Perhaps you have been made to believe in the idea of Bitcoin being a total scam, and have vowed never to have anything to do with it including earning it for free. 

Everyone who has recently tried pitching the idea of investing in Bitcoin to you has been met with a big  NO as an answer.

Does that sound like you? Believe me, you’re not alone.
