All post seems identical you show something to relate it to bitcoin then post.

And some write a note then tell it was for bitcoin education.

Maybe this is their way to get some merit and many got baited.

I do hope all of those thread are legitimate not done only for one day just to have topic to post and get  merit.

Do you honestly believe that someone will look through your directory to see how and who received their first bitcoin or uses it as a payment method?IMHO, but I'm interested in reading this at a time when it's relevant. Someone opened their own salon, someone teaches the basics of bitcoin in the church, and someone else added bonuses for going to the salon. It's all interesting once, so I don't think it needs to be cataloged. Unless someone does not understand, how are such subjects created? Let people grow, at least even using fantasy; they should do something on their own and not rewrite others' links, implying orderliness on the forum. The same fishing merits. Just don't interfere with each other.


I agree with you, @_act_, that all these "helpful" links look very fake.

We can all agree that most of these threads are for merit fishing but do know why merits are still been spread on them by mostly experienced members? It’s simply because of the effort put into it. If we are to come to conclusion that all are for merit fishing then me might miss the opportunity of appreciating genuine or legitimate ones. So without evidence we shouldn’t point fingers towards anyone.
As for people who disguise for just merit i will just advise them to have a chill there are other means to get it.

Mr man (BlackBoss_), I am making this comment here because my post is also mentioned in your list to be inserted in your so call thread. In these days I have been on tour to navigate the forum to read more. So I have been readind threads. I have also seen your comments and threads. One thing I discovered from your writing is that you are not here to know more on bitcoin but to make eye service...you want people to notice your present at all time, you have not made any educative phrase.. And you are making mistakes that can be avoided if really your are reading and making research before posting

Did you read this before asking fillippone to review your post?

Also even this your thread Announce your first Bitcoin purchase, Bitcoin acceptance for your business here is a copycat in which you  paraphrase the topic from Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!.

If those Threads you mentioned (listed) are to be inserted in any thread, it is this 👇 and not yours Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great! and not in this Announce your first Bitcoin purchase, Bitcoin acceptance for your business here. I will advise you to lock and archive this thread because there an already existing thread on your idea, if really you were reading, you wouldn't create this thread, but you deliberately ignore the search button to copycat (double) create threads for attention. Please build your house well before outside.

Even your topic is contradicting your content. OP your topic or subject has nothing to do with your content.

Ascertaining the intentions of the OPs of these threads might be difficult because none of them would ever accept that their sole aim is to get merit. I cannot also conclude because they would give you many genuine reasons why they started the thread. But one striking benefit I have seen from this thread is that they offer some basic guidelines or lessons about Bitcoin. Most times the OP of some of these threads seek advice from the community about a better way of using Bitcoin personally and in their business, while others on how to teach or create Bitcoin awareness better in their area. And we have seen some members giving uncommon Ideas that have even helped me personally.

My humble advice is that if you suspect that any thread is for merit hunting or fishing, don't give any merit. If these merit fishers realize that their baits are getting nothing, they would stop. We shouldn't discourage people with genuine intentions from sharing their stories and getting relevant advice or information.

They just need to post and post whatever the purpose is, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't break the rules. My consideration is that every user has the right to speak, but if it is an attempt to get merit or fishing for merit then of course it will be difficult for other users to get it. Making it up or really low effort might come across easily, so it's okay if they don't get support.

I just try to stay positive in any effort they have, sometimes it's true but they can't convey it well because of the limitations.

I don't mean to doubt, but I really agree with what you said because with the many threads included by the OP, I actually don't really believe in some of the stories that are shared, especially since the patterns that are actually carried out are almost the same and in the same area, so I doubt this, even though this is true just my personal.
But as long as someone does prove that it's true I don't think that's too much of a problem with that and think they're cool for daring to innovate further with bitcoin.

Topic is reorganized and I really hope that people will bring their announcements here.

They can announce their first buying, first selling, first salary in BTC, educational class/ seminar/ short meeting podcast, first buying something with BTC, first selling something to buy BTC, business accepted BTC, first BTC received from customer for their business, charity, help someone to buy, sell, trade first BTC ...

Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great! is for ranking up announcements and people joined it happily.

This topic is for BTC adoption worldwide.

Another successful story from a woman who is successfully ranked up with ranks to Senior member and got income from signature campaign to support her family and bought a new phone. Congratulate!

Bold steps leads to another bitcoin achievement (New phone launched)

A new phone can help her to type her posts better and it can be used as one of device to store his bitcoin with Electrum wallet or as a co-signer for her wallet.
