but is Bitcoin an occupation?
CAPITAL YES!
Bitcoin is an occupation and a big one at that, I actually didn't realise it until I came into this forum, I used to picture Bitcoin investment as just a part time stuff that people go into to get extra cash and something people didn't really take too serious, but coming into this community, my eye opened to many possibilities entailed in Bitcoin investment and that it's a full time job and occupation for a lot of people.
For some, rather than adding Bitcoin as a side hustle to support their career, Bitcoin becomes the career and they venture into other areas as the side hustle.
First of all, what's really an occupation?
It's something/anything a person gets engaged in regularly, it could be a profession, a skill or a role, or anything a person gets involved in order to earn an honest living or to pursue their passion, it can also be a way to tell how exactly a person spends their energy and time to achieve a goal.
This explains exactly how most people feel about Bitcoin investment, so that means we can boldly say Bitcoin is an occupation.
I think rather than wanting a mentor find a coach, a guardian who can help you understand the good knowledge of crypto-currency. Leave the business aspect aside for now till you have solidified your grounds
And I think that's exactly what a MENTOR is supposed to do, a MENTOR doesn't necessarily have to be a self installed title or a name.
A person who does all these stuffs you've listed here, whom you can always confide in, whenever you've got concerns or encounter certain difficulties in the course of one your researchs or findings is automatically a mentor, even when you don't officially address him as one.
