Merit is meant for useful posts. So if you want merit you better go and help others. Some (very few, I know) will give you merit if they find your posts helpful and good.
I'm not going to dig holes or develop programs for merit.
Is it bad that a more experienced person will give the task to tell about something in my own words about cryptocurrencies. He does a very useful job: trains beginners and helps to improve their rank. It seems to me that the sources of merit should pay attention to such people, because they increase the competence of people.
if you have knowledge about the crypto,then answer the question an get some merit here:
