A very touching thing happened on the forum yesterday. Hero member
MV1986 has recommended
RainbowKun's several posts in
[Self-moderated] Report Unmerited Good Posts to Merit Source. In the recommendation he gave RainbowKun a high rating, saying that he contributed to the effective discussion of Bitcointalk, and that he put in enough effort that he deserves more merit. But it is clear that RainbowKUN current merit is not matched by his current contributions to the forum.
Quoting myself here just to say a big thank you to you guys for sending all those merits to RainbowKun. He seriously deserves it and I can tell you he is planning on expanding his series of articles even further. I allow myself to quote a little part of his PM in which he also said thank you to me for recommending him to you guys.
"To be honest, my articles are not as popular in this forum as I originally thought. Many of them are purely philosophical thinking, and they are not the type that existing forum users like"
I think this is exactly what many of us complain about on this forum. This guy just came here to find like-minded thinkers or at least people who are open for deep and substantial discussions.
Again, nice to see this thread work as intended!

When MV1986 recommended him, RainbowKun's merit at that time was 17. When I wrote this topic one day later, his merit increased to 66, which directly increased by 49 in just one day. This is a very proud achievement for both the old legend members and the forum novices.
Apparently, with the recommendation of MV1986, many old members recognized RainbowKun's article and generously awarded merit. This is a very moving thing. Bitcointalk members find good knowledge, recommend it to others, and gain recognition from more people.
loyceV gave away 12 in
Bitcoin and Keynes Plan, and COOLCRYPTOVATOR gave away 8
But at the same time, I was wondering, do we really need some depth of knowledge in our forum?RainbowKun is a rising star of BitcoinTalk.
I have been paying close attention to his articles, and I gave him his first merit. I just briefly read his article information, he posted 24 separate threads in 28 days in July, which is close to one per day. In addition, each of his articles is more than 500 words, which is an amazing output of creation, which also shows his contribution to our forum knowledge.
I read almost every one of his articles, though in many cases I didn't really understand what he was saying. The content of his article is very logical, and the content is basically around the deep thinking about bitcoin.
He always makes a point, then builds his argument based on that point, and finally comes to a conclusion. No matter whether his views or arguments are correct or not, he can always write out his thinking process, which inspires me.
For example
Do you know any game theory tucked inside Bitcoin?, he talked about the game theory knowledge contained in the Bitcoin network, and he talked about a lot of things THAT I hadn't thought about.
Bitcoin and Keynes Plan, he talked about the relationship between bitcoin and the Keynesian plan, which made me associate bitcoin with the Keynesian plan for the first time
Why do many people call Bitcoin "digital gold"?,he talks about why bitcoin is called "digital gold." We often hear that bitcoin is "digital gold". He summed up the similarities between bitcoin and gold, and also summed up the advantages of bitcoin over gold, pointing out that bitcoin will replace gold to become a new generation of world currency.
Each of his articles inspires me in a different way and makes me think more about bitcoin.
But, in fact, as MV1986 said, his article did not get the recognition it deserved. Before being recommended by MV1986, RainbowKun only got 17 Merit points, and some articles were not well read or responded to. This got me thinking, does bitcointalk really need some depth of knowledge? What kind of knowledge is most popular in our forum?
I'd like to take a simple poll, where you can write your real thoughts and discuss the topic further.
1. I have never read RainbowKun's articles, and I am not interested in his articles.
2. I often see RainbowKun's articles, but his articles are just word wall, which is hard to read.
3. The ideas in his articles are very original, but often difficult to understand.
4. The forum was flooded with so many low-quality articles that I had a hard time finding anything worthwhile.
5. I don't want to answer too complex questions, which will consume more energy.
6. I randomly read forum topics and reply to any post I see.
These are some of my thoughts on RainbowKun's article, and I hope more similar in-depth knowledge will appear on the forum. Although I don't understand a lot of knowledge at the moment, I will keep learning. Learn from heroes, legends and other great members and contribute more to the forum.
