I still have troubles suggesting to a business man to stop leveraging his skills and/or talents in building a business and invest into bitcoin. Perhaps that the best we can attempt to do is to try to get those folks to hedge their bets a bit and to put some of their cashflow into bitcoin.
neither do I advise any body not to leverage on his skill and talent. I resonate with the school of thought that encourages people to work an get paid either by self employed or by salary work and invest on bitcoin. we all are saying thesame thing just that I wanted to trow more light in regards to the important of bitcoin and how small investment can increase a man coast in due time. we all know that bitcoin doesn't perform magic if not invested on. for that reason we can not neglect the fact that bitcoin can't work on its own but depend on a force to act. just like a car that can't run without a petrol. the money generated from the difference kind of business will be used to fuel bitcoin just like a car, and the amount of petrol on it determines the distance the car can go.
For example, if someone is barely graduating from high school (like 18 years old) and his parents cannot support him any longer, he may well be better off to invest whatever money that he has into learning some life-long job skills rather than investing into bitcoin, and sure thee could be ways to attempt to do both, but at the same time, sometimes the cash crunch is so tight that there might not be enough of a budget to be able to do both. The balances are not always easy to figure out... but frequently in life choices have to be made and sometimes there is not abilities to do both at that particular time in life.
normally it is not encourageable for teenager under parental care to invest in bitcoin, expecially those that cant feed themselves with or without their parents to invest. Bitcoin investment is for mature minded people who can make personal decision on how their finances can be controlled, including how to regularly invest without any distractions, because the most challenging part in bitcoin investment as a young man is the ability to handle though situation without selling his bitcoin. so it requires decipline, self decision, focus and of course patient. in summary an 18 years teenager who is under parentalcare should not invest into bitcoin, rather should focus on learning a skill and if he probably has a work doing after his skill, then he can think of investing into BTC. otherwise he will end up making a wrong decision if he has no skill and trying to invest into bitcoin. we should be able to figure out when we are free to invest into bitcoin because bitcoin investment is not done when we are in a tight corner.
Your example seems to be different from mine, even though we might be making similar points.
My example was meant to be a person who is ONLY newly living on his own (without his parents), he may need to focus on building skills rather than buying bitcoin, yet he surely is going to have to consider his situation, and there might be more value to invest into building job skills or even getting educated rather than buying bitcoin.
The example of a person who is still under his parents could be a different situation if his parents might be covering his expenses, then he might have more abilities to buy bitcoin during that period that the parents are willing to cover his expenses.. that is if he has some kind of an income that allows for his having more income than his expenses. Surely the relationships are going to vary in terms of how long a person might be able to live with his parents and also how much the young person might have to contribute to the expenses of the household. There is no clear answer about whether young people are able to invest into bitcoin and also potentially to build his employable (and cash generating) skills and knowledge too.
