I was shocked by his reply, he said that here on Bitcointalk that there are two sets of people as the name implies, some people are here to continually do the talking, while some others are here earning Bitcoin. he said that he gave up on his account when he noticed that after spending several months trying to create good post he only got just 10 merits and this discouraged him and made him stop using Bitcointalk. as he said this I laughed out my ass. I didn't know what to tell him at that point, but then I showed him my profile. he was surprised and asked me how I managed to earn that much merit in few months.again I smiled and told him that it wasn't just the merit that drove me, but my ambition to learn and earn from Bitcoin talk. before we departed, he told me that he was going to login into his old account and see if he can earn some merits.
From what you’ve stated here, I could find a third category. The category that you seem to belong to, the one that talks and earn just that, your earnings at the time is more about merits as you see it or maybe your friend sees it.
What I would say regarding these is,
Your efforts gets rewarded when you put it in genuinely. Going fully out in search of merits, you might find some but, it wouldn’t help you very much. You could be a spammer, get them temporal bans and eventually a permanent ban, you wouldn’t get to know even what is been presented before you countless times.
You just have to give some effort to being real and improving yourself.
