You don't have to rush yourself into a wrong assumption on that. That posts don't get merited doesn't mean they aren't constructive enough. It's simply can be any of these – that those who are likely to find them meaningful and helpful may not have come across them or that they actually have come across them but lack merit to splash or them or they actually have merit to splash but forgot to do the needful after reading. For me, I've continued to maintain that even meriting posts  is a subjective thing. What Mr A thinks is a good post may seem a bad post to Mr B.

Concerning whether to comment on threads where high ranked users post, I think you've received enough advice encouraging you not to be scared posting there. I need say no more on that.

Yeah, you can say that again. I'm one of those who expect the same circle to repeat itself and then something huge to come out of it. I know if this circle works out as predicted and enormous ROI is achieved, the next halving will have so many enthusiasts on the queue waiting to take their shots by investing heavily.

For the coming months, those who already haven't taken positions and bought their favourite coins will be the losers for it. Anyone who's still waiting for a dump so they can get in may end up chasing the bus. Don't wait for a perfect entry. There's nothing as such. We only get to find out of perfect entry long after price has left the region.

Your rank is newbie with just a single post here but I don't know if you're a true novice in this industry or not. The reason I asked is because there are investment suggestions that can better suit a noob investor than an experienced or intermediate one. If you're new to this industry and know next to nothing, I will suggest you stick to Bitcoin investment. On the other hand, if you've been investing before now I suggest you look into BRC20 tokens. There's speculation that they will be a thing this bull run, owing to what price level we expect of Bitcoin. There's strong expectation that money will flow into them. Already, certain exchanges are experimenting with them. To get these tokens, check Coingecko. Check for ones with small supply that have low marketcap. You never can tell, you may get lucky. However, remember, this isn't a financial advice. Do Your Own Research (DYOR).

Yeah, we all know that feeling of ranking up. You've done what's within your powers to do and that's being active, posting. Activity upgrade depends on the forum bot and there's nothing you can do than wait it out. It's better what's holding you isn't merit count, otherwise you will understand the true meaning of patience 😏. Now, relax. Two weeks is just around the corner. Congrats in advance!

Hehehehehe... 😂

You should've been here pre-2020 to observe what abusive comments were during the days of Lauda and other supremos. As a newbie you would've felt unworthy with any acerbic response of those ilks on your posts. It wasn't funny. What we've now is mild use of language when compared to that era. Their acerbic responses weren't unleashed on newbies alone. You could see such mudslinging among the legendary users too. Again, rude behaviour knows no class, age, clan etc. It cuts across. It's not a legendary thing alone that people here decide to be overtly imposing in their interactions with others. The only reason newbies don't display such supposed rudeness is because they fear high ranked members might gang up against them. They wait until they rank up to retaliate and the circle continues.

You've a strong point there!

The thing with Memes is that there's always that element of not knowing when it will cast and disappear with the wind. Otherwise, memes are a sure way of flipping small capital. The $11.8 investment in Shib that turned millions is achievable but that will be with those who got in early and refused to sell off too early. I'm not sure there are those who kept that long, except they momentarily forgot they once bought and then had to quickly rush to sell off.

In 2021 when memes got on the trend, there was a memetoken (Moonrat or Safemoon, I can't remember again) that I invested less than $100 that turned >$5,000 but greed set in and I was hoping it would hit at least $10k. But of course, we know how these things end. I lost a better part of that profit before I sold off in regret and moved on. I learned a valuable lesson from that.

Frankly, we aren't safe anymore. We invented stuff that are beginning to scare us now. All these appliances and gadgets are something else. The little we think we've done on the internet is even the much we've got ourselves exposed. That's why I smile whenever I come across didactic posts on data privacy and how not to use one's data online. Those who say that are quick to forget that they've some of those data of theirs with their banks, licensing offices, work places, just name them. If we've exposed our data in such places, what makes us think they can't be compromised or sold to the dark web? This is really scary.

If you, indeed, admitted that you made some gains trading those memes; then you could still have made a fortune out of them if you had increased your capital in them. Ask those you think made life-changing fortune from such investments and you will be shocked the jaw dropping capital they risked on such aggressive investments. Yes, any investment in memes is high risk and should be marked as sushi. It's either you profit from it or you're consumed byb others. I believe anyone going into meme investments should be armed with this warning.

That approach will be his fastest way of destroying X. Already, so many people are angered by what X has become with its administration allowing scammers run amok there. It's getting scarier each passing day. It's advisable not to follow any comment apart from first (main) tweets made by any project you're following. Using any details from the comments section, in most cases, gets one on a phisher handle. Anyone can crosscheck this and you will discover what I'm saying. Gosh!

It's because he has swallowed his tongue. He can't speak against what he's indirectly/directly enabling.

You just nailed it there!

Let the lack of merit on your posts not dissuade you from enjoying your stay here. Just remain focused and at its due time the merit will pour in. Merit shouldn't be the focus here. It wasn't even a thing until in 2018 when it was introduced. Let the free learning you get here be the enticer for you to keep visiting. You will be the better for it on the long run if you remain active here.

Let none of your friends or anyone harass you about your finances. People are fond of doing that even when it's obvious that those who are trying to help them are better off than they're. They will still ask that question about what one has gained financially getting into an online stuff. I encountered that too while starting out in this industry. I did a lot of explanation. This day, I don't even bother with a response.

Well, that will depend on the type of danger you're referring to there. As youngsters we were told that when we dilly-dallied on things, they could've dire consequences. As an adult, I've grown knowing that to be true. Exercising patience or being patient doesn't cut across all walks of life. There are areas where that will become a disadvantage. It's just like telling someone that one's a risk taker. Yes, it's good to be a risk taker but there are certain risks that will seem tomfoolery when taken. That also has to be put in context like the patience thing.

But of course, OP isn't saying the truth. Possibly they're referring to a different project that isn't the Notcoin (tapper app mining stuff) you're referring to as that one hasn't been distributed yet. I'm also familiar with this "tap to earn" app. I guess OP just wants referrals, nothing more. Otherwise, there's no way they can give out what hasn't been distributed except OP wants to tell us they're a part of the team or they own the project. I urge people here to be careful clicking on links.

SAVM surprised many (including me) with its price spike within a short period of its listing. It's back to around its original listing price now. Before now, there were several X (Twitter) handles that imitated its original handle. I first heard of this token in one of the telegram groups I belong and the hype was something else. BTW, I don't know why scammers are populating X this day since the Yellow and Blue ticks became a thing. Is Elon Musk simply not interested in checkmating the activities of scammers but only concerns himself with what revenue he gets from the ticks? He seems to be allowing scammers run free on the bird app and this has to stop.

I'm not talking of the supposed scam of SAVM, I'm all about the general scam that happens and is allowed to go on with fake X accounts coming up and imitating original and genuine projects. Taking those accounts down and banning them seems to be delayed by X administration since Elon bought it over. Unlike what speed that was done in the past. Has anyone observed that too?

It doesn't seem likely that BestChange wants to move out of Bitcoin payment. At least, that's what I was given to understand the last time this issue was raised. However, bi-weekly payment in Bitcoin can suffice at this time.

Again, for anyone suggesting monthly payment; kindly remember the fluctuations in price that's inevitable.

There are more revealing materials and reassuring insights now than there were eight years ago. Yes, newbies will panic because of the ongoing dip; especially after the ETF was approved but price doesn't seem to be rallying up. Some of us understand this game whales play around such expectations of price increase after a positive development in favour of Bitcoin. They dump to rebuy. No one should panic. It's just momentary. If anything, this should afford investors an opportunity to get more of their favourite coins that have taken a beating.

Campaign managers who rely on long posts to pick campaign participants are like managers who look at earned merit of users in making their picks. If someone writes a long (and expectedly, boring) post on page one, there's a chance that it gets read unlike when that same post is on page 10 or on a mega thread. These are some of the little things that should mean something. Most times, these lengthy posts don't make much sense like the two-three liners and they get passed over more. What's the essence of making posts others don't bother to read?

It's my first time reading about ORCA. I looked it up upon stumbling on it here. However, I don't think I will be interested using it though it's marked a Dex. I'm skeptical using any exchange that doesn't display a Trust Score. ORCA isn't rated and there's no trust score for it on the site. That's a turn off for me already.

OKX seems to be the new kid (sensation) on the block. Some of those mine-to-earn app projects are listing there. Avive listed there in December. A few days ago, Ice also did. Though there's an ongoing issue between Ice and OKX on the ground of how Ice trading was conducted there first day. Kucoin is a copy of Binance. Apart from the difference in font colour and all that, one would think both are the same platform.

Grayscale, likely will have a game plan of buying back the dip. It can't be that shortsighted not to buy back, seeing and knowing that we're about entering the moment everyone is waiting for – the bull season. Those I pity are the panic sellers who're selling off because they find price dipping and may not know why it's so. Some of them might've been hodling since last year but are now afraid to keep hodling. Just like you too, I'm too uninterested shorting it. I don't want to risk it.

I think it's a wrong advice, coming from him. It casts a shadow of fear on traders who trade using leverage. 2x isn't that high if one knew what one's doing, trading. It's very infinitesimal. Instead of trading on <2x while not completely go off it and do Spot trading. People don't become rich or make a sustainable earning from trading using that. Fear kills the morale of traders the same way greed does. Every traders should know how to kill both. For me, 5X till 10X is ok. Otherwise, the trader should stick to Spot trading.

In addition to what others have posted here, I think you will do better in understanding and unravelling your little confusion of the forum if you located your local board. As someone who isn't a native speaker of the English language, that will surely help.

To be frank, I think this forum isn't that difficult to navigate compared to other crypto fora I've visited. The major issue here is that there's so much information and topics springing up and screaming in our faces on a daily and we think we're compelled to process all. That's in addition to not knowing the right board to start  topics. The last one was my greatest confusion as a noob. Even till date I still find high ranked users get confused around that too and that's where they ask moderators to move to appropriate boards.
