Don't ruin the reputation of a campaign manager without knowing anything about his work and legitimacy in paying. Go through the campaign spreadsheet that he manage, you'll come to know what his capability and how he has been serving the community with legitimacy. If he provides nothing how could large number of users join his campaign. I can assure that each and every participant will receive their respective tokens, there might be a small delay which is a common fact. Because the development team needs to consider lot many factors before issuing their token, so that it won't get dumped in value.

As in the thread, there are lot of people who invest into bitcoin just on the expectation to make a bigger profit. In reality it is good to analyze and know about it and invest. I have known to some extent about bitcoin and if I were unaware I would have never invested into it, other than getting suggestions from a trusted person.

Thanks for all the responses and providing me with the clarification.

None could have thought that waves will grow to such a extent. Waves is all about the uniqueness in the platform available for the development. Recently had a conversation with one of my friend when the price was at the peak. By the time of waves into the cryptocurrency market we knew about it. But we didn't made an investment, if it's been made now this could have gained the best profit than many other assets.

What I've asked about is the distribution of merits to different users. Because if we make large number of posts in a short time period  we'll be termed as burst poster and will be blacklisted. In such a manner, is there any such obstacle on sending merits in a short time to different users.

The merit system is making a big change in the entire forum activities. Along with that it is hard to give merits finding good quality posts. For this reason I've planned to go through each and every section of the forum and merit to qualified posts. In this regard is there any limitations in spending of merits for a day or any time gap to send merits. Because we have time gap for each ranked member to make posts, before that we cannot make posts.

People has got a better learning from the price crash. This has made majority of the users to realize the goodness of holding. Newbies too could have learned the real growth and the fluctuating nature of bitcoin. Because, people come forward making big money just on investing without knowing the risk of losing money. Rather than a crash, I believe that the bull run has begun.

Most of the users who made their investment by the end days of December will be experiencing a massive loss. This is possible to be gained only when the market grows, as a part now the market has been growing slowly. On the whole holding is the only way, else need to involve into continued buying and selling making use of the small marginal growth.

It is one among the largest cryptocurrency exchange. Prior to the closure for scheduled maintenance it gave a clear message stating that the server is down and people were working on it. And recently an update has been given to users stating that users will be provided 30 minutes to close the trades for the maintenance purpose which will go live once after maintenance.

In the history of bitcoin it is clear that, after every crash the price has recovered after certain time interval. Among several price crashes, once it has took time of more than a year to reach the price from which it started to fall. In other cases, the price recovery has taken place with weeks and maximum within months.

It is clear that merit is not for sale. It is just an systematic procedure to make yourself highly valued from other users. As Op mentioned you need not pay something, just make yourself knowledgeable about the cryptocurrencies and the way of expressing will get the best merit points.

Merit system is making a big change around the forum. Users have started to try as much possible to give quality posts. This will probably give good support to the growth of bitcoin as well without spreading of FUD. Because before the merit system into existence people just make posts speculating about the market even without any sort of analysis. Now will at least try to study more about the market.

Can't predict the reality, it is all about the time period. We might end up same as that we were during the starting days of 2017. Else, this could be a massive correction phase for the price that grew much higher rising the capital to a much higher value. Even by this time experts has predicted it'll bump to $50k once after the ongoing price dip.

India contributes around 10% of the entire bitcoin transactions happening through the network. This time the regulation from Indian government has lead to the drop in value of bitcoin. That too, it has lead to a drastic 5% drop in the market capital of the  bitcoin into circulation.

Agreed, we're truly the early adopters. Why to worry when we have the benefits to be acquired in the future. Maybe the time we predicted has got rescheduled or postponed. In reality we're the second set of early adopters next to the people who adopted bitcoin when the price was less than 100$.

Merit seems working same as that has been generated for, with all the efforts from the users to give quality contents it is clear. As the user can't rank up until he doesn't reach the required merit. This is the thing that has made the merit system work as it is intended. If it is same as the trust rate, none could gave given consideration to it.

As mentioned each and every altcoins were crashing along with the fall in price of bitcoin. This has been a big problem with each and every user who has been holding with the expectation to gain profit. While going through the coinmarketcap I find majority of the altcoins increase in value when bitcoin increases.

What Op has stated as the last point adds value to the entire merit system that has come to effect with the hard effort of theymos. Merit system will ensure obedience among the users allowing them to improve the quality of posts. The merit one gains will make them stand away from common posters. Everything has got loophole, so making it functional with cent percent effective need to be prioritized.

It doesn't mean a funniest thing, but it gives me pride when I think of those incidents. When I was new to the cryptocurrency network I don't know much about it. Still I used to explain what I know to my friends. By those time, they used to make fun of me indicating the virtual presence and not having the physical state as that of our real money. Now they realized the value of the same.

As mentioned bitcoin is all about the success of the decentralized functioning. If it get into the hands of government or becomes a centralized system surely bitcoin will start getting functional as normal trading asset same as that of the stock market.
