I don't think this topic fits in the Speculation board, i don't know where it even fits, maybe in beginners and help, maybe.
I don't think "lucrative" is the appropriate word to use, when you want to introduce Bitcoin to people. Buying bitcoin isn't a business, and you can send the wrong message to people if you tell them that 'bitcoin is lucrative". That being said, it is a bad decision to tell people about your bitcoin hodlings and make yourself vulnerable to their attacks.
