Whenever I see a quality post that's worth meriting and if I've some sMerit to throw around I don't hold back because I don't want it to decay.
It’s good way of using the smerits,because it was introduced to avoid of farming of accounts in 2017.As we know 2017 was the year,the bitcoin price had reached the all time high of 19650 in 15 December 2017.This made many people to use of bitcoin as the holding assets and trading like stock.Along with the bitcoin price the forum was reached most of the people during 2017.So the smerits was introduced at that time to avoid of easy rank by the activity alone.After the smerits system was introduced,only the people who had good quality posts alone had a chance to rank up.It’s good one by the forum moderator.
Merit's shouldn't be hoarded because new users might think that getting merit is an impossible task and give up on Bitcointalk completely. Onboarding newbies should be prioritised as crypto needs new money to keep the markets going. Those that have been in the game for a while might be either cashing out their profits, or been liquidated with nothing left to buy!
Would be interesting to see charts of how many daily posts this forum gets as a trend line over the last few years. Increasing popularity or decreasing?
Getting smerits is not an impossible one,if you made a good quality post.The quality post in the sense,the post should be useful to some one.When you had good quality post,many people like suchmoon,El duderino_,LoyceV,The Sceptical Chymist(The Pharmacist),fillippone, Ratimov,Hugeblack, DdmrDdmr are ready to send their smerits to you.
