I signed up in this educative forum on 28th May, 2021(32days ago) I made my first post, on the course of replies to the post, I was advised by established members to always make quality posts if I wish to grow in the forum. Post that will solve problems or very informative posts, then I should adhere to the forum rules and regulations. I then asked myself "what does it take to make quality posts?". I understood that you must posses quality in order to offer quality. You cannot offer what you don't have.
Another question arose within me. "How can you be quality in a field you have little/no knowledge about, compared to others in the forum who are grounded"
Then questions like, how can a newbie make a post that solves a problem of a legend. This appeared to be impossible. What kind of information about cryptocurrency will a newbie of 2021 break that has not been heard decades ago. I was fast to conclude within me that the system was designed to favour the favoured. I became a bit discouraged. I decided to put up some posts, behold! same topic I raised has been discussed and concluded in the past. This further justified my fears.
However, in as much as some persons were not agreeing to my posts, some others were meriting same posts. This very act restored my hope, then @Quickseller merits came as a source of confidence to me, when I almost gave up. After receiving a few merits, I understood that same yardstick is not used to measure the quality of a newbies post and an established members post. Low ranking members are always advantaged. Especially when they sincerely show inclination to grow, members are always ready to support.
So, my fellow low ranking members, let's keep researching and making good posts, even if they are not good enough, your archangels will stumble on them and award you some merits. Not only merits, you will be very knowledgeable in cryptocurrency through this forum. Thank you all!
