What I just know is that some of those topics could be lies, we should have a way to verify that what the OPs are saying is true. It may not be lies but we should have evidence that it is true.

You created a thread about your 2022 work and you locked it: BlackBoss_ Works. What if other people too started to create their 2022 topics, is it going to be fine?

If you do not want things like that, why are you not following yourself as an example.

[avp2306]

All post seems identical you show something to relate it to bitcoin then post.

And some write a note then tell it was for bitcoin education.

Maybe this is their way to get some merit and many got baited.

I do hope all of those thread are legitimate not done only for one day just to have topic to post and get  merit.

Do you have something against Agbe? I see you listed his thread multiple times here that had nothing to do with the subject of the topic, why is that?. Beside if there was to be a thread for this purpose it shouldn't be in the reputation section as it has nothing to do with this board. Maybe off topic or Bitcoin discussion as it is initially there without getting moved or deleted by moderators. Also I think this are all different topic and make no sense to put them all in one thread, it'll just congest the whole thread and it'll be hard for people to pass information or give correction to the OP when necessary especially those that had to do with teaching of Bitcoin to others.

While this whole practice only give me one idea (merit hurting) it seems they succeeded as I see lots of merits on their thread and maybe that's what is driving up the interest in this type of threads on the Bitcoin discussion board. You know people love seeing positive things towards the adoption of Bitcoin no matter how small. We can only hope they're all legitimate.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Many topic .......I am very smart! I collect links everywhere!

Do you honestly believe that someone will look through your directory to see how and who received their first bitcoin or uses it as a payment method?IMHO, but I'm interested in reading this at a time when it's relevant. Someone opened their own salon, someone teaches the basics of bitcoin in the church, and someone else added bonuses for going to the salon. It's all interesting once, so I don't think it needs to be cataloged. Unless someone does not understand, how are such subjects created? Let people grow, at least even using fantasy; they should do something on their own and not rewrite others' links, implying orderliness on the forum. The same fishing merits. Just don't interfere with each other.

I agree with you, @_act_, that all these "helpful" links look very fake.

[SatoPrincess]

OP how’s this a problem? Twelve topics in one year is a small number in my opinion. As long as they are not asking for money or trying to scam I think it’s fine. Some of the topics you referenced gave me the momentum to add bitcoin payments in my business. I don’t think they should be in your thread. It’s not the same as “a new rank thread”, I think your so called educational memes is worthless than any of the topics you referenced in OP. So much for keeping the forum clean. Word of advice, focus on yourself and you will grow.

[Zaguru12]

We can all agree that most of these threads are for merit fishing but do know why merits are still been spread on them by mostly experienced members? It’s simply because of the effort put into it. If we are to come to conclusion that all are for merit fishing then me might miss the opportunity of appreciating genuine or legitimate ones. So without evidence we shouldn’t point fingers towards anyone.
As for people who disguise for just merit i will just advise them to have a chill there are other means to get it.

[Mr.right85]

What I just know is that some of those topics could be lies, we should have a way to verify that what the OPs are saying is true. It may not be lies but we should have evidence that it is true.

On this, I would agree!

It's a bitcoin forum and threads like that just fits hence, it tends to find the soft spot to the many that wants crypto to be the new order. Certainly we all want to but, these seems like the new means to fish for them 'm'. I just don't want to mention it as its just been said one-two many times.

I do hope they are getting patronage though and actually balancing up there crypto and fiat accounts. Keeping track of them profit and lose, expense on fees, stationeries and other petty stuff.

Having them all them threads here don't seem like a bad idea.

[DiMarxist]

Everyone has his or her own opinion on issues

Mr man (BlackBoss_), I am making this comment here because my post is also mentioned in your list to be inserted in your so call thread. In these days I have been on tour to navigate the forum to read more. So I have been readind threads. I have also seen your comments and threads. One thing I discovered from your writing is that you are not here to know more on bitcoin but to make eye service...you want people to notice your present at all time, you have not made any educative phrase.. And you are making mistakes that can be avoided if really your are reading and making research before posting

Did you read this before asking fillippone to review your post?

Also even this your thread Announce your first Bitcoin purchase, Bitcoin acceptance for your business here is a copycat in which you  paraphrase the topic from Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!.

If those Threads you mentioned (listed) are to be inserted in any thread, it is this 👇 and not yours Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great! and not in this Announce your first Bitcoin purchase, Bitcoin acceptance for your business here. I will advise you to lock and archive this thread because there an already existing thread on your idea, if really you were reading, you wouldn't create this thread, but you deliberately ignore the search button to copycat (double) create threads for attention. Please build your house well before outside.

Even your topic is contradicting your content. OP your topic or subject has nothing to do with your content.

Archive this thread because it is a paraphrasing of BitcoinGirl.Club thread.

I think @OP can make 3 different threads on his stated topics.

1. Entrepreneur/Business adoption
2. Bitcoin education
3. Bitcoin transactions

These I think are the major categories of topic  list stated by @OP so that the thread won't be saturated and readers will be able to see progress of each category.

While this whole practice only give me one idea (merit hurting) it seems they succeeded as I see lots of merits on their thread and maybe that's what is driving up the interest in this type of threads on the Bitcoin discussion board. You know people love seeing positive things towards the adoption of Bitcoin no matter how small. We can only hope they're all legitimate.

Well, there is no other way to earn merit but to post so every post is subject to merit hunting    But honestly I do not mind giving merit when it is due even if the purpose of creating the thread is to farm merit (which I think is likely the case).

[Zlantann]

We can all agree that most of these threads are for merit fishing but do know why merits are still been spread on them by mostly experienced members? It’s simply because of the effort put into it. If we are to come to conclusion that all are for merit fishing then me might miss the opportunity of appreciating genuine or legitimate ones. So without evidence we shouldn’t point fingers towards anyone.
As for people who disguise for just merit i will just advise them to have a chill there are other means to get it.

Ascertaining the intentions of the OPs of these threads might be difficult because none of them would ever accept that their sole aim is to get merit. I cannot also conclude because they would give you many genuine reasons why they started the thread. But one striking benefit I have seen from this thread is that they offer some basic guidelines or lessons about Bitcoin. Most times the OP of some of these threads seek advice from the community about a better way of using Bitcoin personally and in their business, while others on how to teach or create Bitcoin awareness better in their area. And we have seen some members giving uncommon Ideas that have even helped me personally.

My humble advice is that if you suspect that any thread is for merit hunting or fishing, don't give any merit. If these merit fishers realize that their baits are getting nothing, they would stop. We shouldn't discourage people with genuine intentions from sharing their stories and getting relevant advice or information.

[drwhobox]

You have done a very good job collecting those links and threads. But you have made your own board here for people to come and post their threads but don't we already have boards for posting these activities?

I don't have the energy to check all the threads you have listed here but I have opened the first five links to check the details. Two of these five threads are from 2023, and the pizza one from legendary laszo is from 2010, one is from 2012 and one is from 2022. My point is why you have to choose threads and create another topic with all this randomly. While we can see them on the board already.

I can tell, you have an obsession with creating lists mate.

[Falconer]

Well, there is no other way to earn merit but to post so every post is subject to merit hunting    But honestly I do not mind giving merit when it is due even if the purpose of creating the thread is to farm merit (which I think is likely the case).

They just need to post and post whatever the purpose is, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't break the rules. My consideration is that every user has the right to speak, but if it is an attempt to get merit or fishing for merit then of course it will be difficult for other users to get it. Making it up or really low effort might come across easily, so it's okay if they don't get support.

I just try to stay positive in any effort they have, sometimes it's true but they can't convey it well because of the limitations.

[tjtonmoy]

You can visit my posts here
1. Re: I started business many days ago. Now it's time to accept Crypto as a payment.
2. Re: It's been 2 months and now I am doing well.(I guess).

I have included every details on these posts, and you can go and check them out. Business is going well, but the crypto payments are very less now. Almost to zero. So I will update the forum after some time of observation.

[Raflesia]

What I just know is that some of those topics could be lies, we should have a way to verify that what the OPs are saying is true. It may not be lies but we should have evidence that it is true.

You created a thread about your 2022 work and you locked it: BlackBoss_ Works. What if other people too started to create their 2022 topics, is it going to be fine?

If you do not want things like that, why are you not following yourself as an example.

I don't mean to doubt, but I really agree with what you said because with the many threads included by the OP, I actually don't really believe in some of the stories that are shared, especially since the patterns that are actually carried out are almost the same and in the same area, so I doubt this, even though this is true just my personal.
But as long as someone does prove that it's true I don't think that's too much of a problem with that and think they're cool for daring to innovate further with bitcoin.

I don't have reasons to believe or disbelieve in those threads. It can be patterns to find merit or it is a pattern to help Bitcoin education and adoption. Only posters who created those threads can know what they do.

I believe many people did educational classes and meetings about Bitcoin in their communities or bought, sold their first bitcoin but they did not share their stories. They have reasons to not share it and they have reasons to share it too.

January to February, I got some more topics.

[BlackBoss_]

Topic is reorganized and I really hope that people will bring their announcements here.

They can announce their first buying, first selling, first salary in BTC, educational class/ seminar/ short meeting / podcast, first buying something with BTC, first selling something to buy BTC, business accepted BTC, first BTC received from customer for their business, charity, help someone to buy, sell, trade first BTC ...

Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great! is for ranking up announcements and people joined it happily.

This topic is for BTC adoption worldwide.

I am shocked when I see this Invest in Bitcoin by selling wife's jewelry

I hope none of you have same plan to do this. It can destroy your life especially if you don't have a consensus of your lover (wife or husband) before you sell his or her jewelries or precious assets.

I would like to work and use my salary to invest in something that can be anything I feel good with potential to help me gaining profit. It can be Bitcoin, real estate, stock but I want to pick a safer plan.

The Bitcoin family say they lost $1M in value this year. It's hard to reach a consensus between wife and husband and more important that consensus can affect your children too.
