Does anyone else see this as a merit fishing attempt?

I just want to say hello. In a hundred+ years they will look back on what "Satoshi" did in absolute awe. We're here now ladies and gentlemen!!!! Just appreciate it!!! We are living through one of the most important times in human history. Bitcoin is a real store of interplanetary value.

You've gone too far with that. That thing about 100 years from now, well, in this forum surely many of us think the same, but you have taken out of your sleeve a new concept, because in order to have interplanetary value there should be some kind of relationship between planets that today there is not, and it is quite improbable that there will be in only 100 years.

I didn't post for merit! Sorry if it came off that way. I don't really know the value of merit here opposed to actual trusted feedback. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm for posterity and see what other people say Cool

Even if you intend to, I don't care anyway, lots of members here fish for merit and I think that is a good thing because they are trying to create sensical topics to be worthy of merit. Besides, it is on the member if they wanted to give you or not no matter how hard you try to fish for one. Ever seen threads like, I did seminars for my friends, accept Bitcoin in my store, etc... that are posted on Bitcoin discussion... those threads are actually fishing for merit IMO. But then we give them anyway because they did an extra activity to be worthy of those merits.

I wonder when was the time when posting to earn merit became an issue in this forum?

Back to the topic... If Bitcoin become successful and made the government adopts Bitcoin as a legal tender or a mode of payment I agree that this time would be written in history and this forum will be recorded as the one that plays a huge part in the foundation and propagation of Bitcoin.

I think there are lots of people who are at this moment in awe of bitcoin and what it entails. I know I am. But I would also say youre reaching way too far when you say bitcoin is a store of interplanetary value. Perhaps youve got some proof of life on somewhere other than the planet Earth?
In a hundred years from today and when the last bitcoin is mined, that is when we would truly know the worth and value of bitcoin. Then again, who knows what would happen in that time. The future is very unpredictable

It doesn't hurt to look far ahead, people with great vision look way ahead than normal people do. Just like how Satoshi envisions Bitcoin in upcoming years.
