Is that a direct quote from Theymos? It could well be, but I don't remember him writing that (though it's quite possible I either missed the quote or forgot it altogether). As to the second sentence above, the merit system doesn't just make it more difficult for newbies and bounty shitposting, it also makes it waaaay harder for account farmers to even exist.
One of them being newbies having an easy time ranking up in a month and a half and promoting their Bounties through the signature campaign without any hassle.
No, Theymos mentioned something like it'll be damaging to the forum if he did that, I'm 75% sure that the Newbie problem was indirectly mentioned there. How did you miss all the threads asking this very same question? Anyway, since you happened to stumble upon posts by members complaining about the merit system, maybe you should look in Meta for all the threads asking "How I earn meritz?"--because there are a lot of them, and the answers basically never vary.
At that time merits weren't the problem i was making enough money from my other main IRL business and wasn't active that much on the forum unless it's related to online gaming Topics, gambling, etc. But now due to Corona IRL business isn't that much active anymore and i'd be making as much as i could through side source incomes, One of them Signature campaign, tbh I didn't care about merits back then because i thought it'll come to me naturally, But it's true people don't merit posts in all the sections and don't read all the pages as Lucious wrote - I notice that some, so to speak, somewhat good posts are buried in some mega-threads, and you can hardly expect anyone to find your post on page 9 of someone's thread - and that after all these answers you will write something meaningful and original.
I would be happy to review your posts, and I even encourage members to PM me asking me to do so. However, right now I'm extremely low on sMerits and may not be able to give you many even if you've made posts that are worth meriting. If I find I'm unable to give you merits because I don't have enough to give, I'll bookmark your post history and will come back to it when my source sMerits are replenished.
If you're ok with me making a list of topics/posts I've made that I think are merit worthy and sending that list to you for checking their worth of receiving merits then i'll be happy with it, Or I've come up with another solution that there should be a Topic with Sub-links to the Topics of users that contains their links to their posts that they think they deserve merits and that Main thread should be in meta so that members with enough sMerit resource can randomly select users from the Main-Topic list and give merits to the users.
I looked at a few pages of your post history, and the first problem I detect is that about 35% of your posts are in Games and rounds, and as far as I know that board is not exactly part of the forum where you can expect merits. Furthermore, I notice that some, so to speak, somewhat good posts are buried in some mega-threads, and you can hardly expect anyone to find your post on page 9 of someone's thread - and that after all these answers you will write something meaningful and original.
That's correct, It's a problem that people don't read every page of the topic and it's worse for people who write good stuff on page number 99. I don't want to give you advice to be what you are not, in the sense that you force yourself to post in boards that don't suit you according to your knowledge -
IRL I do that same thing you're telling when someone asks me for advice, I also don't tell people their shortcomings since no one is perfect and it's not possible for everyone to understand why you explain something so that could be another reason, But it's ok to guide someone to a direction by telling them honestly what's at the end of it (Which you did and I quoted next)but I can tell you that it's completely wrong for you to hunt merits, and in fact merits should find you. My advice to you is to find a few members who have earned a lot of merits, to study their posts and try to find the best way to become a better poster - we all learned from someone and we were all beginners at one point.
1. Well I'm not begging for merits or complaining about the system but I'm just curious how can I post effectively to be worthy of earning merits, not fishing them, or maybe iI am  2. Well yes, I'm looking for some members that earn lots of merits, I'll post the details on the thread later after doing enough research. |

First of all, I want to say I'm not complaining about the merit system or the authority for not making me earn more merits.
Secondly, The grin icon due to the fact i stumbled upon a few merit-related topics, and the majority of them were complaining about removing the merit system!
To the Second point- Removing the merit system as Theymos said "It'll be disastrous to the forum in many ways"
One of them being newbies having an easy time ranking up in a month and a half and promoting their Bounties through the signature campaign without any hassle.
Now people like me have a lot of activity but unable to earn merit even after trying my/our best to write High-Quality posts, I mean in everyone's eyes their posts are high quality TBH.
In case my Posts aren't good enough to receive merits then can someone suggest to me how do I improve my chances of getting merits and Getting a higher rank on the forum for one of the reasons being having perks of getting into campaigns that accept higher ranks, Or Having higher ranks to get paid more for the current campaign(s).
Can someone review my Posts and Point out Drawbacks in my posts as to what's the cause because I'm unable to find it even after searching for it,
Everyone's opion would be helpful if it advances my chances for getting good sums of merits for my posts.
Thank you

Even if he did ban Twitter back then we wouldn't be certain if the present president of USA will revert those laws, as he did to some of Trump's laws.
Coming to the Nigerian government, it's natural in my eyes that when you ban the representative of some country on a big platform then you're insulting the whole nation, and most likely the platform is going to be banned.
Twitter might have learned a lesson here doesn't matter if it's a small one but they did.
The US is a different country from Nigeria, banned Twitter there is useless but banning a site right now is really really stupid because with a VPN or create a custom DNS it will all open It's really clear that the Nigerian government is a fool and countries like that are usually liked by stupid people like Trump Or maybe it was a move by trump to get votes of black peoples in US |

A lot of respect to those who held through all the crashes and bull runs, but hard anybody can do that without losing all your sleep during the night.
Lol, that highlighted part relates to me perfectly, I do remember while trading on huge amounts I couldn't sleep, because of the excitement from the trade when 5% goes up and down. Then having a thought as if you're going to make the trade-in profit because you might never reach the profit percentage, and ended up selling everything just to sleep. And then the next day the coin crosses your profit percent and you wish you would have had slept without worrying about the coin's future, So the TIP is: Thinking about the trade before executing it and don't mess with in between unless necessary |

Would be accepting fiat or credit cards for all of my services and wouldn't be earning for writing like i'm doing here right now, Other than opening a blog to get paid through advertisements.
But I do wish I knew about bitcoin back in 2009 there could be hope that I lost my wallet on some hard drive.
Then trying data recovering methods on the hard drive to recover the wallet most likely because I would've sold those bitcoins in 2013 when the initial pump happened,
Then realizing it later in 2017 when the bitcoin price blew up again and thinking i should've had held bitcoins.

it's going to bad impact Google?
I don't think there's any problem here, It's natural for a company to exert their control when there's a product they know anyone can't beat anytime soon. Google is also trying hard for companies not to consider another OS while they're using Google OS. I only have one doubt that is - If companies break the contract in future then what will happen to the products they've previously made with google OS, Will google void or limit that product in the future through some forced update on the device? - If this happens then it will be a bad impact for google but doing so will completely be not breaking the law unless written in the contract. |

Looking at OP,
I'd say Cryptocurrencies are volatile because not every mainstream financial institution such as banks supports its transaction with fiat, @least most of them.
It's natural for people to avoid doing transactions to such crypto when the banks are blocking their accounts for doing so, which is happening in most of the countries right now,
And it's natural for people to ask why so many are nations doing the same thing?
Another thing, Cryptos are much more volatile compared to stocks, Excluding penny stocks.

Can you recheck it? they edited their answers after the game finished! SmokerFace and Batwingoz
If you look at it then he's the one who reported SmokerFace and Batringoz when they changed their predictions after the game ended, Then he took the inspiration from them, edited it when the game's going on, What a move mastermind. He forgot he's not the only detective here  |

I don't understand how Bots, scripts, or tools can bypass the forum's backend to tracking user's total logged-in time.
You don't need to understand very much, you can try itself by adding it on extension chrome or firefox (searching in google with keyword; auto refresh extension), just set time in minutes or seconds. and don't forget to click Always stay logged in: on bitcointalk account. But, what for? there is no reward for mostly logged time. there is mostly cost also, User need also rent a VPS and If doesn't, PC should be online every day (electric cost). I know what you said above but look at the OP, Users mentioned there are online for over 60+ Years!, That's more time than the forum has been around, can you explain to me why is that? Staying logged in for 10 years using VPS or Extension for example you'll be credited with "Total time logged in: XXXX days, xx hours and xx minutes." But it shouldn't go over 10 years, and if it does then there's a bug in the backend. |

As the title says I'm curious what's the real reason for the decline?
Is it because whales are dumping?
-Or Dogecoin meme died? and people taking it over on other altcoins?
There are some altcoins that aren't down as badly as popular coins like ETH and BTC.
So what's your point of view regarding this decline?
I think that a lot of people and investors have started to look at their options, since the recent news of companies like Tesla dropping bitcoin as a payment method and China banning bitcoin mining and taking some serious actions against it, and all of that is causing some panic as always that is leading to people selling, as of the other altcoins i think some of them are centralized stable coins means that they don't get affected by anything and their userbase has no reason to dump them. Technically it's as it was always, -- Buy the Bitcoin first, then create hype, accept it as payment here and there, then dump it on people then make scare them by removing it as a payment option because of price's downfall. ~~Buy Again and repeat the same cycle with some modifications to the strategy. How easy it's to manipulate the people. |

Looking at the majority of the replies here on this thread which is " China's responsible " Well, yes it's possible that China's responsible for that they don't have democracy but pure dictatorship and can change the rules on a Whim. So you can see if that's the case then how easy it is to manipulate a market, which is China's specialty. I recently made a thread about China linking with U.S, Where this guy "Dr.Fauchi" paid a lab in Wuhan to create Corona Virus along, there had been Email found regarding his Assistance in creating Covid-19, Along with Emails linking Bill Gates on the matter as well. I'll post the link here if anyone wanna check it out: (Covid-19 Virus Research Criminal Found - Anthony Fauci): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5342617.0
China's everywhere being the bad guy but somehow doesn't get hit to break it, I somewhat believe there are People pulling Strings behind China to show China on the frontlines of being a bad nation. But we'll always be proud of " Made in China" |

According to 1xbit_official, it is not permitted to change your prediction. It is unfair to other players who are posting their predictions after you.
There were a couple of participants who were disqualified for it.
1xbit_official means you cannot edit your post with regards to what you said above, But deleting your previous prediction and making another post is permitted because you are not messing with the people's prediction who've made it till now if I'm correct. Maybe we should wait for 1xbit_official to add rule next time, looking at Drakrmaster's situation this time around. |

@OP.
I don't know what you're thinking but are you good? having thoughts like what the title you're asking seems uncomfortable to me and made me think if you're good or not.
Looks like OP is in Suicidal situation and I'm afraid why he comes to this idea. Hope He'll find peace of mind and forget about what's His planning, this post is very alarming . Or he is just asking it for fun and how people react to such question? Anyway he is still online so no need to worry about it unless OP himself express that he got such suicidal thoughts. Anyway OP, getting slaughtered can also be included which is also painless I guess. I might give you the secret why I'm still alive then no campaign manager will hire me if they come to know I'm going to buy anesthesia injections from the campaign money ~you didn't hear that from me or i'll have to come up with the excuse that the account wasn't in my possession at the time this post was written ~~, Probably will take 1n half a month before I'm gone, Or maybe I won't. You guys can bet money on my life |

Regarding winners choice, we are open to your suggestions  in my other prediction-games we have to following rule: if no one has the exact score, then the price will be on top for the next game (called 'jackpot') other option: next game not 3 winners, but 6 winners with correct score And the jackpot will be divided between top 2 next game's match predictors 50/50. Or who predicted the score first could also be given 100% of the jackpot. |

If eth and btc are declining slowly, it means they are being accumulated. Other coins are not being touched because major coins seem to be on the radar of whales and these are yet to see their bottoms for this year as none of them both reached their support areas where it can be called that there are chances of a retracement. This correction will be a very big lesson for those who like to listen to meme coin shills and invest in btc at its top and then dumped on.
Well said, Even if you compare Dogecoin and bitcoin in the recent decline it'll show that bitcoin didn't fell less than 50% comparing it to its higher highs, But looking at dogecoin look where it went from 0.7$/Doge to -> 0.18-0.19 $/Doge. This is definitely going to be a very big lesson for those who were under the influence of this FOMO which was cast by Elon musk but got taken advantage of by people who invested before the massive population got the meme "Doge to the moon". I wonder if they'll ever laugh at memes, especially on the doge ones  |
