My way to senior memberFew months ago, I joined this forum, I was so content with it and happy to be among people here, I did not know what to do, but I wish to rank up. Although, after some times as days gone by, I was able to know few certain things about the forum, I do read what people post, checking the way merited posts are. I tried my best as a newbie and surprisingly received my first merit. It really encouraged me to post more topics and also posting replies. I was able to rank up, it was a great and pleasurable for me. Many ranked members corrected me, I was able to learn from them and know more about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the process, thank you all. And, I am still all ears to correction(s) while also developing myself daily to make the best post.
Appreciation This will be the first time I am appreciating members on this forum, I did not consider myself as a member before until my first goal was achieved, to be senior member has been my first goal on this forum, that has been what really helped me and get me this far, but that does not still mean everybody that register are not members, but just the way I thought to fulfill my ambition. And I am using this period to thank you people to get me to this rank, many of you always see my post worthy and quality. Without you people, I wouldn't have made it far, thank you.
What I have learnt. First of all, I will like newbies to go through these two links:
What I have learnt so far, my advices for newbiesMy experiences so far and my advises for the newbiesThis forum is a great place to be, it helped me such much after I joined, especially while communicating with people, I am able to communicate with people more professionally, even in my home and everywhere I go more than before I joined this forum.
It let me know how people should really be independent of themselves in avoiding scam and how to avoid malicious actors. This is more than someone giving me money. A lot of people are depressed all because they were scammed, some people were financially shaken, some may not recover from scam, some victims can even die. So, this forum is worth more than someone to give me money.
In short, there are many other things I have learnt, I just mentioned few, this forum helps me to know more about life generally, directly and indirectly.
EncouragementI started on this forum as a brand new one March 07, 2020, within these periods, I was able to rank to senior member. There are some people that have the mindset that people do sell merit, that people only give merits to friends and people they know, if thinking about that it will be very difficult to rank up, thinking like this will not get you anywhere, it can only make you not to do the right things. Obeying the rules of the forum, researching and contributing what you think can interest people, posting in the ways posts that are merited are will get you far and high. Be hard working, patient and believing in yourself.
ConclusionI have been on Bitcointalk forum for awhile now, it has really helped me in many areas of life that money may not give, making me conscious how to avoid scammers and helping my communication skills. But, also will mentioned the fact that I have been participating in campaign since I was a full member and earning bitcoin in return.
Topics I created so farI have created as many as possible topics, but these are few I believe have really contributed to quality posts on this forum in which newbies and many other members could have gained from.
