I'm having fun by learning new things in here by just reading and interacting with people, I'm suprised how helpful people in here. Thanks a lot!
So have you understood how it works, or do you need more advice on the question?
If you've got the right direction, now lock your topic.
In my opinion, instead of busying yourself to think about things like merit, it is much more useful for you to find out many things about how you can use the information and knowledge spread in the forum for your own improvement. Merit is needed, rank up is also needed, but if you want to change your destiny then try to find out many things about bitcoin and how you can own it. In the end finance is the main issue why people want to buy and invest in bitcoin, so don't waste your time.
