Don't seek the merits; instead, let the merits seek you. If you care about the quality of your contributions in the forum and focus on enriching this vast space with your knowledge, posts, and purposeful topics, and if you try to become a helpful member to others, you will eventually achieve your goal. Concentrate on boards that align with your expertise and where you can shine and excel. Those members who have dozens of merits have indeed started with the Newbie rank and had no merits initially, but through their diligence and setting goals to enrich content, help the cryptocurrency community and beginners, and become outstanding and well-known contributors, they have now succeeded in reaching their goals. Yes, it takes time, effort, and experience from you, but with your determination, you will eventually succeed, and we may find you among merit source members one day. Nothing is impossible here among the many generous and experienced members.
