Having said all that, I don't disagree with some of the points you are making. There is far too much spam in the altcoin sections, and probably not enough merit circulates there either. Looking through your post history, you are not a shit poster, and so I've given you some merit. The reality is that this is a bitcoin forum, and the majority of senior and knowledgeable users (and therefore the users with the most merit to distribute) spend most of their time in the bitcoin boards. I, for example, have zero interest in discussing alts whatsoever, since the majority of them are outright scams.
Thanks. And I feel kinda stupid for giving that guy 1 merit but it seemed like a good post and he "shilled" a Binance project, where the project itself does seem fine. I looked at the project not his post history or if his post was plagarized.
I agree on the Altcoin forum points you have made, and I understand the motivation behind there being no Merit sources because I noticed the Admin is really into Bitcoin (and I am too). But not everyone got many many Bitcoin for free and so for me the best way was to buy cheap Altcoins and trade them into Bitcoin after huge gains, and this strategy has worked well for me.
I stand to the point you could be making quality posts in the Altcoin section for 10 years and not reach Sr. Member.
