I am 1 of those that Lucius mentioned that would say 3 years isn't that long considering I have been here for almost 10 and active the whole time. Congrats on 3 years active I guess.
It's not, if you take into account that, in theory, my account is approximately 10 years old. Not a huge accomplishment indeed, but I'm honestly regretting not spending more time on the forum; it would have kept my interest in cryptocurrencies alive if I had persisted a little more.
Just the fact that, as a teenager, you were already on this forum, even without much interest, suggests that Bitcoin led you to it and finally achieved it. But seriously, many people probably regret their frivolity towards Bitcoin, but we are among those who remain with it.
I also congratulate you, OP, on your date; you left twice, and the third time completely made you a real fan of the forum. But judging by your story, you are still very young, so you have time to experience many of the events that will happen with Bitcoin and let them turn out for the better for you.
I was intrigued by Bitcoin, even though I didn't understand too much back then. My main issue was that I actually wanted to purchase some. I had enough money for more than one coin, but I didn't have the means to acquire it. Buying as someone who's under 18 wasn't that easy, as exchanges would need a deposit or a credit card, and at that point, I couldn't have thought of another way without getting scammed.
Anyone who has been active on the forum for many years (without doing bad things and earning a bad reputation) deserves respect. Some may say that 3 years continuously is not much, but everyone who thinks so should try to be active for at least 3 months and they will see how easy/difficult it really is.
Given that I was mentioned by the OP, I can only say that I'm glad if I was able to help and provide support in anything that could be of help. I can only wish that the OP continues to be an active and good member of this community, and at the end of the day, it would be a shame if everything on this forum was only about profit and the question of the price of Bitcoin, right?
Thank you; you're one of the members that I totally enjoy talking to, even on a casual basis. I find it significant to have a few forum pals that you can talk to and support each other.
