WHY?
First ill like to congratulate every one of us to have made it through the year 2020 to the current year 2021. I’m sure the resent year was an adventure like no other which made significant impacts on most of our life’s either towards the positive direction or the negativity that came with over whelmed all its positive vibes. Even then, we’ve got to understand that an imbalance in one end is a direct compensation for the other, as you tend to loose, someone else has got something to gain. On this note, I’m officially wishing every one of us
A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 and hope for the best in times to come within this year.
I specifically chose a degrading question format topic title to make emphasis on the setbacks that most beginners express as I noticed it towards the end of last year. These are common to most persons at some point, at least for as time it was common to me until I picked up the pace for a change and now, I merry with every step on the way. Though, my merry is yet to get to its peak the much I’m settled with is already looking like enough. There are a lot that can be achieved when you choose to do the work you can do today on your attitude towards learning and getting involved so, I ask again,
why the lazy attitude?
This topic was born out of the many complaints on meriting, a firsthand merit give away thread of my own and that of
Pmalek came up with unlikely similarities. Complaints from beginners on the merit redistribution have been a common thing on the minds of beginners as expressed in some of their threads and comments and yet only a few seems to be hitting the target on how merits are actually attracted. It would be of note to know that merits are given based on individual perspective and criteria of what a quality or merit deserving post is and to take into consideration not to merit just any post as this activity is reflected on the
BPIP and could be a depleting factor for such user.
I created a merit give away thread
Congratulations to me as a full member [Merit Thread] in my bid to help remedy the many complaints even with as low as 15smerits and was worried of it not to be enough but still went ahead creating the thread anyway to help beginners lacking merits and troubled with ranking up but to my surprise, only 2 users got merited due to low response on the low quality post the rest few applicants applied with. Similar response did I observed in a merit give away thread by
Pmalek of which I expressed concern (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5085605.msg55865864#msg55865864) when I noticed the user having to bump his or her thread to be noticed and yet with only a few responses still. It's very discouraging such an attitude and it by far goes ahead to describe the type of beginners we had in bitcointalk late last year 2020 and I use the word had because I believe the last year has ended such attitude in our new borns. Only beginners who aren’t willing to learn or participate in discussions would complain much as their zeal to earn encompasses the core value of the forum which is learning and sharing ideas. So I ask again,
WHY THE LAZY ATTITUDE? Is it,
The fear of saying the wrong thing and be banned?
The phobia of having your deleted posts due to spamming?
The fear of plagiarizing some article or posts?
The feeling that the cryptosphere is just too difficult to fully comprehend?
The feeling that the rules aren’t favorable or against you?
The feeling that merits are being hoarded by ranked up users and redistributed amongst them?
The feeling that ranked up users likes you to be at the bottom of the food chain?…………. It goes on and on so, I’m going to hold it right there but, I’ll like you to realize that none of these things answers why you are stock where you are now. You’ve got to realize that you hold the power to your own success in the cryptosphere. It’s a measure of how much you know and how well you know it.
Until gold is tested through fire, it can’t shine and as such isn’t much appreciated as we do this day. If you don’t do the work today, you’ll remain stock where you are now, same place you’ve been yesterday, the day after that and every other day that precedes the day you chose to do the work of today. Get involved, you remain unrecognized and underappreciated until you do the work of today.
Do Something Now…
Happy New Year
