Daily Golden Jubilee Celebration

I wish to specially congratulate myself as I celebrate my 50th days spent on this forum ever since I got registered here on June 2021. Because though it was never an easy task, but through the help & assistance of the good people here on this forum, my dream was able to come to reality, and today I mark my 50th days time frame spent on this forum (i.e Golden Jubilee Celebration). All thanks to you all

Never thought I would get this far but fortunately I did
I know it might be less of achievement to some but to me it's alot
It shows to me that growing in knowledge isn't for naught.
Still recall the past when UTXO,Segwit and the like felt foreign to me
But now I'm even using them.

That’s how it feels at the beginning, it will feel almost impossible to grow here but as time goes on it will become easier after you have learned and understand the ways of the forum. Acquiring knowledge is what most newbies take for granted but it’s the most beneficial thing that will help you grow here in the forum, if only they knew.

This forum will teach you alot especially when you are new to bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general but only for those willing to learn. I am glad you are one of those that was able to withstand the challenges and backlash as a newbie and be able to achieve this milestone. This is not the end of the road so you should not feel relaxed but rather be motivated to move higher in rank and in no time you will be surprised how far you would go.

Congratulations to you on your latest achievement, it feels good reading the milestone achieved by other members here and i feel like i am missing out a lot for not visiting this thread more often.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
I specifically remember a time in which I was berated for being too mean to a newbie in one of my posts, and I understand that my post could have had gone either way in terms of its level of mean-ness, including that the difference between mean and not mean might merely be the choice to change a few of the words to be less harsh, and at the time, I largely disagreed with my having had been too mean to that particular newbie - even though there were several times later that I did consider similar kinds of interactions with other newbies, and I reflected upon my earlier interaction about whether I had been "too mean" in my post, and based on those kinds of reflections, I would sometimes moderate my tone just because sometimes the extra level of mean-ness is not really necessary (or helpful), even if the newbie might seem to be engaging in a kind of trolling behavior. yet it still might be ambiguous in regards to whether the newbie is trolling or not..
It is a normal thing sometimes people get upset with the kind of reply they get from people. You know one thing that makes people angry and makes you said some mean words to people, is the inability of them understanding your explanation due to tone or your accent
Or sometimes using some kind of word like "fuck you" you must be stupid for saying that" or more vague words which makes people reply aggressively and causes misinformation. I could remember the first time I came across your post, it was very difficult to comprehend to your level of explanation and it took me hours to understand your writeup. You have even reduced your writing pattern now for newbies to understand but I know many will still find it difficult to comprehend. But the reason behind that is that they don't know what the conversation is all about. Because they get more confuse expecially when they don't know what you are explaining. And you know what you don't know sounds pretty much like a grammatical blunder hahaha. But as time goes on I learnt that sometimes we misunderstood grammar for lack for our inability to comprehend write-up, and that is what makes you address newbies the way you think you did because it's always annoying in such situation.

There are topics that are more basic, and there are topics that are more complex that potentially benefit from explanations.

I will admit that sometimes my explanations will be easier to understand than others, and surely each of us have opinions, so we are not always correct in our opinions... while at the same time, we might have a topic that has, facts, logic, conclusions and opinions, so there can be ways in which any of those could go wrong or need further explanations, and sometimes any of us might not feel that we don't need to explain or maybe we refer to some other article, link or post, and sometimes we might say things without explaining, which may or may not be the right thing to do, even though there are ONLY so many hours in a day in order to explain and/or to elaborate.

I surely will grapple with some of the more technical discussions, so sometimes I am more leary to chime into a kind of conversation that I don't feel that I have enough grasp of the topic.  There are some topics that I discuss now that I would not have had understood 10 years ago when I first started to get involved in bitcoin, so in some senses I feel that I have learned a lot in bitcoin, and I sometimes will try to relate to the perspective of my earlier self in order to try to communicate ideas to other members, yet even some of the things that I might describe about my earlier self, might not apply to current circumstances, since some aspects of the world are different today, including some aspects of bitcoin still might be similar, but there are some aspects of bitcoin that may well be different today too.. so even a newbie coming to bitcoin today, might need to apply a bit of a different investment approach than what I had applied starting in late 2013 and into my earliest times of getting more and more involved in bitcoin and learning about bitcoin.

There may be some ways that bitcoin newbies today could have advantages over bitcoin newbies from 2013 that involve the mere fact that the bitcoin network has now been live more than 15 years, even though when I got into bitcoin, it was just getting to it's 5th year of being live.

True, yet sometimes it can be helpful to interact and to ask questions with other forum members in order to attempt to figure out why they post the way that they do, and sometimes when we interact with other members, we can figure out if they are being genuine or not.... because I tend to NOT be as much worried about whether I agree with someone or not, but I am concerned with some members who might make certain strong stances on a topic but without providing explanations for how they reached their strong stances.  
Definitely a man is not an island of knowledge hence there is need to interact and communicate freely with people, by knowing your lapses in other to be corrected because being a higher ranked member does not necessarily mean you are more educated/intellectual than others, or seeing their opinion as a waste. Human being are bound to learning regardless of age, belief, educational qualification or how influential they can be. But being submissive is the key. Because if you have everything in life without communicating freely with people life will become unfriendly to you. I alway respect people who are rich and powerful but can still communicate with common people because the world is a small place and hence no need to be proud of nothing. I know my write-up might be a little bit far from the actual discussion, but any where can be a means or channel of passing a message across of life simplicity.

Sometimes we might deviate somewhat from the topic, yet hopefully we can still make attempts to relate our discussion and our arguable deviance to the topic, and in this thread we have a lot of members describing their accomplishments, so the thread could be interpreted fairly broadly - including communicating ideas that reaching higher and higher forum rank and/or status on the forum may well NOT relieve us of responsibilities to either continue to try to learn or even to NOT take the knowledge levels and/or the potential contributions of newbies for granted... even though sometimes there will be newbies who come to the forum and seem to be respected and accepted for their achievements outside of the forum and/or they may bring their outside status to the forum and expect to get reverence based on their outside status - and that can be problematic in terms of verifying outside status but also it could impede possibilities for conversations to stand on their own merit... ..

so ranking up in the forum does likely bring some of those similar kinds of outside world status to the member- even though some members may end up getting dinged a lot in their trust as a means that might end up off-setting their previously earned/gained status based on rank.

I have experienced some forum members becoming very angry when I had asked them to explain some parts of the assertions to their posts, which sometimes demonstrate that they are not necessarily trying to be a genuine poster, and they might not even be a real person (maybe a troll or a paid shill?), so sometimes the interaction can be helpful in terms of figuring out if another member really stands behind his various assertions and is able to provide either facts and/or logic to back up their assertions.
Not every body that has a good writing skill or comprehension skill. Reading and writing is a very serious work because it takes Time.

It takes time to develop decently good reading, writing and comprehension skills, and surely some members present their ideas very well, but they still may well end up being substantively wrong in their facts, logic, conclusions and/or opinions.  There can also be guys who are correct in some areas, and wrong in other areas, or they could be right or wrong at any given time, but then they end up changing and maybe into the opposite direction..   Another thing is that sometimes right and wrong is on a spectrum rather than being absolutes, depending on the topic, and depending on if we might be talking about facts, logic, conclusions and/or opinions, because a person could be logically correct, but dealing with bad facts or he could be dealing with correct facts but giving the wrong kinds of weights to the facts and therefore coming to bad conclusions.

Another thing is that sometimes guys will come out fighting and making arguments in order to challenge various status quo aspects of bitcoin or some other related topic, so then once they make many of their arguments, they may proclaim that it is UP to others to prove that they are wrong, which many times does not end up being the case. Frequently if anyone is going to attempt to challenge the status quo or to argue that something needs to be changed (let's say in regards to bitcoin), then they have the burden of production (of evidence/facts) and the burden of persuasion (of logic) to convince folks to side with them, and they might be successful or they might not.

For instance, I don't tend to participate in too many shitcoin threads because I don't want to put that much energy into combatting them within their own space, and from my thinking either people want to get involved in shitcoins or they don't and that is on them.  However, if people come to bitcoin threads or they refer to bitcoin as crypto or they bring up some shitcoin in a bitcoin thread without denigrating it, then frequently I will consider them to be either in need to explain their use of dumb and vague-ass terms such as crypto if they might have been wanting to talk about bitcoin or maybe I might argue or suggest that they are either in the wrong thread or in need of starting their own thread that might relate to their desire to potentially muddy bitcoin discussion with either ambiguous shitcoin information or to perhaps be intentionally or unintentionally pumping some shitcoin or denigrating bitcoin.

Newbies to bitcoin may or may not understand some of these kinds of discussions, and some of the longer term bitcoiners might have had already concluded that it is not helpful to give any grounds to any of the folks who are using ambiguous terms that might either be pumping shitcoins and/or gratuitously denigrating bitcoin, and so the extent to which they choose to argue the topic or not may well end up in frustrations on both sides, even though maybe both perspectives could potentially be equally valid, so there might not be any ability to stop some of those kinds of battles, because sometimes even pumping shitcoins and/or denigrating bitcoin could be valid in some circumstances, even within some bitcoin threads.

And it is annoying when you ask someone to repeat itself, it will be like telling a stammerer to repeat what he has said, definitely you will get a blow on your face. LoL  Grin

Sometimes members are not ready, willing and/or able to back up what they said.. and I am not necessarily exempt from those kind of criticisms of my own interactions.  Some members might ask me to further explain, and sometimes I will refuse to continue to elaborate or to explain further, and I may well end up just proclaiming that I stand by what I already wrote - even if I might not even remember exactly what I had already wrote.  There can sometimes be needs to just stop getting into the weeds of certain topics and just agree to disagree rather than even continuing to explore areas that may or may not be resolvable, but even members within the thread might start to get frustrated with the ongoing battle that is starting to either seem to be too much in the weeds or to have way too many personal rather than substantive components.

A member's level of English can surely start to make differences, especially when the arguments start to get into a lot of subtle details, and sometimes the arguments might not even end up getting into a lot of subtleties, but instead might end up boiling down to perceptions in regards to whether both sides are really trying to be genuine in terms of the kinds of arguments that they are raising - including getting emotional and/or taking some of the matters personal that might not have had meant to be personal. 

And, another angle could be whether or not some technological aspects of bitcoin or some other related topic might not be well understood by both of the parties, then there could be some needs to bow out of the argument if it is getting into those kinds of areas.. which could end up being another way to say something like:  "I don't understand enough about that aspect of your argument(s), so it is possible that you could be correct in what you are saying, but I am going to just agree to disagree with you."  The other side might not let you bow out and continue to want to argue that you have to agree with them if you are saying that you don't know enough but you are still disagreeing... which surely those kinds of arguments can be frustrating.. especially if the person still might not want to agree with the other but does not have enough technical knowledge and/or competence to argue the topic from the angle that the other side wants to argue.

Most people find it difficult to comprehend a particular quote or thread but solely depends on other people quote to really understand the context of the actual topic.

That is true.   Sometimes when we feel that we don't know enough on a topic, we will rely on the judgement of people who we trust to treat topics fairly (or who we believe to be more knowledgable than us), and there is ONLY so many hours in a day, so sometimes we do need to have those kinds of reliance, especially when we are still learning topics or if we don't have time or abilities to learn certain areas, yet each of us likely has some responsibilities to both attempt to engage in critical thinking and/or to learn about the areas of our interest, and surely it still is discretionary regarding how much extra studying and/or due diligence that we might need to carry out, including that we will frequently have a variety of other things going on in our lives, and we might ONLY have so many hours per day or per week that we are able to dedicate to learning a new topic or potentially figuring out a topic that we know might take 100s if not 1,000s of hours to learn with any level of competence... and so there could still be higher level ways to learn topics but then there could be ways to learn topics that might not involve as many hours, and sometimes we might just need to spend 5-10 minutes looking up some definitions and/or some of the basics of a topic (maybe even using wikipedia) in order to at least understand the reference so that we can then go on to better understand some context of what might be being said or argued.

While others don't bother to check from others, but choose to reply without knowing that they have confused themselves in trying to explain a simple thing.

Sometimes we do not know what we do not know, and one of the advantages of a forum like this is to bat around ideas, while at the same time, sometimes when we go to write out a post in order to respond, we may well come to a realization that we might not know the topic well enough in order to take a stance... or maybe we might come to realize that our previous stance was not very well informed and we have to look into the topic further based on what the other member said in response to our earlier post on the topic.

and when you tell such person to rephrase h/herself, they wouldn't even bother to come back to the thread again.

Hahahahaha

Yes.  Members respond in varying ways. Sometimes they will ghost you and/or the thread, other times they might say that they need to look into the matter.  Other times they might admit to being wrong or they might still say that they are right, even if they might realize that they are wrong.

Sometimes the way that we respond might end up affecting our reputation on the forum, and maybe sometimes it might be better to wait a few days before responding or maybe just to leave the topic (like you mentioned that some members will do).  I remember some posts from a few months ago that I had bookmarked, and I intended to get back to them within a few days or perhaps a week or two at most, but for some reason, time flew by and I was not able to get back to those posts, and with the passage of time, I consider that maybe there is no real need for me to get back to the posts even though I had somewhat formulated some possible responses in my head, but if I did not respond and I did not actually type out my response, I have not completely addressed the matter, and it still hangs out there, yet the more time that passes, the harder it may well become to go back and to respond to those earlier raised ideas - even though sometimes, we will witness members responding to posts that were many months earlier, and sometimes it can still work out to address the subject matter at a later date.. yet perhaps raising a need to address why there was such a delay in responding.

But yeah some members may well not even be genuine in terms of their posts. They raise various questions, and they start potentially provocative threads, yet they do not follow up or respond further in the thread, and those kinds of behaviors may well end up negatively affecting the member's reputation.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
1 self promotion is all that's needed. If you made your own thread, leave this one be. If not, then yes congratulate yourself. Remember this thread if you ever reach Hero member status and give yourself a pat on the back when that happens.
I didn't made any thread that speaks about my ranking rather my new device that I purchased ", if there were thread made i wouldn't come back here to announce it again.
The other thread was made in reputation about "give your ratings", so there are no thread of my personal ranking.

What about your third thread in the forum (about a year ago) in which you were questioning whether this here cat was human or bot?  Crazy things that peeps do, sometimes?  And, I frequently question why guys (or even gals for that matter) feel so many needs to start threads.. even though many newbies may well be starting threads for an increased likelihood of generating merits (but there is also a "wanna-be-seen" component that likely contributes to thread-starting motivations).

My being known for walls of text might be another dilemma.. in which there cannot be any assurances regarding future walls of text - and so long as no one deletes them, at this time, I don't have any plans to delete or edit any of them... if I do edit any of my posts, then usually such editing would be within the first hour or so of the post, and once in a while I will go back and edit something within 24 hours.  I usually do not edit my posts beyond further out than 24 hours (except in OP posts of the very few threads that I created) .. . but if I were to edit any of my posts, especially greater than 24 hours, then I would likely put some kind of an "edit" note in the post.
I don't think you owe anybody any explanation on your lugubrious writing. Perhaps it's you way of writing and can't be a thing of delima as you said. 

Hahahahahaha

Yeah it is a built-in trait, and surely I recall how pissed off guys would get at or near the times that I was still new to the forum, and you can probably see some of those reactionary posts in the WO thread. .and frequently, when guys complained about the length of my posts, and "advise" me to cut down the length of my posts, frequently I would reply by proclaiming that my post lengths were exactly no more and no less than how much I decide (within my own complete discretion) they will be.  .. so I cannot recall ever giving any ground in regards to my chosen post length or even fairly rarely giving much thought in regards to whether a post of mine might be too lengthy or not.. even though for sure, I will sometimes comment upon the length of my own posts .. and even admit that there may well be times in which a bit of editing and reading through might be helpful in regards to readability.. if a guy (such as this here cat) were to feel that he has enough time to actually engage in such a winnowing pursuit..

What I observe about you is that you alway like to reply multiple people at once, or trying to explain things in a diverse dimension for clarity and full understanding of the reader, but many people find it hard and also annoying, that's why they usually kick against it.

Sometimes I find myself annoying, especially if I go back and read through some of my posts.. .. so there is that angle, too.

But hey.. that's what makes you different from others. at least they should know you for something because everyone has what his know for.

For sure members are going to have some disagreements, and there have been sometimes that I have refused to give an inch on some kind of topic, and it was not even for the reason of believing myself to be correct, but instead because I considered that giving in might not be a good thing to do based on those particular circumstances.  Surely, after the fact, there might be some reconsiderations, yet we need to consider whether we are going to post or not (engage or not with the other member) and then consider the extent to which we are going to give in or if we are going to battle it out, and it is not always an easy choice, including that members are going to differ in their ways of going about these kinds of matters.

I specifically remember a time in which I was berated for being too mean to a newbie in one of my posts, and I understand that my post could have had gone either way in terms of its level of mean-ness, including that the difference between mean and not mean might merely be the choice to change a few of the words to be less harsh, and at the time, I largely disagreed with my having had been too mean to that particular newbie - even though there were several times later that I did consider similar kinds of interactions with other newbies, and I reflected upon my earlier interaction about whether I had been "too mean" in my post, and based on those kinds of reflections, I would sometimes moderate my tone just because sometimes the extra level of mean-ness is not really necessary (or helpful), even if the newbie might seem to be engaging in a kind of trolling behavior. yet it still might be ambiguous in regards to whether the newbie is trolling or not..

How you leave your life and how I leave my life can not be thesame. There is no point trying to please another and displease yourself.

True, yet sometimes it can be helpful to interact and to ask questions with other forum members in order to attempt to figure out why they post the way that they do, and sometimes when we interact with other members, we can figure out if they are being genuine or not.... because I tend to NOT be as much worried about whether I agree with someone or not, but I am concerned with some members who might make certain strong stances on a topic but without providing explanations for how they reached their strong stances.

And moreover it has been you pattern for long, or do I call it your way of posting. Editing any of your post does not change anything. Those that find it interesting will still read it, no matter how cumbersome it might be.

Part of the reason that I had mentioned editing earlier on is that I find it problematic when it is discovered that members will go back in their forum history and delete and/or edit their posts.  Sure, there might be times in which it is acceptable to edit posts, especially within the first hours or even up to a day of posting, especially if some clarification might be needed.. but if the post has been outstanding for a while and/or if the post had been cited by other members, then it may no longer be reasonable to edit the post - absent some kind of notation at the bottom of the post to clarify that the post had been edited.

I am still a Sr. Member. But I am happy to say that I already reached 750+ Merits and this is something I consider a good achievement for me. Some of my forum friends helped me to reach this milestone by giving good advice, some of them criticized me when I made mistakes, and some of them helped me give merits to my posts and threads that I created.

The last month was a great thing for me when I was on the DT network for the first time and I want to thank my friend 1miau for that. Thanks to my locals who have helped with their words and appreciation when I did something good.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
This is it? Is this how you are celebrating your rank that is the highest of all!
It's just that I'm not really celebrating. I always saw the threads that were opened before you created this one as a mixture of merit fishing and vanity exhibition, and I never opened a self-congratulatory thread because of that.

Actually it's cool to get to Legendary but it was something that was foreseen to happen because I've had enough merit for a long time and I was going to get there. So it has been rather monotonous, that's why I didn't write a celebration in this thread, it has been rather a confirmation. And that's why I say that I think it's a good idea your thread, to concentrate all these posts here. In fact, if this thread didn't exist, I wouldn't have written anything about having reached Legendary rank.
You need to hire JJG and ask him to write some wall of text for you and then post it 😉
Let's see if JayJuanGee has notifications turned on and wants to write something about it.

He is, in my opinion, the best merit source, btw, the one who spends the most time reading threads on the forum. Sometimes some old threads, and giving merit to posts he finds to be constructive.

I don't use notifications, and so I came across the above-cited post (14 months after it was posted) and this thread by just reading through some of the posts.. which sometimes does result in skimming rather than reading in detail. 

I do sometimes send smerits even when I don't completely understand the posts (or agree with the contents)... yet I might consider the post to potentially contribute towards someone else's thinking or that maybe it appears that interesting ideas were contained therein.

Jolly? I think I've heard that name before. hmm
It may even be more difficult to wait for activities than merit.
Unfortunately I was one of those who was not getting rankup for activity but had enough merit for rank.

But today I got that enough activity and I am a full member of this forum. Today is a very happy day for me because I have reached a certain goal of mine.

I am now a full member😍

Maybe you are a high quality member? and congratulations on your rank achievement

Hero Member rank achieved.


It's really impressive, I saw some of your posts and the merit you get are always higher than your activities. That is an impressive achievement. Maybe you will also immediately get a Legendary Member when your activity is sufficient. Congrats broo

Hero Member rank achieved.
I don't have much to say rather than share my gratitude with all those who have contributed to my learning here in the forum and helped me achieve this new rank.
 
The merit for my Hero rank was earned long ago, but activities were what were holding me back, but I finally reached that rank yesterday. If I start mentioning names, this thread will definitely see a new phase. I appreciate everyone's help, corrections, etc.
 
So far, so good. I have been able to achieve a total log-in time of 43 days, 20 hours, and more with a total of 121 reports to moderators that've come out with 96% accuracy, which is above average.


Well congratulations to you mate, you have really earned all the stats on your profile. Most persons can't relate to how the journey was in the beginning but I think I can recall back then and compare now to clearly see that evolution and change has currently had its toll on you because you have really worked hard for it and achievements is a perfect example to that every growing success.

Next up legendary rank, so gear up although I know with this pace, your merits will get there in no time and I think the only thing that would hold you back will be the activity.

It may even be more difficult to wait for activities than merit.
Unfortunately I was one of those who was not getting rankup for activity but had enough merit for rank.

But today I got that enough activity and I am a full member of this forum. Today is a very happy day for me because I have reached a certain goal of mine.

It seems like I see some members successfully rank up but no one celebrates their achievements here

Yes, for high-quality members, getting merit and ranking up may not be difficult. It may even be more difficult to wait for activities than merit. Unfortunately I'm not a member like that so ....

I'm also posting here to celebrate my 6 years of existence in this forum and also for ranking up to Legendary (which actually happened months ago, just celebrating it late.  Tongue )
Congratulations, manager! Nice to see your achievement! All the best for your management service as well and hopefully, we'll see you again providing a new campaign for Bitcointalk community, soon!
Your knowledge, your service for everyone here and of course yourself is truly appreciated!

I know it's nothing to be celebrate but I never thought I would come this far with such a small amount time. I began to post in August. And in just 4 months, I ranked up to be a full ranked member with 180 merits and on the way to senior. I truly cannot believe myself. I thought I won't even get a single merits.

As for achievement, I may have something to show. I got an award on BPIP.  I know I know, it's outside of bitcointalk, but it's something. Wink

Congratulations to you on your Hero rank in advance as you have gotten more than the required merits for that rank. Your quality contributions has earned you all those merit and I must say that you deserve it. Keep up the good work, and your can achieve those 250+ that you are hoping to gather, just keep on with your contributions.

Thanks, Sim_card!
I don't know how quality-full my posts are, but I guess the merits I have earned from the posts are well enough to get merited. Thanks for the wish. I always had a feeling that maybe you have been one of my country mates for a long time. But then I came to know you are from a different local board. Your choice of username is kind of odd. My country mates usually choose this kind of username. I remember you have posted many posts in a same thread due to the cloudflare issues  Tongue, I wish you good luck as well. Try to contribute positively and you will reach Hero rank too Smiley.

I won't cease to say congratulations to your new rank and know one thing for sure is that no time is late in terms of posting your achievement, let say you forgot to post but that doesn't mean you can't still post for people to celebrate with you. Being a Legendary member of this forum is worth celebrating including being a known manager as well.
I know no more rank to be achieved anymore rather than increasing in merits sizes just as others did, hoping to see you at 1500 merits.
