The people don't hate Muslims, for the most of them don't even know what it is. It is just a built enemy in order to legitimatize invasions and wars against some other people which aren't even Muslims, by the way.
If you point out something and convince the people for it to be the enemy, the worst thing in the face of the earth and then you describe them towards a religion, then the sheep will follow. The people need an enemy. They don't want to see their own rulers as an enemy, so they make another one. And, of course, if you convince a country's population about the idea of a thread, even when it is based on a big lie, or have no arguments, they will see the government as the great protector, and all the military spent as something "necessary"...
So no, people do not hate Muslims, they just have been brainwashed.

Yes, but I just have mentioned how difficult was for many people to achieve a high rank. Let notice I was talking about earning money here in the forum. In order to be able to work here with a good profit, it is usually needed an upstanding rank. In my previous speech, I was meaning how difficult has been for us all to become respectable members, we have been here for years, asking and answering questions and a big etc. Now, there are too many people seeking money instead of knowledge around here. And that's one of the reasons why the merit system had to be implemented. I was answering a person begging for some recognition before even making a research on this forum, being part, making good contributions and so. For, lately, this is the normal situation: people with no interest in the forum itself, but on the possibility of earning a few dollars.
Regarding your question, when the merit system was implemented it would be really unfair to put all members at the same level. You have a point, there are many members which occurs to be shitposted since the beginning, and this is going to be really difficult for them to rank up now (which is what the merit system was seeking). Of course, they are also legendary members with zero quality posts and tons of activity. Of course. But most of them aren't shitposting!!
There are too many respectable members here with tons of information, they are sharing all this knowledge at no cost to anybody, and they deserve each merit of their ranks. My example: I have a limitate number of sMerits  and I love to give away them in order to help and encourage people to make good posts. But I have to earn my own merits too if I want to give smerits to the people. So I try to work harder, much harder than before. To all ranks the merit system means a challenge.

The only thing I ask to those desperate newbies is tfor them to show some respect and to not be so obvious in their only goal: earn money. The forum is much more than a few coins or a place where you can earn a couple of dollars: is a community working on sharing their knowledge freely, and, between this knowledge, there is much information about how to earn some money by using crypto!!! Is not enough?? No. The people prefer to, instead of reading, to beg and beg and beg. They just seem to can't understand this is nor a charity website. If you want your place here, work. If you want to understand crypto, read.
If you just seek for people to give you something free, keep waiting and begging, for this is not going to happen.

I've been looking into your post history with the will of giving you some merit (because you said you made good contributions) and find anything of use. So just improve your contributions, try to make useful posts and to write properly (as much as you can) in English.
The forum is not a place where you can come and beg for something that implies true effort.
What I recommend?? Well, take a look at the most merited posts, and try to understand why are they succeeding and you not. Of course, you will find many merits unfairly given, because they are many farmers around here (cof cof ), but you will also see very remarkable posts from you can learn a lot.
Do not stay just in one section, explore the forum, for God's sake!! There is too much to learn in here, you've been here for a really short time, so just be humble and learn well how this works before coming and asking for rewards you don't deserve at all!!
Looking into your profile this is clear all that you want from this forum is earning money. Well, then you should know this is a really competitive place and you need time and constant effort to become someone in here (years!! like all of us have needed!!).
Before the merit system you needed years to become a legendary member, now it is going to take the same time and more discipline in the quality of your posting activity. Look around you, all of us have been here for years, years of effort, years of learning every day new stuff about the crypto.
Can you just appreciate it?? Our effort?? Our sleepless nights??

Given the big amount of scamming projects surrounding the cryptoworld it has become necessary those kinds of implementations. As far as I've seen, the platforms banning ads are not against the blockchain itself, but against the fraudulent use of it, as a scam, fraudulent ICOs, and not confidable investing sites. To me, this is a necessary evil, and I do not agree with the idea of good ICOs having a problem with that: if you have a confidable project you will not need to say "Ey, free money here!!! " as many spam sites do every day.
Besides, it will help for the people to take seriously the crypto world, for what kind of asset is announced on the internet as a sort of miracle?? None. And if everyone is, for instance, trying to sell dollars with "great profits", it will be treated instantaneously as a scam. So, what's the difference with cryptocoins? Again, none. There is no difference at all. If we want for crypto to be taken seriously our first move is to stop that kind of advertisement because it damages the crypto image.

You can escape from reality.
This is really sad how many people feel depressed nowadays. Many teenagers can only feel important inside a fiction as a video game, where they can be heroes, they can fly, they can rescue the princess and they can stop thinking for a while on the bullying they suffer at school, for instance.
In many ways, the increase of the video games use can be related to the society we are building, tied to a feeling of immanence and pointless style of life. There are not challenges enough for smart people surrounded by stupidity. For instance: a brilliant young man loving maths in a normal high school with glasses and quite fat, probably will feel really alone, for his companion's concerns are related to beauty, social recognition, sports, social media, clothes, shopping... and a big "BLAH". Imagine he's concern about the universe, about the future, about space traveling, he will be called "nerd" and become the focus of many jokes.
Then he can go home and play his video games where he receives points and recognition for resolving problems, for thinking...

¡¡Madres!! No, pues no me extraña, como decía, ni Orwel ni Huxley escribieron manuales y sus libros parece estar siguiéndose al pie de la letra, en lugar de servir de aviso para todo aquello que debemos evitar. Black Mirror le está dando una vuelta de tuerca a lo que sucede ahorita con internet y queda más que claro que, efectivamente, tiene mucha razón en demasiadas cosas.
Lo de China no sólo me sorprende, sino que me parece ya el colmo. No obstante, no es nuevo.
Comentaban por ahí que en US te piden tus cuentas de usuario, esto es cierto, lo he vivido. Cuando cruzas la frontera te pueden exigir que desbloquees tu celular y que les muestres no sólo tus redes sociales, sino también tu historial de navegación. Yo no tengo Facebook y eso me sirvió para pasar un rato muy desagradable en un cuartito porque no se creían que no lo tuviera. ¡¡Como si fuera oblogatorio!!
Acabé discutiendo con un soldado sobre black mirror y recomendándole que la vea. Por suerte no fue más allá, pero créanme que a otros no les fue tan bien como a mí.

Es vergonzoso lo que está sucediendo a nivel internacional, pero más vergonzoso e incomprensible me resulta que la mayoría de la gente entre voluntariamente al juego. Como mencionaban también arriba, muchos de los quizz de Facebook te piden datos personales, así como los de tus contactos. Aquellos que voluntariamente los otorgan por las ganas de que en su muro aparezca que son un  "Orco en el mundo de Tolkien" o mamadas así realmente no tienen interés ninguno en su privacidad.
Una cosa es un gobierno espiando al pueblo y otra muy diferente un pueblo que se espía voluntariamente y le hace el trabajo al gobierno. Algo así no lo hubiera predicho nadie de la posguerra.

Please read the instructions ahead: I specifically said no faucets, trading, bounties, etc, will receive merits, I just ask for people to be creative!! Sorry no merits for the moment, you didn't read the instructions!!!! be creative, mate<!!

Hell yeah!!! They are nice too!! Thanks, mate!

Under the Muslim law, usury is totally forbidden. Some Muslims countries are using that as an excuse in order to forbid the use of bitcoin, based on the possibility of BTC being used as gambling and so. Now, of course, this is just another example of how religion can be used as a way of legitimization of anything, due to the several interpretations a religious book can always have. Of course, in the Coran, there is a specific prohibition about gambling and usury, if I am not mistaken, this is called "haram". Bitcoin, as any currency can be used in too many ways. But, once more, the prohibition based on the interpretation of the religious speech is nothing but a political weapon of control and legitimacy.

It is better if you stay here in the forum for a while before joining a bounty, you will learn a lot and you will be able to choose those bounties suitable for you. Be careful, and choose wisely, just be patient and wait for a while.
There is never such a thing as "too late". But you neither need to be in a rush, so just wait, read, read and read; learn, learn and learn. And then you will be prepared for anything.

Por desgracia sí, como también lo fue Aldous Huxley con "Un mundo Feliz", pero ninguno de los dos libros estaban destinados a convertirse en un manual, caray.
Cuando veo a toda esa gente caminando con el celular en la mano, más pendientes de su cybervida que de la real, a veces se me hace un nudo en el estómago, pero es que no tienen remedio: les encanta ser vistos, les encanta su minuto de gloria al recibir un "like", como si fuera un pequeño trofeo en sus vidas... y ni siquiera se plantean que están vendiendo su privacidad, su libertad y la de sus conocidos a precio de Like.

Totally agree with you. Of course, it depends on the point of view of the affected ones:
- For those who invested on bitcoin when the bubble, for sure this isn't good.
- For the public image of bitcoin, this is regular, for many people still think this is a bubble, the public opinion will need a while until they see bitcoin again as something stable (this point is related to the first one, but in the opposite sense: those who didn't invest on btc when the bubble, are happy 'cause they didn't lose their money but, as I can see in my friends, they don't think about bitcoin as something  stable or safe).
- For those who earn directly in bitcoin this is great, for we get more bitcoin with our salary...
- For the people that truly know how bitcoin works, its story and so, this is good. A bubble does not make any good, and, even when many think bitcoin is too low now, I think this is a good price for the moment.
Many believe this is going to happen another pump, a big one. I can't predict anything, for I'm not a time-traveler, but even when I think bitcoin is never going to be something stable, somehow I believe this is needed if we want it to become mainstream. Nevertheless, it probably won't happen any soon, for this is not the nature of the coin at all.

It has been repeated many times here on the Begginers & Help board, so please, consider that the first step to earning merit is: Read before posting!!!! (sorry for the intensity, but, oh, man, every day we have at least ten new threads related to merits).
Do not despair, friend, as well as you can work on your English skills (something useful to many stuff in your life), you can chill and explore the boards here in the forum with the only goal of understanding how it works.
When you have achieved both pieces of knowledge about the forum and some English skills for you to express yourself freely and more comfortable, you will see immediately the results not only by earning merits here in bitcoin talk, but everywhere else, for you will learn the most important lesson in life: to be patient.

Totally agree. To me, Steemit is a very good option but, unfortunately, I don't have for now enough time. I've learned a lot from steemit, and for the moment I consider it to be a great payment!!!
Jajaja... and regarding your advice on starting my own business, I think we can design a place similar to steemit but based on another idea, I don't know yet, I've just thought about that for a while. Maybe we can create a place based on the idea of the rewards but where the people can make contests, as resolving issues of interest, researching about something... I don't know yet!! any idea!!

Thanks for your collaboration to this thread!!

As a Legendary, I only give my smerits to useful post, even when the use of the language is not perfect, at least they are constructive, informative or helpful.
Obviously, it doesn't matter the rank of those who receive my sMerits ( i don't even pay attention to that but to the quality of the post I rewarded).
You seem to have two big problems: the first of them, you don't even care, you don't give a s**t about how to express yourself in English (neither it is my natural language and to me it is difficult to write in English for a single line can take me minutes... but I try to do my best, always). Your lack of care about the use of the language is just another symptom of your little interest and effort. The second one: you have received merit by doing so, by writing as a child and being pointless. I don't know if it is the result of trading with merits or whatever, but it looks dishonest and more than enough to put you into ignore.

The best way to rank out on the forum (if that is what you were trying to say) is to be patient, to have respect, and to read before posting, all of the qualities you don't seem to have, by the way.
Besides, if you want to post on the English boards, you will need to study the language a bit, so people can understand you.
All of them are possible to achieve, even when your English and attitude is now totally wrong, you can change it by reading carefully the forum and by being quiet for a time while improving your skills.

Hello sir. In order to achieve the Legendary position, you will need to pray each day at 6 to the holy Theymos. After that, take a cow and dress it as a Japanese cow, take a walk with it and then you will achieve the holy goal of earning some f-merits.
Do not despair, my dear companion, for the light is here and we all are holy soldiers in the undertaken of fighting bitcoin heresy.
After the cow goes to sleep, you will need to offer some covfefe to a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, you can make it yourself with some paper, but it has to be holy paper (further instructions: speak to the cow).
In order to get some virtue, you will need to begin every thread with an apology, you can find many examples of the "Beginners &help" board.
If you want to achieve some karma, then you will need to trade your virtue (be aware of scammers, they only accept coins, it is better to offer yourself to the holy moderators, for they accept virgins) -further instructions: ask the cow.
If you want to rank-up faster, the best way is to become a holy soldier and to persecute scammers, you can see many examples on the "Meta" board, here on the forum.
And, finally, never forget to ask the cow. For in she resides Satoshis spirit, and all the answer you seek.
Best wishes, dear companion.
Please notice I've written it with the absolute respect towards your holy person.
Have a really nice day, sir.

Dear Newbie, the holy Theymo's rage is over all the heretic and unpolite users, so Behold! Satoshi's spirit has possessed our moderators in order to bring all us into the light again.
Fear not the new era, for here is the day we all be brought up into the holiness of the cryptosky.

Dear Sir, please notice I am a servant of Jesus and a God Soldier. Politely I'd like to ask about becoming a current inquisition soldier here in the holy forum, in order to persecute heresy. I will be a servant of the rage of God and will pray for Satoshi's blessing all us every morning at 6 (even before taking my holy covfefe).
Thanks, sir,
Please God, Bless all.

Done, Mate, good luck on your thesis, and I insist: when you finish it, please share the work here!!!
