I feel you bro. Infact that actually happend to me when i was about to teach my friends and neighbors about bitcointalk but they get easily diacourage when i say that their accounts must be ranked up first until junior members so that they can participate some campaign .
But bitcointalk.org isnt only the source for bitcoin income because there were lots of online sites out there that offers job vacancies that they can apply in order to earn a bitcoin
Trading and investing is also another way to make a business in bitcoin aside from working as a free lancer however i do also agree that many people will still have a boudbt when they see that bitcoins value is not stable.
