Topic: Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great! - page 20. (Read 11411 times)

I woke up to the realization that I've just transited from Junior member Rank to Member Rank. I joined the forum on 17th of March, 2022: I've used exactly 10 weeks and 5 days in the forum. The period spent here haven't been exactly easy, but my little achievements so far has made the whole experience worthwhile. I am indeed happy and grateful for everyone who has helped—either by merits or comments, especially the corrections on my post that taught me invaluable lessons—in this little journey to achieve this feat. I also want to say this to every newbie who find themselves struggling to survive here:  "there's no limit to what you can achieve".

The journey to the next rank (Full Member) starts with immediate effect—though getting there seems impossible and difficult due to the requirements, my aim remains to contribute towards this society of knowledge and to stick to the rules that guide this cryptocurrency  universe (the forum).

Yours dearly

APPRECIATION TO MY MEMBER RANK

Am so so excited with this opportunity, it's like for measure if this thread was specifically made for me . I remember when I got my first merit as a beginner I jumped up with so much euphoria as one who have just won a free unexpensed paid trip to Tokyo. And then gradually I got to the member rank without a prior knowledge that there's need for appreciation to myself for the efforts have put in thus far, and most especially to everyone who had in one way or the other supported, encouraged and constructively criticized me with the aim to grow me up.

When I started seeing other forum users creating threads to celebrate their new ranks (especially member rank) I just feel sad for myself, and it was like am ungrateful to those who have mentor, supported, and encouraged me up to my member rank, wishing I just could make up an appreciation post for them all even if it's not about me. But on the other hand there was a feeling that it was too late to do so since it has been weeks to a month there about since I ranked up to member rank.

But right now with this opportunity made available here, I felt and developed a different mindset wether it's coming late or not. From my deepest heart and widest smiles am appreciating those who motivated, directed encouraged, guided, supported and constructively criticized my works, actions and inactions here in the forum and outside the forum. You guys are the most amazing.

Even now as I work towards greater rank's as to becoming a full member I won't hesitate to ring the bells of celebration and appreciations immediately I ranked up to full member. Am glad to be here, and I wouldn't stop making threads/posts with quality content to the best of my ability.

wooooow..... Am so excited about this at last.

Celebration ends when another celebration begins. In the month of March I was rank up to the member rank and after then I learned a lot of things and I was so happy, and I became a full member on the 26 of May, 2022. This is a forum of celebration and vast knowledge.

I will like to appreciate those who direct, guide, encourage and help me from one way or the other. I call them my professors in the forum. Such as:
lovesmayfamilis, LoyceV, JayJuanGee, The Pharmacist, Ratimov, CryptopreneurBrainboss, fillippone, Zlantann,  Pokapoka124, CryptoHeadlineNews, Davidvictorson, Wiwo etc. Please if I didn't call your name, please, you are also among. Just that I can't list all.

I also want to use this opportunity to apologise to those that I have offended through my comments or post unknowingly, please forgive me.

I am in this forum to learn and to contribute when I have learned. I am not for the forum's goods but for the forum good. I learned mostly from Fillippone threads.

Finally, becoming a full member was not a dream for now because when I visited and viewed some users that are full member, and they registered since 2019 & 2020, and I also saw someone registered early this year and the person is a full member now. And I picked courage. And now here am I, a full member rank. I am also encouraging my juniors not to give up. Continue learning, your next level is very close.

Excitement ends when another excitement begins.

With 35 days clocked in on my dash in terms of " Total time logged in" I am counting down to breaking the 3000 posts marker which is huge for me, a symbol of being an active member of the forum which might not matter much to others, but I have seen myself grow with the forum and is a milestone worth some recognition in my books. Btw let the 35 days not fool you, I have come to know some big names of the forum such as BiPolarBob most generous guy ever, Lauda and many others whose names might be in the archives but can't be forgotten...I have also come to see the black book aka blacklist which many would have found themselves on by now ...all thanks to the BitMixer sig . Cheers to a bigger, better and stronger forum of tomorrow 🥂.

I left 100 days of my life to this forum and stepped into the 100 days club I admit that I have a Bitcointalk addiction In the middle of a job, I open a new tab and enter bitcointalk and its happen without realising . Its like you are opening the door of fridge and starts to think why did i came here I will call this addiction as a "Bitcointalkophobia"  

I'll probably congratulate myself on the member ranking, even though it's still not worth saying because there are still many references and there's still a lot I don't know about the ins and outs of this forum and I still need to read a lot here.

I've known this forum not too long ago and I should probably thank Steamtyme for creating a youtube channel Steam tyme which uploaded some videos related to bitcointalk although I did find this by accident but this forum made me curious and finally decided to create an account in early January this year.

It was really funny at first because I posted in the wrong place and got reprimanded by dkbit98, Upgrade00  and lucifur as a result of my careless actions, but fortunately apart from the warning I was also directed to find information about beginners first which made me feel more challenged and more willing to contribute here. Thanks dude for contributing to what I'm doing here.
Now I have reached Member here even though this is still very low when compared to colleagues who were here before but I am quite proud of my achievements now

I am so much delighted for getting to the rank of a full member with so much contributions from reputable members in this forum. It all started like a dream that could never be accomplished with so much things I needed to learn here every single day I logged in here. I was like this journey would take me a while but life can be very funny atimes.

It all started like a baby trying to learn how to write and read. The journey was never easy for me and I thought I will never come back to the forum and continue my normal activities here learning new ideas. I had to leave the forum for one or two issues that had affect my health and dream of being a self employed graduate. Honestly the lifestyle of a white collar employee is not as interesting to me as having my own business here. I left for completely four months or more to build myself and fixed my healthy imbalance so I could be self sufficient, and grow up with vast knowledge in life.

I am very grateful to everyone I've learnt from and that had added to my success to this current position. I have read so many good posts here from reputable members that had improved my intellectual and enlightenment on cryptocurrency in general.
My appreciation goes to everybody on this forum and other great men that had strengthen my weakness and encouraged me through posts I've read and others. A big thanks to @LoyceV, @BitcoinGirl.Club @fillippone @DdmrDdmr, @JayJuanGee, @The Pharmacist, @Ratimov, @CryptopreneurBrainboss  @Welsh, @o_e_l_e_o, @hugeblack @Slow death.

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I like your words. because it made me realize that I would also be so proud that I could be here in this unique forum. where quality is valued and waste is cleaned. what a fun forum. although I rarely comment on great posts, but I spend a lot of time reading quality posts and discussions in them. although sometimes there are still many terms that I do not know. but that's what makes me search more and continue to learn a lot from the people in this forum.

CONGRATULATION TO EVERYONE IN THIS FORUM

I recently became senior member. I’ve waited for my activity to clocked 250 to achieve this status. Honestly I can’t complain, it’s better than lacking merits to rank up, for this reason I consider myself lucky . I'm so proud of myself for reaching senior member at this time. I’m grateful to everyone who has been helpful,  thank you to those who work hard to keep the forum sane.

I'm Despairo, a malaysian citizen who interested about Bitcoin. Firstly I have heard a word "Bitcoin" on 2017 when there's sudden pump and reached $19K. But I didn't care anything at that times and just continued my normal life until I looking for side jobs to cover my expenses.

I searched "how to earn money via online" in google and I read an article mention "faucet". I was interested with faucet since it's very easy to claim some satoshi by solve a captcha or watch short video. I give all of my effort and time to claim every faucet until reached the minimum withdrawal. After around 3 weeks, I have reached the minimum withdrawal and that's the first Bitcoin transaction I ever made.

But since 3 weeks is really long and I didn't earn to much, I decided to stop claiming faucet and learn some Bitcoin courses. I did earn some money by trading, but mostly I earn through investing. A year passed and I joined this forum, honestly I don't know where and how I can found this forum, I'm completely forgot about that.

My first post was about mini seminar launched by myself on 2020, it's my first contribution about Bitcoin related stuff especially for Malaysian. I feel happy to share my limited knowledge about Bitcoin to average joe or people who doesn't understand Bitcoin at all. Those participants still contact me about his Bitcoin investment and thankfully to me for introduce Bitcoin to him.

Then day after day I keep learning about the forum rules, trustlist, feedback, how's the forum work and regularly create post in my local thread. I got so many merits when I was started with my first post, I even got rewarded with the most merited... I keep posting and contributing, mostly about Bitcoin, privacy, exchanges, and forum related stuffs. I didn't really care with merit at that time, what I think is improving my quality post and gain more knowledge.

When I got 250 merits, I realized my merit start slowing down than my merit was under 250. I don't think my quality post is decreased, but I would think the higher your merit, the higher difficult you will earn the next merit. But it's understandable since anyone always need to improve their quality to become better, not stucked at one point.

Currently my contributions on this forum is:
1. Creating high quality posts in my local thread and translating high quality topics to learn more about the subject.
- Arti bitcoin dan kelebihannye
- Cara membeli Bitcoin di Malaysia
- Data covid-19 Malaysia dan cara prevent
- [GUIDE] Panduan pemula untok gunekan Trust sistem yang betol oleh LoyceV
- Apa yang anda mahu tahu tentang BTC futures hadapan tapi takut untuk tanya!

2. Creating topics in global board to share my knowledge.
- El Salvador retirees protest against Bitcoin as legal tender
- Compilation of all "Scam Accusations" threads related to exchanges V.2
- [GUIDE] 10 complete steps for new casino into this forum

Based on BPIP stats, I'm currently 662th most earned merit and DT2 with 1 strength only. There's not much forum achievements I got, unlike other people got most merit, most active, most trusted, most recognized and most posts. But I believe it's take times and I will continue my journey in this forum. Still, getting 297 merit isn't easy and I was impressed I can get them, I hope I will ranked up to Hero member very soon.

Hey, I am a member and just now I realised my ranked changed because you need merits on this forum. At first I thought these are like the thumbs up on cracked or something similar, but just now I saw it actually helps you to rank up.
Thanks to everyone helping me ranking up.

MY FEAR,  MY JOY, MY APPRECIATION!
i joined the forum 3 months ago and being part of this educating society has been one of my greatest experience, though it all started with me procrastinating a lot of the plans I had to start my activity on the forum. At first, I found the interface of the site so overwhelming, It wasn't easy finding my way around. Also seeing people's profiles, especially people with thousands of posts, activities and merits, made me feel intimidated. I used few weeks on battling with my inner mind to create my first thread, I kept postponing this plan, but thank goodness, I finally overcame myself and created the thread.

Consequentially, that thread earned me my first merit and there was where my Joy and sense of fulfillment started, it was as if I won a scholarship, "so someone finally merited my post!" I exclaimed. Even in all these I still feel intimidated, as I said earlier, anytime I come across profile of people in higher ranks, but I've learnt to use that to my advantage, I've come to realise that "nothing worthwhile ever come easily" and that "a journey of thousand miles start with a step taken". Yeah, I took that first step and I am no more where I use to be: this also delight me, that feeling that I'm on a journey and I'm making progress, that I'm growing, that I'm learning, not only about cryptocurrency, but also how to be more constructive and creative in my writing skill, and most especially how to be disciplined (patient). All of these have affected my life in the real world and I consider them achievement in my journey so far.

Finally, my Joy came to its climax early this week as I transited from Newbie rank to Jr. Member, that's my greatest achievement so far and I look forward to achieving more on the forum. My appreciation goes to everyone existing on this space, to those who gave responses to my threads and clarify my ignorance, also to those who were magnanimous enough to merit my posts; I'm grateful, Thanks!

First of all, I greet the senior brothers. I am new to this forum. Before I came to the forum, I got the idea of ​​forum rules and forum. The good thing about this is that everyone helps.But if we ask our friends for help, they will not.One thing I realized when I came to the forum is that it helps more newcomers to get their rank up quickly.And pretty much everyone here helps.Those who have an account in the senior member rank have a different feeling.Since my rank newbie.. As I think now if I go to Member rank no one else will be as happy as me.

Thank....

Lol.  The rules here aren't "fearful" by any stretch of the imagination--or at least in comparison to other discussion forums.  Very few actions will earn you a permaban, and they're the ones people ought to know not to do just as a matter of course. 

Newbies should most definitely read the rules anyway, because some aspects of bitcointalk are strict (like post quality) and might be different from other sites, where you can just post "lol" or "+1" and nobody bats an eye.

Congrats on getting to Member status by the way--you got there in less than a year, which is probably the average time for a decent poster.  Hopefully it won't take you too long to reach Full Member.

And look at that, BitcoinGirl.Club!  I didn't think anyone would use this thread the way you intended it, but it looks like some members are.  Cool.

Although its coming late but I need to celebrate this dream come through: I am now a member. Firstly,  It's an uncommon privilege to be in this forum. This forum is so organized that I embraced it few minutes after I was introduced to it. For me this forum is far higher than the university in different areas. Many people people in this forum have positively impacted my life. I want to say a big thank you to all of them. I want to also appreciate my wife and children for understanding that daddy needs to divide his time between them and the forum. This forum has thought me that I must be:

Ready to Research: My first posts had some blunders and I paid dearly for the mistake. I felt very bad that I was sacred to read people's responses. This forum is filled with intellectuals and geniuses that are well grounded in diverse fields. Hence, before you post ensure you have done a lot of relevant and current research.

Ready to learn: To succeed and enjoy the forum, you must be teachable. If you are not willing to be corrected, then you might get offended. This is because some members might not correct you politely.

Ready to endure: Patience is an important virtue in this forum. Sometimes you might spend so much time and resources to produce a post and it might not receive the response you desire. You have to be patient and keep going.

Ready to observe: Most success tips in this forum are not specified. You must be sensitive to observe other members that are successful. I have learnt a lot from fillippone by reading his post and observing his style.

Ready to give: If your main aim is to receive reward for everything you offer in this forum, then you might not go far. You must learn to be liberal. If you want to receive, then you must also give.

Ready to obey: This forum have some fearful rules. Ignorance is not an excuse. Ensure you read and obey then. Some mistakes in this forum can be costly.

Thank you for providing this thread for forum users especially when they want to announce something they are proud of.

First of all, I never wanted to feel superior to any user in this forum because I just wanted to be a more useful person for myself and others without being arrogant. Regarding merit and rank, I'm currently almost close to the Legendary rank I've been dreaming of where I only need 149 more merit to reach.

Honestly that I felt like posting it here and announcing it at the right time at the moment, but I'm still on my way to achieving it. Now I just want to let you know that the change in my activity and the increase in the quality of my posts have allowed me to earn 351 merit and have also distributed 153 merit to 72 different profiles to date. Of course it's not the best achievement I've had and I hope I can keep improving it over time, so I'm just hoping to edit this post in a few months to let you know that Legendary has been accomplished.

Level up to member: When I first came to this forum it was never my intention to rank up. I was just trying to make some conversation with other members to acquire some knowledge and pass my time. Actually, I didn't know about this ranking system and when I tried to add some images for my post I figured out newbie can not do that. So I moved into the Beginners & Help thread to find out what was wrong. There I learned about some basic rules and requirements for the forum.

Actually, my first intention was to get to jr members so that I can add images to my post. So i did increase my activity because i have already got more than one merit by that time. Right now I am in member rank and it seems the only way I can get merit to this forum is by helping others. I do know some stuff about crypto and bitcoin but I think I need to take more time to contribute something that contains the real value to the forum.
