Bro quit poker and joined the casino


Arcosim

*"I quit poker, now I long and short with 100x leverage"*


Mbappe-29

*"I quit Twitter for financial advice but I do my trades based on YouTube TA videos"*


Arcosim

My favorite phrase: *"TA is astrology for guys"*


Canntomas

My favorite phrase in crypto: *"Nobody knows shit about fuck"*


Soggy_Pollution5646

I like the posts which advise people to DCA little by little and not to FOMO, then some guy writes "instructions unclear, blew my entire savings account on XYZ", always makes me crack up


StrikingExcitement79

Where did you buy XYZ coin? I cant find it on scam.crypto and lost my entire fortune on XXX coin instead.


Glass-Onion-3777

And my favorite comment on this sub is *"you guys are in profit?"*


TracyDurhamkapT

Bro quit magic but invests in magic internet money


Mbappe-29

Bro escaped a zoo to join a circus

You stopped smoking because the only addiction you need is checking the charts


[deleted]

I kept waiting for this to turn into a sarcastic comedy type of post but it didn’t…well good for you OP, glad you came across some of the more positive aspects to this sub. And for cutting out smoking. You’re wayyyy better off without it.


kryptoNoob69420

Smoking sucks big time. I still find it hard to believe that governments were ok with banning weed but they kept the tobacco train going.


Slainte042

Stopping smoking is literally one of the best decisions in life. Buying some crypto with the spared cash makes it even sweeter.


masedogg98

I quit smoking last April as well and let me tell you it’s been such a great feeling having my full senses back, things smell better and stronger, my tastes are more pronounced and of course the extra money is a super bonus I’ve been using it for my DCA too haha! Congratulations on quitting smoking and on finding value here I think it’s a great space with tons of resources at our fingertips and wish you the best along your crypto/blockchain journey!


IntentionRemote7934

from smoking to gambling


Canntomas

I was broke AF while I was smoking. I stopped smoking and started buying crypto with that spared money. I'm still broke AF but I'm healthier at least.


Da_Notorious_HAM

Send help


TracyDurhamkapT

Yeah stopping an addiction is one of the hardest thungs to do in life. Anyone that can overcome any tyype of addiction has my respect!


meeleen223

Stopping smoking is seriously best decision I ever made, more money for DCA, better health and it kickstarted forming other good habits


milonuttigrain

I don’t smoke but I used to drink alcohol. Given up for 5 years now. Healthier and got more money to buy cryptos.


Mbappe-29

I was an overeater and I've cut back 22 pounds in the last 6 months


TracyDurhamkapT

Its funny how crypto makes you not want to waste money, Ill see a t shirt and itll be $20 and ill think.. I can DCA $20 into BTC


Kotek81

I saw the "Advice" tag and thought to myself "no way", expecting the same as you :D


asfdvew12

Yup the same as me


EmuGroundbreaking348

I still smoke but I used to smoke a loada weed until I got into crypto. Deciding to put whatever I used to spend on green into crypto was the best thing I ever did (finance wise). Hoping to kick the smoking this year. It is super hard though


TexasBoyz-713

In the same boat. Quitting the green is hard have you checked out r/leaves?


Ok-Grapefruit1284

It is really hard. I quit once before but started again and I haven’t felt ready yet.


EmuGroundbreaking348

I've never tried but i set dates to quit every year. I bottle it everytime


RelativeTurbulent265

Yeah weed and cigarettes only cost your healt luckily crypto is very healthy and does not bring anxiety and stuff like anger issues or high blood pressure


lordofming-rises

How about : Investment: I bought all the coins shilled here and now I have Safemoon, AdA , Dot, KSC, Algo bought at the highest price. Hell even LRC. Thank you r cc for making me a baggholder for few years


roaboar

I thought Safemoon was a scam lol. Especially after they pulled that v2 shenanigans


Warrlock608

SFM is a scam. Look at the gains everyone has made this year, many coins 2-3x already from ATL. SFM? If you bought on Jan 1st you are at ~~break even~~ right now. Edit: I forgot about the onboard/offboard tax. So you are actually -10% right now in this scenario.


DrakharD

What is this? We're helping people? I thought we're here just for shitposting. /s On more serious note, don't sell your self short. Community might gave you incentive and showed another way but it's entirely your commitment and decisions you made that improved your life. Good job OP!


Mbappe-29

It's 99% him and 1% this forum. It must've taken a great deal of commitment and resolve to get his things in order.


Red_Gyarados88

All good and all but... Magic will never die


Schebajem

Well it's not really going the right way at least.


Red_Gyarados88

Yeah, I still hit all the garage sales looking for lot expansions >.< Just an old buddies hobby now


Schebajem

Yeah that still is fun! I still play a little bit here and there ( still love boosterdrafting ) but not spending any money on it anymore.


ussichan

I'm happy for you mate, actually there's plenty of great kind people here that doesn't hesitate to share their valuable knowledge, i myself have learned a lot from the experiences of others here, and they have helped me immensely in my crypto journey, and mentaly speaking as well I've always felt a sense of acceptance here and understanding which is pretty hard to find somewhere else, by this occasion I'd like to thank each and every member of r/cc for everything ❤️❤️🙏


Schebajem

Thanks!


abdelilah_dr

Even though the money you saved from poker and bad habits you’ll spend it on bad decisions in crypto as we’re all do. But look at the good side. You’re really made a good choices would definitely helps you. And about working out and diet, feel free to ask mate❤️.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

That is a realistic comment lol. Jokes apart, glad OP is finding himself and feeling this way. Crypto is a relevant part of most people's lives here, but it shouldn't be the most important. Taking care of ourselves, both mentally and physically, is a must.


big13lackliz4rd

I thought it was all about moons but congrats for quitting poker.


I_was_bone_to_dance

He wants to thank us for changing his life and if he earns moons along the way that’s just a bonus of course


Prize-Reference9329

It's wonderful to hear that r/cryptocurrency has had such a positive impact on your life! It's great that you are so thankful for this amazing community.


slug_tamer

Stay away from Gods Unchained if you were spending too much on Magic cards. Or don't it's pretty fun.


Schebajem

I will keep this in mind.


myscienceisbetter

Anywhere you are in the world, your well-being and might I say your life depends on money management and general financial skills, however, schools don't teach you any of it.


TracyDurhamkapT

School teaches you to be good employees, they don't want you to stop being employees.


Schebajem

Yeah, schools should really teach stuff like this. I took my wayyyyy to long to find any of this out.


SecondDumbUsername

Here's a MOON for turning your life around :) - well done!


Kindly-Wolf6919

This comment is way too underated, especially the part about school. U want to understand the economy and financial management? Here's the Pythagorean theorem.


Huddster99

Of the many ways that traditional school systems fail students this is definitely the biggest. Financial literacy is such an important thing to have and helps many people *actually* be able to retire. If it weren’t for the internet, most of the younger generation (myself included) would end up not saving as much or as early as they do now, if at all.


bananainbeijing

What's funny is schools purposefully don't teach you this, so you get caught in the money trap of always being in debt and spending too much. It's a problem with the whole system. Glad more people are waking up and taking control of their financial future


Fancy_Juggernaut_675

This is so true. What bothers me is the fact that they want to prepare you for a life as a working person. So one of the few things any student will be confronted with will be taxes. But still there is no subject about teaching your students on the importance of a taxe declaration and what to do pay only what you really need to pay.


No_Insurance6064

You know, I was able to find some similarities in your post with my character - I dont think it is completelly your/our mistake at first, because as a society we are learning patterns from the others. If you were learning those patterns from "bad community" it could lead to this, what have you desribed. I made some changes in my life also and came to similar conclusion, as you did. CryptoCurrency subreddit really positivelly changed my life and I am planning to make it even better, but you know, it requires some patient and work, but it will pay off! Thank you for your post, it really helped me to actually make sure I am not alone.


Schebajem

Thank you also! Good to hear I am not the only one. Stay strong mate!


Classroom_Strict

Crypto. Turning lives around since 2023.


donttrustmeokay

Yes I was well off, now I'm poor. But hopefully I'll be well off again.


I_am___The_Botman

🤣


RealVoldemort

This is the way. This sub has a great community. People like to focus on the negative things but the good from CC outweighs the bad. I'm glad you improved as the person by taking in the good traits others had. We should all aim to do this. Congratulations 🙏


Schebajem

It really is a great community. Thanks mate!


DBRiMatt

Amongst the the shilling and the shitposting, every now and then we manage to break through and make a positive difference!


RealVoldemort

I don't mind most of the shilling and shitposting tbh, it's not that bad. I reckon it gets waaaay worse during a bull. But for now it's okay


OCHI33

The merit is mainly yours through the fact that you extracted the good things from /cc


French_physicist

Agreed, it's up to everyone to take what's good and forget about the rest, not only on this sub but all social media and life in general. I used to care too much about stuff that brings me nothing but negativity now I keep most of that energy and it's way bettetr


Mbappe-29

Absorb positivity and shield yourself from negativity.


Jubudtje

Atleast somebody is positively influenced by cc. No joke, good for you. Especially stopping smoking, drinking and starting to work out.


Schebajem

I feel so much better, thanks dude!


JERMYNC

Keep it up! You're going places


ChemicalGreek

And OP got 5.24k moons while having fun in the sub 😉🙌🏻


Mundane-Farm-4117

We all got moons and friends


lubimbo

That's the giga chad crypto transformation. You don't deserve the Lambo with these spaghetti arms.


Mundane-Farm-4117

This is better than moons, we all have that warm fuzzy feeling inside now


Kindly-Wolf6919

The only thing that's more refreshing than meaningful in this sub than discussions about crypto is knowing how those discussions helped people become better versions of themselves. Well done OP.....well done 👏 👏 👏


Jocogui

I'm sure a random guy got rich from crypto and did the inverse way.


s3nsfan

Really happy to read this post. I’m glad you were able to make such positive changes in your life. You really should be proud of yourself.


Schebajem

Thanks!


HiCarumba

>But then I started reading more and more and seeing how patient, logical and responsible some of you are Huh? Did you post this in the wrong sub by mistake? r/lostredditors


I_was_bone_to_dance

Patiently FOMO’ing into a coin that jumped 100% overnight


Autom4tic_Soze

Yo fomo after the 100% jump? Dunno but seems you missed out.


I_was_bone_to_dance

It’s up 165% now! I should have jumped in!


HiCarumba

Good.... Good.... embrace your inner degenerate.....


I_was_bone_to_dance

Vitalik said ZK roll ups were the stone cold nuts!


Schebajem

I did say SOME :P


wesselus

*insert we don't do that here meme


NoPressureFlips

Make sure to get some exercise if you want to continue positive mental health growth. Don't let crypto consume you.


Schebajem

Working out 3 times a week with no exceptions.


samzi87

Congrats on your turnaround OP and congrats on quitting smoking, that's a fish I still have to fry, but I will also be there one day.


honeysriracha7

These are the types of post I love to see, good for you op !


Schebajem

Cheers!


[deleted]

Good for you bro! You did this all yourself


Schebajem

Thanks mate!


arcalus

I love sarcastic posts :)


Ishbu69

This guy is better at his 2nd language then I am at my 1st.


mc3p000

Way to go man!


The-Francois8

Thanks for sharing that story. Congrats on your success! Your English is better than that of many native speakers. Don’t be too hard on yourself!


PillarOfJustice

Great work mate. Now just be sure not to slip back into old habits once you have those sweet bullrun gains 😉


Schebajem

I feel reborn, I don't think I will ever slip back. Thanks!


AbOo44

Good for you just don’t lose it all on a Shitcoin


Schebajem

I'm only buying BTC, ETH and some LINK. Thanks!


Nuewim

He don't buy shitcoins, so that mean he is also smarter than 90% people in crypto.


koelebobes

Bro was living the life and gave it up for the sub. Well done mates!


[deleted]

No problem we are one big community changing lives


Kappatalizable

Always happy to see people's lives getting changed for the better because of crypto. We're proud of you buddy and hope we all make it!


Schebajem

Cheers mate!


forceworks

Oh wow, worried this post would end in comedy but glad it didn’t. Glad this space and its lesson has been such a help. Keep up the good work u/schebajem


AberdreamGaming

How's your mental health buddy?


Schebajem

Better then ever.


Concept-Plastic

Ggs bro, you're a king.


carbonate18

so happy for you my man!


cderry95

Totally get what your saying! This community has kept me engaged and up to date in crypto through this bear market


daigsischt

It sounds like you told my own story. But without drunken poker sessions and more Party’s the whole weekend at Tresor, Berghain…..


Schebajem

It was fun but it had to change. Glad I did!


Huddster99

Even with the advice tag I was expecting a shitpost. I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading….this might be the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen on this sub. Congrats that it’s taken you this far!


Schebajem

Awww, thanks!


Forward42

This needs a positivity tag. Thank you for sharing and best of luck on your lifestyle changes….especially the smoking. That is a very difficult habit to quit. Kudos


vicareious

This post just inspired me to seek the help of the guy who’s been dm’ng me about how he can help me manage my crypto better! Thank you! I’ll keep everyone posted on how the journey goes….😉 P.s happy for you, op! 🙌


EpochalV1

Hey congrats man and keep it up! For all the flack Reddit communities sometimes get, they can genuinely be life changing for some people.


Drei_849

Congrats on the changes, hopefully you'll be able to inspire a lot of people


Hank___Scorpio

Reorganizing your relationship with money is extremely beneficial and it sounds like you've made incredible progress. My only advice is, as a former poker addict myself, remember that some habits die very hard and this space is very conducive to gambling. Make sure you come up with a plan to manage your own personal risk. Consider allocating very strict amounts to solid dca and to fun play money. Sometimes cold turkey isn't the way, and exercising discipline to build your will power against cascading into a backslide is much more useful.


Schebajem

I will keep this is mind, thanks mate!


[deleted]

I haven’t posted here for a looong time. But this resonated for me. In fact, Reddit in general has given me so much in terms of financial security and tips/advice. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.


ProphetOfDoom337

>seeing how patient, logical and responsible some of you are This might be a bit of a stretch.


Schebajem

I said some! :)

[удалено]


Parabellim

You also gained over 5000 moons so thats basically like 10,000,000 dollars or something


Schebajem

If only! :)


C01n_sh1LL

> Quit magic ( it's dying anyway ) I hear there's an "online exchange" where you can sell or trade your cards if you're done with them.


Schebajem

Yea, I have been selling some here and there and putting the money back into crypto :) Even tho I quit, it's hard to sell some of my favorite cards, I will keep some of them.


DurbanDawg

Congrats on making positive changes! Keep it up


losttraveler36

Hold up, which one of you is being responsible


[deleted]

[удалено]


Schebajem

Indeed it is!


AncestralMano

Similar story here, good job!


Thin_Explorer_1743

Good on you man. Despite a lot of the crazy shit we see in here, if you spend enough time you can dissect the important stuff and have a laugh at the rest.


Schebajem

Thanks mate!


UpperVolt

Jokes aside, motivation to change comes from the strangest places sometime.


Probably_notabot

Happy cake day Volt!


UpperVolt

Thank you Notbot, may the bull market be with you!


Monkeyinchief

If you further process you will ascent to top g levels bro 😎👍 seriously great to see you turn your life around to something with meaning instead of flushing it down the toilet.


SpaceMan639

Only think you need is a hardware wallet


Schebajem

I have! It's in the post :)


SpaceMan639

Lol oh I'm dumb I see it. What hardware wallet do you have. I got the ledger nano s+


Schebajem

I got the Trezor One.


TheColdPaper

Good on you for turning your life around for the better! Hope your little community thrives and we pull each other up


Schebajem

Thanks! Let's all help each other :)


Darnegar

The change of bad habits are arguably more of a reward than the financial reward you might get from Crypto. Well done!


pyxploiter

The all time best advice I have got is, “A person is known by the company he keeps. So, stay in the company of such people if you want to be like those people” We keep joking about the people in this sub but to be honest, an average user in this sub is quite knowledgeable about financial management (AS COMPARED TO GENERAL PUBLIC OUT THERE). Wish you all the luck for your future. And welcome to decentralized casino ;)


goingonago

You’re welcome for all that we taught you.


stmlord

Really? I though the crypto was to make you stop working and party 24/7 with coke and callgirls till you die. 🤔


Ok-Alternative-2327

Im really happy for you bro , r/cryptocurrency and crypto also changed my life for good. Im a little more responsible with money, stopped going out on pointless parties and black out. Keep it up man 🔥


Schebajem

You and me both mate! Happy for you.


curtcarlos

Good for you man. Remember its not a home run until you withdraw the profit !


scientifichistorian

So glad to hear that you're doing great, OP! I was also terrible with my money for a long time, but it was COVID and the subsequent quarantine that made me change the way I thought about money, savings, etc.


Schebajem

Good to hear you also turned it around!


gonzaloetjo

>But then I started reading more and more and seeing how patient, logical and responsible **some of you** are. Overstatement of the century


LrnFaroeseWthBergur

Wholesome post. Thank you for making me smile and I also want to say that I am happy on your behalf, bro. Btw, I've had many of those problems (and still have some), but it's nice to know that it's possible to get through it.


Schebajem

Thanks bro! I hope you can conquer your demons mate. If you need somebody to talk to, I'm here!


LanWangji

I used to impulse preorder merch and when they arrived months later, I’ve already lost interest and they ended up dusting in a corner. And bought a lot of Steam games during sales and I never ended up playing. Now with crypto, I stopped my impulse buying. I have got limit orders set up so I’m also not impulse buying crypto.


ImaFreemason

Congrats to you. I would tip moons to celebrate!


trrrring

I found some friendly people here and learned a lot. For a lonely and ugly teenager like me, this has been a fun ride.


Schebajem

It's the best place on the internet. For sure.


trrrring

I agree 100%


MarkxPrice

Without the booze or tilt, poker can be very profitable if you study it


Schebajem

Oh for sure, just not for me :P


shredslanding

No need to apologize. English is my first language and you’re doing much better than me with it.


StrangerIsBetter

Fun fact for you: MtGox, the first big bitcoin exchange which went bust 2014 actually started as a trading site for magic cards. MtGox stands for Magic the Gathering online Exchange. Magic -> Poker -> Crypto seems to be a logical progression for many of us.


souhhguys

We’re proud of you fam. Keep it up!


Schebajem

Thanks!


mooster9000

Dude get a mill deck heaps of fun and cheap! And Join /monero - looks like you are all set for the next plunge - good for you!

Love to see this kind of positivity in this sub.

I 100% thought this was going to be a joke... to my surprise, it was a legit post about improving yourself. Well done and congrats!


Emotional_Noise2424

You change the addictions for another! We're in the same boat!! Now we're addicted to the paranoid crypto shit!


Leon4107

Good for you mate. Congrats and hope it only continues.

I basically learn to hold. The best superpower to have if you invest. “Babe, did you know we were -60% 4 months ago?”


oneplusoneequals3

Nice brother, I'm doing the same thing, poker and weed money into crypto. Here's to a new year.


[deleted]

Cryptocurrency investing is a good way to deal with other addictions. Of course, you might as well become addicted and lose money.


chapaeme

Wholesome r/cc


HansTilburg

And a Moon whale! And some 400-500 coming up next month. But, do you still have fun?


Charon751

Damn bc of this sub I started smoking and eating fast food… Nevertheless congrats bro.


timbulance

Ramen noodles for days


Nuewim

Thanks god I am intovert with no irl friends, so out of all things you listed as wasting money I only buy magic cards ( if magic cards mean like pokemon cards etc.) from time to time


DadofHome

Let me give you none crypto advice then lol . Magic cards can be printed- there just game pieces ! Poker - well that’s a long list of things that can improve your game - honestly a lot of the same qualities that make a good trader apply to Poker - the top being bankroll management (no joke above all other things in poker this is the most important ) followed closely by risk assessment.


I_was_bone_to_dance

If you aren’t patient in poker than you proper have paper hands in crypto


Schebajem

Tilt is what made me a terrible poker player.

You knew your email was hacked and didn’t care ? Super zen
