Newcomers not only motivated how to rank up, but they should also learn first how forum works and the next blockchain technology especially in Bitcoin.
If you've learned all of these, merit isn't a barrier for you to rank up and it will unknowingly come to you.
Thought of the day: It's not all about merits on the forum.
I tend to agree with this, the forum isn't about merit, sometimes we figure out how useful to us that forum sharpens our mind to be knowledgeable in crypto.
I can definitely agree with this.
This forum is a community of crypto enthusiasts, a place for free discussion, seeking answers to various questions, presenting new crypto projects etc.
On this forum you can meet people from your local communities, and even meet in person, which was also my personal experience, one of the best in my life.
I think that for new members, the main motivation for registering on this forum should be to learn something, meet members of their local crypto community, and with more knowledge and experience later participate in some paid crypto projects on this forum.
Unfortunately, I am aware that for most new members this is not a motivation and I don't think there is much we can do to change that.
