There can be tough choices in life, and surely there can be people who might feel that they are not able to earn much or even enough money when they are working for someone else, and they might speculate that they are able to make more money by investing into a business and/or perhaps by getting additional training to qualify for higher paid positions (promotions or perhaps getting work in a different field from their accustomed field).
It is not necessarily a bad idea to divest from bitcoin for those kinds of purposes, even though it also may have had been better to find funding through other sources, so guys can be left with dilemmas, especially in regards to the kind of income that they can earn with their present skills versus either gaining skills or entering into a business that might require capital but allow for the leveraging of labor to potentially be able to make more money than without such a business.
Tough choices in life for sure, but I often think that there are more people than one can imagine, who are actually able to understand what the right choice or a good choice would be, but they can't execute it for distinct reasons. Similar to a drug addiction, many people know drugs are bad, but they can't stop it despite knowing it would improve their lives.
This especially refers to getting extra training or education. Assuming that they would need to divest from bitcoin to pay for additional education or training, they would also have to be sure that they are able to fully execute it and complete the steps their own decision would require them to execute.
Now it might come into play that if they have doubts about themselves, divesting from a promising investment can feel extra hard.
There is a fine line between all these things. It is neither wrong to get more education nor more training nor holding more bitcoin, but if you have to exchange one for the other, it is not easy to identify the best option.
When some people decided to sell their bitcoin when it went from $100 to $1000, it wasn't a necessarily a stupid decision because what else gives you 10x in any market in a short period of time. If they exchange bitcoin for extra training now, they can't know whether another job or a higher position in the same job would ever pay them the same as any price increases in bitcoin over the same period of time.
