Nope... for 2 good reasons,
1st reason: Your TL* ignores 3 daily closes. The general idea is correct but you drew it half-right! Try draw it on the Bitfinex's chart though, the trend seems to follow the TLs more accurately with their price chart. Check this one for example; I made it for fun though so don't give it much though!
LINK2nd reason: I can't merit you even if I wanted too!
*TL = Trend Line
I have never sought rank here, ever. I had some fun with it when I achieved Hero Member, but it was just that: Fun. Then people started asking me how I got there.
Best answer I had was I spend too much time on this forum.
Then I was gone for a year, due to a great many personal issues. When I come back I'm Legendary Tongue
Honestly, if you're trying for it, I doubt you'll get it. Go out, learn, post, participate. Learn to be someone who is respected for their opinion, humour, or something that gets you noticed, but do it for the right reasons.
I came here to learn. And learn I have. I was, despite my age, an infant when I came to this forum. The main reason I got anywhere is that I pretty quickly learned the magic: Watch, and Ask.
When I totally had no clue, I'd search the forum and read. And read, and then read some more. Then when I thought I knew something, I'd open my mouth and prove I was wrong. But I caught the attention of some of the people here who did know, and were not averse to helping a new guy as long as I wasn't being a dick. Then I really started learning, and got to the point, organically, where I was the guy helping newbies.
No matter how good you are, or how good you get, at one point you were a rank newbie. In 2009, we all were. If you're just here for a quick buck, you won't be here long. If you're here to learn some really interesting things from a wide array of people in all walks of life throughout the world, the rank and merit will come and you won't notice, or care, because you'll be too busy interacting with a very eclectic and interesting group of people. And a large number of assholes. The signal to noise ratio can be very high here...
But that's true in life, isn't it
3rd reason... who gives a ratt's ass if you are correct or not, and you are bragging about your supposed ability to predict
4th reason... comes off as merit begging...
5th reason ... there are decent ways to actually earn merit without begging... for instance, go out there and have fun with your posts, post on subjects that you like, genuinely interact with other posters in the thread, and provide meaningful information and merits will likely follow without any need for outright begging
Thanks for sharing with all of us the abstract of your long long experience here at bitcoin forum. Many things are there to learn by the new people like me, your post has given a direction to me.
this is true for me sir. Promotion to next higher rank was taken for granted and I was very curiously waiting my up-ranking with the increase of number of activities which was automatic with the daily postings only. But with the introduction of merit scoring system though I was sad that now I will not be promoted to next higher rank but God has filled much patience in me and only he enlightened me to search what the problem (named merit) really is? Only then I searched for it I for the first time posted in Meta section otherwise I was just posting in Bitcoin discuioin or Alt section of discussion in few cases. Though the introduction of merit system has caused a big loss to new entrants but I got a golden chance to hear the learned people like you otherwise there was not a chance I would not have been so serious. I believe God blessed me by blocking the promotional gate of earning money and opened another gate of knowledge and compassionate responses from learned seniors like you.
"Watch and ask" the magic of your experience has motivated me. I will try to gain more and more knowledge now and put the questions to knowledgeable people who are responsive and kind to new entrants.
Sir though I will try all the best to post meaningful ; co operative; helpful; quality posts but still it may happen that the person who reads it has no sMerit because juniors have no such authority. May be seniors who read it may not consider the post to be worth importance and ignore it or none of the seniors have a look at the post and so I do not get any merit. Becoming (promoting) to the rank just a member is now difficult for me
. though not impossible. I will at least become a member some day with the mercy of God almighty some kind person will be sending me merits. But now instead of becoming member or senior member; but as per your guidance I will try to gain more and more knowledge and spread it to needy fellows; it will definitely give me internal satisfaction (social service) if not "money" following which I entered this forum
.
My lesson (true for others too); Be good have good.
