I was in doubt when I first read the OP as well but we never can tell, he might be telling the truth. Many might be earning from Bitcoin but do not have deep knowledge about the coin, and I have some friends in his category too, so this made me boycott any further arguments with him. Some might just invest the money due to what a friend or family told them and continue with their normal life especially when the money is little and they are busy themselves. Not everybody is so kin with internet investments or has the opportunity to read much about what they commit their money to.

Just like me, I knew so little about Bitcoin until I joined BTCt, I was so naive about it even though I knew it was an investment opportunity and I have been a trader for a long time. I even traded Bitcoin on the traditional brokers' platform but didn't invest in it then or do any research. So, to have known or invested in Bitcoin for that long doesn't mean he is deeply rooted in it. To now make matters work, some will even invest through a friend or relative without so much knowledge about how it is being done, they will just give them the money to do everything for them. That might shock you, but as I am typing I remembered two people I know in that category. If they come to this forum to write the way the OP did, people could doubt them too, but it is the truth.
