I will never blame this person, yes a Bitcoin is $2 at the time but what about his survival? That amount might be a lot for him to survive at the time, would you rather get yourself killed for something that you are sure will worth hundreds of thousands in the future?

For this to possible you have to consider your present situation, how you are living life, it doesn't have to be perfect but you should be able to feed yourself and pay your bills, if you can't do that then you will get into Bitcoin for quick profits and sell again.
