In my opinion, it is quite easy to get merits today.
You can say that because you are knowledgeable enough about crypto/bitcoin and you are also one of the older users here who contributed well to the forum. But like me or another user here that new in the forum and also new in crypto, we can say that it's hard to get merits cause we don't know where to start contributing here in the forum cause we can not share anything about bitcoin because we are still in the stage of learning,
, because some people (merit sources) will leave the forum, or they will stop being so active distributing merits, but I don't think we will need many more, and even less soon.
Yes, you're right some merit sources will leave or be inactive distributing merits here in the forum. One of them is fellow countrymen Cabalism13 cause he is busy In real life.
But we where wait for the decision of theymos if he adds some merits source for this biggest community.
