Topic: Don't you think you should invest in Bitcoin instead of burning your money in fire - page 2. (Read 835 times)

The world is changing really fast. Nowadays school students starting from 9th-10th students to college level students are indulging in smoking to show themselves smart, nowadays it has increased a lot. When a student is addicted to smoking, he spends about one to one and a half dollars a day on buying cigarettes. A cost per month is $30 to $45, which if converted annually is $360 to $540. A student spends about $2,500-$3,700 on smoking over seven years. If we had saved this amount of money in any investment or for the future without spending it unnecessarily during our student life, then the path in life would have been very easy. The most difficult journey of a student's life begins in the years after graduation, when your savings or investments may come in handy.
If a student invests in coins like bitcoin without burning $2500-3700$ in his education life and also while he is busy establishing himself, this amount of money will power the way. Many may say that bitcoin risk has little guarantee of future profits but smoking guarantees that you will die very soon. I want to say that since I took the risk, why am I not in Bitcoin!
I have one regret because I have been through this cycle. I know and also know my community who is doing what how. I don't know if there are such members in this forum, but maybe there are many who have grown up or are in this cycle, to them I would like to tell them to quit smoking and start saving money and invest in Bitcoin and ensure a bright future.

Yes that true many think that to quit from something one is already addicted is just by mere word , it take strong courage and conserted effort that is why not all who desire to quit do quit because it more easier to say than done as I do concur to the statement, friend of my who by virtue get addicted to taken if indian hen it's very hard for him to escape this it get to a point that even when he said he will quite but couldn't , some of this thing has a spirit that control whoever that is engaged deeply on them even when they want to stop they can't because is like the has taken charge over them as they can't do without it even there energy rely on that for them to do anything.

It’s good that you were not influenced as many people would have been especially during high school days as students. I don’t think smoking directly correlates to havin a bad life but it can definitely affect your life in more ways than you might think. Physically, mentally and financially, you can be affected by smoking or any other addictions.

All of us were young once. We all know the feeling of wanting to have fun and not caring about anything but I hope kids nowadays stop for a moment and start thinking that there’s more that lies for their future and everything they do now will have consequences.

If we continue to recount all the things we spend money on instead of investing, we will continue to live in regrets. First of all, for students in high schools and colleges, the main focus is to acquire basic education relevant to their field and at that level it is best they concentrate more on learning and saving. Introducing bitcoin investment and any other forms of investment will be a kind of distraction to them.  Once a child begins to make millions from his investments in bitcoin, formal education will make little or no sense to him and remember, no education is a waste. Bitcoin investment isn't fading away anytime soon, they still have a long way to go. Money spent on smoking and other things not relevant can be saved while still sorting out their academic works.

It is common to assume that the money we spend on items like cigarettes, alcohol, and other unnecessary things is insignificant. But when we gather the money we carelessly spend for a long time, it can be enough to invest in a profitable venture. So I support op that smokers can quit and keep the money aside which can help them to put it into an investment. I support his stance wholeheartedly because smoking has no nutritional benefits and has severe health consequences. So quitting will be good for our finances and health. If some people calculate how much they have spent on cigarettes for twenty years, they would have been millionaires if they had bought and held Bitcoin for a long time.   

Mate, that is much easier said than done.

Smoking is an addiction that someone can’t easily overcome. I’m sure a lot of them also hope to remove this hobby from their lifestyle but they can’t because they are wired to keep smoking. Because they are addicted to it. Though just like you, I also wish for them to put their money into a much healthier activity like investing in crypto.

I've got a lot of smoking friends during my highschool and college life. They've never stop doing that but not all of them ended with a bad life.

While that will help them in the future if they use it for investing but with the younger minds today, they won't think about their future as they think about how to have fun at certain age.

In all aspects, smoking is a bad habit. If we can encourage the students not to enter smoking or stop smoking for good, definitely that would bring a relief. With that, they can start saving their spare money from their allowance that could be of benefit in the future.

As students, they don't have to focus on investment because there are more important things for them to do. Learning, finishing their education course and getting a degree which are all more important for them at this period in their lives.

Lives are so long for them to start investment anytime and opportunities are always there in the market. When they get a degree, find a job, get salary, they can have savings for investment, it is never too late.

I'm also not sure that students who spend their money on cigarettes, as Op calculated, diverting it to save, can collect that much. especially for Bitcoin investment purposes.
from a non-smoker's perspective, the money may just be a waste. but for smokers, to meet their needs. Know that each person has their own needs from their body.
Anyone who succeeds in quitting smoking is a good thing and it may be a difficult phase for all smokers.

I do not condone smoking among students. but we cannot direct this fact to Bitcoin investment goals. If you do the math, this money does have a pretty good nominal value. but I doubt it can be done.

Real Talk, OP. This kids need have proper orientation and strong moral background because regret is bound when one realizes the lost years, and might be too late or become a struggle to start all over again, I do not understand the reason behind such attitudes were one waste money for something of no value and productivity. Instead of gearing up for the future goals.

I think only few students who value their future will have the guts to save but they commonly save fiat not crypto. I haven't heard any highschool students who holds crypto but in college I read comments from our local board that some of them do and I think it also help their tuition fees and school allowances.

you're right on this, you know as a student savings won't come across your mind if only someone talks to you about investing. And even if someone or a friend introduce with anything concerning investment you feel like he doesn't want you to enjoy yourself, and when it comes to addicted most of the students started that lifestyle of burning smoke while they're still at home, and with that freedom of no one is here to control me any longer so they can smoke more then 5 pack cigarettes in one day. And a pack cigarettes is $30 for a pack but if they really had the knowledge of investing the money, I think before their graduation they might have gotten up to $25,000 or more than this before they're out from school. So what's killing the youth's nowadays it's lack of knowledge and not ready to learn about anything.
