I've been waiting for something for at least a week now. I figured we'd be closer to the $12k's by this point.

What do I know ?

Paano ba kayo naging beta teters? isa ako sa masugid na taga hanga at active na gumagamit ng coins.ph wallet. Nag rereply din ako palagi  or nag memesage ako sa kanila kung sakali may concern ako, pero bakit wala ako natangap na invitation email regarding sa eth wallet ng coins? anyways sana mailabas na yan soon para naman ma testing din naman kung ayus ba yan gamitin kagay ng sa coinbase at mew. medyo magastos din kase kung sa ibang exchanger kapa bibili ng eth, mabuti na kung sa coins.ph nalang mag trade ng btc to eth tapos send agad sa mew.

It seems that they lend just their own funds, and their clients borrow and trade. If you want to lend there is Finex and Polo (*).

I know mate But we want to see choooc choooo Thats why No patience 

A new BTC lending facility (from $100K up) has been just launched, apparently designed just for that. I guess that the "institutional" enemies of btc will use it liberally.

Yea But what is the reason the presure is quit high to keep the price down

I don't need merits to rank up, but I do need sMerit so I can give merit to other people.
Being a "nice guy", I'm actually getting much less merit than I'm giving away.
I'll sooner or later run out, which is unfortunate, since I tend to reward people who make meaningful contributions to my threads.

In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks. The required scores are:

Rank	Required activity	Required merit
Brand new	0	0
Newbie	1	0
Jr Member	30	0
Member	60	10
Full Member	120	100
Sr. Member	240	250
Hero Member	480	500
Legendary	Random in the range 775-1030	1000

You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. Additionally, when someone sends you merit points, half of those points can be sent by you to other people.

Certain users are designated as "merit sources". They can create new merit out of nothing, up to a limited number per month (which differs per source). I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.

There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
 - Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

Do not beg for merit excessively.

Useful infographics

Forum users have helpfully created some infographics to explain the merit system:
paxmao's infographic
ibminer's infographic
8Habits's infographic
JetSet11's infographic
zentdex's infographic
alia_armelle's infographic

If you want to be a merit source:

 1. Be a somewhat established member.
 2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
 3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.

I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.

Trivia:

For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank. Of that, a certain amount (less than the usual half) is spendable. The spendable amount was calculated based on your current rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.

If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.

There are stats here, and you can find someone's merit summary by clicking the "merit" link on their profile.

I see in one of the local exchanges in my country, so the price decreases not only in bitcoin alone, but also experienced by most other altcoins so moving bitcoin into altcoin is not a pretty good option it will only push the bitcoin price even lower, think before you make a decision, remember the laws of demand and supply.

My friend introduced bitcoin to me but I thought it was just a form of scam because I really had no idea what it is. But when he began earning, that's when I became interested and eventually started it. Now as a newbie, I am educating myself about how it works and how to properly invest.

No, of course not. It is like a person that needs to take a rest before going to start to move again. You just have to learn how to wait for the perfect time.

Indication of it very possible to exist. Limited supply is one the factors. Demand continues to grow, so bitcoin values continue to push up.
