This platform is really good for gaining knowledge and earning money, before we earn money in this platform we should have first rank level, which requires our merit and activity.

I have read a lot of threads about getting merits, I want to list down the sections that mostly give merit to us.
1. Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Trading Discussion > Reputation
2. Bitcoin Forum > Other > Meta
3. Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Services
4. Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Development & Technical Discussion   
5. Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Gambling

Those listed above are not in the particular order, that is only my analyzation based on what I have read about gaining knowledge. At first I think that the section that mostly gives merit is the Bitcoin discussion because there are a lot of active persons on that section but it all changed when I read some threads about getting merit.

I hope that this post will help you for getting a lot of merits.
