Selling of merit is not a good idea you should not sell merit to others because its unfair or the one who do their best post that they can just to earn that merit so for me you should not sell merit and the one that who should have this merit is the one who can post a helpful reply to the thread not the one who buys the merit. Even though you want to sell it just to earn you should not sell it.
Thats right, I too think that it is not fair for many people. Ive read some post which mentioned about this problem, and almost all people suppose that its such a bad action in the market, and need to eliminate this act. Do you know why people are much keen on having a large amout of merits which leads to sell and buy merits in btctalk forum?. As I think, the reason why people have trend to buy and sell merits is, many people are prone to appreciate the writings of some who has more merit. As we all know that merit is the prize which is given to some who has a good or high quality writings, thus the more merit one has, the better evaluation he get from other . Most of us tend to keep on eye on the person who has many merits that leads to selling and buying in this forum.
