You can get them either by means of helpful topics and answers, news, sharing Bitcoin adoption related stories, reporting scammers, etc.

But don't expect that every post mentioned above can guarantee you some merit. That's not how it works.

You'll treat merit as a bonus perk or unexpected blessing. Never beg for merits. And also never have a mindset of posting here just for the sake of merits. You'll get frustrated for sure with that kind of mindset.

Just be helpful without expect anything in return. One day you'll get there and achieve like the experienced. Coz' before we got this rank, we were used to be newbies like you too.

There are no shortcuts to success. You've got to earn it by being a respectable and valuable member of this forum.
