We should not forget the main reason we are in this forum - Learn and assist others. The merit thing seems to make us forget the fact that we are here to develop ourselves personally and help others in our little way. Merit or no merit, do your best for the community.

I wish i have more available fiat to load my ship with more coins before the ship takes off. 

The new Merit and Ranking system on bitcointalk is now being discussed more. Some people seems to forget the main reason for the forum - Learn and help others - My main reason of joining bitcointalk was to learn about bitcoin and altcoins from more knowledgeable people and also for me to assist others in the little way i can and i must say that it has been an awesome time here.
The new merit system should not make us forget the main aim of joining the group just because we wanna rank up fast. Do the best you can, post quality topic and contribute to discussion sensibly. If people see your contribution and send you merit fine and if they don't who cares.

Here is a link to understand how merit works https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

Thanks, i just noticed that the old rule requires 120 Activity. I was mistaking it for 120 posts.

BOUNTY MANAGER, please kindly award me my point for 5th weeks. Post links above. Thanks.

Don't panic and do not sell you coin for lost. HODL

I had to google "how to earn merit on bitcointalk" before i landed on this thread. It will be nice if this thread can be made obvious on the home page or any appropriate section. Imo, i think is too hard to earn merit, cos by nature of bitcointalk before i should have been promoted to 'Full member' by now.

Yes is true, Facebook says they won't allow cryptocurrency ads anymore. This doesn't mean individual project won't be allowed to post about their ICO, and other stuffs about their project on Facebook again.

Doing KYC is not suppose to be an issue. I am just concerned about the privacy of the information we are given them. Cryptocurrency was supposed to be anonymous and decentralize, but this KYC thing is going against it.

Wow...great news.

The BOUNTY MANAGER, your attention is needed asap. Why was i not given my point for this week? The number of friends i indicated in the form when i filled it was the number of friends i had as at that day. And i indicate the number of friends i have as the day i post my result for the week. Is that suppose to be an issue?

Why the remark "Unknown friends / 8 followers"? and point not awarded.

Really anything can happen in the crypto world. It is even hard to determine the deep this days because where you think is the deep may be broken and even go deeper. It is really a game of guess like someone said above.

BTC could go down to $5,000. What do you think?

If you have xvg from another exchange and you wanna move it to Binance, yes you can. Get your xvg address from the 'Deposit' page and transfer the xvg to the address.

I would rather buy and HODL bitcoin. If you have the equipment and electricity, mining is profitable too.

50 Gwei should make your transaction go faster

I have TREZOR and it is cool and simple to use.

Yes, it is possible. But it will take discipline, patient, lot of research and focus to achieve that with $200. If you are lucky to invest in good coin or ICO project can make you lot money within a year or two.
