I don't think it really matters for someone to join the discussion when they don't have any tangible contributions to give.
Oh the irony. That's like 99% of the posts in this thread.
Wow, amazing, we've reached 500 pages

I believe 500 pages contain many posts that are quite high quality and useful for us or beginners to find effective ways to invest in bitcoin and the key is buy and hold.
All the actually important information in this thread could have been said in a single page, then it would have been much easier to find.
There have been
3,758 merits distributed in this thread. Of those, JJG has dished out
2,269 of them and received
265 of them.
JJG's merits are the only reason anyone continues to post here (along with a couple of other threads y'all are also regularly posting in).
Nobody's learning a goddamn thing, except how to be a bigger suck up.
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.
