I am new. I want to know here how I can reach my big place like everyone else. How can I get merit here.
You can but it requires you to do what everyone that reached a big place like you meant did.
How can I get merit here.
By having quality posts, it is not a day work, read what quality posters are posting, research about bitcoin, feel free to post your opinions on other boards too that you like, you will rank up.
What should I do if I want to get merit?
Quality posts, this forum is about telling ourselves the way to safely save and use bitcoin, contributing about this also will help you, check what quality posters are posting.
I have heard that it is possible to earn here.
Yes, by joining signature campaign but try to be a full member to be able to join signature campaign. You can try and visit the altcoins bounty board too if you like social media bounty campaigns, but with you you posted, you want signature campaign.
The last one told me that newcomers are not given merit. Is that right?
It is a lie, but people that are unable to rank up and not smart enough to rank up will give you such complain.
