I don't think holding the sMerit is a crime on the Forum and everyone has the right to do whatever they feel like to their sMerit just like everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Yeah, obviously holding sMerit is not a crime, and it's everyone's choice whether they want to send the merit or hold it. Because he earns it by himself. But for the sake of argument, I agree with you, but my opinion is that sMerit should not be held, it should be distributed to members. Because just as seniors gave you merit for applying for your post, you should also give merit to deserving people. Community work is done in such a way that all people perform the work together through a cooperative.
So it's meant to say that sMerit is everyone's own, whether one gives it or not but in my opinion, it is better to give sMerit. Because only through this can we grow the community, i.e., prepare new people to carry forward the legacy of Bitcoin.
I will say again, no criticism is meant, only the purpose is to explain.
I like how you made it look easy but indeed it's easy to comprehend. Some members don't see it that way, they only think that is theirs which is true but what's the point in keeping it for over a year? Are they keeping it to buy a bucket load of Bitcoin? No, and if you ask me I think some don't know how to distribute the
to deserving post on the Forum.
