Getting Some Merit really boosted my motivation

[Wakate]

Since we are going to be in this forum for a longer time, we don't need to force it or rush things when we want merits. Merit is a big motivation and that alone can inspire the way we write and do things. I can see that op just some few merits and he has not been in the forum for a very longer time so he can still stay calm and continue building his account to a level where merit sources will find his post interesting and give him merits. He has to make good posts so to get merits so he will able to rank up with time. He also has work on his writing ability and the use it full stop to increase post quality.

Even on high ranks we still get a joyful feeling when we received merits. It does means that we are beinf helpful or someone must have like the response or topic that being shared. Receiving merits are one of the best feeling when you are here in forum and I understand what you means since you have a goal to rank by means of merits. It will eventually come anyway, just be motivated always and do your best to contribute in this forum.

That's right, even though I'm at the top rank, I'm still happy when I get more merit. Maybe the feel will be differents with members who are trying to reach the rank of Junior member to Legendary. However, when there is additional merit i get from the posts I made, i'm still happy with that. So, basically, for some member, merit is more than just to rank up. But to show to other member who they are. Well, the character will be different for those who have merit, the most important thing is that we can continue to learn to contribute, that is the main goal in this forum.

This may seem trivial to those who already rank high in the forums. but it really means a lot to beginners. Gaining Some Merits actually can revive dormant Motivation. But still I also realize that just motivation is not enough. but also must be accompanied by an increase in insight. with more diligent reading and so on.
Other beginners must also feel this way, right? I doubt if only I feel this pleasure.

So challenging to get those evasive merits and it can really boost our moral especially when someone appreciate our post then they give merits. It can inspire us to do more better since this could motivate us to get more then rank up.

Other beginners might not feel the same way since other really think that its hard for them to get that then maybe they are just wasting their time for just like this. If they just realize that its so good to get on placed where you work hard for it for sure all the efforts they made to get those merits is really a huge achievements for them.

If you rejoice at getting quick pizza baking merit, then you can conclude that various contests will be motivational topics for you.
For everyone present here, the moment of increasing the rank is interesting since such a tradition has been established here, but choosing exclusively topics for distributions is not a good habit. So try to ignore merit and not expect great recognition from each theme you create. You'll be surprised how much merit will add up once you start being sincere on the forum without expecting any personal gain.

Absolutely! I completely understand your perspective. Gaining merits may seem insignificant to experienced forum members, but for beginners like us, it revitalizes our motivation. However, motivation alone is insufficient; we must actively enhance our knowledge through diligent reading and continuous learning. It's reassuring to know that other beginners share this sentiment too.

I completely agree with you! Gaining merits is crucial for beginners as it revitalizes their motivation. However, motivation alone isn't sufficient; it must be complemented by expanding knowledge through diligent reading and other means. Rest assured, many beginners share this sentiment of finding pleasure in their journey. Let's keep pushing forward and supporting each other on this exciting path!

I will motivate you for the first time, but I would advise you not to write the same thing on every topic. I hope you are a little happier today.

[tranthidung]

The OP received the first merit for that reply.

always work hard, don't forget to continue to improve the quality of your posts, as a beginner I'm doing that right now.
be consistent and not spam so that your btt account name will be lifted up, don't forget to be patient too, because sometimes we have tried our best but haven't gotten what we want, so with that stay patient if one day this comes to you.

Newbies - Stop teaching when you need to learn. The advice makes sense for OP case in the past, before that post and the first earned merit about 2 weeks later.

I mean merits are like commending some members so it supposes to motivate other members like newbies for sure, we give merits to posters that make a constructive and informative posts here in the forum so that they will continue to make more posts like it, this newbie will be the future of this forum so we need a lot of them to continue here in the forum, and giving them merits is one of the best ways that we could motivate them.

It's obviously not easy to be consistent to post in the forum, you need to give a lot of time on it, plus sharing your experience and knowledge is not that easy. Merits is a good system at the same time because reducing spammers and avoid members to rank up they just have a lot of posts on their accounts. It helps a lot in increasing the quality of posts of the users here in the forum.

As a beginner gaining your first merit is really a motivation. I could still remember the feeling when I got my very first merit, I was really stirred up that I could do it, that I need to be active and be making valuable contribution on the forum and look where am I today. You need to read up and be making quality posts and sometimes the merit might not come but you don't have to allow it bother you, you just have to continue making quality contributions by your comments and topics created and soon people will start rewarding you for your effort.

We have all been there. There is joy, excitement, and a motivation to create high-quality posts in order to earn more merits. I remember receiving my first merit, and it felt like a boost to my self-esteem. Before that, I was a bitcoin beginner and would often just listen during conversations about bitcoin, feeling intimidated. The merit I received boosted my confidence in my understanding of bitcoin and motivated me to read more. Now, I may not be an expert yet, but I can make valuable contributions to bitcoin discussions.

[Razmirraz]

Inactive motivation due to wrong Newbie assumptions on the merit system applied in the forum. actually the merit system doesn't kill or make Newbie motivation go out, in my opinion it's quite the opposite.The merit system is not moderated directly in the forum, anyone can give merit to posts that are considered qualified and constructive.
Your understanding of the forum is starting to increase, what you wrote above indicates that you have clear goals in the forum. Keep trying and developing your potential to become an established member with the insights you have during the forum.

[Agbe]

Merit is always a motivator in the forum. But don't focus on the merit acquisition but focus on the learning of bitcoin and it wallets. If you take merit more important than learning bitcoin in the forum then you will miss out many things in the forum. It is through you knowledge in BTC that the required Merits you need will come to you. So all what you have to do right now the knowledge on bitcoin and if possible other Cryptocurrencies in the  ecosystem and blockchain.

Not just for newbies, it's really a good thing to earn for anyone but being obsessed with getting merits is different and I hope you won't chase behind the merits just focus on gaining knowledge from the forum members. Newbies or legendary everyone has same rules so don't put yourself under pressure which may deviate you from what you are supposed to be.

[CryptSafe]

OP, I see your joy in getting merit from your task. You know it gives a  sense of belonging when you see the positive results of your labour   and achievement on this platform as that is the rewards for a well done work. Merits some how motivates one to do more work by contributing to the development of this platform or help to guide newbies to know the way forward here.
As for newbies, to gain merit is what they are eager to do. So in that course, they go extra miles to rendering services within their capacity to achieving their goals. But it is not all about the merit gained but of knowledge acquired in the course of  your stay here. You can not keep gaining merits without gaining more knowledge from the platform on which you have been a member for so long.

Gaining merit is something to be proud of regardless of your rank because it shows that you make a credible contribution to the forum and will drive you to perform more quality posting and contribute to the community.

But still I also realize that just motivation is not enough. but also must be accompanied by an increase in insight. with more diligent reading and so on.

Merits can serve as inspiration to make a forum user feel valuable and motivate them to conduct additional research and share their results in order to contribute higher-quality content.

It's excellent to conduct additional research to produce high-quality forum posts, but it's crucial to avoid copying other people's work from elsewhere simply because you desire to create quality content that will worth merit.

To be honest, this is probably a normal reaction to our achievements in this forum. Moreover, obtaining merit can be said to be not easy and quite tricky. there are many reasons why we still can't get the merit. on the other hand, if someone has received the payment from a truly qualified process, then there will be a statement for him that there are other people who do too. but don't just stop there, the struggle is still too long and there are many things that must be done in order to achieve it to make posts even better and more contributive

Receiving merits will certainly encourage us to improve even more our posting habits so we can achieve high quality posts. And that will only happen if we never stop from making DYOR and be more open to constructive criticisms as that will help us develop the best version of us. But my suggestion is you should not focus only on merit taking, there is a lot more that we can develop within the forum. Respect, camaraderie, and being open to accept new comments in the forum should always matter more than merit taking.

As time goes on it because normal, you'll no longer get excited or motivated when you receive merits. Just wait until it begins to occur regularly then you won't feel anything more since you know you deserve the merits you're getting. You get motivated when you don't receive than often which means you need to work on yourself. I'm not saying you aren't putting in effort in your contribution but when you received something you already know you deserve you won't feel excited as someone who doesn't deserved it but was gifted. Nevertheless I get it that lower ranked users will appreciate it more when they received some merits because they need it for ranking up

Such behavior is normal for those ranks but the higher ranked users can't say the same (especially legendary members) since the merits mightn't mean much to them anymore. Merit was introduced to highlight quality contributions so when you receive merits on your quality decision, you did deserve it so it shouldn't excite you much and when you noticed you're still getting excited then work on yourself more (increase your quality and board awareness) so you can get more merited and the feelings leave your body.

[Accardo]

Getting merits helps because it feels like your effort to get to another rank is moving and progressive. Same is applicable to other websites like, when you get more upvotes on reddit or quara you'll see yourself being more active on the platform. It's good that you're observant of how the merit makes you feel, meaning that you're learning and practicing it the right way in the forum. I'm glad to read legendary members admitting to feel the same way despite being on the last rank. I think it has to do with the Brain. Comparing with social media, accounts with more impression stay active and those with lesser impression tend to quit earlier, than they expected.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, the merit could stand as motivation, but before then, one should be self-motivated first by being productive in the forum; otherwise, I don't believe that even after receiving the first and 10th merits, there could be any improvement. First, for a newbie who doesn't really know more about crypto and the forum, they should first be interested in learning before even having merit, although some newbies get lucky just on their first or second post and receive some merit. I know in my early days here, I still got partially motivated by merit, but yeah, I just had to be on my very best, read quite a lot here, learn from others, and contribute positively. My posting style was not based on merit motivation again, but I feel more satisfied any time I drop what I think is a good opinion (I can't say I don't expect merit on such posts), but most of the time those posts never got merited, but I just got motivated to keep being productive in my comments. That was the reason I said one must be self-motivated first; so that if they don't get the merit coming, they will not run off and abandon their account.

[kamvreto]

All beginners must feel that way, motivated and even more enthusiastic when your comments or threads are appreciated by someone with merit. it proves that it really deserves it.
But it's quite rare that beginners don't get merit because they don't progress. not only beginners, with a legendary rank account can't even get any merit at all, because that will depend on everyone's insight. I also still rarely get it and I admit I don't deepen the topics I comment on. Still need a lot to learn and require broad insight.

You want merit to get motivated and post here. You probably need to learn how the merit system works, begging for merit is not the way of earning merit, you need to make constructive post to get merit from the members. If your post or thread helps anyone or anyone find it interesting then only you get merit. SMerit is not unlimited so members just wont throw their merits here, you have to earn it.
