It depends on the condition of the person himself because if he really doesn't have a job or steady income and doesn't have any interest in bitcoin then he will most likely want it to be money rather than a form of investment. the reason is simple because indeed he will use it for his daily needs.
Conditions like this are the most likely to occur because indeed seeing from the condition that he does not have a job and a steady income it is already visible even though there is a possibility that he will invest but that is only a few percent of the 100 percent possibility he will cash out it.
The possibility to invest is very low. When it comes to survival or investment, the first preference will be to survival. Whether its you, me or the friend everyone prefer survival. Next part, the friend is jobless, so he's in need of money. Maybe if someone can fulfill his daily bread, he may think of investment/saving. When there is no such chance he'll make use of something available with him.
A person moves into investment/saving when he have got excess amount with him after fulfilling his needs. Here the person is in need and by that time expecting him to invest what you gift is unfair. When we gift something, we shouldn't think of what he does with it.
When talking about needs, all of that will be done and indeed, as you said when talking about preferences, it is clear that basic needs will take precedence over those who cannot support their needs, so surely they will choose not to be able to invest rather than not being able to eat.
On the other hand, I also agree when I say that people who can invest are those who can indeed be said to have enough conditions where their needs in life are sufficiently met because sometimes their thoughts are not towards investing. let alone think for the long term that they can no longer do.
