To the best of my knowledge JJG has never merited undeserving posts in this thread and other threads he has been active on. People are posting in this thread because there lots of knowledge that's been shared in this particular thread. JJG has been running this thread for long now and anyone posting trash here are quickly called to order. JJG has been someone we look up to for knowledge and he has never disappointed us. If we make useful contributions and he gives out Merits are you trying to doubt his judgement or what exactly are pointing at. Sometimes we should appreciate the good works that others are doing instead of enving them.
I think he just loves a good ball washing. He's almost assuredly ranked up more useless spammers and shitposting alt accounts than any other single individual on this forum. It directly leads to a decline in the overall quality of the forum as visitors must wade through pages upon pages of merit-hunting, quota-fulfilling spam to find single nuggets of actually valuable information (which they're not going to do, BTW).
How hard is it to understand DCA? Every essence and nuance of it could be covered in 1 page with 20 (good) posts.
There's no way he doesn't recognize what he's doing by now; he just doesn't care because y'all inflate his ego, which for whatever reason he desperately needs.
If I was to analyze the sig campaign spending habits of the biggest ball-washers, I'd be willing to bet that less than 10% of them are actually saving any BTC whatever. You just say what he wants to hear and expect merits to follow, and they often do. Its a positive feedback cycle that has brought down the average IQ of the forum exponentially over the years.
