~~ merits ~~
Is every thread that you'll publish next will be more or less mentioning merit? The behavior of creating threads and then leaving is honestly not liked by some members, you'll be ignored rather than merited.
The behaviour of creating a thread and leaving it by newbies is not a new one and I am not offended by it. It is not done purposely most times. I have been a newbie and it also happened to me. During my newbie days, when I drop a post and replies start coming, I would be reading all, but trying to reply all at same time was a big problem to me. Before I will know, the thread is already in the 3rd page and I will feel like keeping mute was the best thing to do. It continued that way till I learnt how to multi-quote.

Op, you have to advice yourself here. The question is, do you truly believe that bitcoin will make a new ATH or has the tendency to rise again? If yes, buy bitcoin but if no, save your money.
