simply got tired of standard figures and numbers, maybe it's funnier and more interesting to see the price in other forms, stuff like the bigmac index although I personally hate PPP as much as one can hate stats. Adding the fact that there is no way in hell I could find reliable up-to-date info for every country and its living standard and current prices, I got a funny idea inspired by LoyceV topic and combining it with one of those spammy low-quality therapy session topics in which newbies tell us for a few merits what chatgpt told them on how to live a fulfilling life, here it is>

So, to drink (alcohol, or cola or tea or whatever  Roll Eyes ) or to buy Bitcoin???


Lifehack: Invest in Bitcoin and brew your own beer. Sell Beer, Buy more BTC. Rinse and repeat.

Beer is infinitely worth less in value because it is a perishable consumable which is not meant to be a long term investment in the first place. So we are comparing apples with oranges here.

I have a feeling that 90% of newbies are just automated AI bots, seeking to build high-level accounts with no effort and then to make money with advertising campaign. That is how I explain the generic chatgpt posts.  

I don't drink very much these days, not alcohol anyhow.  To me it just makes me tired and I lost bodily functions which unless I'm out partying, I don't like that feeling.  I prefer to smoke weed over drinking any day of the week.  It doesn't make me tired or hungry like it does to some (plus I manage it with CBD tinctures).  

But, I have a certain amount of my paycheck that is dedicated to both weed and btc purchases per month.  Keep it as simple as that.  I don't go outside that much.

You should do your lungs a favor and switch to dry-herb vaping with a filter and/or a bubbler add-on. Not only do you get the full taste, it is also nowhere near as harsh on your lungs and throat.

Give all before death


My best drink is a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. It is my favorite because of its low alcohol content and unique taste. I checked online and I saw that our local bottle design and the price is different in diverse countries. In my country one bottle costs about 0.65 United States Dollars. I will have to spare about 46,154 bottles to buy 1bitcoin at 30,000 USD. Cutting my consumption of my drink to buy bitcoin is not a bad idea but the time it will take to save the money is my major concern. I will rather look for a side job that can give me an extra income to buy Bitcoin. Nevertheless thanks for the idea OP.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
Can we trade highly pure water?

Is that what you drink? Cheesy
The way I understand the thread it should be something you consume, but could stop buying and spend the money on bitcoin instead. Something you can do without.
If pure water is something you consume and could stop buying, the answer is yes.

I'm supposed to do both, but currently, I'm jobless and all I can afford is to buy beer. At least one beer a day comes from my own pocket; the rest is when my friends visit me, and that's when I would be able to drink for free.

Personally, it's easier for me to earn coins than buying them because, as far as I can remember, during the time when I was still earning crypto, it was easy for me to save some. However, when rainy days come and there's nothing you can spend, you have to break the rules and withdraw the funds you are holding. It's a matter of surviving in these challenging times, and having some beer gives me a bit of ease.

By the way, beers that I buy only cost me less than $2, so it's less than $2 a day and it's impossible to conver that into crypto coin.

Can we trade highly pure water?

How about Molecular grade water from our laboratory?
Molecular grade water is usually used in carrying out washing of the ELISA plates and electrophoresis docks. There are also other purposes for it and mostly involved where cross contamination can not be tolerated during the experiment.

The cost of 500 mL MB Grade water is around ₹ 4,000 that’s after conversion comes to around $50.00
Considering this cost I would need to leave around 585 bottles at the bottle counter. That’s a costly scientific affair in terms of ultra pure water.

Good motivation for my husband. I have not drunk carbonated drinks, let alone alcoholic ones, since the birth of my children, but I will motivate my husband to finally stop smoking. A pack of cigarettes, which can last him a little more than a day, costs about 3–4 dollars. To save his health and thereby get Bitcoin, he must deprive himself of about 10,000 packs. Frankly, I doubt that I can persuade him to make such a sacrifice. Grin

Are you a woman  Roll Eyes? ha 🤔


Ok, well, it depends on how long he has been smoking; if it's not so long, then it might not be very difficult to convince him, but if it's been a long time, then It will be very difficult but not impossible. My grandpa was a smoker; according to him, he started smoking at age 20+, and now he is 80+. There was one time he was very sick and hospitalised for some days, and the doctor asked him to stop smoking and taking alcohol. I know it was very difficult for him to stop smoking; in fact, he was even hiding to smoke sometimes, but on many occasions, I caught him. So, what I am saying is that it will be very difficult for your husband to stop smoking and save up the money he was supposed to use to smoke 10,000 packs, but I have another idea for you. 


Since he spends $3–4 on one pack, you can advise him to save up another $4 every time he buys a pack of cigarettes. I mean, if he is buying one pack of cigarettes, he Should also take out $4 and keep it in a safe under your custody. Keep saving that $4 until you have all the money saved up for, like, 10,000 packs of cigarettes, then you can buy him a Bitcoin. But who knows if 1 BTC will still be in the range of $30k by then?

I had some strategy for you,mostly you use 30-50$ for a week into drinking alcohol.Suppose you make use of that 30$ per week into the bitcoin trading every week.You will have 120-200$ worth of bitcoin in a month.If you continue the process for one year of time,the maximum money you will have is 800$.This savings you get from the quitting of drinking.The health problem also saved in this period of time,So this 800$ can be used for any emergency time.It can be followed by 2-3 years,then you can start a business with that 2400$.

You own the pen
The rules are always straightforward when you want to spend on something, you need to consider first to ponder upon whether it is an asset or a liability. Most of the time we don't think of such kinds of possibilities rather we always rush to buy them as soon as we can afford it. But that's not the case when buying bitcoins because it is pure assets and earnings it will gonna multiply your capital if you did the right way to buy low and you know how to protect your bitcoins for the long term. When you turn away from those bad habits and instead spend everything on bitcoins instead, that's clearly an asset that will also become your treasure in the long run.

Water is water no matter where it's gotten from you just have to make it look unique, treat it like you treat something special with so much care, and one would think you got it at 50 eurs like you said for the wine.

I would never agree with that, because not all water is clean and healthy for drinking, and if someone thinks they are drinking healthy water from a plastic bottle, let them do a little research on what that plastic releases into the water and what you are actually drinking. Researches say that even about 70% of bottled water comes from taps anyway, which is another piece of data that shows that most people live in a delusion about what they buy.

Having a special wine would really cost a lot, with you being a connoisseur, it means you have to go for the real deal and you spend more to get that unique wine. I know you can do anything to get a better wine even if you spend up to 100 EUR😅.

For some, 50 EUR is a lot, for some it is not, it all depends on where you live and how much you earn, and of course on how much wine you drink. In addition, good wines are not only good as drinks, but can also be a good investment because their price increases over time.

Till this day, many people in my life still find it surprising that I don't drink, I am not so into drinking, I don't even know how to drink anything alcoholic, maybe because my father isn't an alcohol fan either? I have few friends that have shamed me in the past because I don't want them to turn me into a drinker, we end up splitting up and I find myself good friend that don't drink, we reason the same way and I like it.

To protect your liver and kidney you need to stay away from drinking, but all in the name of no one lives forever some people prefer to drink themselves into oblivion, drinking is now an escape from the reality or a way to lessen their pain or disappointment, I am glad I am not like this.

It's really not a must to invest in Bitcoin, for everything we acquired in life is vanity upon vanity but I enjoy challenges and it's one of the reason to keep striving, it would be a boring life if I am not facing any challenges you know.

If you have to drink something, drink what will be of benefit to your health and body, alcohol isn't one of them.

alcohol just becomes a headache to manage and a toilet flush 6 hours later.. its a waste

the whole idea of using disposible income to invest, is to use the income that would just go to waste andnot stick around. much better to invest..


You know a saying "if you enjoyed time wasted, then it wasn't wasted". Something similar goes for "wasted" spendings. Life is temporary, if you deny yourself everything, then you aren't really living. What's the point of saving money your whole life to own some BTC when you will be 70 year old - what are you going to do with them?

Everyone should have a balance between spending and saving. Because spending money on something that makes you happy is absolutely worth it.
Bravo! , I think you totally right imaging saving your life and restricting your with lots of pleasure that would have created memories and good times for you all in the name of acquiring more stacks of cash in your account, then eventually MR.DEATH comes knocking or later regrets show up because I bet you that when it gets to a certain age or time your supposed cash accumulated won't be more of an enjoyment when spending it even if you achieve your that supposed goal. It's better to live and also save up as the two can be done.

I actually don't drink often. I usually just drink once or twice a week, consuming 3 or 4 small bottles each time. A cold San Miguel Pale Pilsen is a perfect company when you're into some introspection or whatever. Of course, I don't count those times when I'm with friends. With them, I usually drink more and with a stronger drink.
Dude, you still drink more often when you compare yourself to me although I would debate on it because when I drink, 5 to 6 bottles with other hard drinks include but it's an occasional thing I do so... I don't like drinking alone though, I feel like alcohol is better enjoyed with a company so I haven't done it yet.

I'm curious, just what is Bitcoin to you? If you love your drink and you're happy having it every once in a while, why would you avoid it for the rest of your life just to attempt having 1BTC? What's 1BTC, anyway? Why would you let go of those beautiful moments drinking your cold beer in the beach, for example, or at your rooftop during sunset, or when there's an occasion?
Bitcoin to me is just a means of investment, that's it. For context, a lot of my relatives died of liver diseases so let me tell you this, if for real I was given a chance to get my hands to 1 bitcoin in exchange for not touching a bottle of alcohol again, I would take it no matter what, you can still have fun with your friends even without alcohol, that shit is just a marketing ploy made by those alcohol conglomerates to sell more beers, gins, tequilas and whiskeys. Just like you can still have fun in a club without powdering your nose with nose candy(cocaine). After all, it's the people that you choose to hang out with that's important right?
~
This isn't entirely different with so many people being too hard on themselves, trying to avoid watching a movie, drinking with friends, going to a vacation, use their work leave, buying good food, and so on because they're saving for a house and lot, a car, farm for their old parents; in short, their future. What is life? Life is here and now. Your future may or may not come. Balance is the key.
Well, the way to live a life imho is that you do what you want to do surrounded by the people that you love, now you can't say that people who devote their life to work and never go out partying as someone that didn't live their life, maybe they don't like partying or being surrounded by many people, maybe they're introverted or they only have fun with their close friends who are away and they can't contact. Different strokes for different folks as the saying goes. Just because you don't live their lives doesn't mean that you can say that they're not living their best life.
