Yes I understand we are on the Internet. But I think it's a special group of people that Bitcoin attracts because they think it's some get rich quick scheme and not just money... Thousands of posts on how do I make x btc per day; the answer is get a fucking job then buy Bitcoin.

Isn't Bitcoin quite of the get rich scheme ? Tongue

Started from $5 now we at $1024 Tongue

, not "quick" obviously but you get the reference.It's completely okay to make bitcoins through the forum as long as you're not getting scammed or scamming anybody.Being a freelance programmer here,if I spend most of the time on projects I got through bitcointalk,I can easily make my living working from home rather than "getting a real job".

What you say is correct, but many did not know of bitcoin before the massive increase in price. The people who are treating it like a quick scheme were definitely not those early adopters. You are actually practising a skill as a programmer, Bitcoin and bitcoin forums are just additional ways for you to capitalize on a a real job. "A freelance programmer working from home for btc" is included in my categorization of "a real job" as Bitcoin is only a payment method in your case.
