Nope you can't,do well to read the whole original post,the OP would only consider sending merits to newbies who have merit worthy post and over 50 activities,you have neither of the above
In what way exactly,the only wrong use of merit is if it's sold or bought,and neither of the above is happening in here as we all can see

If you do so you're the one who's gonna get banned as the time frame of the both posts would be put into consideration,and considering theirs which you tried to make look similar comes first,yours hence would be tagged as a breach of forum rules and you'll be shown the dishonorable path to our exit doors

Despite the fact that I know nothing about this facebook group you just referred to neither have I had anything to do with it,i wouldn't advise anyone to join it

Not cos I have a personal vendetta against it,but I tend not to trust any crypto group other than this forum,be it on facebook,telegram or any social media platform whatsoever.
All you need you can get in here safe and sound.

It's very nice of you to share such information,to keep others safe from such phshing attempts really,even though I feel if one follows the normal procedures and tries not to be too greedy or to earn the easy way then he or she wouldn't fall prey to this

Always bookmark the websites you use frequently

Exactly the same way you're trying to convince us to give you merits in disguise of being helpful and being concerned with what you claim is merits being used for the wrong purpose
If you have found or come across a case of blatant merit abuse,fell free to post/report such users, but apparently you haven't cos you make this statement with no evidence,not even a link
The forum/moderators have been doing such already,as they get tagged by DT members.

I think mining is far more important as you're portraying it or making it look, miners are very pivotal in this network,and a dearth of miners often leads to a huge drop in the price of the bitcoin.

The more miners shut down their rigs,the less bitcoin is mined and a reduction in the demand of the bitcoins,and an increase in the issue of scalability.

This network definitely cannot do without miners,the more reason we need the price to improve in order to incentivize miners

Nothing is impossible,but this very supposition is impossible,do you actually believe the bitcoin will tank leaving other Alts with their full value,thats not how the system works.
Altcoins follow the bitcoins lead,and a near death of the bitcoin will mean a total death of Altcoins
Without the bitcoin,i doubt there will be a cryptocurrency market

ICO's aren't just a risky venture for beginners,but for absolutely anyone who wishes to invest in such projects,the thing with ICO's is that it isn't yet an established coin and so things could go awry along the way,and it could probably be a scam all along waiting to accrue enough funds and dash off with people's hard earned money

As a result of the high level of scam ICO projects majority of cryptocurrency enthusiast now find it very difficult and are always sceptical about putting their money into any of such projects

Truth be told,there are good and excellent ICO projects,but what are the odds of getting into those

You have to rely on your own knowledge and study,and also have to be patient in learning what you've got to learn,in terms of coins to purchase,how to and when to purchase them etc
In this bearish market it makes trading even more difficult with a dearth of any trading signals that seems to be working or seems to forecast any positives for the future
Choose the coins you'll love to invest in wisely and never ever rely on anothers signals

It's not so bad to be curious though IMO,at least not to the extent of being greedy,you could be curious about a lot of things and that could actually help you learn a lot about it
But once a user on this network is greedy,there is a high probability of getting scammed,as you'll no longer think with common sense,but only keep looking at the supposed larger picture and how much you're to gain
Most scams are obvious,they breathe scam,but only greed can shield ones eyes from seeing them clearly

The thing is,even if your account got hacked which I doubt it was, and the hacker is a plagiarist,if caught your account would still be banned.

And the last time I checked, it takes decades to retrieve a hacked account,i am wondering what magic you used to recover yours  ,with no signed message,no pm to theymos etc

Since theymos hasn't implemented a reason for a ban in the ban message,i doubt he'll yield to this as well,and both matters or suggestions are really of importance and if implemented would save most people's time and at least reduce unnecessary threads.
Most times banned users posts gets bumped up to the front page,such posts could be the plagiarised one or not, and it could get merits,merits that probably could have been handed to a genuine member to rank up,wasted/burned.(another reason why it should be implemented)
I really think this suggestion would be of help in here, and to spot easily those who aren't with us here anymore.

No one gets auto banned for trolls in here, it's against the rules somewhat,but usually no action other than to delete the thread or the reply is taken,if you can refer us to a situation were someone was banned for that then we could discuss about it.

A decentralized forum just wouldn't work, it'll turn this place into a mess in no time,this forum isn't stringent with rules,so I don't see why you're complaining,as long as you don't plagiarise,there is a 90% chance you wouldn't get banned
And you wouldn't get red tagged if you don't sell or buy accounts,not so hard to abide by

If what you claim is true,dont you think it's in your best interest not to disclose such information to the public or the community.
The safest place to sell your bitcoins still remains an exchange,but make sure it's a popular,safe and secure exchange,and since you're scared of being killed ,probably an exchange that doesn't require a user identification will be good for you.
I'll advice you not to trade directly with an individual considering the large amount we're talking about here(if it actually does exist  )

If such individuals on YouTube were that much of an expert,i think they'll keep their strategies to themselves and sell it off for huge amounts of money or put it into practice to make millions for themselves
They mostly make this reviews to gain a certain form of popularity and spread fake rumors with no base whatsoever
It's best never to take them seriously

Trading is not something you simply dive in because you heard Mr A is making huge profits from it, you'll definitely need to learn how to trade effectively and the sort of market situation that suits your form of trade

You've already lost so much in a short time, take a break from trading and try studying how to trade effectively,you can use the forums search button

Your suggestion will simply place so much emphasis on Altcoins, on Bitcointalk forum,doesnt sound so cool to me.
Every Altcoin discussion should remain in the Altcoin board,our main focus on this forum is the bitcoin(discussions),every other thing or coin comes secondary.
You're on a signature,and perhaps this be implemented,youre already disqualified from posting or partaking in the sections you fought for

It's all down to over expectations of this system and it should not be so,based on the fact that the price skyrocketed one time,now people see it as the ultimate part to unreserved wealth..

It's too bad most times they get to learn the very hard way,and hence they tend to lose faith in the network and categorize it as a scam or a ponzi

Bitcoin is not holding on to any price for now, it's actually plummeting to rock bottom,the very reason why I doubt volatility can take effect in this network
We thought during the 4k period that the bitcoin was actually finding a sort of stable/stagnant price but take a good look at what happened..

While some need volatility,others don't and it's all based on our use case of the system,whichever way I'll love to see a steady recovery of the bitcoin,this present price indicates only the worst

Reset your priorities in this bearish market,and try for a second to take your mind off earning huge profits,itll help you ease the tension and the anxiety that comes with this period in the market..

If you bought for 5000 or so, if you sell now you'll be losing about 1800,its so much of a loss, if you hodl on,it could drop further meaning if you sell then you'll lose more than you'll lose now..

But the fact still remains you'll lose,isnt it clear now as its been said a thousand times already that the most rational step to take now is to be patient and hodl,and even purchase more bitcoins now it's a wee bit cheap.
