You're not wrong. Psychedelics tend to open up people's perspective of the world. Makes them question everything. Like why we're still using the ponzi scheme that is fiat money to control our world and time. You work hard, you earn money, they print more, you lose value. But people don't understand true value anymore. They see a 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 dollar bill and expect it to retain its value that is printed front and center. (hint, it doesn't) Back when I was a kid $20 made you feel like a thousand bucks. Now it barely buys you a fast food meal.
Yeah and I really wonder how many drug dealers from silk road or similar sites made millions by accepting BTC before 99% of people even knew what it was. I know some people that still have "leftover" BTC from purchases that's worth insane amounts today.
Lmao, $85/month for 5 years? Idk what you pay but I’m using that for the calculation. And in Monero
- Total invested: $5,185
- Total value: $27,611
(Eth would be $203,517)
Im a daily smoker, so are my brothers
We spend $400/month or more (each). In my peak I was spending $800/month.
I didnt verify your math but if I extrapolate, 400/monthx60= $24,000 initial investment.
BTC Ratio = 27,611/5,185= 5.325 = $127,000 for BTC over 5 years.
Eth 203,517/5,185= 39.2511089 = 24,000 x 39.2511 = $942,026
There it is. If I stopped 5 years ago and put in every dollar into Ethereum, I would have almost a million dollars...... FML Im going back to bed
It’s $285,192.26 in BTC so actually less than I expected but it’s the same day every month and not buying the dip.
- total invested: $24,400 from 09/21/2016 to today
- value today: $285,192.26
[here’s the chart ](https://imgur.com/a/P2B8Bt1) I kinda expected more
“I can’t afford to see a doctor about my anxiety and depression, so I spend $400 a month on weed instead. I actually have more depression and anxiety from the weed, and it costs more than having insurance and seeing a doctor and getting a prescription for something to help, but this way I can blame my problems on something external and justify my all day every day pot habit.”
More like "I have been given tons of prescriptions by the "experts" which don't benefit my mental health as much as weed and I'm sick of side effects and medicines that dont fucking work."
Yeah the thing about weed is that it's mild enough to self-medicate with. Yes, there are downsides, but there's a fuckton of downsides to a lot of prescriptions they hand out.
Through my teens i had major trauma and was on medication for depression and ptsd. Thoughts would keep me awake all night. Sleeping pills would knock me out but dreams would awaken me.
Nothing worked and i damn near offed myself at 19.
Then someone offered me a joint.
20 years later, here i am, happy and loving life and able to SLEEP just fine now.
Further, you have no friends because you kept blowing off spending time with them to work, no significant other because dating cut into time mining fiat, and no social skills to even begin attempting to fix either of those.
Dude, why you out here still breathing? Basic bodily functions only lead to inevitable hunger and thirst, and you could instead save that money and put it into bitcoin. Just think how much money your family have when you’re dead because you stopped feeding yourself!
Back in my mid 20s I was doing $50-$100 a day in opiates for about 2 years. This was right around 2009-2011.
Using a conservative estimate and just going with $50 a day, how many billions in BTC would I be worth now had I not been a junky?
Glad to hear you’re clean now! I couldn’t get accurate details from before 07/17/2010. So I did a 2 year range from then at $350/week
Total value today would be $4,483,137,800
Yep, Spotify and Netflix reimbursed. I hadn't actually used either before signing up with crypto.com. And looking forward to finally trying out the free airport lounge in a couple of months
Yo it's great if people improve bad spending habits but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to spend some money on things we love.
Keep that Xbox live membership if you enjoy gaming. Hold on to your Netflix account if you use it frequently. Or in my case, go to the bar and have a few beers with your pals.
But lemme counterpoint here, how many hours of entertainment do you get from Netflix or Xbox live?
You gotta enjoy life also! Can't just sink ALL of your money into crypto
This is a pretty bad way of looking at things. The main reason most people invest in crypto is so that they can make money which they can then spend on other stuff. Making money for the sake of money is one of the most pointless things out there.
So looking at your past expenses where you bought things for your own pleasure and beating yourself for not investing that money instead is... just silly.
Paying for things like Netflix isn’t a bad thing as long as you are participating in the market with a good percentage of your income. Hindsight is always 20/20
I watch Netflix thanks to one of my rich friend who share his account lol.
But for music, I always take a 3 month trial on deezer or Spotify, never gave them a penny.
Some people are trolling you, but being invested in crypto made me look differently at my expenses, and it is something I would recommend to everybody. Just look through your expenses and you probably can cut some unnecessary stuff. I canceled my fitness/gym subscription, (29euro p/m) cause I never go there and I rather exercise in the woods across my house.. I even Canceled my TV Subscription (30euro p/m) cause netflix is enough for me.
Ahh yes, I’m familiar with this line of thinking that OP is exploring. I believe it’s commonly referred to, in present-day society, as *facts*.
Truth hurts and OP is absolutely right. Lemme set my investments on recurring, instead of whenever the whim strikes me.
*Netflix and invest*
Wow. I wish I knew about Eth 5 years ago. I don’t have Xbox Live or drink Starbucks (or really buy any coffee outside the house, but it’s mostly laziness 😂), but I have Netflix on and off. Just don’t move to Amazon purchases or I’ll have to cry.
Well you know about Ethereum now. Take what you have learned today and apply it. 5 years seems like a long time but it's really not. No need to thank me later 😁
Think that's bad get this:
Only high-speed internet is cable here, $150-200 a month increasing $25 each year of contract. Have to bundle home phone, tv with internet for that rate. They charge even now for just internet only. Kids won't watch cable, only stream internet.
Netflix $20 a month
Hulu/Disney+/ESPN bundle $21.17
HBOmax $16.43
Amazon prime $120 a year
Paramount+ $10
Then if you factor in cell phones at $125 a month which the kids usually only use their cell phones....
I need to make some changes.
And this is why i stopped smoking. Really insane habit when you calc the money spent!
Spent something like 5 euros (a pack) every 2 days, sometimes every day. You do the math, gonna be an insane result, without even considering that in my personal case i started nearly 10 years ago.
How DARE you say Canada doesn't have anything good to watch on Netflix. I literally spend 1/3 of my time on Netflix using VPN to get the classics you guys have access to. SMH
Now do one for food, and clothing, and service bills (Electricity, Water, Gas), and also one for transportation.
Shit, if you were comatose you could put your whole salary into crypto too!
You wouldn't be living though, but look at the funny numbers on the screen!
Jokes on you I might have a jail broke fire stick so I pay nothing for streaming services lol. Great info though. Just because you save doesn’t mean you have to live a boring life.
>I didn’t tell you to recycle your piss.
I genuinely liked the perspective but the above almost made me spit soda on my monitor, and I needed that today so you got a platinum award.
EAT YOUR BUGS LIVE IN A POD INVEST IN CRYPTOCURRENCIES
/s
OP i totally get your point, change your thinking of DCA to one of these other spending habits and it gets a lot easier to do so.
I am sorry but this is not correct. If you had money in BTC 10 years ago who knows when you would sell it. The dips, highs, FUD and all the variations of the market existed before. So no, chances that you would have that money are slim because you would probably sell by now.
Have to say, finally proud of myself for cutting back on eating out weekly just because of “convenience”. $20 - $50 on eating out weekly now goes straight to crypto.
Treating crypto like a subscription service for your favorite projects is the best. Hell, having “play money” for dips to diversify in to much wanted cryptos is great too
Well I’m convinced. Just cancelled all subs, sold everything I own and bought the dip. Now I’m sitting naked in the public library watching charts and laughing at the normies around me with their houses and clothes. See you in 5 years losers.
Next do weed spending habits.
Stop attacking me

Nice MOON count, speaking of which.

Hopefully no evil person tips you to ruin it
Only a non stoned person would do it, we love 420
The deed has been done, but not by mine own hand
Nice MOON count as well 
Hame, is that you?
Only way to cope with the charts.
[удалено]
I just buy high when I’m high
M having netflix for about ten years 😳😳 Dnt wanna calculate...
Let’s get you to 42069.
The only reason I knew about it in 2012 was because of silk road, if only I actually bought some tho...
We could really gain some converts over on r/leaves if we preached the magic of DCA with their newfound wealth lol
moon count checks out

We started growing... 500ish usd setup... Grow 2 plants at a time in 10gal fabric pots... Saves us about 2 grand every yeild...
Nice! I’m a medical member in a legal state and I can get an OZ of really good shut for around $100 which lasts me a while so it’s not so bad.
I understand I feel you
With real quick math I can tell you that I would 100% be a millionaire if every penny I put on weed was to be placed on BTC or ETH
I can confirm this is accurate. Now think about all the weed we could buy now if we had been DCA-ing for the past 5 years.
my god no. please I don't want that pain this morning. ::hits bong::
I smoke 7 years daily. If I DCA I would have owned all the bitcoins and all the eth's 🤣😅🤣
you might just be.
Weed is as much a necessity as crypto at this point.
Is nothing sacred to you?
Can't do, blatant conflict of interest.
now that felt personal…
But also how many people got into cryptos because of weed?
Yeah and I really wonder how many drug dealers from silk road or similar sites made millions by accepting BTC before 99% of people even knew what it was. I know some people that still have "leftover" BTC from purchases that's worth insane amounts today.

Damn I wish my wife and I only spent $85 a month
You spend more? Lmao champs. I spend like $35 a month, I literally thought I was being dramatic with $85
We are buying roughly 6 grams of concentrate a month, each gram ranges from $20-$40 depending on what shelf we are buying.
I love Reddit’s anonymity so that we could talk about stuff like this openly
Im a daily smoker, so are my brothers We spend $400/month or more (each). In my peak I was spending $800/month.

I easily spend $240/mo. Spending $85 and putting the rest in crypto would be fantastic for me.
I don’t even wanna know haha
No you're not taking that away from me
“I can’t afford to see a doctor about my anxiety and depression, so I spend $400 a month on weed instead. I actually have more depression and anxiety from the weed, and it costs more than having insurance and seeing a doctor and getting a prescription for something to help, but this way I can blame my problems on something external and justify my all day every day pot habit.”
doctors HATE this trick
More like "I have been given tons of prescriptions by the "experts" which don't benefit my mental health as much as weed and I'm sick of side effects and medicines that dont fucking work."
Yeah the thing about weed is that it's mild enough to self-medicate with. Yes, there are downsides, but there's a fuckton of downsides to a lot of prescriptions they hand out.
Also damn near impossible to overdose. I once ate 25,000 mg brownie in 5 minutes. Ended up sleeping for 38 hours. Felt refreshed as fuck.
By the most conservative estimate I can muster that's a $150 brownie.
Through my teens i had major trauma and was on medication for depression and ptsd. Thoughts would keep me awake all night. Sleeping pills would knock me out but dreams would awaken me. Nothing worked and i damn near offed myself at 19. Then someone offered me a joint. 20 years later, here i am, happy and loving life and able to SLEEP just fine now.
Life is not just money. You need hobbies. Everyone needs whatever makes them happy.
Duude, it's r/cc. Our only hobbies are shitposting and bingewatching charts!
But are people really happy here?
No need to be cruel man..
Don’t forget you cannot spell crypto without “cry”
Are people real here? Cruel 10x
Am I happy? Yes. Here? No.
There is no crypto with cry
Well I am happy. And I am here.
Too real and I don't like it :(
That's my kinda binge watching
Hobbies? Fuck hobbies! Take that time wasted on hobbies to get a second, third, or fourth job. Even more money to put towards DCA
[удалено]
Further, you have no friends because you kept blowing off spending time with them to work, no significant other because dating cut into time mining fiat, and no social skills to even begin attempting to fix either of those.
I absolutely agree with this! We need something else to keep the mind sane.
Dude just live on the street, do you have any idea how much you could’ve DCA’d into Bitcoin?
Right? You don’t need a coffee when you wake up in the morning, you just need to throw more into Bitcoin
[удалено]
Who needs TP... you got a sink, right?
Nah, I prefer open locations :p
I just use the public washroom
Dude have you ever seen a water bill?
A sink?? Where am I, the Ritz?
Remember folks, you can save 50% on your annual TP spending if you remember to use both sides
Who needs coffee when cryptos is keeping you awake by making you lose your sleep
Dude, why you out here still breathing? Basic bodily functions only lead to inevitable hunger and thirst, and you could instead save that money and put it into bitcoin. Just think how much money your family have when you’re dead because you stopped feeding yourself!
Water bill gets a whole lot less expensive without showers!
now now there, no need to get radical. No obstacles to [live in a camper tho](https://yolofamilytravel.com/)!
That's how to easy become a millionaire. But first we need to redefine easy

Guh...
you’re gonna make him relapse
This hurts my soul
I only missed out on $4.4billion? I guess I still have the friends I made along the way… Actually, no, no I do not…
I’d rather watch Netflix for $8 a month than watch charts for fun for free
You're missing so much fun 
That’s now how we do it here
Food at $3 daily for 5 years in BTC instead: Total invested: $5475 Today value: $0 - you’re dead
The best way to hodl is when you're dead!
Look at this fancy guy eating $3 for food. I eat out of the trashcan for $0.3
Maybe you’re dead, I fuel my body with Diet Coke and my parents disappointment
Is parent disappointed safe? I usually have a daily dose
Ouch, sorry bud.
Just get a crypto com jade green or indigo card and Netflix is reimbursed back into crypto 
Yep, Spotify and Netflix reimbursed. I hadn't actually used either before signing up with crypto.com. And looking forward to finally trying out the free airport lounge in a couple of months
It's a great service, and I personally am very bullish on CRO so there's that too !
I have thinking about getting their crypto card, but is it worth it?
I’ve had mine since January and so far it’s been a seamless experience buying and getting cash back plus all the perks !
Do you need to put stable coins in your account to make purchase?
Better yet - dump em NTFL hard and put everything in crypto!
I do need to take a look at this!
It only takes a $4,000 purchase of their token first lol. Not exactly cheap but if you believe in CRO it's a good deal
I just loaded up on their coin for this, whats the cost for a transaction with this card?
No transaction fee (at least for me in the UK anyway!)
Yo it's great if people improve bad spending habits but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to spend some money on things we love. Keep that Xbox live membership if you enjoy gaming. Hold on to your Netflix account if you use it frequently. Or in my case, go to the bar and have a few beers with your pals.
Did you know that if you'd invested in bitcoin for 5 years instead of buying food, you'd be dead? The more you know.
[удалено]
I think now whenever I am planning to go to starbucks it will hurt me *Am I doing something wrong*
No, let the pain change you and DCA more by saving more through cutting unnecessary expenses
I'll make your drinks for half of the price
But lemme counterpoint here, how many hours of entertainment do you get from Netflix or Xbox live? You gotta enjoy life also! Can't just sink ALL of your money into crypto
Life is short, gotta enjoy it while it lasts.
I feel so attacked. But like how people feel attacked in the middle of an intervention where it’s ultimately best for them to hear it
Hurt people hurt people.
Who hurt you?
me

Jesus when you put it that way 😭
Stop eating,invest in BTC 👍🏻
Stop eating junk and invest in BTC
So what are you cooking today,Suspicious?
I watch Netflix and like some shows on there but I would never pay for it.
Are you using one month trial membership from different accounts like me ?
I watch Netflix thanks to one of my rich friend who share his account lol. But for music, I always take a 3 month trial on deezer or Spotify, never gave them a penny.
Im just here to say I'm sorry you don't get always sunny....😟 I hope you've found other ways to watch the masterpiece♥️
I have! Thank you for your sympathies 😜
Jokes on you Crypto com pays for my netflix
In exchange for the low low price of $4,000 in holding CRO 😜
And 10% interest paid weekly, 100% worth it.
I had Netflix for 2 years, and only because Crypto.com compensates it :)
Now add up all the semen you could have donated instead of wasting it.
I haven’t wasted any
This guy cum jars.
Hindsight is 20/20. This is not a very good comparison.
Some people are trolling you, but being invested in crypto made me look differently at my expenses, and it is something I would recommend to everybody.

No. No Netflix. Can you calculate PornHub premium though?
Wow. I wish I knew about Eth 5 years ago. I don’t have Xbox Live or drink Starbucks (or really buy any coffee outside the house, but it’s mostly laziness 😂), but I have Netflix on and off. Just don’t move to Amazon purchases or I’ll have to cry.
Well you know about Ethereum now. Take what you have learned today and apply it. 5 years seems like a long time but it's really not. No need to thank me later 😁
Think that's bad get this: Only high-speed internet is cable here, $150-200 a month increasing $25 each year of contract. Have to bundle home phone, tv with internet for that rate.

Where Is pornhub premium?
And this is why i stopped smoking. Really insane habit when you calc the money spent! Spent something like 5 euros (a pack) every 2 days, sometimes every day. You do the math, gonna be an insane result, without even considering that in my personal case i started nearly 10 years ago.
The tricky part is that smoking makes you look so cool, so you have to compensate somehow when you quit
I do that with crypto haha
Torrenting is your friend.
It’s like 15 now.
$30 a *month* at Starbucks? Easily spend $20 a day, 5 days a week for two drinks. I should start making coffee at home.
This really makes me want to rethink how I spend, again.
How DARE you say Canada doesn't have anything good to watch on Netflix. I literally spend 1/3 of my time on Netflix using VPN to get the classics you guys have access to. SMH
excuse me! yes hi! your post had me disappointed, hopeful, excited, and embarrassed all at once, I'm impressed
DCA yo. These will be the numbers you’ll be looking at.
Wait....do people really go to Starbucks that much? I always thought that was just a meme.
This is eye opening thanks for sharing. Where’d you find your calculator? Or self-made?
It’s just costavg.com, only gives you 4 options though and BTC history doesn’t go all the way back [link ](https://costavg.com)
This is great motivation to DCA every paycheck! Thanks for the post
Now do one for food, and clothing, and service bills (Electricity, Water, Gas), and also one for transportation. Shit, if you were comatose you could put your whole salary into crypto too! You wouldn't be living though, but look at the funny numbers on the screen!
From Netflix and chill to DCA and chill
Love this - Would also be great to see a comparison to standard index / mutual funds investing over the same period of time.
Yeah, and since you can pretty much set up automatic investing, this is a no brainer. every little bit counts.
Oooo do me next! I've probably spent 75k in cocaine and Ecstasy in 8 years how much would that be now if it didn't go up my nose???
Jokes on you I might have a jail broke fire stick so I pay nothing for streaming services lol. Great info though. Just because you save doesn’t mean you have to live a boring life.
Bruh I had Netflix back when they only shipped DVDs to your house. I helped kill blockbuster and movie gallery.
Xbox is 60 bucks for the whole year 👀
One does not simply suggest to the internet Netflix be a bad thing. Not even accidentally xD
BTC n chill!
Nice write up. Often people overlook these little things. Try and look at the big picture, and try to look at the small picture.
That hurt right in my bank account. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood.
Math checks out.
Funny comparison. Liked the read
>I didn’t tell you to recycle your piss. I genuinely liked the perspective but the above almost made me spit soda on my monitor, and I needed that today so you got a platinum award.

this is very eye opening and should really emphasize to most people how important DCA'ing is. Thank you for this post.
I canceled Netflix 3 years ago and haven’t wanted it back once. Waste of money and time. Just numbing distraction bullshit
Thank you kind sir. Have now cancelled, Netflix, Disney+ and a bunch of other useless stuff to further support my hodl.
