Well, what the OP said was true but creating a thread like this for me and for others is another way to get some merits or worse another way to buy merits.
I got 45 merits out of nowhere and I get it without cheating or PM'ing anybody to give to me. Just post and post and never mind the Merits. What is important here is knowledge and not merits. Now I'm curious. Which is more important for most users here. Merit or Knowledge.
the only real thing i like MERIT for, is to send some out when i like a post/appreciate someone... doesn't always need to be with the greatest knowledge, but when someone posts for the right reasons or with some good humor, i think it deserves merit as well, as long if it isn't someone trolling, or entering the thread for wrong reasons
we cannot all be tech experts and have high knowledge about the matter... but that doesn't mean one cannot deserve or be able to get some merit.
i know for myself i'm a long term hodler, big time
BTC believer, stack increasing guy on my own ways, absolute not the most technical guy, but i do like being on the forum, especially WO thread..... and i just know i'm in here with good intention, and just think that could be worth merit as well.
