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!!!

Even when it is not a bad idea, I don't agree with you on the point of merits. Recently I have seen too many farmers giving merits to their accounts, even when the publication with merit was a total crap. In order to make your suggestion even more accurate, I would change the part about merit and encourage signatures managers to check out the merit background of their users, as well as their last 20 publications. This is really easy to detect here on the forum merit-farmers if you take a look of their profiles and check out their merit, for they are usually shameless and give merits from an account to another almost every day.
Nevertheless, I find your suggestion truly useful to the forum, and my little modification is focused on the only part I consider to be improvable.

No sé si has visto la serie de Black Mirror. Todos los capítulos son muy buenos pero, en concreto, Facebook me recuerda a aquel en el que vas sumando puntos y, con base en la puntuación obtenida, tienes mejor vida social, acceso a mejores trabajos y un largo, muy largo etcétera. Para mí, en torno a ello gira la imagen de Facebook: renuncias a tu privacidad a cambio de tener una especie de caché en tu cybervida...
Hace años que eiliminé mi cuenta. Nunca la he necesitado, ni para trabajo, ni para nada parecido. Aunque es cierto que no tener Facebook puede provocar desconfianza en algunos de mis clientes (que intuyo gozarían un chingo estar checando mis fotos personales en aras de alimentar su insaciable morbo), prefiero el trato personal y me niego a tener que hacerme una especie de tarjeta online para ser aceptado.
Lo que es un escándalo también es que en muchos aeropuertos y fronteras, como por ejemplo la México-USA ya te exigen que desbloquees tu celular y te checan cada una de tus redes sociales. Estamos llegando a un mundo en el que la renuncia a la privacidad no sólo se hace de manera voluntaria, sino consciente (sólo deberían releer las normas de Facebook, Instagram y esas páginas). A veces pienso en cómo se escandalizaría Orwell al ver una sociedad que voluntariamente se vigila y de ese modo se convierte en cómplice del sistema opresor...

Really fun and interesting place!! I have always been the kind of person always find anything on the internet!!! jeje... so I believe this is going to be really fun to me!!

Those are some good news!!
Firms like Audi thinking seriously about entering into the crypto world can always launch the coin, at least in relation to popularity, which is a great thing!!
Now, to be honest, and, due to Bitcoin recent prices, recent ups and downs, I prefer to stay calm, to observe and to wait, for the market seems to work sometimes in a mysterious way!! Bitcoin is really low today, so I prefer not to deposit hope into the new goods, but stay calm and wait for the market to speak...

It is impossible, at is has been said, to even send a bitcoin you don't have. Maybe by paypal, or another system where you can cancel your transaction, but, even so, you will need to have bitcoin to be able to scam this way.
Now, If you don't have any proof, any source, just do not accuse.
Besides, you seem to have a farmer account and you are shamelessly sending merit to don't deserving posts...

It is a matter of fact: if Germany accepts BTC, other countries of Europe will follow its lead, for it is the economic heart of the whole European Union, they rule the economy of many countries, as Spain, Italy, Greece or Portugal...
So that's a great new. If Germany chooses to trust crypto, many will follow!!!

I've trained Kenjutsu for the last ten years and I've never seen a website where you can design your own weapon!!
As soon as I have enough money I will have one of your swords!! Congratulations on the idea of accepting cryptocurrencies!!
You have just put together my two biggest passions: cryptoworld and katanas!!

Just two questions: Do you use the damasquino technique to build-on your katanas?
Do you have international secure-shipping?? In my country this is difficult to receive international shipping due to the custom duty.

Precisely, as well as you are not falling into an addiction gambling can be a great way to self-knowledge. In my case, before gambling, my self-image was of a person with some tendencies to addiction. But, surprisingly, I'm not!!! Gambling has helped me a lot with managing my time and money, my frustration, my greed, even my patience. It has made me more zen in a lot of senses. I understand this is a rare case, but also happens.

Bitcoin itself was a great idea and was launched freely to the world. Why care about selling it? If bitcoin goes mainstream it will carry serious profits for all us, for we all are into this world now.
I think what bitcoin really needs is people willing to share it for free, to build together a whole system where we all can get profits and where the people can use bitcoin daily. Of course, it is utopic, for, as I've seen here on the forum, the people's only concern nowadays is to earn money, more and more money, instead of helping bitcoin to grow up and become an adult.
Nevertheless, I hope your idea helps many people.

Read well the instructions of the thread!!

Wow, the augmentorsgame seems amazing, I've taken a look and loved it. Thanks!

There are many threads regarding merits on the forum already, but few of them talk about which I consider being the most important point: Do not get obsessed with merits.
For you can write a great thread and it can be lost in between all the topics in here. There are too many people here in the forum, and new threads are wroten each minute. That's because the best move is to relax, to do your best and to not wait for merits everytime you think you have written a great text 'cause maybe it isn't regarded as you hope and you can feel frustrated.
Another advice should be: choose well where to post. If you are always posting in the altcoin section it is going to be difficult to earn merits. I think the best way is to post in many sections, always by reading before posting about the topic in discussion. I think the "press" one is a really good section to post because there is always hot discussion about whatś going on with the crypto world on the press.
Inform yourself. Of course. Before even writing a single word, learn about, read a lot, and think about what is your own opinion, take a minute to build an idea, reflex about the topic... For good topics need a previous meditation.
The last advice: never beg for merits. We all are tired of people begging for merits on the Newbie and the Meta board. Begging is not the way, you all should learn it as soon as possible, for the only think you are going to achieve by begging is to be put on "ignored" by many users.

So, in short, those are my bits of advice. I have many more, but all of them has been told here, so read before posting, read every answer. Read, read, read...

I feel you are entering into panic. And this is the worst mood ever to make any trade. So, my advice: wait, calm, patience.
If you sell now your BTC you will regret it, for sure, so just wait. You are not losing money for having your btc storage while you calm yourself. Forget them for a while, and, once you feel confident, then take a desition, but in a cold mind!

I don't agree with you, media doesn't exist to neither inform, not educate and much less to enlighten societies, but, on the contrary, to control the public opinion. Take a look at the concept of terrorism, for instance. Every time there is an incident media always use the word "terrorism", even when it can be just a crazy man with a gun. Media is always willing to mold the minds of the people into the system shape.
Now, regarding your question, to me, the best way to show people the cryptoworld is just time. With enough time, it will infiltrate itself into society as a weapon, as a tool.   We just need to continue in developing it, we need to push up the technology in order to crypto become useful (daily useful) to the people. In order to achieve that goal, we don't need publicity but proof. If there are some new technology you can use to store and trade with crypto and it is safer and easier than the one we have nowadays, I'm sure the natural path for the people to follow will be to enter into the crypto world.
As I see that, cryptocurrencies are the future, and the publicity makes it looks less serious. Media, as usual, will be at the service of the powerful instead of the people, so I don't really care about what are they talking about, for, on the deep, the people know this is a revolution.
