That's a very good decision, it's better to buy bitcoins than to buy cigarettes. we will get disease and it could even cause lung cancer, better raise money to buy bitcoins to get bigger profits. don't look for disease or waste the money we have, it's better to look for profits in the crypto world.

I think it doesn't mean that whenever you're going to buy ciggarette, you instead buy bitcoin that is such a low cost. I think your term is that you save your money in buying bitcoin so that in the future you will have enough savings in order to buy bitcoin and then hold it. That decision is indeed a good and very wise choice. A lot of person today doesn't care about long term plans but for only their short term plans. They are contended to what they have today or at the very specific situation yet they don't think about the future. That decision is a very common but very helpful idea in order for the future to be ready. Instead of going to your vices, jsut save up for your future preferences and use. Good Job!

Buying bitcoin has become your new addiction

Laudable that you came with such a motivational idea to quit smoking.

There is a Russian anecdote:

"A person walk to a smoker and ask: "how much do you spend on cigarettes daily?"
Smoker: "5$"
Person: "if you would quit smoking 20 years ago, you would have bought a lambo today"
Smoker: "how old are you?"
Person: "25"
Smoker: "do you smoke?"
Person: "no"
Smoker: "where is your lambo?"

Hope you will be one that will prove the situation from anecdote.

Not so Appropriate for the Convo given ,Because How can it be possible when they are talking about 20 years Life duration when the involve is only 25 years old, meaning from age of 5 the counting starts ?Kids even Such milk that young .I guess it is Much good if the "Person" is at least 40-45 years old and still Not having a Lambo.
But the essence is the same , we must not smoke and save our funds ,believe me coming from a former "Chain Smoker" ..

Well.. here in India also we have similar sayings. If someone wants to give up smoking, then that decision should be purely voluntary. There could be financial and health benefits if someone decides to give up his smoking habit, but then again it is open to interpretation. And the outcome can vary from person to person. And obviously we need to remember that investing in Bitcoin do have its own risk factors.

In our country, they put some heave tax on smoke and liquor so that the people will consider to check their financial status and maybe quit those things. It helps a lot of people to quit their bad habits and until now, they continue doing it with no backing out on the rules they implement. If those people who currently smoke have a mindset like the one who started this thread, they can have some chance to use the amount they spend on such things for even more benefits like investing in BTC or any other good purposes to invest their money with.

Where do you live its seem good to live there Grin

Hey folks,

I decided to quit smoking today and buy Bitcoin every Sunday. A pack of cigarettes I smoke is $10. It cost me $70 per week. So every Sunday, I will buy Bitcoin without checking if the price went up or down. Even if it goes to the moon, I will keep buying. I will edit this post frequently in the future. This Sunday I will start investing $70 in Bitcoin every Sunday. I will keep this doing as long as possible and let's see what is going to happen.

I believe that at least I will invest in something that I believe, instead of wasting money on unhealthy cigarettes. Maybe some of you can do the same.

Wish me luck Cool

Thank you all for your support guys. 1. Week I bought 0,003650 BTC. Even the last 2 days it was cheaper, I waited until Sunday to buy. Rules are rules. I edited my post and let's see what is going to happen.

Btw, to be honest, I couldn't stop smoking completely. But in 3 days I only smoked 5 cigarettes in total. I smoke cigarettes for 10 years. I quit smoking for 1 year before. So I can do it again. Probably I will not smoke more. I feel better now.

I followed Allen Carr's famous Easyway to Stop Smoking method to quit smoking before and in my opinion, it's the best way I have ever tried. I am sure it will work again. For smokers I can recommend this method.

edit: I converted € -> $ to evaluate easily. I invest $70 weekly.

This is a story that is worth following. I only saw the form of this story through memes in which the smoker could easily buy blocks of stones then build a house within years instead of smoking. Now, I'm seeing someone gaining more money instead of smoking which is really great!! Kudos to your upgrade to a healthy lifestyle!

This investment is surely worth it of your time because every time that you can smoke, you are creating a more productive decision which is monetizing your time.

I think this guy has already good profit with buying bitcoin little by little due to the fact that bitcoin constantly rises oflver the period of time. However, if he will be too greedy and wishes to earn more, then holding btc would not be likely good because the market is very unpredictable and it can go collapse in just a short period of time and that will depend on the whales with huge bitcoin holdings.

Some people invest in Bitcoin to become richer, while your investing strategy lets you kill two birds with one stone - to become healthy and to get a decent amount of coins in the future. I don't like to play a role of financial adviser, but I'll tell my smoker-friend about your idea.
Congratulations and good luck!

I know right. It's a win-win situation for him. Saving and investing for his future through bitcoin while going towards a healthier life by means of giving up his smoking vice. I gotta say that even though I don't know this dude, I'm proud of his decision.

Hope other smokers will do the same thing. And hope that you can convince your smoker friend, too. Good luck to you both.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

Quote from: Sithara007 on January 04, 2021, 12:05:56 AM

Wow!! Just four weeks have passed, and you are already having more than BTC0.01 in your wallet. Just imagine what could have happened, if you had started this in 2018, or even in 2019. But then, it is never too late to invest in cryptocurrency. If the prices remain constant, then you may end up with BTC0.12-BTC0.13 by the end of this year. And more importantly, your health situation is going to improve.

It is amazing how much of a better life we could live if we become conscious about our spending flaws and invest that money wisely. I really believe financial education should be promoted extensively especially in third-world countries where people are starving. Even when having only 1 buck a week in savings, that can still compound to something relevant in a few years if put to work wisely.

Do due diligence

You found a kick ass way to motivate yourself: Bravo!
In 2008 I used Welbutrin to quit (after almost 25 years 2 packs a day)
In 2011 I thought I could "just smoke a little every now and then": NOPE.
I quit again in 2012 with Welbutrin AND the extra kick of Allen Carrs book, haven't smoked since....I owe myself so much money Grin

Wishing you luck and much success.

Congratulations on doing it OP not everyone could quit on what they had been doing for so long,
I have been planning on quitting on my online games and focus on crypto but it is my stress reliever and it is one of my source of happiness.
I think it would really be boring if I would quit and just focus on crypto on the other side I could earn more by doing it but the stress and fatigue isn't worth it at all.

You are saving a lot if you do this kind of routine.

Giving up your vices that cause you to spend money and convert it into an investment way of savings, now OP is really enjoying his
profits, the value of bitcoin even you bought it from the last time bull is almost doubled, if you keep buying both from high and low
during the 3 year time frame you still getting a huge benefits.

That’s an awesome job you did my friend.

Instead of killing yourselves you thought of using that money something fruitful.
I can also give you a advice, instead of Buying Bitcoins, you can go with other altcoins and try trading.
This can help you to get more profits or if your luck isn’t not good enough then you gonna face losses.
And you spending 280$ per month on cigrattes , its the salary of a normal average man.
It proves that you have enough money to manage your expenses.
So it’s better you should give a try at trading.
