Hello, new bitcointalk user, been around on this site for around a year or so, just never decided to create an account. I’ve seen people with tons of merit! But yet I have not a single clue on how to gain any, whilst people have thousands! Pretty much a newbie when it comes to posting 
. But any help works, thank y’all!
If you have been a year in this site, then you must know already that earning merits is not easily gained, but only given to those who are deserving. Take your time to study the forum first, and be as knowledgeable as you can be. Explore the forum and read all the topics that interest you. That is one way to maximize your learning in this forum.. But any help works, thank y’all!However, getting merits is another story. You will only achieve it when you're capable already on your task. And by creating high quality posts that attract other members, then it will be easier to give their merits to you once they are starting to see value in your posts.
