Newbies or rookies in this forum are in the learning stage with regards to cryptocurrency.
It takes nearly 2 and half months to gain a Member Rank here, don't you think that's enough for Newbies to learn at least something about Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies?
Reading around the forum help me a lot to understand what is going on around here. With newbies including myself, i don't expect them to post the so-called high quality post because they are still learning. I am in favor of this merit system but i don't expect to get merit on my post and i don't complain either because it will not help me.
I'm seriously impressed by your selflessness that you're not interested in merits but learning and making this forum a beautiful place by contributing in a much better way than others. I'm not telling anyone to write something super-spectacular in order to receive merits, even NORMAL DISCUSSIONS can get you some, but discussing something that's needed, something that's expected at that place is what we want you to do. I'm not even asking you to make those healthy huge paragraphs when you can make a precis of the same and tell everything in short, but meaningful. Whether you expect or not, if you deserve a "LIKE" for your post, you will get it for sure. Merits are just like "LIKES" to those posts that people believe - have given some contribution to the debate.
