If everything else is depreciating, then it is appreciating in exchange with anything else. 

Is it appreciating?  Or is everything else depreciating? Is that the same?

Good money is store of value, that's why I used the term "hold". And, it's beyond store of value, it's appreciating every year on average.

What advice would you give to a 20-years old Bitcoiner?

> I'm convinced bitcoin is the future of money, and if I hold it for another 10-15 years, I'll be owning a very valuable asset, which may even allow me to retire in my thirties.
However, none of my close people is interested 

If you were truly convinced bitcoin is the future of money you wouldn't speak of it in holding terms. You won't be holding it, you will be utilizing it.

Perhaps you mean have a positive savings rate for 10-15 years  In that case you're pretty much guaranteed.

Oh, and you're here asking these questions? My advice is keep doing what you're doing. And invest in skills.
