But why? As much as ICOs try to make you believe it, cryptography and blockchain is not a magical solution for anything. In fact, it's the other way around: anything that can be done without a blockchain, should be done without a blockchain!

I wish we could slap this piece of sense in to 99% of ICO and altcoin developers/investors/blindly-throwing-their-money-away-idiots. Just look at some of the nonsense you can find on here: https://www.icoalert.com. Blockchain for Dentists! Blockchain for Uber! Blockchain for Wikis! Blockchain for Fantasy Football! Utter nonsense.

What the fuck is the internet?

If we are making merit a crypto, I would like to volunteer to organise a coin burn to make merit even more valuable. Send all your excess merits to me, and I'll make sure they are burned. Here's a (/s) just in case anyone honestly thought I was being serious.

You want a serious answer though? If you make merit a crypto, people can buy it, and it therefore defeats the purpose of merit. The end.

If someday merit become a crypto, the bitcointalk forum will be abundant with tons of shits (one more time, almost the same as before merit system launched and even worse).
As you said, merit crypto will defeat the original objectives of merit system, which launched by Theymos to keep spammers stucked at lower ranks.
It is a terrible scenario if merit is a crypto.
