Bitcoin Forum

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 8)

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

I will say this is a very good decision that you made, it can even help you to quit smoking. If you are investing what you think is a waste on something good like bitcoin investment, that means you are on the right track. Before you will know, you will save high amount of bitcoin you will really be happy about.

Too good of you. A big change is taking place through bitcoin. Then onwards we can state Bitcoin to be an asset that bitcoin is community responsible. The initiative taken by the user is very big, and simply one can't easily quit, but bitcoin had made him qui. Long live bitcoin and make the community live long.

Good luck, man!

This is much better than you are able to quit smoking and at the same time you get to invest in bitcoin. You're cost averaging it and that's a good strategy that you've started.

If you do it consistently, you'll profit in no time.

Lol, its nice determination and decision,  because smoking is like someone who is inhaling hazardous substance into he or her system which in future it will result out numerous health issues, such as brain damage, liver and lungs issues which can make human health abnormal, I think it's right thing op did by redirecting tobacco expenses to buy bitcoin because it's obvious that the money channeled into btc will be profitable or propagate than spending it via smoking, buying btc is like investment in another perspective.

good choice for your health and your wallet! more you have also financial freedom meanwhile you enjoy to stay without smoking. saving money in bitcoin is always a good idea, and this seems a very good situation. very important, pay attention to relapses since isn't hard start smoking again after some months ;)

Good decision pal!

You wont really be only potentially on earning profits in the future but also you are getting rid of things that do really destroy someones body which is cigarrette.

If we do make some math then thats 224 euros every month and 2688 in a year.It might not be that big but one of the most important benefits is that you do
stop smoking which is really bad for our health.You arent making money even though its not guaranteed and also you do make your body healthy which
is the most important of all.

Quitting smoking and start to invest? theres nothing better than this.

Normally people would be hard to change habits, but you’re one people who can change that.
That’s better than having to throw away your money every week. Now you can manage your financial management. And it will be good for the future. Moreover, you invest your money in bitcoin. It will turn your future into a fortune. From year-to-year bitcoin will change a person’s future. If you believe it.

And before he knows it, he already got a good amount of btc. I hope he can keep up with this change in his life. Most of the smokers that I know of, they started to quit but never keep their promise to themselves. It is nice to hear if the OP can truly stay away from his habit and spend it to crypto instead.

I am very sure you will gather a sizable amount of Bitcoins and also gain more value in your crypto asset in case Bitcoin price rises further  ;)
I wish you good health and success in your new endeavor. I would also like you to be careful when quitting smoking because sometimes some people get affected with smoking relapse as a result of nicotine withdrawal syndrome. If you have a personal doctor, try to talk to him about how you can manage it

That's about $3,263. Remember when bitcoin was trading around $3K? Well the value of 1 year of cigarette expenses would be worth around $18K today  :)

Are you not smoking now? Some people may find it difficult to get rid of the smoking habit it takes a long time for that. Some people don't care that smoking is burning money, it is throwing money away. It looks futile because of the many negative results of smoking. My advice is that even if you buy bitcoin with cigarette money, it seems that you also need to set the purchase and sales target. Because bitcoin fluctuates easily, buying it when the price is below it will increase your profit.

I can relate to this. I already quit smoking for almost 5 months. One of the reasons is the money I am wasting if I use that money to buy Bitcoin then it's kinda worthy.
I'll share my wishlist on my quit smoking tracker app if I am able to reach a specific amount.
One of the best to do is to care about our health, so you can use our Bitcoin in the future if you are long-term hodler of Bitcoin, lol.

Nice decision!!

I know it's hard to quit smoking all of a sudden but I think you can do it, You could also try to reduce the cigarette sticks per day to adjust your body to the lust for cigarettes. I myself quit from my vices back then and I'll be honest that it is one of the hardest days of my life. It's good that you made buying bitcoin a part of your motivation to quit your smoking habit.

I hope that this thread will be updated until the day you don't have the urge to smoke. I also hope you don't get thoughts of coming back in the middle of the process.

The option to quit smoking and then divert your money to a very valuable investment like bitcoin will be better than having to waste your money smoking smoke that will make your money disappear.
The strategy of buying bitcoin every week is a "Dollar Cost Averaging" (DCA) investment strategy. Every week you buy bitcoins with the same amount. This strategy requires patience and consistency to buy bitcoib regularly within the timeframe that you have specified, and don't really care about the jump in bitcoin prices.

It might be the other way around but i did the same thing even though it isnt particularly connected with cigarettes but instead i had stopped on buying unnecessary purchase of wants or things that i do like ex. Actively buying new model of smartphone or buying new cloths in 2weeks manner or even shoes which i do saw that it isn't already right to waste up money on things which arent really that needed. Im thinking also for long term and investing into something that has potential will always be worth to test or engage on.

Good for you mate, I'm a smoker myself, but I can' seem to quit it.

So I admire people who have the courage and mental toughness to go through quitting smoking for good and then channel the money that they are supposedly used to buy cigarettes in other things such as food, and in your case, BTC.

I'll probably make myself inspire by your story and think of a positive way to motivate myself. Thanks for this thread.

The best topic I read today hopes you get what you wanted. I really admire such a courageous act, please keep going on, you're not only saving yourself but you can also save the people around you. With the price of bitcoins keeps rising, I'm sure your deeds will be fruitful after some months from now. Maybe it's hard for you these days but keeps moving forward I'm sure you can do it and this time it's yourself who decides it not the doctor.

one of the best Strategy i've read here and everywhere because in this you have made a lots of good deeds.

--  Saving your Health for literally stopping smoking.

-- You also save people around you as a second hand smoker.

-- You save the Environment

-- and you are saving Funds for Future.

-- Helping the Crypto community as added investors.

Multiple Good things that favors all.

This might be one of the greatest decisions that I've ever read in this forum :D.
I'm not a smoker but quitting a habit that will not benefit you in order to invest into something that will give you benefits in the long run is just amazing :).

Update this thread weekly on how many Bitcoins did you bought on that week. For sure many users will try to see your progress :). Good luck.

The fact that you are on the process of surrendering your smoking is a great move already, but putting all the money you save from it into bitcoin is even greater. 10x greater to be honest because you are not only saving money — you are investing actually. So congrats to your new beginning. I will not wish you luck coz you don't need it anymore. I do believe that everything you do right will bear sweet fruits in the future :).

I wonder, why it seems that you easily overcome such vice? While the others are keep on trying but always fail, they still go back in their addiction? Is it depending on case to case basis or just all about mindset hmm?

Such a nice move, you are saving your money while saving your health. So good to hear that, i hope that you inspires most of us here. I hope you will continue this so that many may imitate you.

Inspirational steps to start even I can't imagine it, I am a smoker and I spend $30 per week to buy it. But I don't know I can stop the habit although I've got many suggestions to stop the habit, especially from my wife. I've known that cigarette is not good for my health and I've considered as well to save my money and allocate it to something positive for my future life.

Yeah I need your update on your story here at least it can motivate me to stop smoking, usually, if someone already free from his bad habits to start something positive and he shares every step he takes with people who are addicts so that it will be a positive thing and can be accepted well because he already knows some ways that will release them from their addiction.

You can't really say it if you haven't smoke, it takes willpower to quit and addiction is a serious thing so do not say that it is more productive than bitcoin. I do not think that addiction is a good word to go with anything.

To OP, I admire your sheer will to quit smoking because as far as I know, there are testimonies that smokers find it really hard to quit their vices because it became a habit and I am glad that you choose to do some investments and hopefully these will help you become financially stable. Careful about relapse though.

This is an inspirational story that can encourage other chain smokers to stop the habit and embark on ventures that that can turn around their fortunate, calculating £56 every week amount to €2912 annually which is massive, doing that in the next 10 years will be a huge investment considering the volatility of bitcoin.
I hope the OP stands by his word because of the urge in going back to that habit, afterall health officials always warns against smoking due to the danger to our health

Good decision for you OP. Now the money you are using to buy cigarettes will not go to waste now, quitting smoking would be hard so just stay focus on your goal and try to do other things if you are feeling like you like to smoke. Go exercise or find a new hobby to replace your smoking time.
Some people find it hard to quit smoking because it has become a part of their system, they didn't smoke just because they want too. I know some people who wants to quit smoking but it is hard for them because most of them got used to smoke whenever they are feeling unease.

That is a good thing for you, there is no good that cigarettes can give to you, so better spend your money on some worthy things like buying bitcoin and investing it just like what you are doing. I just thinking how could you stop smoking cigarettes at all, as far as I know changing your lifestyle from being a cigarette addict is not an easy thing because it requires first discipline and time, you can't stop it by only saying stop because your body will look for it. I am thinking if you are saying the truth.

It is tough investing in Bitcoin, it is tougher quitting smoking, this is a great decision as far as you can starve your brain whenever it thirst for cigarette smoking and investing the supposed funds in Bitcoin weekly, the return would be great, that means you're directing £200+ on monthly basis in Bitcoin, this is pretty awesome.

This is a good decision even though I can't relate to the OP's situation because I did not smoke. Quitting from smoke instead of investing or save the money that might cost of smoke is quite good. Just like you are buying materials for your house and build it until years passed. Bitcoin is good for investment even though businessmen think of this as a safe haven investment. But I understand the OP's situation, I had some friends telling me that it's quite hard to quit from smoke, but if you can able to discipline yourself, you can handle this.

They say ...."Seeing is believing" ...right?

So why not post the proof that you bought those bitcoins in this thread every Sunday, so that the thread can be bumped and also for people to motivate you on your way to your goal?

Some people makes these claims that they are doing this or that and then they never follow through, much like those New year's resolutions we make at the beginning of every new year.  ::)

I will come back to this thread to see if you did what you said you did and I will reward you with some merits if you do.  ;)

Good motivation for OP and I wish for your success. If you will succeed, you will have a good future ahead of you. You won't develop lung disease and will enjoy the bitcoins you'll buy today in the future. I hope others can make this example and think of a way for themselves to stop their vices, instead use it to buy bitcoin. There's no loss to this, you only need dedication to stop the vice you have.

LOL.. you should have started this two years ago, when the Bitcoin exchange rate was $4,000 per coin. But even now, I would say that Bitcoin is not overpriced. Apart from investing in a promising asset, this is going to keep you safe from lung cancer as well.  ;D So either way, it is certain that you will get good returns from your investment. Keep us posted about the progress!

I like your decision. It's not just the dependence on cigarettes that makes me sympathize, but you can also use your money for positive things.
Where your investment is something that will make your future bright. You've exactly invested in bitcoin. sometimes many people are skeptical of bitcoin,
but even you can buy bitcoin every week. This is remarkable, where it is very rare for people to buy bitcoin regularly every week. I don't buy bitcoin every week like you.

 Wish you good luck then.

I wish i could do the same but its just not working for me. Its challenging if you are with someone who keep smoking right beside you. Everybody right at home should be coorperating with you if they also want to help you succeed.

I hope getting addicted to cryptocurrency will replaced this vice of yours.

That's a great decision. I think that I should do the same and quit a habit replacing with buying btc.

It is an inspirational story for people who smoke. I am sure you can get double "profit" here, or I can say that you have more bitcoin by buying every Sunday, you can have a healthy life by stopping smoke. And when the bitcoin price increases and makes a new ATH, you can sell it at the highest price, giving you the biggest profit. But this is not easy as there will be a temptation to back to smoke again, and I hope you can have the power to prevent those temptations, so you can still buy bitcoin until you can reach your goals.

This is a good decision to get rid of the bad habit and start doing useful things such as investing in bitcoin as bitcoin is constantly growing and you can make good money investing every week and at the same time if you see good income before investing more in the future

It's good for yor health to stop smoking and also for your future because investing in bitcoin will give you a good profit. I hope the mind of the others also to quit their bas habits and do what you are doing right now. Im not blaming them because maybe that is reasons why they happy but it can cause also for them to sick . I hope you will never back again and continue of what you are doing.

We all know that smoking is bad, it is addictive and can ruin your health.

I know that you have a hard time to stopped smoking but that's a good decision and it will really benefit your life for so many years.

Investing on bitcoin rather than wasting your money into something that will kill you is really a good commitment to do. Bitcoin will make you someone you've never felt before, it will make you much successful, effective individual, and give you bright mindset towards achieving your goal.

It will not ruin your life but it will challenge you to grow your investment.

Maybe, he already realized that smoking is not worth it and can shorten his life.

It is not too late to leave our vices and addiction, there is always a solution and effective way if there's a will to stop it.

He is a good example that bitcoin can be the cure to our bad past, bad decisions in life, and bad experiences. Bitcoin can be the one who will help us to recover and become a financially stable individual. Once you are successful enough with bitcoin, try to find something that will help you as an alternative for smoking such as physical activities. Best of luck!

I do like this. It's good for you first about your health you will be able to get it out of your system and that is not good, second thing is that you would be able to make investment for yourself, I have a positive perspective in Bitcoin especially it was started accepting by big companies.

Congratulations for a nice change mate! By quitting cigarettes can add your life and make your body health than before.
Every week 56€ × 12 months = 672€ a year. A year 672€ × 12 years = 8,064€ for 12 years
this is good motivation investment for change to buy Bitcoin.

lol Its a good decision rather than waste money better to invest in Bitcoin, I didn't think that much. I have also stopped smoking for 2 years and switched to vaping, healthier body. I want to stop vaping so I can more invest in Bitcoin.

You have conquered two things I guess; overcoming an addiction and having the courage to invest into something which could be profitable.

Smoking is one of the hardest things to quit in line with other vices and habits as an individual. Being exposed into it would be more likely followed by addiction due to addictive chemical content such as nicotine. Engaging to investment on the other hand I think, is something not anyone could do because of fear from losing, as a possibility. Quitting an unwanted habit is a thing, but diverting it into something which would be beneficial is already something to be proud of which is something to celebrate with.

Although the amount of saving which you get each week is very minimal but in the long term duration (3-7 years), you may be a millionaire with this little amount of your savings.
A more positive side is that you have quit smoking which is not very easy. I never saw a person who have the habit of smoking, quitting it permanently. I will give your example to my friends who are in the habit of smoking.

I wish you many many luck and let me tell you also I am envious of your ability to give up such a bad habit to invest in Bitcoin instead.

I love cigarettes too much to ever give them up and I think of all the money I would be saving if I just cut back on smoking so much.

But reading these stories like yours here are very inspirational to people like me so maybe one day I will have enough courage in me to follow your steps.

Good for you! I hope you have enough will power and determination to focus on this goal of yours. This is actually going to help you quit since you now have a valid reason AND a distraction to stop smoking. Just don't stop investing after a week or so. I have heard if you are able to stop smoking for more than three weeks, you already lose all the urge for smoking. So good luck trying to resist yourself from smoking the next few weeks!

You are really brave and committed and that's good, thus have succeeded in turning an addiction to something that will work for you. Also, I used to hear cigarettes are not good for the health, so I believe with this step, you will be achieving two things, first you will give your body time to heal and secondly you will be investing in your future, because saving such amount every Sunday is very interesting and will gradually turn you into having a great passion for it, and once passion sets in you are good to go, and might likely cause you to increase the amount.
I wish you all the best and would also implore you to safeguard your private keys, since this is a long term investment.

You will see its effect after 3-5 years as constantly buying bitcoin from lows and from highs in Bitcoin will always benefit us in the long run as the price is driven to be increasing in the long run. Perhaps, what you can do to maximize your funds in Bitcoin is to trade it when you think that it is profitable already, and buy Bitcoins again when the price decreases. Meaning, aside from just constantly buying that profits in the long run, you are also scalping the possible profits from the volatility of the market. In this way, you can increase your profit in Bitcoin, as well as improve your health by quitting smoking.

Take my support. You made the right decision. I would like to believe that you will prove to be a strong investor. Invest and be resilient despite all the ups and downs that Bitcoin can expect shortly. In any case, you will benefit. Long-term smoking gives very strong side effects, especially today during a pandemic, you need to take care of your lungs.
I used to smoke, and under any stress, I ran to smoke, I thought that cigarettes helped to relax. But I did it and have not smoked for many years. This is what I wish for you.
Do not look or listen to anyone who wants to knock you off your decision. Any investment will bring profit, you just need to have patience. I will sincerely look forward to continuing your story.

Wow! You just did the right thing in your life, and I salute you for that. I'm glad that you've come up with the best realizations before its too late.
 You know, I honestly hate smokers and felt much suffocated when inhaled some cigarette smoke around me. Besides, its really not good to your health and I believe what the health workers said that 1 stick of cigarette is equivalent to 1 point, less in your life. It will only make your life shorter. So now, I hope that you are living a healthy lifestyle and with abundance. I guess, it is not only your body that will be healthy upon quitting smoking and buying Bitcoin. Your finances will be more healthy too because of huge profits that you will be getting. Just keep it up!

a pack of cig contains 20 piece dang thats alot of smokes for a day and you do this straight for 1 week but for how long did you already adopt this habit ? im glad that your still doing fine and thats good that you realize before everything is too late to change . i dont say btc is healthy but you can earn cash thru it that you can buy healthy foods or good stuffs to make your life more better than spending big money per weeks for unhealthy products . you dont only need to buy when the value of btc is increasing but it should motivate you to buy more whwn its value is decreasing .

yes, what you are doing is good enough for you in the future, especially in terms of your health & economy.

I hope you are able to face all the challenges, I mean "quit smoking" because I tried it only lasted 1-2 weeks, after that I smoke again and again.

If you save € 56 in Bitcoin per week one year you have raised € 2,208 a rough count, two years you have put together half the current price of Bitcoin, This is a great idea you have for your family and yourself in the future.
I pray that you can do all of that.

It's a nice lifestyle. Buying bitcoin won't damage your organs. I'm sure you can do it. I'll try to see this thread back when bitcoin goes to the moon I'm sure you can be a part of that whale.  :)

What you make is a very good decision for your future, because many people waste money just buying a pack of cigarettes in a day and I think it's the same as them burning money every day, but I commend the decision you made to quit smoking and thinking of saving to buy Bitcoin with the money you usually buy for cigarettes, I think it's a very good idea to be healthy and have savings in Bitcoin for your future. It's worth a try for all those who are still actively smoking, forget about the habit of buying cigarettes and replace the money you used to buy cigarettes by buying a little bit of Bitcoin.

Well it is a great choice imagine saving your health while saving money at the same time.
I don't smoke or drink but I am a gamer so I spend so much for games but I think I couldn't do what you are had done.
If I quit on games I think it would be boring for me there isn't anything to do because of the lockdown or due to the virus.

You did a great thing by stop smoking now and only focused on buying bitcoin. I agree with you and support you with what you did. You see that if you can stop smoke from a long time ago, you can save your money and buying bitcoin below than $10k. But that will not be a problem because you can do it anytime, and now, you are on the right track to buying more bitcoin. I hope you can make a big profit in next ATH to have a lot of money for your family. It is your life, and you should care about that.

Congrats.
I believe it's better to channel those little money we spend on things that maybe unnecessary/unhealthy/bad for us on accumulating satoshis. I don't do this currently because there is no easy/safe way to do it yet. Moreover I hardly buy things online with fiat otherwise I probably would've looked for safe applications to automatically save the little fiat money  (or to help me remember saving my money) whenever I try to buy unhealthy/bad things... the saved money could then be automated to buy me bitcoin occasionally like you do.
Better to buy some bitcoin occasionally than cigar, unhealthy foods/drinks, gambling (taking big risk), harmful drugs/substances, unnecessary gadgets/things, etc

OP, good on you! €56.00 per week is €2,912.00 per year. Do that for two years you buy €5,824.00 in Bitcoins. Let's assume your average price is $20,000, then if it surges to 6 digits, you get €29,120.00 OR MORE! That's a new car just from quitting cigarettes.

Just remember something D.Hardy said about your decision in the book of compound effect. If you stop smoking/drinking Coffee or anther useless thing you do in your life and save some a little amount of money everyday even less than 10$ this little amount of money will rise you up. Imagine you spend 5$ everyday for drinking coffee at work, not instead of spending this money you can save the 5 dollars and after a month you can have 150 dollars after one year 1825 dollars. Now if you invest that money on something like bitcoin and get profit from it can get really rise your funds by saving this little amount of money. That's called compound effect.

Sounds good, you are being a DCA method follower which is certainly a good investment if you are going to follow long term. Eventually it will certainly get you profit.
However, is it too easy to quit smoking who smoke 1 pack og cigerate a day? I have been able to quit it successfully for the last one week.

A really good choice indeed, and amazing to think that you'd be able to quit on your smoking habit and investing in bitcoin at the same time. Your family will be glad too whith your changes. In fact for me it doesn't if you buy bitcoin even it is pump or dump because if it is the best thing for you to save your money that can be wasted in cigarette instead. Here you would feel easy that your money was in a good investment

WOW that's awesome men this could  be an eye opener for those smokers who really wants to quit too , instead of investing it in cigarette why don't spend them in good and can be useful someday Finally you realize how much important your life is, You should be on trading to to make profit not just buying bitcoin so you can make some profit too by trading , imagine your doing some thing good that in the future you can get some money from it and build some business or anything that can help you for good in your daily basis.

That's a very good, dude. I salute you. Even now I can't stop smoking, even though I tried it and quit for 3 three months. But I came back to smoking again because of the stress of my depression. I am very impressed with your decision. I hope you stay on track with smoke-free health and success with bitcoin in the future.

I know that it will never be easy because I have been a smoker too and it's a huge challenge in the beginning. It's a good decision because it will benefit your health as well as your savings and investments. Sometimes we really have to sacrifice something if we really want to pursue crypto. You'll surely inspire more crypto users to quit their vices and just spend it to buy Bitcoin instead.

Although it is not as easy as it says but something like that is a very good commitment, because it is not easy to stop smoking suddenly or quit altogether.
because most people to quit smoking will go through a process of stages so that it becomes total, but I really salute the OP and that's a great example, quitting smoking is for health and money to buy cigarettes is diverted to investment and that's very good and will get two benefits, health and the advantages of investing.

Well smoking is dangerous to your health and buying btc is very good to your general wellbeing  :D, you have made the right choce to quit smoking and rather invest the money on something useful, am sure in no time you will have accumulated good amount of btc if you keep it up.

That's a very smart move to suffocate your addiction slowly. I was going to say that you should save your money every week if the market is on the bull run and wait for the dump, but I just realized that not investing it quick in Bitcoin would just end up on cigarettes because you might not control your urges on smoking after weeks of not doing so.

This is indeed a great investment, and I hope all of the people who has bad addiction do this the same thing you're doing to have a brighter secure future.

i think this is the right time to keep buying the dip as it comes, btc is full of surprises you never know when the market will recover in a full speed, am genuinely happy for our dear @op for defeating his addiction and using the money for something even better, some people will only quit smoking and never thought of investing on btc, but op was smart enough to think towards this direction.

Wow, honestly, it is the greatest and yhe fascinating decision, that I have ever heard before. It would be great to read this post after some years or at least some period of time in order to see the result. Hope this topic will not disappear and you will share your results of this interesting experiment with us. Wish you really all the luck, to be firm and strong. And you know, I will tell all people that I know about your example by no doubt. It is a great motivation.

Wow, a very good decision and it's quite motivational. This could be my new year resolution.  :)
I have been wasting money on smoking too. Let this year be the last and by the start of 2021 I will try my best not to smoke and save as much as I can to invest in bitcoin.
I am sure this thread will motivate many people like me to quit their bad habits and start saving to invest in something more valuable.

You will be surprised by the tremendous change you will experiment, just by quitting cigarettes you are improving your life so much that you will feel a different person in just a few months but at the same time instead of wasting that money in something useless you are making one of the best investments a person can make right now, investing that amount of money weekly will result in a total of 2912€ per year and if you keep doing this for decades it is entirely possible you could retire with what you invested in bitcoin alone.

In appreciate your thoughts. Every investment in bitcoin could make us wealthy, prosperous. Become a millionaire with Bitcoin today is probably still conceivable, what you need is capital. You can build a bright future just by quit smoking habit. From today taking bitcoin as addiction, turn your smoking cost into BTC investment and eventually you'll get a better financial life.

Yes and who knows what will be the price of Bitcoin once you need it. You also help yourself to become healthy for quiting smoking. Bitcoin is one of the good investment you can do as early stage and use it as retirement plan if the price of Bitcoin continue to increase in the next more year while you are continue buying it then you will have a good result in the end.

Also with me, i have never attempted smoke before and won't becasue of it health implications from world health organization. am a gambler but not that addicted to gambling, though i have spent some quite fiats in gambling which could have be use for some coins around the industry, but, sometimes i do buy some Bitcoins alongside my little earnings around the forum for long-term holding.

That's very nice thinking of yours, op, and I salute you for that. I don't smoke but I know that for smokers, it's hard to stop especially when you are already doing it for a long time. But that's really great because you don't just start taking care of your health, but this will also help you in the future. Investing in bitcoin the money you usually use in a cigarette is a smart choice because it's a win-win situation for you. I hope others will also be inspired by this.

Wow it’s a good decision you have made for yourself health wise and financial. I’m sure you will enjoy your decision on a long run because you will realize how much you have saved and the amount of bitcoin investment and transactions you have executed. It’s a positive decision and I’m glad to know bitcoin can influence its user positively?

You are in the right track, you can avoid some serious health problem in the future while your investment will continue to grow knowing that the bitcoin will surely to continue to increase it's price as I notice that the bull season has not been triggered yet.

Smoking is very dangerous to our health so I really salute your decision as not everyone can do it easily, others can decide to quit smoking but they cannot do it in a single day as it will take them like months or years to cure their addiction and to successfully stop using it.

The smartest move I have seen in a while! Congratulations and I hope you will sustain this. The greatest return you get is your HEALTH! Good health gives you more energy and time. The fact that you decided to invest the "unlocked money" in Bitcoin will probably bring you a lot of benefits in the future. I'm thinking... can we create a some kind of campaign to discourage smoking? Maybe on social media. #QUITsmokingBUYbitcoin  :D 8)

Congratulations on making a healthy living choice for yourself.  

At the moment, €56 is the equivalent of (https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-units-converter.html) BTC 0.00379158 which is more than the minimum amount needed to set up your very first Lightning Network (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5158920.0;topicseen) channel.  You'll need to sort out some incoming capacity (I advise against buying the channels being touted in the Forum and elsewhere - if you have a static IP, then others can connect to you giving you inbound capacity)

If you use a program such as Eclair or Zap and once a week open a Lightning Network channel, you'll be helping establish a solid set of channels for yourself - you can reclaim your funds fairly quickly, or, you can look at the time lock method (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5180850.0) to lock away the funds for a month, year or even longer.

I really didn't have such thoughts because honestly, I was also a smoker before but I have decided to quit starting last February until now I have stopped smoking for at least 10 months. With me quitting smoking at least I just think if this is my way to save money and also, to maintain and restore health. But by reading your thread, there is at least a hint of regret that I really didn't think of turning to bitcoin investing from quitting smoking and maybe getting started on my own. Hopefully I can imitate your big and kind steps.

I wonder how many forum users will be inspired by the OP's decision to quit smoking by emulating their goal and improving their own (and their families) lifestyles with this important first step.

(will they also buy crypto week-in week-out??)

should be appreciated for you buddy.
it's not easy to quit smoking. I've done various ways to stop, maybe you have a method that you don't mention. can you share a few tips so i can follow it.
To be honest, for a cigarette addict, leaving these activities is something he really wants to achieve.
it is true, if it is calculated by the expenses that are bought to buy cigarettes it is very wasteful.
I still haven't found an effective method to quit smoking. especially after eating, if one does not smoke it feels empty. :)

This is a good decision,

I also recently started this. Not about quitting smoking but 10% of my salary will go to bitcoin, Not that much but after a few years I am expecting a good return. Instead of using that 10% to buy what I want even if I don't need it, I chose to invest it as long as I have my work.

It is an inspiring story but it is difficult for a regular smoker to quit smoking all of a sudden. I am trying to quit for the past couple of years but the most i can stop is a week and then once i see someone smoking the urge will come again  :D.

@OP it is good to hear that you were able to quit smoking and do something positive and hope it inspires people.

It's a mind blowing goal and very healthy habit as opposed to your previous or soon to be ex-habit right there. You've done your math's and all you need now is to keep to it and it's going to be difficult I believe, especially if you've been addictive but, your new passion and choice of investment will surely pay off, I can tell you that.
I wonder at what point you rationed this out and what made you?
An insight into this would help some others who are into some unhealthy spending realize how much they waste sticking to a part that leads no where. Good one @OP, you stand as an inspiration to all with an unhealthy habit now.

There is no satisfactory news than this. Not everyone realizes how toxic smoking is for the body. Whoever can provide it up I assume is the winner. Because getting rid of it can get rid of numerous sicknesses. And if he conserves capital and restrains bitcoin, then there is no point. If you are correlated to Bitcoin, you are better plausible to advantage.

Wow, its a Very good idea, and keep  this work continues. Smoking  is dengerious to our health body and mind also lost our money. Most of the smokers do not left from this bad habit.i think your small investment can be helpful in big financial ptoblm.Bitcoin price always  pump just need to hold for a long time so try to hold for a long time your asset and one day you Will  be gainer

Good luck to you man, hopefully that you succeed on your goal. It is better to quit smoking and spend the money you spend in smoking for your investment. Years from now, that money you use for investing will be worth it that spending it on smoking.you really made the right choice, this should be done by many people to stay healthy and at the same time, they have the reserved money in the future.

It's great that you're brave because you can let go of bad habits and give yourself a chance to invest in Bitcoin. I believe in a suitable time. You will get what you need to Bitcoin. Make a long day with a nest and you will be rich when bitcoin goes up. :-*

I wish you big luck and great wishes, this is a big win for you, a big win for your health, a big win for your finances and also a big win for your future because bitcoin. Is the future of payments. I will advice that while saving up and buying bitcoin as am investment option, you should learn about storing your savings on cold storage, understanding how fuds and fomo affects the markets etc.

Goodluck buddy

good luck to you, I hope you are consistent with your decision on this journey. it's difficult even just to stop for 1 day if you are a smoke regularly.
I am not a smoker, but I can relate to this thread because I've successfully made my father stop smoking.
he is a heavy smoker, he smoked up to 3 packs of red Marlboro every day.
I read some literature before I pushed him to quit smoking.
based on my experience, the first 2 weeks will be difficult psychologically.
he became more sensitive, irritable, and grumpy. I gave him ice cream and more snacks. I made him busy with something fun. I treat him like a kid. literally like a kid  ;D
gladly, it's was successful and he already stops smoking in March 2020. I can save my money to recover from this pandemic situation  ;D
I will spend this money to buy low cap alts. Gambling in alts. At least I burn this money without affecting his health.

It's a great idea especially when you have limited money and once you spend it on Bitcoin you can't afford to buy smokes.

In reality, 10 years from now, you will be able to say that you bought yourself a nice new home instead of feeding cancer.

Keep us posted with some statistics. Put it in a wallet and in a few months post us a screenshot of how much it's worth.
Maybe people will see that saving up is worth it, especially when you're saving up on your addiction.

You know this is a very tough and difficult decision. And probably you will face a very hard time quitting smoking. And there will be always another disturbance and willingness to back again smoking. But, as long as you keep this commitment and try to do something else, I believe that you can do that. Sometimes, you need a big sacrifice in order to reach certain conditions or move to something better new. As here, quitting smoking and switching into Bitcoin investment.

I am not a smoker but I have a father that a hard smoker. We know that smoking for somebody maybe not separated from their life, They cannot quit smoking because that is their part of life. And we know also that they spend a lot of money on this. I really feel bad about this. But they have their own choices.

I will really wait for the edit posts and see whether you are successful in doing this or not. Hopefully, many more people may do the same. Not only for the sake of that investment but for also of switching into a better healthy life.

I can really say that you have a very good decision because you save yourself from dying since you stopped smoking and your decision to invest your money in crypto is such a good decision. As long as you know how to invest that really makes you gain income. But buying bitcoin as of now is really risky since the price is already high, you should have bought some of it when the price is at a low value so that if bitcoin pumps, your money also rises up. I wish you good luck with what you are doing now.

It's a nice idea. I just think it would have been even more profitable if you had done it 8 years ago. Then you could have saved a lot of parcels. By the way, it is good that you can get rid of your addiction that way.
Then bitcoin is a good investment.

ya.ya.yo!

A very good comeback if I would say. The fact that you solved an addiction with something not short of profitable, is better than what most of us can do ourselves. If you could share your journey with other people in detail you may inspire those who may not just be stuck on cigarettes but on way deeper issues too like drugs or alcoholism, to maybe turn their lives around for the better. Hoping your recovery goes well dude.

I appreciate what the opening post has done, because it is not easy to quit smoking. It's a smart decision, because quitting smoking
and choosing to buy Bitcoin every week is very profitable and not all cigarette addicts can do it. I hope that many cigarette addicts
will be able to follow what the opening post has done. This is not only self-serving, because it can make the body healthy and improve
the economy. But quitting smoking can make the air healthier and cleaner, so it can make other humans also breathe fresh air.

When you know and understand the real value of anything then you will go for it. Smoking is a dangerous to health and it will kill your inner body which is the most important thing for your body to live. If you really understand and stop smoking then you deserve a big hats off. Congratulations to you mate. The way of thinking already changed and it will be huge one day if you can hold your money everyday. Appreciate your idea and wish you a good healthy life and new journey with Bitcoin.

This is actually a great motivation for us including me wtf. Maybe people need to care more about their health and stop spending money on bad things such as buying cigarettes or spending on unnecessary stuff. Maybe people on our home could be an example, by substituting the bad things for the goods like making a cryptocurrency investment like you do.

I wish you success. I know I have wasted money on things I didn't absolutely need to have and later I regretted not having enough Bitcoin because of this. Recently, I decided to cancel Netflix for the time being and paused a few other subscriptions I had in order to save more BTC.

I never had a Netflix subscription. First of all, I don't think that paying so much for the subscription is worth the money, since I don't have enough time to watch the movies and the web series. At the most, I spend around 4-5 hours a month on watching them. And secondly, I am already having an Amazon Prime subscription, and PrimeVideos do have some very good movies and serials.

It seems like this kind of topic is more motivating us to buy Bitcoin in a simpler way. We all know that smoking is not profitable, both economically and healthily, but many people love cigarettes. The changes you made are so unique, I even really like your decision to replace your cigarette spending money by buying Bitcoin in exchange.

Keep up the spirit and rest assured that you can buy better things than cigarettes with the Bitcoins you buy every week.

Wow! That's amazing!

You may take video on this and post it on YouTube  8) i would love to see

Its a win situation for you now that you have quit smoking and started investing in bitcoin. It will be very beneficial not only in terms of your health aspect but also in terms of financial aspect knowing that bitcoin is just in there as your long terms holding and investment which can generate a very good amount of passive income. Hope that because of this thread many people do have the same realization as well.

Smoking is bad for your health. You must be able to inspire other smokers here by posting this thread. Actually I admire on that you quit smoking and instead focus on something that could able you to earn instead. It was a great decision you have made. In my opinion if all smokers will going to quit smoking then after having a year by saving it through bitcoin probably many of the people specifically the smokers here will get rich or able to acquire asset like properties, car and others that are are likely to be hard to acquire without a good savings.

This is the best decision that those who smoke should think of taking it. It is definitely the win-win situation for person as firstly will save the health that is the biggest benefit. Secondly investing that money in bitcoin which is correct as bitcoin holds the future and will grow as well. So will make good gains too with investing it.

That is the best thing to do mate rather than wasting your money on unhealthy products specifically cigarettes. With the money you have invested in Bitcoin you can even buy things that are better than cigarettes. Through investing in Bitcoin can improve your wealth. Gladly that you shared your experience here so that everyone must be inspired and do the same as you did. I know that it is a tough decision for you to make yet you did because all the smokers I've ever known having a hard time leaving these bad habits.

I think this could be your best decision in your entire life, there are hundreds of people in the world who are smoking and spoiling their health & wealth. I would say your post should turn out to be a post of the year or even a decade if this is true.

Investing in BTC is like a gem the worth will always be there for sure and gradually it's growing too, even I am planning to make some serious decision after your post. I need to do something on my small savings and BTC might definitely change our life in couple of years.

I must confess i got really motivated by your story . This might be the best decision of your life .  Health wise, it will help you so much and financially you are building a solid future . Am a big fan of bitcoin , i see bitcoin as the future of money and i never stopped investing on it as well .I have been accumulating since last year , i dont care if the price goes up or down.

That wasn't a Luck instead a Good decision,quitting smoking is not that easy as i have been with a bunch of friends who smokes even when we are a young teens.

NOw that we get into maturity they have been trying to get rid but it's like a cancer to the bone.

Though one of them had already fighting for year now without taking a single stick(hopefully) OP can take this to the end of not having a stick in his mouth with Lights.

Congratulation in advance from quitting and Gaining in Bitcoin investment.

It is a win win situation for him because once the bitcoin rise they will get profit and because they stop smoking they did not get illness like lung cancer who is number 1 cases for the person who are addicted in smoking. But if the bitcoin down they lost money but the going to be healthy. His story hoping many people will motivate and start doing like what he doing right now because if you want to change it's better to have investment instead of bad habits that will gives you problems.

I am glad you came up with that decision. It's not everyday I read posts like this — giving up their vices and buy bitcoin instead. You can't lose there. Just with the fact of giving up smoking and living a healthier life, you're already a winner there. Then you're investing your money in the right thing.

I don't know you personally, dude. But I want to say I'm proud of what you did. All the best.

That's a wise decision investing in bitcoin other than buying cigarettes, It would be a great investment especially if you're aiming for a long term investment.

The market price of bitcoin at this moment is so high so it might not be a good time to invest but it would still be a good choice because the potential of bitcoin is just so high plus the supply and demand thing.

Just consider the fee since if your investing it might cost you a fee so it would be wise if you're going to invest a big amount other than investing a small amount many times.

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.

Well done!  I first off think cigarettes are disgusting but as you've noted not only are they disgusting but they are a big waste of money as well.  It is kind of like when I see people buying a bunch of lottery tickets where the machines are sitting right next to the Coinstar change machines where you can now buy bitcoin.  I always want to yell at them and tell them to stop wasting money and use it for bitcoin. 

You are also doing a smart thing by buying in each week no matter the cost.  This is called Dollar Cost Averaging which is an important strategy in finance.

Wow :D I’m really impressed by this your post. It’s very good that you have taken such a decision and I wish you luck man, this is definitely going to pay off and you will benefit from it. I know how hard it would be to let go of an addiction, but I pray you get the strength to go through this journey and quit smoking.

The decision you have made is a very good one, and as you keep on investing, by the time you even realize what’s happening , the amount has increased to a very huge amount. I have also been doing the same by avoiding spending my money on unnecessary things and rather investing them. It’s very important.

Haha, you are such a smart and real man. Tobacco is really harmful to our health and when we are addicted to it, it causes a lot of harm to our body and nervous system.

I am also a smoker but I intend to quit 2 weeks ago but I am not motivated. Your idea is really good and I will try it out.
I have saved this article and if 10 years later I am successful and healthy, I will definitely not forget you. Right now I can only give you 1 merit to cheer you up, fighting bro!  ;)

If you are certain that this method will work for you, then  we are also almost sure that your plan woll be successful. Good to hear that you found somerhing that will keep you away from smoking. I hope more smokers will try and follow your method.
More money will not be wasted from the useless and harmful cigars.

Finally one had saved himself and also understood bitcoin is more valuable than a cigarette. For anyone life is the most valuable thing, but people ruin the life through continuous smoking. People need to realize and should go for alternative ways to make life more enjoyable.

Op has made a way investing on bitcoin, same as that upon the convenience every smokers can plan and do good for themselves and to the society. I mentioned the society, because the it is more harmful for the people inhaling the smoke thats been left to the atmosphere by the smokers.

Smoking is consumptive behavior without realizing it. By shifting spending to prospective assets, especially bitcoin, it will get bigger benefits in the future. This is the most effective and profitable way to break bad habits that destroy the body and make bankrupt.

Congratulations on taking a bold step. Step one is quitting smoking is very difficult and waste of money. And step two is Use of block chain as well as bitcoin savings. May God protect you from evil deeds and reward you for good deeds. Don't lose patience. Devil will repeatedly call you to the wrong path.

You made a good change, mate...
if you say the right thing then quitting smoking is not an easy thing. I've seen many people who fail to quit smoking because it's difficult, I hope you will continue to quit smoking so you can continue to buy bitcoin with that money.

Regarding the "buying bitcoin" part, it's really and advisable thing to do. Normally, we would save money with the bank but, when you see that you could feel better if you managed your money yourself, you definitely don't have a say but to join the train. I'm pleased to see such a resolution.

BTW, I think that this post will definitely change a lot of people. Thanks for this.

Wish you were thinking about this two years ago, now you would never ever look at cigarettes (or you'd have so good profit that you would go back to them haha). I have a lot of smoker friends, relates and some of them even say that the money that they have spent on a cigarette from the beginning, would be enough for them to buy a great car. Or they think the following: Oh, if I was collecting that money, right now I would have $10k on my deposit.

In any way, appreciate your decision and I even like that proposal: Quit smoking and buy Bitcoin. I hugely hope some people from cointelegraph and popular news websites will somehow see this thread and make articles about it like it was once when our forum member sold pizza.

You have done a really good decision. Instead of wasting your money buying cigarettes and harming as well as risking your health because of that, you have decided to divert your attention and money into useful thing which is using your funds you have intended to use for smoking before into purchasing Bitcoin. You have really done a great job on that because you are living your life into becoming a healthy individual by quiting smoking and you are being able to gain opportunity of making your money big by purchasing Bitcoin which is sensual because that would create a better future for you rather than wasting money on smoking which will just cut your life into short because of health risks and environmental risk (pollution) that it contributes. Health is wealth and you are really gaining wealth doing decision of buying Bitcoin instead of cigarette.

Lol, we're just the same path, I can't also quit smoking, I guess it will take time before I will consider my self quitting in smoke but in a short period of time just like when you decided to quit in just a couple of days, nope! I can't do that.

Indeed, that is a good decision. There could be another way that you can invest in bitcoin without having an option of quitting in smoke because on my own, it is really hard to do and maybe it will take a months before I can fully stop on it.

I really appreciate anyone who managed to get out of smoking addiction, this is for the sake of health. You have made a good decision to stop smoking and switch to buying bitcoin, you get 2 benefits at once, namely health and savings.

Where did you buy this? At this rate, you should have paid $56 instead of €56, unless you spent a lot on withdrawal fees. Exchanges usually charge anywhere from 0.0003 to 0.001 BTC to withdraw, which is far too much for small amounts. The alternative would be to keep your Bitcoin on an exchange and withdraw everything only once every few months.

Or:
Use a site that bases the withdrawal fees on the actual estimated transaction fee. This one (https://bitonic.nl/) for instance currently gives 0.00349492BTC for €56, almost 20% more than what you got. Long-term, that's going to be a large difference!
Buying on Sundays is perfect for fees: usually transaction fees are lowest on Sundays. And if you do weekly withdrawals to your own wallet, you should consider consolidating your small inputs when fees are low (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.0) so you don't end up with many small inputs (and very high sending fees) in the future.

Great idea! It's good for your health and with your investment hopefully you will gain some profit. As the stats shown from WorldCoinIndex Bitcoin has gain +170% in 365days and +102% in the past 180days.

I expect BTC to pass $20k soon.

Thanks for sharing this great idea.

Hello LoyceV,
Thanks for your attention to detail. I live in Germany and I use Binance to buy/sell. Because of my distraction, I have sent 56 USDT from my cold wallet(my savings are there) to Binance to buy. Because at the weekend it wouldn't be fast to send Euro from my bank account to Binance.(It takes 2 days somotimes to transfer money from German banks) Instead of sending €56 worth of USDT, I have just sent 56 USDT and I traded on BTC/USDT pair.

I will send more USDT now to buy the rest of €56 equivalent BTC so instead I will invest $70 weekly and I will update my post.

From now on I will send $70 worth Euro to my Binance account on Fridays but I will trade on Sundays. I even didn't realize that I have made such a mistake. Thanks again.

Good for you! It is a good investment both in terms of health and the future. ;)

How did you stop smoking in one day? I would die. I do want to stop too and I have a vape but it's just not the same. Plus I don't seem to be able to mix juice very well. If I had stopped smoking I would have thousands of more$$right now since I had to sell bitcoin at the beginning of last year to cover my habits.

You know even Ozzy Osbourne said cigarettes were the hardest drug to get over and he has done all sorts of drugs. People who don't smoke don't realize how much of an achievement this is. It's like being a fat ass and then losing so much weight people don't recognize you anymore  :P

You made a right decision as you can see the price of the Bitcoin breaks now the all time high now well investing to something that will make you earn is way more better than investing toxic chemicals to your body.

that's a great idea but why bitcoin? there are still many altcoins that have potential in the top 10 altcoins, try them at altcoins and find a good top altcoin, I suggest not only in bitcoin but altcoins, that's just my advice, if not interested, no problem

I am rooting for your success, OP. Hope you find the determination to keep pushing and never go back to smoking. After all giving your full attention and investment to cryptocurrencies, not just Bitcoin alone, can benefit both your financial standing and your health of course.

I really appreciate your step. this is a good step apart from maintaining your health it can also get you a great future investment. I think this step should be used as motivation for others so that others can imitate and prove that bitcoin is useful

You did a smart solution to quit smoking, bro. Only a few people can make a useful solution like you and brave to quit smoking. Many people have difficulties to quit smoking because they feel so bad once they never smoke again full-day. Even they can be like drug addiction, so it is very difficult to quit. But you can motivate yourself and quit in a happy way. That's great, bro!...  :)

I keep buying every Sunday and I quit smoking. I updated the thread every Sunday also. I thought I bought at the top price every Sunday but now I see Bitcoin price is almost doubled as I compare to the first week I bought. It’s a very good experiment for everybody. I wish I could buy more instead of just investing only weekly ciggarattes cost.  I will keep this thread updates. Thank you guys...

From the first post, the OP has amassed BTC 0.011314 which is currently worth  $380 / € 310.46 according to this price converter: https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-units-converter.html

Not bad for an original € 240 / $ 293.76 outlay over four weeks.

Keep up the good work @eucalyptus

Look perfect in the eyes of everyone because you can quit the habit of smoking, this is wonderful news because by not smoking,
then your body will be healthy and can save money. You’re very smart because you’ve diverted your money to  invest in bitcoin,
and you can see for yourself the better the price. What you did was right.

The thread title catch my attention.

It's a game changer if everyone will do just like what OP is doing, quit smoke and use that expenses into investment, pretty much a goo idea.
Though this is just a small amount but who knows how much would value in the future, and it's on a weekly basis, I think 10 years of consistently buying bitcoin per week, things could be very positive in OP's future, we should follow this kind of mentality.

Total True i personally sometimes smoke e-cigarette quit smoke is hard because of nikotin in it even e-cigar have on their liquid. Candy is friend to people who want to quit smoke. and investing bitcoin is good choice with cost dollar averaging technic

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.

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.

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.

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.

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  ;D

Wishing you luck and much success.

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.

Are only available from the regulating agency to have a single negotiator for the entire Combimist L Inhaler online purchase population, but not all countries are ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

That is a good news for sure decision you took to believe health is wealth. Many bitcoin users has testified how they have quite their normal business to Join bitcoin investment which is really helping them to do well in their businesse.
Invest wisely on bitcoin, you will see the positive result from it. Many that hold their coins during the pandemic, hoping that the price of bitcoin will definitely change positive for them to make a reliable income from their business. Quite smoking is a good decision for every investors who want to do well in future.

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.

Where do you live its seem good to live there  ;D I am live in indonesia and most people here are smoking even a kid :( sad watch that but indonesia still development country and most of the tax revenue from cigar its very high to develop my country itself  :'( i hope in near future indonesia can start using your country rules

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.

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.

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" ..

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!

Being a non-smoker, I have always wondered why people are spending so much on cigarettes. We all know that more than 80% of the amount that we pay for the cigarettes are made up of taxes. So why should anyone go for this overpriced and expensive habit, when it can give you lung cancer as well? But there is some truth in what TopTort777 said. If I compare non-smokers with smokers, there is not much difference in their financial status. At least I could not find anything obvious.

It is already amazing the you quit with smoking since it is hard to remove to someone's system if they were there for a longtime. Another good choice is to invest the money you saved from supposed to be smoking things. I'll bid good luck on your future endeavors. Cheers!

Great job making those important changes. I need to cut down on useless spending myself, this was a good reminder. I wish you the best - good health and great gains! Keep at it, friend!   :)

This is just amazing.

Congratulations man! I hope you continue this. Addiction is not a joke, gambling or smoking, it is the worst. The fact that you stopped gambling and make it into an opportunity to invest and earn is just amazing. Not all smokers can do this, they might calculate the expenses they've done in a week or month but they won't be able to do this immediately.

Nice ideas and good job when you quit smoking and buy Bitcoin every week from your waste money to buy cigarette, I think many people around the world still smoke right now because they can't quit from smoking and looks enjoy after eating and smoking because most pretty situation for them, I am glad when you quit and saving your money to buy bitcoin and become most worth if you keep saving your money to smoke and save in bitcoin assets,

Quitting smoking can re-wire our brain and help break the cycle of addiction.
it is better than anti-aging lotion.Quitting can help clear up blemishes and protect your skin from premature aging and wrinkling.Another effect of quitting smoking is that our blood will become thinner and less likely to form dangerous blood clots. Our heart will also have less work to do, because it will be able to move the blood around our body more easily. :)

I see you want to talk math :D Here is the answer

(here is the story link (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4446390/Indonesian-chain-smoking-boy-2-school-champion.html))

Anyway, the OP is in right direction. If he can not quit smoking, he can pause for few years, invest in Bitcoin, sell in future and did not spend money on cigarettes anymore. Just hope that OP will give us some updates and not abandon this topic. Im really interested to see how his history will end.

It looks like a sustainable way of dealing with smoking. It was a cool decision and should be an example for many. I cannot think of if everyone quits smoking and begin to buy Bitcoin. Such a huge demand :)

speaking of kid and a lambo ,  the pic you share has a perfect combination lol although it wasnt a real lambo .

pausing is as good as quitting , others out there cant quit or pause but op can do it but if he will soon sell he will amaze how much money he collected and he thinks that he can buy more cigs or i could be wrong and he will get motivated to keep on savings because he will love the result .

for the smokers out there , its not too late to changed the bad habit  . btc can help you

This is what I called right for your health and wealth.

Congrats on having the will to do it, and most importantly to stick to it!

This is great idea and also beneficial for your health and financial support. I really appreciate your decision . I also bought some BTC $ by my pocket money . It gives some profit  . I am happy for that

How much money you spend for smoking every week, have reach above $100 or more? I think is you spend 100$ every week for investing with bitcoin just one year you will be new rich person by saving your smoking money with bitcoin. I think $100 every week become $500 next year and if you keep hold it for long time, never wake up and always save your smoking money for investing in bitcoin because you can earn more later when see bitcoin raise to higher price.

Nice, good for you.

I hope all of the people be inspired by this person who's spending his money wisely than spending it on bad habits that will just ruin your life. In your action, you'll get healthy leaving and wealth for investing in a potential cryptocurrency which is bitcoin. That's a decision that some people can't do because they're really addicted to smoking and it's very hard to quit but you manage to do it.

Congratulations mate, a good welcome for you this year 2021!

To be honest this thread serves as a inspiration to me because I like to enjoy alcohol more then I probably should be.   But this Coronavirus has caused me to drink more then normally do.

When I am finished with my work today and go to my liquor market this evening I will think about how much I can be saving and if I buy Bitcoin instead.  My bank account will appreciate me and so will m y liver.

I'm thinking for quite smoking but any problems in love & when I'm depressed no one stop me to smoke that's big problem😕

Goodluck buddy!

I must say what you did is a great action and will pay off because you don’t spend money on unhealthy cigarettes anymore and now channel the money on buying on a weekly basis without putting into consideration whether the price is going up or down. Your are good bitcoin enthusiasts and I’m sure you have secured a promising and investment future for yourself.

hahaha good joke dude. your weakness is in love problems and a strong degree of depression.
Smoking seems to have become a staple in your life, and is not easy to get rid of.
but if you already have a strong determination, everything can be overcome. There are many alternative ways to keep you away from cigarettes. One of the only actions taken by the OP, by diverting money for cigarettes into Bitcoin investments.

Everyone does have different thoughts and ways, but with a strong determination everything can be handled well. You are lucky to be in this forum, there will be lots of good advice for you.

Dam this guy is going good. I think I need same type of resolution for this year so that I could end up having good amount of bitcoin for future. I’m very impressed with your resolution. I hope you will continue this journey until the time you completely overcome your smoking habits.

In fact this is the best way to overcome our bad habits and at the same time increase our assets. I think I will also initiate something similar to this and have my wallet filled with btc. 😁

This dude has killed two birds with one stone  ;D He invests in his future every week and fights his bad habit so he can feel healthier and better. I really like it. Shout out to this guy!
I've been wanting to break up smoking for a long time already but I always had a lack of motivation. Now I know what I should do :D I will try to follow this method and spend a part of my money on investing like him. Many thanks!

good luck BTCBTCBTC

OP, how much weight have you gained since your "quit-day". I believe your next challenge is to buy less food to lose the excess weight, and use that fiat-savings to buy Bitcoin again. 8)

You have made a very good decision there OP, I know most of the people here would stay that it is quite late since the price of Bitcoin is already surging way up to higher. But the thing here is not timing to the market but the resolution for good especially to improve OP's health and at the same time, trusting and giving value to Bitcoin.

It will serve as a very good lesson for us to consider, It is never too late to buy Bitcoin, make it an inspiration to change for the better, and soon, I'm pretty sure that we will celebrate from the investment that we have.

wow, I got inspired.  :D though i have no unhealthy habits, I've decided to buy some coins every week. but I'm sure it's hard to resist the curiosity to check its price. just...we can check but not sell it. I'm not sure which cryptocurrency is suitable for purchasing...any advice???

This.

Best of luck to you eucalyptus. I don't know you but I support your decision to become healthier and wealthier. You must be feeling ill from the withdrawal syndrome since you started to quit. Just know that it will benefit you in the long term.

To be honest, smoking keeps me sane so I can't stop smoking maybe I can find a job that can sustain my vices and at the same time invest in Bitcoin.

Health and money have the best of both worlds, I support your approach. :)

Hi all - Is there any update on how you're savings are going eucalyptus?  Have you broken the spell and struck up again?  I know all too well watching others around me trying to give up that it's not an easy task - we're here to chat if it's getting tough to quit.

How many € did you manage to save?  Hopefully, you're seeing the rewards in terms of BTC saved.

Well, quitting smoking is certainly a good decision. If you keep buying bitcoin in this way, one day it will worth more. So, keep buying.

Wow. This is the first time I saw the thread and I am encouraged with what the OP did and the encouragement on the replies. If only people will also start the habit, not only their physical health is good, but also their financial assets! I believe it's hard to quit smoking since my grandfather had a hard time cutting the habit, but great job on OP's discipline and truly your decision was worth it and you won't regret it.

i have some bad habit glambing  and drinking now see your post and today i think also quit my all bad habit. every month 100$ waste for that. if  the money will invest in bitcoin for my future it,s make me rich no doubt .thanks you for the post .and i think when bitcoin price under 20k $ sell my all land and buy bitcoin.

If he is going to quit food to control his excess weight and then to invest in bitcoin he needs to undergo a very strict diet considering the price of bitcoin has rallied multiple folds and i would like to see how much he saved by quiting smoking and whether that changed his life around :D.

If you have done that 5 to 7 years prior and then start investing in any form of crypto currency you could have probably become a millionaire. Who knows in the future if you become lucky if you start saving but it is highly unlikely as the market has already boomed to valuations that were literally impossible a few years ago.

Congratulations, OP! Your determination to quit smoking for bitcoin is truly inspiring, it even sounds romantic.
There are so many experiences that we can share in our bitcoin world, because it makes us create a culture and lifestyle that makes us identify as bitcoiners.

Because we know how valuable it is in supporting it. If bitcoin gives us the economic solutions that neither the bank nor the government can do for us, that is why we love the freedom we have achieved.

I was following this thread closely, but now the OP seems to have abandoned it and moved on. He has made some posts in the Turkish section of this forum, but no updates here for the last two months. From his updates for the 6 weeks up to January, I could see that he spent a total of €420 to purchase BTC0.015054. He should be in profit right now. As per the current exchange rates, the net worth of his coins stand at €612, which represents an increase of +46%.

Currently, BTC 0.015054 is valued at https://youmeandbtc.com/bitcoin-converter-php.php?dir=frombtc&val=0.015054&cur=eur&btctype=btc&exchange=Bitstamp&dec=8&bgc=DDEEFF&txtc=111133 (https://youmeandbtc.com/bitcoin-converter)

If the OP comes back, they might be interested to add the following BBCode to their first post and adjust the value accordingly...

2 birds with one Stone ! Congrat bro you've token a great decision And invest in bitcoin with ur cash.. Quiting smoking for bitcoin is the Best investment you've won your health And money from bitcoin..

It's typically a killing two birds with one stone or falling two men with a single blow situation. What is important most of all is your ability to take a decision and live by it. Being determined and actually doing it is where most people fail. Should you actually be achieving this, it stands as a motivation to a lot of people out there with a decision to put a stop at something they consider unhelpful. Better still, putting the funds in a futuristic investment such as bitcoin. Its a nice one and you stand to gain a lot in making this a lifestyle towards unhelpful habits.

Investing in such a way like quit smoking and start to buy bitcoin every week was a totally wise decision and also a kind of decision which an OP shows how strong his determination was when it comes to his goals. The mere fact here was, smoking has no good thing that can help in your self, in your health and also in your budget. It would be the reason for you to destroy your budgetting but here it was the OPs strong decision, awakening the sense of each and everyone to take budgetting seriously.

I think it is one of the best decisions ever made. You have made the best decision for your health and for the economy. Considering the cigarette money in the country where I live, I can too.

Was actually to say the same thing on not, he doesnt only able to earn money but also he had completely save up his body in total mess due to cigarette smoking.
Trying to calculate on how much he had saved up then its already a good amount that you do save knowing that the market had risen up since from that month of December.
This do really proves out that you can really quit up something if you are really eager to do so.You would really benefit it out and this one did show off that
you had already some healthy lifestyle on quitting smoking at the same time you do have some money being saved.

I really like your decision. Besides, I think I will follow your method. I think one day this bitcoin will go with me and us much better profit. Hopefully by 2022 the price of Bitcoin will be $ 100,000. So I will use this method like you. Thank you for explaining so beautifully...

Congratulations, you've got now around 0.015BTC.
Just keep doing it consistently until you reach 0.1BTC and then 1BTC. This is a good promise to yourself for quitting one of your vices and then investing the cost to bitcoin.
If others can be just the same, they'll also harvest it someday.

I have to appreciate if there are people who want to quit smoking, because it is not easy to quit smoking. Because addiction to smoking is
very difficult to overcome if there is no strong desire from ourselves. I say that because indeed I have many friends who are active smokers,
even though I have advised them to follow your footsteps by quitting smoking and buying Bitcoin. Most of them prefer cigarettes to investing
in Bitcoin, there are also my friends who follow my advice, but soon he returned to smoking again. So congratulations for the opening post
preferring to buy Bitcoin instead of buying cigarettes, it's something that many people have to emulate.

I know that quitting is not easy but you made it and did something more  wiser that can benefited you in the future, congrats.

Now you're free on putting your health at risk because of cigarette, its really an expensive addiction.

If you continue buying up to this point, probably you had 0.015 like @blockman said. I wish you goodluck and be consistent on this decision.

I have actually seen people who come with the intent of making waves in certain places by but not through gutted acts like quitting cigarette. I must commend your efforts in getting this decision up until you can no longer bettle with it. kudos guy.

It's not about how much you save, it's about how consistent you save. and with the current regimen you're pursuing we can all say you are on the right path. Not only are you prolonging your life, you're securing not only yours but your family's future as well. So way to go brother, and I hope you carry on with this project you have. Right? People may say that what he's doing with his money is stupid, especially the nonbelievers, but with the current state of the market and the promising future it radiates, OP is in a very nice path towards healthy living and financial success.

It doesn't matter anymore if he has understood the importance of investing in bitcoin. This is much better and he's in a better state now rather than doing his vice that he just losing money and at the same time getting himself weaker due to the facts that we know about smoking.
We don't need the bad words from others with things we do such as investing in bitcoin, what's important is he or we know what we do.

right choice friend, I will try to apply this to my husband,
oh ya, your cigarette fund is quite large, 70 $ / week, if one month is 280 $ in a year you can save more BTC, and you may get more benefits if you buy BTC than smoking which only leaves the disease and quick death effects of smoking

Not all people can do this. I have met many smokers, they even prefer smoking to eating if they are forced to choose between them. So, you quit smoking and collect the money to buy Bitcoin, is a very excellent/smart decision. I am sure you will be successful and enjoy it later. Good luck, bro.

A-congrats on quitting. In the long run you will be happier and save tens of thousands on medical costs.
You are adapting a savings mentality. As you make more $, you will save more. Many people make a lot but spend more. I have had that issue. So you are setting yourself up for success.

Wise decission mate, health is wealth and Bitcoin is our futures good health too. If we are unhealthy with all our vices and bad habits we will end broke at the end. Billionaires eat healthy foods to prevent illness and maximize the wealth they had by investing into Bitcoin just like Elon Musk and other huge institutions.

LOL.. while everyone is congratulating the OP, he has been inactive in this thread for quite some time. It looks as if the OP has gone back to his smoking habit. It is always difficult to quit smoking, if your habit is more than a decade old. Among my smoker friends, I have seem almost everyone trying to quit smoking. But in most cases, they will relapse after 1-2 months. Only around 10% to 20% managed to kick their habit.

All the more reason we should be encouraging the OP to stick with the plan and put out the cigarette butts and look to investing in satoshi's with a plan to HODL into the medium to far term future, even if it's only a portion of the funds that they once spend on tobacco products.

I think this is a very good decision for you bitcoin is now a lucrative currency most traders have been able to solve their financial problems by investing in bitcoin and have opted for crypto as a profession quitting smoking will improve your health. Although it takes some time to quit smoking it is good for your health therefore by investing in bitcoin you will increase your capital and improve your economy meanwhile,the price of bitcoin is rising a lot.

70$ is a lot of money in my country and I am quite shocked because a pack here is around 3$, that must be a lot of cigarettes. Good thing that I don't smoke because I have a lot of things that I wanted to spend on and cigarette is not one of them. There are helpful apps to keep on track with how much money you are saving by not smoking and that can be psychologically helpful as you have some sort of positive reinforcement for your commitment to stop smoking.

I think only just conscious people get responsible for their expenses have the track of their records about their current expenses because they know the other important things rather than that cigarette.

It looks like the whole concept is just cigarette is just bad for the health and instead of doing this better to get an investment and bitcoin by that your future might be secure than your losing your life like a cigarette.

good choice for you, because you can choose to waste money on the positives. besides that you can also provide health for your body and also help reduce global warming. you are very smart to be in bitcoin and that's the right choice

I'm really excited about this topic, I'm also a smoker and I'm having a lot of trouble with smoking. I've been wanting to quit for a long time and perhaps this will be a suitable excuse as well as a motivation for me to quit.

Earlier you quit consider that earlier you could make a good money and that should be enough of motivation in crypto world. You need to love money and then you can quit many such things when someone you see an option in front of it like how the OP quit smoking and invested those money in bitcoin and today how much value it would be as compared to time of investment. Do not delay and just make it happen for yourself.

People can still love money and continue smoking. One thing does not interfere other. We dont know the reason why he smokes. Maybe he kills stress with smoking. If he quits, he will substitute it with something else. Like food for example. Than he will have troubles with excess weight.

I'm not a smoker, but to be able to quit smoking, organism must get into situation when he will understand that smoking is bad and destructive. Then it will drop smoking by itself. Otherwise as long as smoking does not interfere, organism wont show signs that this habbit must be dropped.

Maybe he started making so much money with Bitcoin he could afford to go back to his old habits and yet,,, on more expensive cigarettes;)

But jokes aside, I think a lot of people I am reading about now even in Africa are saving from unnecessary spending and buying Bitcoin. Some guy in Nigeria stopped also ciggies and drinks, and started two years ago just buying small BTC. Now he has a big savings thanks to 50k BTC and he is not stopping!

Looks like 7 weeks of no update , specially now that Bitcoin climb up to so high your investment in bitcoin getting smaller each time.

But since you are putting 70$ a week this will change the amount of bitcoin in your wallet.

---

You have inspire many of us in this project , because you are helping the environment for not polluting the air , you also helps your body by not toxicating your health and Having a funds at the same time.

I wonder how much could I save and earn if I would also quit on playing online games.
I don't really want to quit because it relax me and relieve my stress I don't know what would I do without it specially now with this pandemic.
We should find something that could keep us happy and relieve our stress because it is so stressful right now due to the pandemic.

Even though it is small, there are good benefits that you can get, especially for your health to stay healthy without cigarette smoke which can damage your lungs.
The OP method can be a good example of converting cigarette purchases to bitcoin and even if you only make a small amount of bitcoins it will be big in the long run.
In my opinion, quitting smoking is not easy and requires commitment and serious consistency that must be implemented, it is not as easy as it says and I salute the OP.

I admire your spirit and this way you are admiring many others who can invest money rather than wasting money on cigarettes. Its possible due to your willpower of quitting smoking and trusting Bitcoin. I hope you will build up a good amount in the future and this way you will keep yourself fit by quitting smoking and as well as save some money by investing in bitcoin.

I guess the OP is from Turkey and there the GST is quite high for products such as alcohol and cigarettes. It is the same in most of the EU nations as well. The governments allow alcohol and cigarette sales only because they can be taxed very heavily. Else there is no reason for the government to allow their sales. So you can't really complain about the prices. There are only two options - pay 200% or 300% tax on them, or get ready to live without these products.

You really did a smart decision! Now you have a new great habit which is investing in bitcoin and in the right time you will earn a good value. I wish that I can buy and invest bitcoin every week just like you. Just think about btc if you are tempt to smoke.

I totally agree with what you do, even though investing in Bitcoin has a big risk, but what you do is the right choice, because instead of you spending money to harm yourself by smoking, then you better invest in Bitcoin, so if the price of Bitcoin increases very high in the future (maybe 5-10 years from now), then you will be a rich person at that time, because you buy and invest in Bitcoin every week.

You can still play for free when it comes to game if you really want to enjoy then don't spend much money on it some of games needs strategy not but when you look for pay to win then you can spend more than $1,000 thats too much for a single game even thou you win or lose it doesn't matter because the only thing you want is to enjoy the game and the best thing is to free to play you should try it you will see the difference.

Considering how much a person is addicted to nicotine, I think that the main problem or obstacles in this person's plans are not in investing in bitcoin, in choosing the time or method, but in resisting the temptation to smoke again.

Hahaha ... great idea. I have a similar one, but I want to save the amount every month and I will buy BTC, the price will drop because at the moment it is not profitable. I plan to save $ 100 a month ...

Seems that it may applicable to me? Hahaha kidding aside, if you really want to quit smoking then probably you must have to discipline yourself first in order to stop smoking because st the end of the day if you can't discipline yourself, although you said that you will buy bitcoin every week in order to cut your smoking, it wouldn't be enough. I would like to congratulate you in advance if you will be able to discipline and cut your smoking habit.

Good Luck man! Now maybe you are very happy for your decision. You benefit now because of your decision. You could still make a lot of money if you invested more. You deserve praise for investing in Bitcoin instead of wasting money on bad things. Good Luck man and keep it up, Hope very soon Bitcoin will touch 100K ATH.

Smokers would definitely be arguing that you do talk about smoking is a bad thing.  :D Joke aside, this kind of decision in life does really give out two benefits on what you had done

which is you do save up yourself on having some smoker sickness/illness later on and also you do earn up money on the coins you had saved up or invested.

This is actually a good move if you are really serious to quit up smoking plus having that investor like kind of mind.This one isn't easy because this do require very strict self discipline on
doing these things.

My friend stated that he should have bought some bitcoins using the smoking money that he used in the past. But moved on to investing in stocks instead. But still, for me, an investment is still an investment. Whether it is through cryptocurrency, or stock market, or physical assets like gold or silver. Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do to save your body and I would hope that many of us will have the courage to stop.

Wow that's amazing! You have such a great dedication and great decision as well. Smoking surely spend a lot of money, and if you invest it in bitcoin, then you'll have a lot of investment by no time.
i hope i can do the same, it's still hard for me not to spend money on useless thing, i wish i can stop and start to use my money for more useful things like investing etc.

Though it was a difficult decision to make, i salute you for your courage.
But congratulations to you that you have moved with Bitcoin.Bitcoin will keep you financially fit. As Bitcoin is increasing day by day,it will also possibly return some of your wealth whatever you lost with smoking

This is a good sign for your health, I'm also a smoker and so much more, but I have no choice but to give up on it to make things better. It is not good for health, but it helps me relieve stress from the pressures from this market. But anyway, the amount of money you spend on cigarettes to this market has been a positive thing, I like people like you and it helps me feel there are more interesting stories in this space.

a wise opinion that you express, but it looks like a cigarette addict is very difficult to stop if there is not the right intention. is it possible to also propose to them for better cigarette money to buy altcoins for investment because it is very profitable. if they can be given understanding, it is likely that they will still be constrained.

whereas by setting aside most of the funds for cigarettes, it can be profitable in the short and long term. it depends on us placing on coins which are indeed increasing and are indeed excited to continue to move up. crypto is a future investment that is very best for now than forex and stocks and gold.

Quitting smoke is very tough decision to make and I believe its not easy, I've seen some of friends made same decision but according to them its quiet challenging. But your motivation is very unique, one day you will probably enjoy the benefit of your sacrifices you make also proof that there is wealth while preserving health. Good luck to your goal in life, your an inspiration.

If everyone of us will do the same ? surely the environment is the first that will benefits and of course our pocket because imagine how much money we spend in smoking twice or more every hour?
I  can use 3-4 cigarettes every hour and this will be more when i am drinking alcohol , But this post inspires me and will let my wife read this later when i got home , so we may both stop our smoking habit and let those amount spend in holding crypto , either Bitcoin or the altcoins of her choice .

Smart man. I hope to see this thread again in 5 years and you being a millionaire off of it ;)

Good luck to you that the value of the dollar is fixed for you.
In my country, $ 70 is the salary of working for 2 months, and that money is too much for us. :D :D

Best of luck bro I hope you will achieve what you want to achieve.It's a cool way to get rid of this bad habit of making and earning some profits through Bitcoin .I myself will tray your method and save money which i spend on unhealthy things and spend it here.

Really appreciate what you have done, for me a person with a smoking habit just to change not to smoke is already an achievement in itself. but this is more than an achievement but it is a motivation for everyone that if there is an intention it can be done.

in installments from deposits to buy cigarettes and turn them into bitcoin is a very rare thing that can be done without the right intention to make changes. Seeing the results that I have recently saluted, how about a year or at least every halving period.

A very good decision making you did and I will congratulate you for this good decision, I hope there are lots of people realize this. Smoking contribute bad results to our financial matter. Although the amount when spending it is just a little but when you do it daily haler it can contribute huge amount of money to spend. I am very proud for a person decided to quit smoking.

i quit smoking but that is when Bitcoin is still not on my radar, if i come to learn this early ? surely i will do what you did OP..

Congratulations for you because it is not a simple task leaving a Vices that you are doing for many many years.
I book marked it and set an update for this all the time .

Waiting for the update of OP here I hope he was not tempted to try smoking again this can really challenge him this is not easy task quitting smoking, I know a lot of my friends before who are smoking and already said they will stop but look until still smoking lol but this one has a motivation buying bitcoin instead of cigarrete is a great idea hope you will continue.   

So this is your Weekly Budget for smoking? How much per pack the cigars in your country man?

I use to smoke also in college days but the cigarettes are cheaper so i only spend at least 10-20$ a week , well when i was in college the price per pack is just a 1 dollar and 40 cents per pack .

Hope you'll permanently leave smoking and become a Millionaire in the next couple of years.

Monthly salary of just $35? In my country, it is like the minimum wage for one day of work. Where are you residing? It is very difficult to believe that such low wages exist in 21st century. Around 2 decades back, that sort of salary existed in countries such as India and Indonesia. But nowadays, the minimum is around $100 per month, and that too in the most remote and rural areas.

Quitting smoking was a really good life decision, buying bitcoin with the money you spent on cigs is really good too. Your family & friends will be proud of you. You probably will add 10 years on to your life & you're investing money in bitcoin too, perfect.

Imagine the amount of money one uses to buy the vice. My friend who was a smoker buys a pack of cigarettes 5 dollars a day. I mean that is one pack of cigarettes a day. Yes, not really that much like those who smoke 2 packs a day but think of the money spent and if you could have spent these dollars on crypto then it is a good choice to stop smoking. It is a hard thing to do this stopping but it is really worth it.

There's some bravery to it (though, iId say that depends on your cig addiction) but in any case better to pot that money and make one large transaction even if it is weekly. It will still save you the time and (+ small fee) on a daily buy. Just saying...

There really are countries that are below the minimum wage of other countries. That's very unfortunate if he gets to earn $35 per month.
I can't imagine myself living in that amount of having a family together to spend that amount. It's not even going to sustain the monthly bills unless I will cut off my electricity and will only ask for water for free.

Smoking is something that is very dangerous to the health. When we say smokers not to smoke describing the health issues, the very first thing they say 'even the person who doesn't smoke also getting sick'. In this way smoking can't be quit by anyone's suggestion, it needs self realisation. Here this person has understood it, and I expect this guy to flourish through bitcoin to stand as an inspiration to the guys who spend big on smoking.

it seems we also need continuation like you said, whether (eucalyptus) still continues to stop smoking and keep buying up bitcoins. If my look at his account it looks like he is still active, is it possible that he might come back as you said to smoke again.

but we should not be prejudiced against him, what he does will actually trigger many people to follow what he does. I hope that after this post he will be active again. want to know how many bitcoins he got, of course extraordinary.

I wonder why OP stops updating this thread. this is a motivation thread. I was inspired by this thread to do the same thing. But, since I am not a smoker, I used free money from my exchange affiliation earning to buy whatever coin I want to buy on the day I earn that money. I got paid daily from that exchange.

let's make some calculations. I assume he bought 6 times only.
he already collects 0.015054 with $420
the current BTC price is $56,400
so, his BTC value should be $849 by now.
he already gained +102%

That was a fantastic decision in a fantastic direction.

Yes I still love money, but I want to quit smoking more, and I haven't done it for the last few days, I can't stand the stress and pressure it makes me use weed more than cigarettes, and it costs more money. Therefore, I changed my mind to continue smoking to save money.

Good for you OP because not many has the will to quit something that they had been doing for a long time or addicted to it, I have read some testimonies about smokers and addicts that they know that what they are doing is bad but they don't seem to be able to explain why they can't stop, it's just that they want to do it no matter what. I hope that with the money you save from smoking and being invested in bitcoin makes a good deterrent for a relapse.

Kinda curious though if one has a certain habit that will affect one's life badly and instead now throws those money being used for bad habit to buying Bitcoin.
I usually drink energy drinks and I, now, imagine if it would be hella worth it to quit sodas as well and throw it all in Bitcoin, not like it won't show some worth for a while, but in longer term, it surely is hella worth.

That kind of taxation is present in my country too although it is mostly on cigarettes, the audacity of the tobacco companies to complain that the taxation will be bad for them when they are the one exploiting the tobacco farmers is the most stupid thing ever that made my blood boil. It never deterred smokers to buy their packs, a small percentage stopped altogether and a little bit bigger than the latter reduced the packs that they consume and there seem to be more everyday, I won't complain about taxation on vices, the problem is that the taxes that comes from it are not used properly.

I am not a smoker (never tried in my life), so I don't have anything against cigarettes getting taxed heavily. In fact I would urge the government to increase the taxes further.  ;D

Obviously most of the tax money is wasted by the government on waging wars and for paying salaries to the government employees and there is hardly anything that we could do about it. A lot of smuggling also takes place because of the high tax rates. And the issue for smokers is that the habit is very difficult to stop. So they don't have any option other than to spend a large part of their earnings on cigarettes.

Woah this is such an amazing idea! Now this money that you could have spent on such a bad thing, you're investing in your healthy and bright future. Well done! I hope it works out for you! ;)

Cigarettes are one of the most bought items in the market. Many people, adult, old people and even minor are using it. Having it taxed is definitely good because it is a very good. But of course in terms of a person's expenses I think it is good that he finally realized that it is good to save bitcoin and have some of it as savings rather than buyung cigarettes. It has a double purpose in the life. You're making yourself free to some sickness and bad health problems and making yourself some funds available for emergency family problems like financially.

It will really work for him.

He's becoming healthy and invested at the right time using his budget buying bitcoin instead of buying cigars.

And with other people who have different activities that can be bad for them or can be spared, they can also apply what op has done.

I have seen something very similar for both alcohol and tobacco. No matter how much the government increases the tax level, the consumption of these substances never go down. People may resort to using smuggled product, but they will never give up using them. In a way, it will have a serious impact on the financial stability of the families of alcoholics and smokers. So I am against increasing the taxes beyond a fair limit.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. This is a brilliant plan of how to quit a bad habit and getting benefits at the same time. This guy gets it doubly ;D

Yes, it is exemplary because smoking can damage health, especially the lungs which will be fatal if it is severe and even leads to death.
diverting cigarette-buying money to invest in bitcoin is a very good option, it doesn't matter although the OP can only generate a small amount of bitcoins each week and will be a lot in the long run if you do it regularly every week.

This is a very good example, but it is very important whether a person was able to completely quit smoking, or is looking for a replacement for cigarettes. You can quit smoking, but will instead eat a lot of sweets to compensate for the constant craving for smoking. This is what my friend does, he eats a lot of sweets and I don’t know if he can save money.  :) But in any case, quitting smoking is very good and investing in bitcoin is a prospect for the future, which will bring results.

Congratulations on making the right decision, because quitting smoking and buying Bitcoin, you can stay healthy while also accumulating a portion of your wealth, which is a good choice for a win-win situation.

Great you avoided something which is injurious to health. Bitcoin will help you with earning a handsome amount of money rather than wasting on smoking.

It's such a good plan for those who have bad habits and also want to invest in bitcoin. But instead of immediately investing, they are reasoning out that they don't have enough budget.

Now, by doing that initiative, he really rocks that plan and made it right.

You cant really tell that it wont work if you dont really try it all and to those who do make out some excuses are really the ones who arent willing to quit up their vices so its
expected that they would really be having those kind of behavior on things.This dude did really succeed on quitting smoking at the same time he do benefit out on the
bitcoin he had saved out from that.Only a few could really be having that kind of mental control and discipline towards self because we know that vices are really
hard to quit once you do really get used to it or being part of your daily lives.For those who do tend to quit and save up this way then its not really late at all.

He doesnt care nor mind about smerits but actually these kind of post do really get some appreciation because not all would really be doing this..This is even my first time seeing this kind of post on where it particularly talks about quitting smoking and then the money that he would save will be put up in Bitcoin every week which it isnt only saving up his own health but also he do make money with just simply doing that. 2 birds hit on one stone as we say where you do benefit out the most with just doing on stopping smoking.Just like what others mentioned where this do really involve to be that much discipline towards temptations on doing it again.

I hope that there will be more like him.

Who had promised themselves to quit and not just promising it but doing it for their own sake. And if there's something that stops them, they will do an alternative just to make the result better.

We're happy to see more people do as he did.

I hope you will become the next billionaire, since you leave bad habbit and change it into best investment ever. If you do that actually you are doing Dollar Cost Averaging strategy and it is very good. Actually I live in the city where cigarette companies are very big, many people in my city work there, but I don't like smoking because it doesn't give me any benefits. I even avoid to work there although the companies offer high salary because I don't want to support companies like that.

These posts are inspiring, I see that the author no longer edits his post. I wonder what happened, does he not invest any more? By the way, I quit smoking thanks to the flu 3 years ago. When I had a cold, I could not smoke, the body rejected cigarettes.

Yep, it is a good decision to quit smoking because it is a bad habit. But to be a billionaire from Bitcoin investment, he needs more complex things, not only leave smoking. Now, he must learn about Bitcoin investment well and determine the target when he should trade/sell his Bitcoin to the market. Also, he must be aware of many FUDs related to Bitcoin anywhere, so he must be patient to keep holding. In addition, it is better if he wants to learn about the price prediction related to Bitcoin, at least he knows when the bullish time and when the bearish time in Bitcoin.  ;)

By the way, it is true if Bitcoin is one of the best investments nowadays. But I am not sure to talk that it is the best investment ever. It should depend on who invests in Bitcoin and how you manage your Bitcoin.

I wish, i can quit something that are eating my money and invest it in Cryptocurrency. Though, i have some investment here but increasing it daily, weekly or monthly will really be great. I am really happy for you. Congrats bro!

Your friend's strategy is smart and creative.  If the average person does not buy cigarettes, they will spend their money to spend on other things like food and drinks.  You have converted to Bitcoin and it is the best way to be profitable as Bitcoin increases in price over time.  The world has too much cash and all people want is Bitcoin. I trust you will soon save a large amount of money buying Bitcoin every week.

Honestly, right now I'm also trying to quit smoking, but it's very difficult to do because my friend is a smoker.

I spend 2 packs of cigarettes a day at $ 1.5 per pack


You stopped counting, are you now a smoker again?

Lol i've been doing it too bro.

I quit smoking and with that money i turn it into investment stuff like Stocks or Buying assets in crypto.

I'm doing it since the end of 2019 and with that money i can start my Small business and never asked my parents for money anymore.

Best of luck for both of us :*

It's good for you and is inspiring many people.

But another story that i want people to be uncle more, because it happens very often for people who work on computers a lot. Surely this market pressure causes us to stress and turn to stimulants to relieve stress and make everyone's worst choice. Think about if its harmful effects adversely affect the body, once you've had a lot of money to become a millionaire, what if your body doesn't allow you to enjoy the millionaire's life?

Health protection is a must and should be serious about this.

I can't help but wonder what would you say to someone who after a dozen years not smoking they then start smoking again due to family and work issues that have been ongoing.

What would you say to them by way encouragement while they deal with the issues and hopefully quit smoking or wean them off of the smokes.

(I've never smoked, so I have no point of reference).

Nice, that is a really good thing for you mate, smoking is not a good thing for everyone, you made a good decision for quitting your smoking habit and turn it into buying bitcoin. I already have read a lot of article regarding a person who is hard to stop smoking and there is a big process before they have stopped it, good job bro, you have to turn it into bitcoin for all those money you have spent on smoking.

This is a great news. Also i think this is a inspiration news for all the chain smokers. In my thinking Every smokers should give up smoking and invest their money in Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin price is now so good and its price must be hit $100k soon.

This was what I posted on 6th March.


After 8 days, let's calculate the ROI for the OP from his investment in Bitcoin.

Current exchange rate is 1 BTC = $60,431

As per the last update, OP had purchased BTC0.015054 in 6 weeks (and probably stopped after that). The current net worth of his investment stands at €761, which represents an appreciation of +81% in just two weeks.

I ain't a smoker, didn't thought cigerattes cost that much, and at the same time can't imagine you can smoke 1 pack of cigarettes per day. Haha. Just kidding.  :D

Goodluck on your journey, actually I knew some people who temporarily quit their bad habits to invest in crypto, but now they're back again doing the same. But I'm sure you won't do the same, I hope. And that indeed is wise choice, just be consistent, I'm sure you'll make lots of return on your investment.

This is a great decision tho most times it ain't easy to stop smoking but with determination sure you can, I did liked your own pattern of trying to stop smoking, in the process you stand a chance of stopping unhealthy behavior which is smoking and you would surely become wealthy in the process because if you keep investing $70 weekly in bitcoin then in a year you would be a rich guy much more richer than your current state because bitcoin will keep rising and your investment will keep increasing. So your decision will make you get rid of smoking and also make you rich at same time.

Yes I heard some people also like that they wanted to quit smoking and they do their bad habits again which is bad because it's not good to their health and some of them is my uncle.

Instead of spending some amount of money to the bad habits it is really good if they use it as investing to the investment like the cryptocurrency who will gives you a good future than doing smoking who bad to your health and lost your money too.

you made the right decision. 
Quit smoking and decide to invest cigarette money into bitcoin every week, I think it is the right decision but very hard to implement. 
Since people usually only make decisions like that but are not implemented, they can only resist smoking for a few months. 
But if it is to invest in bitcoin it is a very bright idea.  You can take care of your health and the health of the environment, and in fact, you can get more when you invest in bitcoin.

 Good luck.

This is a very good endeavor that you have started and I think more people should follow you.

Or even if you don't give up on something you like, you can just follow the principle: "pay yourself first". That is, every time you receive money before you pay your monthly bills or allocate your money for other things - set aside money for yourself first. And it is best that this is 10% of the amount you received. And this must be repeated every time / month.

I think back to when I quit smoking and thought about saving that money. Eventually, with the money I put aside, I just ate it, didn’t invest. I was 20 years old then. I’m smoking now, but I was inspired by your story. I’ll throw it all in a crypto!

If OP is still doing this resolution of his, I'm sure he gained pretty good profit from it but since he planned to accumulate bitcoins, he doesn't care about the prices as he indicates in his post.

I hope OP will update his weekly table to see his entry prices and his accumulated bitcoins.

To be honest, I must say that you changed your life with a secured way where you can get better life in the future. We all know that smoking is injuries to health but we often take it as relaxation as many people who take it they claimed it is just for relaxation. Quiting smoking is the best thing for your life. Hoping for the best for you and good luck for your new journey to invest in Bitcoin.

you are already thinking smart, besides you try to help deal with global warming, you also try to educate many people if connecting is important. there are many benefits of saving and you have succeeded in getting these benefits in crypto so this can be one of the best examples for everyone to be able to emulate these good things

Is it effective? I like this idea - would try to try this out, however prices of Bitcoin is quite high now and investing won't really make a huge difference in my portfolio. I'll give it a shot regardless.

You are doing a really nice thing as smoking has no benefit for you but buying Bitcoin has. You can do a really big investment in time and I also believe that you will make a really good profit if you are patient and like HODLing. I have never smoked in my life and don't even think about it at all. And I also invest in Bitcoin which helped me make a nice profit so far.  ;D

I believe it's a great decision of your life. I support you because Smoking will not give you a future but bitcoin will give you a brighter future.
smoking will give you many big disease as like Cancer, Asthma, Stroke etc. But Bitcoin will give you a great future. I mean BITCOIN will change your life.

Smoking is an individual choice, so I don't want to comment on it. The important thing here is that no one should be left behind. Those who have heard about Bitcoin can allot a small amount every week or every month, to invest in BTC. In case of OP, he has stopped smoking and decided to invest in BTC using that amount. For others, it is not necessary that they need to stop hobbies such as smoking. They can secure the funds from other sources, as per their convenience.

- This theory would be commended and very convincing if we bought bitcoin by the time it was created or maybe a few years later but for the present moment, this theory may only give us more incentive to give up some bad habits and focus more on making money, it could no longer help us make more bitcoin when the cost became more expensive proportional to the popularity of bitcoin. This idea used to be a great plan but right now, it's too late, even though we can invest in bitcoin with little money, the chances of profit are not too great.

Investing is obviously better than smoking

For 3 days I have not smoked and decided to reward myself - it is certainly not an investment in BTC, but still - bought for $500 cryptocurrency - exm. Already earn 50%. Thank you, TC!

Guys, this guy it a genius.

I donot know him or her personally but, this seems cool for anybody who wants to get rid of bad habit.
 Investing into a more profitable habit!!

Almost everyone has some habit that is gradually taking away some cash from them!!


A few days back i was counting the numbers of these bottles Vermouth red wine because i usually keep most of the bottles.
Now, it getting upto 100 pcs.  Pls, let nobody add-up this figure for me because i'm not interested,

The price per one is 2.50 euro

Thanks

It doesnt really need for you to be a genius on doing something like this because this is particularly showing off dedication on quitting smoking at the same time he do  earn on doing that by saving up the money
instead.It not needing a critical thinking of yours but rather a very strong will to quit into something or simply self control and discipline.

In your case on saving up those bottles then theres no shameful thing as long it is legal then i dont see a point on why people should discriminate those kind of acts.

As long you do make money on a clean way, no matter what method it is then its still a viable thing to be done.

Way better than spending your money for nothing, worse, it can harmed your health. Setting by example this guy made a good choice
and for sure by now everything has been working in his favor.


No question about it, unless you are a chainsmoker who can't live without smoking. :P


Even in small form that still count as investment right? Taking action would really beneficial instead of wasting money.

EXM? Do you mean this coin? (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/exmo-coin/)
Or it's a typo and you mean to say that you've bought XEM instead? Well, if you've gained 50% and you're able to quit for 3 days. Continue what you've started and push it until you make your own thread sharing your journey.

You choose the right direction to pursue in your life by doing that weekly buying of bitcoin as your investment in the crypto currency, someday you will become one of the most successful investor in this community.

While smoking you're breaking your own body but investing now is building your own life and the future of your family, and that's great decision to choose to have a better life someday.

Quitting smoking and investing it in BTC is the coolest thing one can do. You not only saved your life but also got money as your savings. Right now its not good to buy btc at high rate but its more profitable than buying cigarettes.  

So what one should do if he wants to quit cigarettes and wants to buy bitcoin? Wait for the dip? what if the dip comes and the price is still considered by you and the others as a high price yet the potential can be higher than the price you think is high.
It's always a good time to buy bitcoin if you have a game plan on how long you should hold it and at how much you're gonna sell it.

Very Inspiring , How i wish that all those smokers up there will consider the same  as what OP does and now having His own good funds just because he had escaped smoking .
OP any Update how much had you already invested now and how much in Bitcoin?  if you have just did that long time ago when the price of Bitcoin is just 3 digits ? you'll be a Millionaire by now from Bitcoin Investing .He is concern about His health and since he is a Bitcoin believers then he decided to convert the Budget because smokers usually has a Budget for smoke.

Much better you might be in double profit now. I think if I give up 1 year, I can buy a car. If it was possible, I would try it. But I don't think it's possible by me.

Indeed! it's not for health alone but the outome for doing this is also helping yourself financially.

Vices that turned to fortune, it's a good move since there are lots of people dying from disease that smoking brings them, deciding to
quit is one thing then investing it to the right asset is another. A well organize investment resulting to a very huge success from the
current market value of Bitcoin.


If there's a will, there's a way. It's you to decide and control your future, trying  to do the same with OP
Benefits you  a lot.

Many people are into problem because of lacks of business strategies and investment, so diverting physical cash or finance used in smoking tobacco and cannabis into bitcoin investment is nice idea because smoking can only keep your system active and  also causes harm to the immune system, now putting the finance together to buy bitcoin is a welcomed development and achievement of life.

Everything that is for health is fine, the fact that you have stopped smoking and that instead of smoking you buy Bitcoin is something that I admire a lot, I know that smoking is a vice, and everything to improve your life it's profitable.

From the financial point of view, you serve as an example of improvement, in addition $ 70 a week destined for Bitcoin is worthy of admiration, first because very few have that capacity to allocate that money to investment, second; many want to do the same as you and do not have the income to do it, you are a privileged person and also blessed.

Now every time I enter this section of the forum I will be following your thread, Pro-Bitcoin people are very intelligent, they are on the right train. I have passed this thread to several friends that I have who are smokers, casino players who do not quit smoking, I hope your experience inspires them.

OP is saying that he used to spend $70 on cigarettes every week. That is a huge number. Translates to $300 per month. In many of the developing nations, the monthly income comes to just around half of this amount. Obviously one of the reasons for this huge price tag is the high level of taxes being charged by governments on cigarettes. When you purchase a pack of cigarettes for $10, around $8 of it goes to the government.

Your idea is wonderful! It should be popular among the population. Maybe it will help others who also want to stop smoking. Investing in that way is really reasonable. We are sure that your investments will be useful!

This is awesome decision by you and I hope other smokers will follow it.
Smoking kills you while BTC will make you rich. Your small investment today will give you big returns tomorrow and you will be more happy when you will look back at your decision.

One of the best Example i ever read in this forum, Smoking is the baddest thing People ever discovered and take so quitting will really save you from everything bad to come.

Looking forward for You OP to become a Millionaire anytime soon with this decision you made in favor of your health and also in your financial benefits.

Yes they have two benefits will Op will get first is their health is safe from the lung cancer or complication due to addicting cigarettes which is one of his priority as a person. Last is you have chances to get a lot of profit because instead of using his money to buy a cigarettes he is now spending his money to buy a bitcoin that can lead for him to become a millionaire and I hope he will be consistent to his promise to himself..

2 birds in one stone eh? This decision did really give out 2 benefits on op which is a good health plus that possible profits that he can make on holding or saving up bitcoin.

This isn't something simple that a cigar smoker could ever do on where completely stopping on point just for that sake of goal in mind.This do really require strong self control and discipline.

I wonder if he does still continue yet this thread hasn't been updated anymore.

What you said is true, it is not easy for smokers to quit smoking. Because I have a friend who is also a smoker and several times he tried to stop
his smoking habit, always failing. Because smoking can be addictive, even my friend would prefer not to eat than not to smoke. Therefore
the richest person in my country is the owner of a cigarette factory. Because in my country there are a lot of active smokers and I really regret that.
As you said to quit smoking they have to have a strong intention and also have to be disciplined. Hopefully the opening post will provide another update,
because this can be very motivating for smokers, to get rich enough to stop smoking and buy Bitcoin.

How cool you are. Not many people are brave to take this decision. Many of us feel that smoking is about everything and it is very very difficult to quit smoking. And this is absolutely great decision to stop smoking and use the money for investment in BItcoin. I think you will be very successful if you can really maintain this.

Smoking is bad for health and also for finances, but we still can't quit smoking. sometimes, I am laughing for myself, but really hard to stop and always search for many justifications about this. ;D ;D

It would have been much more cooler if the Eucalyptus guy (OP) was kind enough to give some recent updates on this. The last time he posted on Bitcointalk was almost two months back, and for the last three months, he hasn't updated this thread. It looks to me that he has gone back to his smoking habit (which is not surprising, 90% of those who attempt to stop smoking are unable to do that), and has stopped the weekly investment strategy in Bitcoin.

Good day to all. Advise a newbie cryptocurrency exchange and bitcoin wallet. I read it myself here https://wilhard.ru/bitcoin/kak_deshevo_kupit_bitkoin_za_rubli/?utm_source=vi&utm_medium=sha&utm_campaign=forums&utm_content=buy-bitcoin (https://wilhard.ru/bitcoin/kak_deshevo_kupit_bitkoin_za_rubli/?utm_source=vi&utm_medium=sha&utm_campaign=forums&utm_content=buy-bitcoin), but I want to hear the opinions of others.

And thanks in advance for your reply ;)

I am glad to hear that you quit smoking in this way. This is really a good way. It not only opens the door to cryptocurrency for you, but also helps you quit smoking, so that you can gain wealth and health at the same time.

I really admire you. I don't have the resilience to quit smoking and alcohol. I have a stable job but a lot of pressure with a salary of 800 $ -1000 $ / month. Each month I enjoy parties with friends and colleagues spending about 300 $. $ 100 cigarettes. If I give up all I will have ฿0,006/ month or 1 BNB / month :)) Lol, it's a waste after I read your plan sharing!

You will be amazed how much you can save if you start buying food in the shops only to kill the hunger, stay healthy and cook at home instead of eating fastfood junk for lunch at work. Reduce the amount of chips/cookies/soda/candies bought and stop buying food just to fill the fridge and shelves in the kitchen or more than you could eat, and your usual grocery store check will be two times smaller.

I used to have a vision like empty fridge and table = hunger = being poor. So I used to buy a lot of food and later throw a significant part of them because they are expired. One could run a 30day marathon of buying only necessary food and investing $10-20 in bitcoin from every purchase and see how the much earned/saved.

Good choice for your health and your wallet 👌

You don't have to be just glad because I think that amazed is the best word because I have heard from other chainsmokers that they want to quit but they can't seem to do it which means that OP has an iron will to quit, not to mention that he is making a lot of money instead of slowly killing himself.

Most people may not be able to follow your life's journey like me, but if you think about it, it is true that cigarettes only waste money. But in some countries, cigarettes are a source of income.
I think this is one of the actions to combat the dangers of smoking, hmmm I'm interested in your statement ...
Hopefully you can live it and I too can participate in following the path ..

OP can also try intermittent fasting to save MORE money, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting

There are a few ways to implement this, but the most popular is 16:8. 16 hours of fasting, and an 8 hour duration for eating. Download the Fastic app. It explains all the benefits of fasting on your physical health, and mental well-being.

It impresses me a lot. Here is an example that a person is above his vices. I also need to quit smoking - today it becomes an expensive pleasure. As for buying Bitcoin every week, I have been buying it every week for a long time, for different amounts that can be painlessly withdrawn from the family budget, regardless of its price. Quitting smoking, of course, will free up a certain amount. Perhaps Bitcoin is not a panacea for various obstacles in this life, but the fact that it is a miracle that can make some people quit smoking is for sure.

I have asked this before on another forum and got some supportive answers. This concerns about my friend who quit smoking but was not able to invest his supposed smoking money to bitcoin for the past five years that he stopped smoking. He asks if it is not too late to invest in cryptocurrency and I simply told him that it is not yet over for people to invest even if Bitcoin already shot to 60k and down back to the 50k mark. Just don't stop believing in yourself.

you really made the best choice you could make, by quitting smoking slowly you will have better health and more energy, with the money saved by investing it in crypto you will see that it will be a choice you will not regret, even I'm trying to quit smoking by passing to vaping but it is not easy after so many years, I wish you to continue like this and keep us updated for future evolutions  ;)

Yes, that is right. Good choice for your friend that he has asked if it's too late to invest.
It is time for every person that has a vice to turn it to a more promising activity by converting their vice money into investment in bitcoin. They want to secure if it is not too late and that question will always be asked but they do not act based from the answer that has been said.

Very motivating, there will be many benefits if you quit smoking, you will save the money and invest in crypto and you will also invest for your own health. good luck

I agree with your point of view. Quit smoking and buy Bitcoin every day. This is great for you. Because smoking is very harmful to health, suffering from many diseases and a lot of money. Instead, Bitcoin investment can bring you large profits. You need to think of how to make money better than finding cigarettes. Calling smoking as soon as your life is higher and does not harm people around.

The decision you've made just now is really admirable and I'm looking forward to the result of your investment in the future. One thing for sure is that it's a win-to-win scenario for you but you should also consider buying BTC at a low price. Sooner or later you'll become a business-oriented person. Keep it up

I guess you're right about this one, investment is still an investment regardless of the amount. I'm starting now and I can say that I'm really happy with my decision. Instead of Bitcoin, I invested in Altcoins, where prices are quite low - with a decent volume of coins available in the market.

Is it really that necessary? This might be ending up on saving more but compromising again your body because of fasting then it isnt really worth.

I havent read it up though on what are the pro's and cons but i dont see that we should be going into this extent. Balanced diet is preferrable and shouldnt really be altered
just because you are tending to save up. For OP's situation then this is addiction or a vice which it should really be stopped because this can really heavily
affect your lungs.

I really appreciate the OP's decision. Choosing to quit smoking is a good decision, and choosing to switch to that btc investment is a very good decision.
Op will have a healthier body because it is free from harmful substances from cigarette smoke, and has a pretty good investment with the DCA approach (buy assets regularly, weekly or monthly, with the same capital)

for those who still smoke today, I know, it's not easy to decide to quit smoking, but it's not impossible. do it for your health and those closest to you, the bonus is you get a good investment.

I agree with your choice, because smoking can not make you rich and of course it only costs you money, but if you buy Bitcoin every week, then of course it will make you rich in the future and I am sure you will never regret choosing this right decision, therefore I hope you will never change your decision, because your choice will change your life to the rich man in the future.

I appreciate your performance and I say you are very motivating. I think this is a good way, because we know that the price of cigarettes is very expensive. I want you to make a posting thread if you have succeeded in this so that it can motivate other people to choose bitcoin instead of buying unhealthy things like cigarettes

Vices like this that you able to overcome is a good achievement not only financially but also for your physical health.

You inspired a lots of people for taking this step and with how you been compensated with this journey, it's really awesome if you still
doing the same, the market value of those converted amount really bringing good earnings from the first time it's posted till now
that current price is really huge.

The decision was relatively wise but I don't know if he will succeed because as you say, smoking is a very easy thing but giving up is another story, hopefully he will soon reach out to doctors to get the most specific plan, instead of handling it from his personal point of view. Successful implementation of the plan will be very good for health and improving lives, talking about the benefits in bitcoin, if he did this early, success would be within his reach today but looking at the timeline here, perhaps the amount of investment has not reached a large number, quite a pity for one plan

Buying Bitcoin weekly is a great way to save money. Buying continuously regardless of downtrend or uptrend is a way to increase the number of Bitcoins over time. According to what has happened and is happening, Bitcoin will still increase in value in the long term so please continue to believe and buy.
I advise you to buy Bitcoins via OTC and leave them on centralized exchanges to reduce transaction costs such as withdrawals or costs of buying through a visa card.

I think this the best decision of your life.Coz smoking is injurious to our health. This will keep your health well and you can save lot o money every week.You can invest many others site. I will advice you"You can buy some valuable token and hold long time.Others, You can buy some coin.It will work in the future Keep your decision steady . Best of luck.

It is really a right decision from you. Now, you will be able to save some money and can use in different needs. But I think amount is tinny for buying bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is so high now. It is better to buy some altcoins which price is very cheap but enough potential.

The best anyone can do to achieve greatness in life. It's not easy to quit smoking especially when one is addicted in it. OP will never regret this action of quitting smoking to invest massively in bitcoin, this should be an example to those who think investing in bitcoin is a waste of resources and time. Considering the time frame according to this post, OP has done more investment reasonably and kudos.

This is really interesting and appreciable.  Smoking will kill you and spend a lot of money but investing will give you money. So better option you have choose.

I love your strong willed resolution, followed with a liberating financial plan. Looking back today you would forever appreciate the bold step you took. I wish many more could emulate your steps and walk towards freedom by buying asset instead of deadly liabilities.

Its a good decision tho. Because spending money with cigarette is like you want those company becomes so rich on their business. So much better to invest your money to bitcoin because surely you're the one who can get benefits not other people.. Indeed its not good for our health so its a good decision to choose bitcoin to have a good income as well..

Good for you OP because not many has the will to quit something that they had been doing for a long time or addicted to it, I have read some testimonies about smokers and addicts that they know that what they are doing is bad but they don't seem to be able to explain why they can't stop, it's just that they want to do it no matter what. I hope that with the money you save from smoking and being invested in bitcoin makes a good deterrent for a relapse.

This is a good start to better health as many here would agree it will kill you, so why not put that money into your future instead.
Some have done this another way:
Instead of buying a cup of coffee each day, put that money into buying bitcoin instead.
That would be a better marketing strategy for those cryptocurrency exchanges you see their commercial for every day.

absolutely right, this is a good choice for the OP and indeed this should at least be followed I guess for myself :D
Not without reason because with this I feel you are leaving your life which can indeed be said to be unhealthy because smoking and the money you allocate to cigarettes is replaced by the regular adoption of bitcoin.
This is a good thing and suitable to be imitated for people who want to change their life habits

Quit smoking to invest bitcoin, this is a very good choice because you will get two benefits, health and also Profits from investing and that is if you do it consistently because it takes a process to stop smoking and the risk will always feel hungry in the early stages.
smoking is the same as burning your hard earned money and quitting smoking to buy bitcoin is a smart choice to create a better future.
OP good luck and according to plan and you have a good plan and advice for those who smoke to think like you.

Not just a very good choice but definitely the best choice that a person could do- quit your haphazard habit and switch it up to something meaningful that will benefit you in the future.

As far as I know, people who smoke cigarettes spend an average $2,000 yearly on this habit alone. If you were able to remove this dangerous habit that could also ruin your health in the long-run, you are actually doing yourself a favour. Not only do you save lots of money from this process, but you also earn from investing into BTCs and HODL it for long-term. The other benefit is also your health as you would be able to witness your investments profiting two to threefold during your lifetime.

Smoking is not investment and buying Bitcoin is investment and noticing this in time will make you to understand the way forward of investment, rejecting smoking and turn the money to bitcoin is wise ideas because no profit for smoking it only destroy internal organs and destroy other things that supports life, investment bring joy if it yields well and Bitcoin is one of the investment that will give support to life if you practice it well

Nothing beats out on the talks about health because we know that this is wealth which is more worth than money because whats money or richness if you alone couldn't able to make use of those because

you are already ill or something have health problems and money is just been spent for maintenances and hospitalization? If you do really mind your health for long term then you would definitely

consider this one out not only for the sake of investment or savings but rather minding on ones health for longer runs because we know that it is unknown on when
we do last on this world so cherish out on being healthy and avoid things which could really put you in harm.
