I hope you can get some merits for this thread, you do a great work for crypto economy.
Thanks for the kind words, it's always nice to know that some of the things you do are appreciated by some of the community. As a Hero member, gaining merit doesn't give me any extra advantages, as the benefits for Legendaries are much the same. But promotion is always good as recognition for one's efforts.
What is more important for me is trying to groom some of the boards so that they can be used as information exchanges and for discussion about the new government pseudo-cryptos when they arrive. You guys can help me with this by keeping threads about the crypto-underworld in the alts and bounty sections. There will be a lot of new members joining to find out about the banking changes, and if they see a load of threads about questionable coins and programmes, then they will go elsewhere. These changes are going to be so important for Bitcoin and anybody that needs a money system ( I guess that is everybody ), that we need to understand them as they are announced.
Another way you can help is to continue to make Bitcoin Talk an international forum. The globalist banking elite are now super-national, and the only way we can defend ourselves is if members from all countries work together to keep our independence. The international language of banking finance is English, and the massive numbers of derivatives and other banking instrument that are traded through the City of London, makes it the primary financial centre of the world, and it has become almost a country in its own right. In order to understand the dramatic changes that are happening at the moment, you will need to understand English, and Bitcoin Talk can help you with this by helping you to understand the financial jargon. For example, words like 'backwardation' have specific meaning in financial trading.
