Bitcoin Forum

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

It's just because they don't know, they don't have the knowledge of it so it takes someone to tell them about it so they can have that knowledge, but to most of them they are addicted to it and it can only take the grace of God for them to change automatically.

They don't know what life is and the money that they're burning through that vice is from their parents. Once they grow up and welcomed to the corporate and real world, they're going to take care of the money that they earn. For now, they're not going to understand it but I see some that are extraordinary and wise with how they take care of their money. Those teenagers that are able to have a grit and able to earn some money, they're wising up on how they can prolong that and wanting to invest somewhere else.

The thinking should be like that but not everyone can be extraordinary and they have to learn the hard way before they realize that the money that they have in their possession should be spent wisely. And this isn't just for buying cigarettes but also other addiction and vices that they're burning or putting their money into waste. A day will come that will analyze their situation and will have a contemplation on themselves on how much they've spent already for those things that caused them nothing but throwing money.

While the other people that they're inspired with how they're good in money handling and managing it the right way, they're going to realize it. Everyone has their own time to grow, in money, in life and financial knowledge. Those that have learned it through several mistakes, they're the ones that are likely the successful ones and those that have been trying all of the time, they're seeing themselves that one day they'll also be good. So, save up, invest, buy Bitcoin and other assets that they can afford that they shall hold for a long time.

Indeed if most people should calculate the amount of money they had spend on smoking since they started till now they will actually be surprised with how much they will realize and funny enough not just only on smoking but for so many other things like drinking and gambling, though I'm not saying that gambling is bad but excessive gambling is not advisable because so many persons who has become an addict today has lost so much money on gambling because I no of someone who lost $1000 a week in gambling and that wasn't actually the first time, so perhaps imagine if he had putting majority of the money into Bitcoin he would actually gone far on his Bitcoin investment now, so actually the best thing is that even if they cannot actually stop it totally but at least they should be able to reduce the rate at which they normally do those things or perhaps diversify some of those money into investing on Bitcoin.

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

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

They can do e-learning with free sources on Internet and find jobs in cryptocurrency but it's not main focus for them. It should be their part time activities when they already fulfill their learning at college or university.

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

Mate, that is much easier said than done.

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

It is not easy but smokers have to fight to overcome the addiction. They can seek professional help if it has become uncontrollable. Stopping an addicted behaviour is not easy but it is a worthy task to keep fighting for your freedom. I have seen people who smoke even against the advice of the doctor and it ended up affecting their help and even led to death. I have been their before and I can tell you that it needs lots of discipline and determintion.

if we calculate how much money is burned by smokers, maybe it will reach hundreds or thousands of dollars in a year. but we are just a third party who can only calculate how much money is spent by others, but what about us? what about the money we spend on gambling or on snacks or other things? because if we calculate it, maybe it will be equivalent to the money spent by a smoker and can we invest in bitcoin? because it is very easy to judge others compared to doing it ourselves. no need to say that smokers should quit smoking to invest in bitcoin, just do it yourself, because you will only waste your time when you lecture others.

Unfortunately addictions are things that stick close to your life with the addict having less and less power to control it. Nicotine is highly addictive and giving it up means horrible withdrawal symptoms that the person has to deal with during the process of deaddiction.

Indeed, I have been lucky enough to not smoke or drink and been able to use that money "saved" to invest. But these addictions will continue in future as people are wooed by so called "e-cigarettes" and so on as the companies dont want to go down making these shit.

The only way is to make people aware, smoking does not make you cool, it kills you and your family by causing cancer. But nobody really cares about what we preach.

OP, nice survey you made, the quote you put up is very similar to your personal life. You must now realize how much money you have wasted. If I'm not mistaken, you mean an attempt to save money from student life and then use the money for the later part of student life. Basically, how many people can actually take these challenges, if very high, ten out of 100 people will succeed. Anyway I mean if you have quit smoking then good and if you haven't then try to quit now keep saving money. Find small sources of income from which you can pool money and invest in Bitcoin, the time is not yet over.

The reality is that the last thing that someone that's in a state of addiction will ever think of is to get himself out of the mess and convert the money he he's using for such stuff into investing into his future. If they even invest into Bitcoin before taking care of thier mental health, they will always at some point in time sell off thier Bitcoin and use the money to buy cigarette or any substances they've been addicted into. If you don't take care of some other important aspect of your life, you will end up blowing your investment out when it gets tough.

Investing into any meaningful stuff mostly comes to play when you're able to figure out how to live reasonably and worth out your basic need and then you can now make provision for an amount that's going into your investment and then another than can sort out your basic needs as well as serve as your emergency funds.bif you're yet to fix these aspect of your life, the possibility of being able to effectively invest into Bitcoin or another asset will be too slim.

That's why I never advocate teaching bitcoin investment to teenagers, especially students, there are many things worth learning and many things they need to learn to prepare for a future. Bitcoin is just an investment like many investments like gold or stocks, it is not an essential thing that anyone should have because many people are still rich without knowing what bitcoin is.

But in the scenario OP gave, I would support them saving money to invest in bitcoin instead of using money their parents gave them to use stimulants like cigarettes or alcohol. It not only affects their learning but also affects their health, and even destroys their health and future if addicted.

Whether smoking is on the rise currently seems to be a complicated question. It was falling, but then the process was stalled by the pandemic. In any case, there is a significant amount of smokers, and you can add other bad habits like alcohol here as well. It's certainly better to invest the money that could go on these habits into Bitcoin. This way, you're taking a risk with your money, which may or may not pay off, whereas with smoking and drinking you are taking a risk with your health, and there's only a matter of how much you lose but winning is out of question.

Well, you have a point. However, instead of spending for their smoking habit, they should divert that one into learning to save, at least when they graduate from school, they still have savings to buy presents for theirselves or just continue saving to fund their future investment. Although investment opportunities are bigger when they land a stable job, but it’s not a loss for them if they start saving early for their future and not just waste their money on a vice that won’t make any good for them but will only put their health into danger.

I smoke, but nevertheless, I still count and make investments of any kind.
Students should not invest; don't teach them to do this as they are not yet mentally or emotionally stable.

Bullshit, cigarettes don't affect your age, for real.

Very well said.

All of us have some addictions probably. Maybe not as harmful as smoking nor as extensive but I am sure a lot of us are spending on things that would have been better if we had spent it on investing in bitcoin. But smoking should really be discouraged just from the fact that it’s unhealthy on the body.

It is true, you can save a lot of Money if you saved the cost of every single cigarette you smoke.

But on the other hand I believe the people who smoke would still not save enough Money even if they stopped.  I am saying this because I see a lot of both smokers and non smokers who still have no money put to the side.  Why are the non smokers not Richer than the smokers?

Some body who wants to save Money would save whether they smoke or not.  Whether they are living on the edge or not.  It is all about their mentality.  You can smoke only a little bit less and save the rest.  You can smoke as much as you wish and still save.  If you want to save, just save.

Every juvenile once made a mistake at a certain point in life but what determines the gravity of the mistake ^{(either in terms of spending, no decision making, or the wrong company)} is the society where the juvenile grow up in and the model of living of his/her family.
The major things affecting us today are because some parents themselves are still kids in terms of maturity and the earlier we correct all this the better we have a society where we will see few or no youths with drug problem.
OP, it is good you learned the hard way, the better is for you to prevent your young ones from making the same mistake you did and let them know the importance of Bitcoin investment.

Sometimes I do sit and think about what some people see in smoking. I don’t see anything interesting or useful about smoking, all I see is people trying to kill themselves. Some people can do everything in their power just to get money and smoke, and after smoking, they will start doing crazy things, causing problems in society. What surprises me most is that even the younger generation is getting addicted to smoking. How I wish something could be done to stop that.

Do you think smokers care about there future? They don’t care about future investments, all they want is to get money and smoke. Don’t be surprised that some smokers end up selling their investments when they don’t have money to smoke, and they will end up spending all the money on smoking. Some of them do say they don’t know maybe they will be alive to see the future, which you are asking them to invest for, So asking them to invest is just a total waste of time.

It is easy to make those calculations but it is very difficult to actually do what you claim, first of all cigarettes are very addictive and it is a struggle for those people to stop smoking, also a young person will very rarely think that long term and save so much money over such a small monthly expense, and finally while investing at such a young age is the right path to take, very few people actually invest in anything, so the person which could do all of those three things must be extraordinary to accomplish all of this at such an early age.

Some people even if they are aware of such opportunities they never actually take them which is a shame for them. But that is just because their focus isn’t on the future yet. Kids nowadays rarely have that in mind. They just want to have fun so even if they know about crypto, they will not dedicate money for that.

What exactly do you mean by "students don't invest, and they shouldn't be taught to do this because they are not mentally or emotionally stable"? What level of students do you think op is talking about or referring to, did he mention that the students he is talking about are nursery or elementary pupils?

Man, gets your facts right and stop this misinformation, the best time for one to start to invest, or learn to start investing is when they are in collage, or any body from 15 years and above can invest as long as they are well guided.

I did not read any where where op said cigarettes affects one's age, and besides, is age an important factor in human death? The answer is No, because even a child can die if he or she is not well taken care of.

Cigarettes doesn't affect your age, but it does destroy your internal organs, like your liver and lungs, but then, this things are things we cant see with our eyes, so it's often not believed by many, most especially smokers like yourself.

But there's no one really to start helping them know about what to do. I have a friend who was able to do what you wanted, learn about investments, and businesses at around 11th or 12th grade iirc, and he managed to grow that business pretty big. Pretty sure he has his own startup right about now, and still growing. And you can see how that's unique since he's like one out of the hundreds of people I know in my locality.

Yes, in hindsight, I definitely would've loved investing in Bitcoin and learning about it back when it was just new, but that's the me now. The me back then probably wouldn't give a crap lol, and that was me actually hearing about it before back then!

Well, people who are addicted to any vices won't realize that until they run out of money and have nothing to run anymore to sustain their vices, or their health are already in bad condition, that's when they realize that what they're doing is bad for them. For now, since they are totally dependent to their parents, they will continue to smoke and waste their allowance, but maybe once they have their own family, they will realize that it's better to save up for money so they can invest into something that has potentials wherein their kids will benefit in the future.

sometimes i keep wondering what could be their profit from smoking cigarettes just imagine wasting this huge amount of money for something that can't even add any value to our life, actually is a very big Fed up to mankind, most of them are addicted to the extend that even if you advice them to limit from smoking cigarettes they will look at you as a bad friend because they think that's the best life to live, without knowing that they're making a very big mistake that they will regret in future to come.

Smoking and alcohol are highly addictive, and my advice for teenager is never to start it at all, because once you are addicted it only takes almost an impossible route to overcome such huck, and those that smoke, drink or do all the other addictive activities can never have the right frame of mind to save up money, since there is always a push in them to buy more drugs and test new breed of those drugs, secondly their mental health is already affected so they can't think rationally about money and how to multiply the money through savings.


Before you introduce Bitcoin to the, you must first of all make sure to help them overcome they addictions, if not they won't have the patience and zeel for any other productive thing like saving and other financial activities that can bring a productive lifestyle for them.

Students can do both investment (if they have the money) and learning at the same time so I do not think that attending school is an excuse to not invest in any good investment venture.  I am with @OP when he stated that instead of burning money on smoking, it is much better if these students are informed about a possible investment venture that can yield them a good profit in the future.  These investment can give these kids a headstart after they had graduated since they may have a good enough fund to support them on their wanted venture.


I disagree, life is not that long and opportunities missed are hard to come by again.  The same thing with the price of Bitcoin when it was on its earlier days.  Besides, investing on something does not need a person to fully spend his whole day every day on it like when investing on BTC, they just need to buy and secure the wallet holding the BTC and wait for the day it hits their target price.  So they can still focus on their study after their investment in Bitcoin.

Education and school are two different metrics. A child need to get educated and the means is through school, there are some education that can be learn at home but only the parents can't impact everything on a child, they need to go to school and the way is money, it will cost a child money to get educated and you think it's a waste to get educated? That's very wrong of you to say such.

Life isn't all about investments, without education it's useless. From where I'm coming from, it's a crime if a child doesn't get educated because it's lack of education that makes children not be to serious with their life's and many became irrelevant to the society, forget about this thought of abandoning education for investment.

This situation you have described is also common in my neighborhood, youths increasingly becoming addicted to smoking and drugs. It is almost a trend and peer influence is driving this seriously. Maybe we are now in an unhappy generation, a generation where children suffer depression thereby resorting to various substances for solace. I just picture a situation where these youths can properly be guided into channeling these monies they waste in weed and drugs into investing in something that will settle them for life which is Bitcoin.

I know that El Salvador that have legalized Bitcoin have a process in place where children are taught about Bitcoin and the Blockchain technology at a very tender age. These ones might definitely consider investing their pocket money into Bitcoin and that is one great thing their government have done for them. In countries where such programs and policies are not in place, individuals can make such effort like some members of these forum had posted about their outreach to schools, teaching them about Bitcoin. These are things that should be encouraged.

I don't smoke, yet i am not rich, meanwhile there are a lot rich people who smoke everyday. :D

You cannot tell people to stop what they love doing and save or invest every single penny they earn, we all have certain trivial things we spend money on, you have to enjoy life, you can't buy BTC with all of your money. However, it is important to be responsible in your spendings, there should be amounts you set aside to invest, and BTC is a good option, there should also be amounts you keep for having fun and doing what you enjoy.

As a student, you really don't have a choice do you? I mean unless you've got a part-time job, you're probably going to be not earning a lot of money, you're basically regretting over nothing OP, in my opinion, you should've just become better at your studies because there's no way that you'd never use that good school record and not get a good job especially if you're really good at your course and what you're trying to do, you'd easily get high paying jobs that you can have and then you buy bitcoin with those hard-earned money. You don't have to regret anything OP, bitcoin's still here and you'd never be left behind in terms of investing because bitcoin's for the long-term.

No one ever thinks as deeply as you. I like your advice very much. If someone doesn't smoke and hoard bitcoins or cash, his future will be very bright but if he hoards bitcoins his future will be much brighter. We waste a lot of money in our daily life, if we proceed with a little awareness, we will not have to suffer much in the future. If a student quits smoking and saves or invests money from a young age, this money will definitely create a lot of backup in the future.

I do not smoke I am not addicted to smoking. Many people may have this addiction to smoking, I will tell them to quit smoking, this smoking is a very bad addiction, it not only wastes money but also destroys a life. Let us who smoke and waste be aware, stop smoking and prevent waste. If we can stop smoking and prevent waste, we can certainly create a better life.

If you're doing well in school, wouldn't you have higher chance of getting a high paying job? I mean bitcoin is just there after all, your investment in bitcoin can wait. Don't ever risk your future career just because bitcoin is a really good investment for the long-term, remember that you can't just pull out any of your investments in bitcoin just to supplement your needs, you need a stable income after all so you can hodl your bitcoin in peace.

There is a point in what you are saying, if reckless spending or money used in smoking by most individuals not necessarily students is been accumulated and used for Bitcoin investment it would have been better but my question is how achievable this can be, I said this because it has become a usual saying and believe of individuals but we think of this good whenever people wallow in reckless abandoned with funds, I come to realize that even when we are not smokers, there must be something that will be making us to spend our money it might not be much but a little fractions would have been saved if we had acted smartly.
Op, although most of this things were done blindly, some people regret this actions because it started as a play but unfortunately addiction came in, I am not an advocate of smoking since I understand the medical effect of smoking, I always advice people to quit, but realistically, even though you are not a smoker saving up this amount of money as you said will be unrealistic if one is not decipline and determined to do so.

It is very good advice, for those who smoke and waste money unnecessarily, it may be better to quit smoking and invest in bitcoins. Smoking is injurious to health so one should refrain from smoking. Now if someone wastes a certain amount of money smoking every month then it would be better for them to invest that amount in Bitcoins in DCA method. Now if you invest small amount in DCA method for 8-10 years then it will be seen that at some point your investment amount will be big. In fact, quitting smoking can be difficult for those who smoke, but quitting smoking should save money for the future. Now you are earning so you are spending in various sectors which may lead to financial crisis in future. People who smoke should quit smoking and invest in Bitcoin which will save for your future and also good for your health.

I guess that this is yet another one of the "don't spend money on X, save them and buy Bitcoin" type of forum threads.
This forum is full of active gamblers(including myself), it has an active Gambling related sub-forum and multiple casino sig campaigns.
Why don't you tell all the gamblers to quit spending money on gambling and invest in BTC? Gambling is one of the bad habits, like smoking, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, porn, gaming, etc. I don't think that anyone would listen to your advice and take financial responsibility.
Most students don't care about their long term future, because they think that they have lots of time and they will figure things out in the future. Giving advice to young people makes sense only if you are their parent or relative.

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

quote] with your degree you might have a higher paying job, but that doesn't change the fact that you won't concentrate with your studies. But on that process you smoking of your payment not remembering that their are so many ways of making money while you're still in school, okay just as you said that your investments in bitcoin just to supplement your needs. But most of them don't know that their are ways mostly when it comes to Bitcoin investments, why do you think that if they start investing with Bitcoin while their still at school. Do you really think they are taking a risk? For me they are not but only laying a strong pillar that will hold them in future purposes. But for saying don't ever risk your future career just because it's really good investment, I don't support you on that. Just as I said they aren't risking anything neither they're laying a strong ground for their future.

Many people even advise people to cut down on spending on daily necessities to invest in bitcoin, not just advising people to quit smoking or gambling to invest in bitcoin. I agree that smoking is not good for health but it can be one of the many joys people have after stressful working hours and they have the right to be entertained. People who give such advice show that they are having difficulty planning their life expenses, they do not know how to allocate money for living expenses, savings and investments. They are mixing everything together and losing balance in their lives by focusing only on bitcoin.

That is why parents must teach their children to manage their finance so they can use the money from their parents with right. They can manage their money and knows what they must do with that money. They will not use that money to something that doesn't gives benefits to them.

If their parents teach about Bitcoin, their children will trying to learning more about Bitcoin and see that Bitcoin can helps them to have investment. Investing in Bitcoin can gives them a chance to have a solution when they grow up and they can use that money for anything they wants. But unfortunately, not many parents do that instead just gives the money without teaching their children how to use that money properly.

Their parents thinks when they gives the money to their children, that is enough for them to use that money without telling how to manages the money. Children who already knows about the used of money will use that money for anything they wants. If their children use all of their money without left, they can asks their parents to gives more money to them.

You're right having other source of income is very good because this will enable us to hodl our bitcoin for long term, but if you don't have any source of income apart from bitcoin investment probably you will find it very difficult to hodl. because challenges might come from any angle since you don't have any other source of income so there will not be any other option for you than to pull out your bitcoin, This is why is very important to have a stable income.

This is the real thing about investing in Bitcoin and even in other investments. Even if you have money and the capacity to invest, not all of them will think that investment is good until they realize it, and much more on students. Because we all have different priorities and wants, especially for students they more likely prefer good vibes and spending money for enjoyment but are skeptical about future plans.

Indeed, it was regretful OP but there is perfect timing when it comes to investment. As a student, you better focus on studying and saving, just consider investing when you are fully ready. Investing is not all about money and capital and proper preparation and knowledge.

That's true. In order for a bitcoin investor to be able to hold their bitcoin or other crypto asset for the long term, they will need a stable and other sources of income. Because a holder cannot fully maximise the potential profit of long-term holding if they do not wait for a long time, that's the disadvantage of holding bitcoin, but it will be worth it, as has been proven multiple times. With a stable job and other sources of income, an investor could do DCA so that they could accumulate a huge portion of bitcoin slowly, step by step. That's why I dont really get those bitcoin investors or traders that does scalping because they only risking their asstes because they are increasing the odd or the leverage in order to earn even in short term, so its important for an investor to become more patient and could contain its self to be tempted to sell their bitcoin asset early.

You live not only thinking about investing and saving, but there are many other things you need to think about for life with your family.
Life needs to be prepared and the scale of investment, saving and meeting life's needs must also be balanced. Believe me, chasing wealth too much doesn't necessarily make your life happier because there are many rich people who don't have a happy life with their family.
Regarding the issue of saving and investing, it is necessary and must be prepared carefully in order to achieve the success you desire.
Ensuring the future must go through planning and this is done by means of well-planned adjustments. Investing and saving also requires readiness for a stable income because otherwise, none of this can be done.

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

To be honest, I think it’s not much of a disadvantage as much as it is an advantage.

Especially for those who want to earn but do not have the time to monitor closely their holdings, long term investments are the key to making profit while not stressing them. For investors who are also thinking about long term goals like family planning or retirement, bitcoin would be the best option.
I think the difference between long term holders and short term traders is their source of income. Long term holders most likely do not only rely on bitcoin to make money while traders do that’s why they need to make profit as quick as possible because there are bills to pay ;)

Unfortunately, people think that short term pleasure like smoking is better than big wealth in the future

Someone who smokes only one pack of cigarettes a day in most EU countries will spend at least EUR 5 a day, which means about EUR 150 a month or EUR 1800 a year. This is certainly a large amount of money in some countries, but it is not small even in the EU, where in some countries you have to work for at least 3 months for that amount. All this while noting that I took into account the cheapest pack of cigarettes - so some spend much more with the addition of daily coffee and alcohol consumption in cafes.

In reality, people "throw" large amounts of money literally into the wind, but in doing so they poison themselves and others - although some in this topic think that cigarettes are not harmful to health. I don't interfere in anyone's life and say what is necessary and what is not, but I can say with certainty that people would have much better quality lives if they let go of their vices.

Yet there are people who do not smoke but drink Coke.  Or who do not drink Coke or smoke either but eat fast food.  Or they do not do either, but they have a very unhealthy diet.  Or people who smoke and live up to 90 years old, but then people who live a very healthy life and die before their 20s.

I would really like to know how many of the quitters turned Rich after quitting.  Like I previously said, you can save no matter what vices you have and how shitty your life style is.  Any body can do it, even if they save a Dollar a week, that is still better than none.  But we prefer excuses instead.  Oh, only if I had not smoked for 20 years I would of been Rich today!  I quit smoking, but only if I did not purchase more fast food and clothes I would of been so Rich!

This is one reason why it is very important as parents or guardians to inculcate financial education in the life of our young ones before they even get into college and have time to indulge themselves.

The emergence of cryptocurrency not only opened our eyes to how fast the world is evolving, but it also did make us know that going to college with a degree and a good paying 9-5 job, doesn't guarantee a financial successful life. 
Investment is and has only been the right way out of poverty and the sooner we teach our kids how to invest first before they spend, the better our lives will be.

Like don't spoil them and give what they want as easy as they can since for sure that this could never give any result to certain person especially if they think that its easy for them to get something that they wanted.

For sure when they grow up they became useless individual since those people don't know anything. So much better to teach young people to think about how they can get those things that they wanted thru the efforts made since for sure in future all thing what they do and skilled learned will surely help them to build a good foundation that can give them a better life. Investment will come after that once they are fully aware of everything including the risk which those people may possibly facing on along the way on their ventures.

Sometimes habits and environment influence a person's activities. In fact, when he focuses on business such as investment, or something like that, when smoking has become a habit, and they are used to it, it is very difficult to give up. Apart from that, there will be many alibis to avoid this, for example, even people who don't smoke find it difficult to do this. Well, I think your goal is very good to give people encouragement to invest, but it all depends on their habits and environment again. Hopefully many people follow this advice.

OP mentioned starting in 9th grade, and I'm a high school teacher. That's why I can say they're not ready—at least most of them. Unless the OP says it started with college students, I wouldn't argue.

Do you actually read?

Some people use it to calm their self, relax or as a stress reliever.
While I agree that it is better for them to invest it rather than burning it, but we also need to consider why they are doing it.
Everyone of us has vices it isn't just smoking, but also drinking and other like excessive buying of things we don't really need or already have.

Also, ask how much health your students are wasting by starting to smoke at a young age and how long they have damaged their lungs. Smoking does not go unnoticed if you quit smoking today. The mark will remain for many years.
But if we translate everything into unnecessary spending, we can also say that people could limit themselves to alcohol, junk food, entertainment, and so on. But you can’t transfer everything to hoarding. This is life; people are different, they have different preferences, and we have no right to dictate to them what is good and what is bad.
The truest truth is the one you believe in. If you are investing in Bitcoin, go ahead. But let everyone else decide for themselves.


This reminds me of someone we tell him is an alcoholic. He will never admit it. ;D

No one is going to become rich in the sense that they can buy a yacht or a super luxury car if they quit smoking or eating unhealthy food - but anyone who does will very likely benefit greatly to their health - and if it is only about quitting smoking, then it will have a positive effect on the people around that person.

I can tell you that I decided a long time ago to stop smoking and eating junk food, and considering that I smoked the most expensive cigarettes and ate a lot of such food, I saved a lot of money - to put it like this vividly, enough to buy a new mid-class car and that's just for a period of 10 years. I invested a part of my saved money in BTC a long time ago, and it was the best investment ever because that BTC still exists and is worth a small fortune today ;)

If you're just going to save money, it's better to spend it on buying Bitcoin, and at least every passing day or month, even if it takes a year, for sure there will be a change in the increase in its value in the market. Then it has been tested by long-term investors.

If I look at it, it's a good thing to do if they really understand the potential of Bitcoin. For sure, all the people who like to save money at home and don't like the bank will buy it when they find out about it. of Bitcoin in real life only.

You can't force everyone to have the same belief as you, you might not consider it but those people that are smoking cigarettes, they already know that they're wasting their money on that, most of them want to relieve their anxiety since cigarettes are a pretty good way to relieve that, the only problem is that it's addictive to some level. Also, did you know that even if you've got the right answer or the right thing to do, it wouldn't matter much because they're not interested at all and they don't really care too much about what you've got to say and to them, you're an annoying person that needs to shut up.

Well, it's true that if someone doesn't buy useless and harmful things and saves money, they can use that money to make some investment or use it for something useful in the future, but I would say that one doesn't specifically need to keep saving $1 bills each day for this purpose but it is a better practice if they spend that money on food or other stuff that are beneficial for them instead of buying cigarettes and other harmful substances.

I often hear people making estimates that if we save x amount each day, we can have x amount as our capital at the end of the year that we can use to make investments, I get it, it's right, but it is better that we leave these things on our income and spend the money we have currently on things that can be beneficial for us at the present time.

As the world changes rapidly, reality becomes more difficult. OP I see what you mean, see what the non smoker did from student life? Must have spent his money from his student life on food items or traveling, this is what happens in most cases in student life. Since their parents provide three-four meals a day from home, may he must have able to save his money. The money was useful in his future as you explained with the example of a smoker. But OP I'm not disrespecting you, the point you brought up was a good one. No one thinks things through in a practical sense. But I can only work to spread these things as a message to the next generation, a young student will decide for himself how to proceed in the future life cycle.

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

Smokers are liable to die young, smoking is not a good habit to have but some people have exception when you have a health condition and you need to smoke to stay alive. You can smoke and still invest in Bitcoin to help plan you future. What you will do is to not take smoking as a continuous habit that you will be doing everyday. You can skip some day and keep that money to use in investing in Bitcoin. If you take this decision you will not regret it because when Bitcoin pumps in the future, you will be among those that will benefit because you are holding Bitcoin. There are many things that we do that are not necessary and if we kept that money to use in investment, we can have a better future after we are done with schools. You can also use that money saved to start up a business that can give you money to use in investing in Bitcoin when you have more stable income.

A lot of people calculate these, like an 8 dollar cup of coffee every morning over course of 10 years (including inflation) would worth enough to be a huge capital for a house down payment too, or smoking, or drinking, hell even like netflix subscription if you think about it.

When you combine all of this, imagine living a life where you do not smoke drink or go out or eat anything expensive, you just eat noodles, drink tap water, watch cable tv, and sleep without doing anything else and spending nothing more, I guarantee you that you will not even see retirement because you will get sick from living a terrible life. We should be able to afford these and still retire, the fact that we can't isn't our problem but capitalisms desire.

Yes, if we calculate what we have spent, I think it will make us regret it. This is just a mindset that is usually given by motivators to diligently save or invest. Unfortunately, the real situation is not like that. Sometimes we need something to make us feel better and more enthusiastic, and to make our minds feel fresh again. However, I agree that smoking can be detrimental to a person, because it has so many positive alternatives, especially at a young age.

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

Yeah that's true and it's very crucial that we should educate our young generation that investing into wrong things will only bring your personalities and health down while if you invest into the good alternatives available then it will be very beneficial for you especially for the old age.

If you want to live a successful and profitable life then you should learn how to invest amongst the best options that are available all round the world.

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

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

Indeed, there is no harm in reviewing the expenditure that we have used for the needs we need and after that we will be able to realize whether the expenditure we have used has been appropriate for useful things or not and if we have found that our expenditure has not been for things that are useful for us. Of course we have to be able to learn it and we can avoid it so we don't spend money on things we don't need.

Yes, of course we need something that will make us feel better and indeed there are some people who think that smoking will make their minds fresher, but this can also damage our health if we smoke in large quantities and this also makes us have to spending more money to buy cigarettes and it would be better if we could reduce it so we can set aside some of the money we have so we can save and also invest.

You may not think of it before but you will now, once someone talks about it to you. We still can enjoy life even if we are investing because no one is forced to invest all what they have. Even if we say one will do, there is a chance that they will earn a huge profit in the future and they can enjoy their life much better. We must be glad when someone approaches us for this. It only means that those people are concerned with us.

The addiction example you shared there is scary. If we prioritize our enjoyment over more important things, then there is a high chance that we will end up like that. They won't become an addict if they are not ready or willing to learn anything. It also means that they did not lack in knowledge but they think other things are boring and takes time to achieve.

You are right here. These students will only live in regrets if they will keep on thinking how stupid they are wasting their money on a vice when they can save it and invest in bitcoin. But hopefully they will take it as a lesson not to prolong their vice anymore, otherwise their finances will only suffer as their health in the future. Although bitcoin can wait, but I don’t think the same opportunities will still be available in the future.

Family background and exposure play an important role in shaping one's knowledge and interests. If a family is engaged in online activities and has a good understanding of crypto, their children will likely also be aware of it and show interest in the field, and if that isn't the case, you will see the opposite.

Children often learn by observing and imitating the behaviours and interests of their family members, so if a student comes from a family with a business background, they may be more likely to develop entrepreneurial skills and interests. Family support and exposure can provide a strong foundation for learning and exploration and may influence one's career choices and interests in the long run.

The message you just passed on is encouraging. I guess I don't really have much of a problem with it aside the fact that doing something else shouldn't cause them to stop whatever makes them Happy. Smoking doesn't take a one-time decision to quit; most of them would love to HODL even more than 500 bucks in a year but, it somewhat becomes a life threatening process - especially if they have to quit smoking.

Mind you, I'm not supportive of the fact that they're smokers - I don't even give a heck! I'm just tryna "put myself in their shoes "
On the other hand, it's slowly becoming a trend that kids kinda find it hard to get pass..

I got your point. Students should focus more on their studies and not the other way around, but at least they should learn to be frugal so they can save a little out from their spare money from their allowance, and not to tolerate their vice as they will be only the one who’ll suffer in the end.

Investing is still impossible for students, but if there are opportunities to make them exposed to bitcoin investment so they can set their own target investing in bitcoin in the future, that would be great. There’s no wrong with early planning and preparation, but it should also paired even with little action.

Exactly. Even if these kids have no means to invest at a young age, but they should be more responsible on where to put their money and smoking is certainly the worst option for that. Smoking will only put one’s health at a high risk of damaging it, instead of taking care of it in preparation for their future goals and activities. No regrets are coming at the start, it’s always in the end, so if these kids will be enlightened from their bad habits, they won’t be regretting a lot at the end of the day.

Invest your money instead of spending it on cigarette is kind of cliche.

I get it smoking is bad for your health but you can't compare every spending of yours with ifs and buts because there are still a lot people who don't smoke but still poor and there are people who smoke 24/7 and stashed with cash pretty much for their 10x of their entire life time. So savings is just the first step but you need to think bigger if you really want to achieve better.

Indeed, it would be great if you can do it but for those who are smokers I think it will not work because after all, sometimes smoking is a situation where we cannot get rid of this habit especially if we already feel addicted.
This happened and indeed felt for myself, not that I don't think that the proposal you are doing is good, it's just that in this case I still can't leave cigarettes so I still continue to do it and still continue to be in bitcoin too in the end.

Even though in the end smoking is also not very good for health and I am well aware of that but it is difficult to stop this when addicted so the choice not to smoke and buy bitcoin even though I think it will be a little difficult to follow so my choice now is that I still smoke but on the other hand I am also in bitcoin. As long as I can do that then I will :D

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

Well investing into bitcoin does not need actually a huge amount. You can start investing even at a small amount of funds and just do DCA at a consistent basis until you come to grow your investment after years of hodling. So I have seen no reason why these students are not even capable of investing into bitcoin, as long as they have basic knowledge on bitcoin, I still think that could be fine.

I am sure that those years of indulging in such acts, if you’d been told about bitcoin and said to invest in it, you wouldn’t have done that because you don’t trust it and no much people in your place most have heard of it or really made a fortune from it. If you’re guided from onset, you won’t fall victims of such circumstances and gradually killing your health by yourself. Those that are still indulging in it just needs proper orientation, although it’s very hard once you’re an addict to anything for you to leave it forever. Bitcoin is another good investment and path to a bigger success in life but not so many people will agree or be on that train.


Education is important to them and they should focus more on it and not waste their life by themselves when they’re still young and needs that brain to learn and assimilate things into them. Without proper education, one cannot be able to understand the concept of bitcoin and can easily fall scam or lose their money in the process of being ignorant of what they’re trying to embrace to make a good return on investment. They should to school and shouldn’t spend waste fully in that course and better still get a course to learn about cryptocurrency during that period in order to become more acquainted to it after school.

That's a very good advice from op, however this topic reminds me about my friend who's addicted into smoking and the worst part of it is that he smokes different type of cigarettes so there was a day i met him when he was smoking, then i ask him that is there any profit in smoking? Though he was bold enough to tell me that actually there's no profit in smoking. rather each and everytime he smokes that there's this inspiration that he normal get, so i was like advising him to quite from smoking cigarettes that smoking is not good for his health, first thing he did was to thank me for my advice that  indeed I'm a very good friend but quitting from smoking is very difficult for him, that i Should give him two months to think about it, so i did so at this point i was hoping that he's going to change within this two months. so after some weeks i decide to check up on him, so when i went to his house only for me to discover that he's still getting more addicted to smoking, so ever since then i have not been calling him nor check up on him unlike before.

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

But it's true that it is bad and they might not experience the health concerns of it as soon as possible but once they grow older, they'll feel it.

They don't think that the money that they use to buy for smokes are coming from their parents hard work. Even with that, with the spare money that they have still being allotted to things that they do like with vices.

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

It’s good that you were not influenced as many people would have been especially during high school days as students. I don’t think smoking directly correlates to havin a bad life but it can definitely affect your life in more ways than you might think. Physically, mentally and financially, you can be affected by smoking or any other addictions.
All of us were young once. We all know the feeling of wanting to have fun and not caring about anything but I hope kids nowadays stop for a moment and start thinking that there’s more that lies for their future and everything they do now will have consequences.

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

Young people these days are very different if I compare them to the 90's. Today's young people feel too entitled because of the social media we have today. Are they the type who thinks they are always right and there is nothing wrong with what most of them say?

Also, for the majority of young people today, their priority is to enjoy being teenagers; they don't have the future savings that are mentioned in their minds, and they don't know about these things yet. Because all they think about is the money their parents will give them that they didn't work hard for.

Individuals who smoke cigarettes may struggle to quit and consider investing in bitcoin. Those who smoke may lack family support, leading them to pursue other interests. If you know someone who smokes or consumes alcohol, you may feel hesitant to approach them. expect is your love once that you can talk to and he will be very difficult before you convince him because everyday they most take it and if they didn't take it they won't enjoy there life because is like there daily work.

Op all these people you are thinking they are wasting their money on fire, you can't convince them to invest in bitcoin because what I see with them they can't have the patience to invest for the long term and be profitable. let me give you one example to understand how people that are wasting their money that didn't bring value to their life, now that you are investing in bitcoin and you are enjoying it, and someone just told you that you should stop investing in bitcoin, definitely you can't stop it because you are making something from it and that is how people who are consuming cigarettes think about when you said they should stop, he will be difficult for them to list to your advice and invest. And that the users they prefer to do something that generates daily income so that they can spend it.

I also do not support encouraging students to invest in bitcoin because it is not a mandate or something they should care about. What they need to focus on is studying hard and trying to achieve the best results because that is their future. Regarding whether they have living needs or bad habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol, it is best for them to limit or stay away, and use that money for things related to their studies, not for investing.

But honestly, I don't see any connection between investing in bitcoin and smoking. Just like some of us will like to go drinking with friends on the weekend after hard working days, some will choose to picnic with family, watch movies...should we give it all up and save to invest in bitcoin?

I don't know, I just don't smoke at all. I tried few sips of it but I don't like that. Maybe it's on the genes or something.

They won't stop.

They're going to look at the examples which are the old ones and that's us, I'm not that old at all but I mean the mature folks.

They're just copying what they're seeing from the others but I hope that they'd see the better part and that's about investing in BTC.

My father was originally a smoker and had smoked for more than 40 years, but after a general health check, the doctor said his lungs were melasma. After returning home, he quit smoking immediately without anyone's advice or help. Even now, when sitting near a smoker, he still feels very smelly and uncomfortable. Obviously, people can't quit smoking because they don't have enough convincing reasons or don't really want to quit, but nothing is too difficult as you say. My father and my uncle are living proof that I have witnessed it. Smoking addiction is not as terrible as drug addiction, so don't say that quitting is too difficult.

In my country, cigarettes are very cheap, only costing 0.50 USD a pack, is using that money enough to invest in bitcoin? Would someone invest $0.50 in bitcoin every day?  ;D ;D

Look it seems interesting but we can't completely deny the impact of schooling on the life of our children's. I have seen child's completely different from the ones who went to schools. Schooling creates a way of expressing into students. They learn by interacting with different individuals sitting at the same area with different minds.

Yes you can debate on how to give your children's schooling. You can give them by yourselves it's not a deal but you can simply leave them without any schooling. Home schooling can be introduced and for interaction arrangements can be made.

Changes are inevitable and so the trend with these teens these days as well. Social media may create a huge impact in the lives of these young minds but I believe it’s not all about negativity since there are also some advantages that these teens have benefited from being exposed to social media.

However, when it comes to these young people’s mindset and perspective, yes they may be more of a fun and happy go lucky, but somehow it also depends on their parents upbringing to them. Some are even trained to save and invest at a young age, most especially for those career and goal oriented individuals, but for those who just want to enjoy their present lifestyle while relying everything to their parents, I believe in due time they will mature and will have a change of mindset and perspectives especially if they end up building a family of their own at a young age.

Smoking? Thats so last century! Bitcoin is the name of the one-and-zero-based future that is being written while you're coughing up your hard-earned money on smokes. You see, money isnt just about buying the next pack of smokes. Its about building a life, a future, a legacy. And your pass to financial independence is Bitcoin, my buddies. Like planting an growing tree that provides shade and fruit for years.

Certainly some would warn you its a gamble. But let me ask you this: is gambling on your health with cigarettes any less risky? I can tell you that the chances are far better with Bitcoin; I've seen the figures. Thus give up smoking, welcome the digital revolution, and begin making investments for your future. Its about controlling your fate and winning the game of life, not only about the money. And who doesnt want to be a winner, right?

School and college students are always high on energy and always excited to try out new things and hence they find smoking cool.
It's for such people to quit smoking and start investing that money but yeah the others who haven't started smoking yet can still invest their money in bitcoin.
I mean to say is, although this is a good idea that people should start investing what they can since it will accumulate to a huge amount later but sometimes thing are not that easy afterall.

There's something I want to tell you so that other people will learn from it bitcoin is not the best option to make money bitcoin is not the best place that will make you Rich, note that Bitcoin investment is like other investment and there is every probability, that you may invest in Bitcoin and you may not make a profit from the investment so that is what people don't know, investing in Bitcoin does not give you the pure assurance that you have made it in life or you have escaped poverty so I don't know why so many persons think that you investing in Bitcoin automatically you are rich, not knowing the risk involve

Some people have the habit of smoking, and it is allowed in some workplaces and offices because of the habits, you can never stop some people from smoking, and you just have to leave them with that habit despite how dangerous it is to their health and how it is costing them some money they are suppose to save for future use.

You have a good suggestion because to be wasting a lot of money for smoking is useless, they can divert the money into Bitcoin investment using DCA method and maintain their good health, if the students can understand that and maintain good health by avoiding smoking cigarettes, it will be better for their health.

Any official job would not stop anyone from smoking but they do not accept such an act during work hours. People do have reasons why they smoke and it has become part of their minority budget but that does not mean they are being wasteful with their resources. It is only dangerous when the person is addicted and spends a whole lot of his earning on smoking than other important matters. As per what I know, smoking doesn't stop anyone from investing, one can be smoking and yet have one of the biggest investment portfolio, it all depends on how the person resolves his financial budget.

Only scared of the unhealthy benefits of smoking or for one getting addicted then it becomes a financial crisis as it will result to mismanagement of funds.

Your advice is very bad and not encouraging my friend. You don't like education perhaps else I don't see the reason why someone will want people ditch education and then invest into Bitcoin, not proper in my opinion. What if there is not investment like Bitcoin, will you say the same thing? How can you even advice people to buy Bitcoin with education money when it's not like it's guaranteed they are going to make it here. There is opportunity everwhere, if you don't make it here you might make it from another place.

What I expected you to say is this, we all know that education is not free in this generation but if you have the means, go for it and get the certificate, the end is worth it and you will enjoy everything later when you have work and then when the money comes later, you can invest in Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin isn't a stable thing that will grow forever, it goes up and do correction, the last time it went down to as low as $15k because of somethings that happened to the market, there is nothing guaranteed that it wouldn't go back there and it might even go down and not necessarily to that level, they can buy when it goes there and invest with the money they have to afford.

Smoking cigarettes is not a crime in the part of my country I don't know about yours and I don't see how not to be smoking cigarettes will contribute to any one that doesn't know the potentials of investing in Bitcoin as the best world class digital asset , Bitcoin has already gained a wide spread adoption where investing in it should only be a personal conviction. However, it is expected that your investment money should come from your disposable income after taken of whatever one may consider to be his basic needs where curtailing a lifestyle in terms of your living expenses could only increase your disposable income as well as your investment amount, I don't think smoking cigarettes will stop any one that want to accumulate Bitcoin especially through the DCA strategy. Smoking is a choice and the fact I smoke and you don't doesn't make you better than me.

People who are addicted to cigarettes get comfort when they smoke, they don't care if they burn money, but for those who don't smoke, they think that smokers are just wasting money because they don't know the pleasure of smoking, so in situations like this, don't blame each other, it's true that smoking is not a good thing, but don't immediately blame the person because in reality smokers also have the desire that one day they will stop smoking.

First of all, I will start by saying that we all have eyes that we used in looking, but we all sees differently, it's actually true that it's a total waste of money to you because that money should have been invested into Bitcoin at an early age, because you are already enlightened and informed, even most of them that are enlightened already sees smoking as a hubby or a thing they derived pleasure in doing, so they don't sees it as a waste the way you and I sees it, so it all boils down to what you want and how we sees things.

Ok, let's look at it from this angle now, their are some sets of people that sees those amounts of money you mentioned as nothing, so they will decide to waste it on smoking, and since smoking is a thing that gives them joy, they viewed it as a money well spent, so it all boils down to what we as individual prioritize, to them, it's a money well spent, to us that are very much serious about our financial state, it's a total waste.

They are spending their money on buying something that is giving them temporary pleasure aka a Dopamine rush which is making them addicted to that same substance and also increasing the risk of many diseases to come in their future life.

What else you need to rebut your own claim? It is nothing "good" but all bad and the worse thing is that the companies that make these products never try to move their business to something else but to gimmicks that appear as safe, like e-cig which is even worse.

Protecting the next generations from these products is what every parent must go through. It is much better and easier to buy bitcoin with that or invest that money in any other place.

That is why you see insecurity in many countries of the world today, because after spending the money on smoking or night club, it can make such people to think negative things that will lead them to disobey the law of the land.

Even though you introduce BTC business to them, they will begin to see you like a scammer who is trying to scam their money, because they are too lazy to carry out their research to know the importance of BTC business and what it can do to those that will invest their money on it

I guess there are some government, who don't allow teenagers to get involve in smoking,  clubbing and gambling because they know that it will make them to commit what will hot the community, but some of them will feel bad about government not allow them to enjoy such habit at teenagers age.

Good parenting and proper upbringing will resolve this issue but the surrounding matters a lot and parent smay not be able to control that hence there needs to be strict law and vigilance that these stuffs should reach or sold to students or teenagers. As far as Bitcoin investment is concerned we should keep them away from it atleast till they complete their schooling else they will lose interest on studies.

The problem we are having this days is that everyone is claiming to be supporting bitcoin even in the wrong way. Investing money meant for education into bitcoin is not supporting bitcoin, it's absolutely a wrong decision that someone might probably regret eventually. Investing in bitcoin has no limited time and one can start it whenever there's money for it but education has limit for one to acquire it. Although, it literally has no limit but there are certain stage one will reach and acquiring education will become very difficult.

It's not in any way ideal to forfeit education for bitcoin that it opportunity is recycling and one can venture into it at any time unlike education that's mostly easy to acquire at young age. Moreover, without education even your investment can not be properly managed compared to when you are well educated. Infact, investing in bitcoin is not something that an illiterate individual can do successfully, it requires some certain education. The number one step to one's failure in bitcoin investment is to start the investment with wrong money.

Honestly, putting your cash into Bitcoin might be the move. Instead of watching your money go up in smoke with some sketchy altcoins, Bitcoin's got a solid track record and mainstream hype. Sure, it has its ups and downs, but it's still the OG of crypto. Think of it as playing it smart in the wild world of digital coins.

sometimes even with parents' proper guidance, they still can't control what happens when their kid goes out of their homes

the best they can hope for is that they raised their kids to be good enough to make their own decisions that would benefit them
education is and should be the priority but if they can manage to learn about both then why not? i see no problem about kids being well aware of btc

Investment is a choice, it doesn't really matter how convincing our words are to people about investment, what matters is individual interest which surpass every other thing, not everyone will think towards investment may be because of lacking of understanding and interest.
It not easy for a student to have the mindset of investing in Bitcoin for many reasons, lets not forget that pair group has much influence on student even when the money is available to invest such student may not deem it necessary to invest based on misinformation from some folks, personally I don't see anything wrong if a student doesn't want to invest in Bitcoin because i believe that there are stages of things in life, individuals should be allowed to take some certain stands in life, bitcoin is for people that are interested and prepared to take action towards investnig in Bitcoin, I think there is know much big deal about that.
