One sure way of getting merits is being active and contributing to activities smartly in this forum. Constructive statements and meaningful ones attract merits. Merits shouldn't be the main goal on this forum and not just hunting for it.
The merit system is okay. This will help filter out the shitposters out there. Bitcointalk is a place to learn and share valuable stuff about the cryptocurrency economy. The mods are doing their best to keep the forum's functionality as many have abused it just to make a living.
In my opinion, I'd invest. Just review a company and put money into it. Specially during its ICO stage. It's for sure that you'll get some profits after it get listed on an exchange.
The first thing I see when I open your site is a bunch of tickers. I find it annoying and the site is quite messy. I suggest changing the layout to a box type style.
Haha. It's good to hear that women use cryptocurrencies too. No doubt that BItcoin will ever have a gender problem. Well anyway, there are women CEOs of some ICOs too!
It's great to hear that Korea is back on track with cryptocurrencies. Majority of daily volume is from Korea and they definitely drive the price up. Most innovations happen there too. This means that it's good progress for the cryptocurrency economy.
