Today I'm a member and I'm excited to see myself to this rank, I will stand to celebrate another milestone in the forum which I know very well, so when I looked at my ranked up I get more courage, I want to everyone to not lose hope in what they are doing, because their is some things that will stand as obstacles when you want to know what you don't
I stand in this precious time to congratulate myself for achieving my first milestone despite that theirs many milestones to achieve but at least I have counted 1 and others shall be achieve later
You should probably move this thread to reputation since it doesn't speak about the forum, it will be suitable for this kind of discussion.
Sorry for your health challenges and for misplacing your phones, glad that you are now okay and strong enough to achieve this milestone of member rank, you have more than the merit needed to even qualify for your current rank, it shows that you are doing great.
You should also know that because some people are unable to rank up doesn't mean they are finding it challenging, some people joined the forum to ask questions and when they get their answer, they don't bother to impress anyone about anything related to Bitcoin posts, some are traders that prefer to have a strong reputation to trade than for them to have big ranks in the forum, I believe you have seen a junior member in some particular board with green trust and some high rank with distrust feedback all over their accounts.
Anyway, what I said should not be a discouragement but to shed more light on your explanations, Congratulations on your new rank, and I hope to see you refer back to this thread in some years when you reach Legendary rank. Cheers!!
