...Can't wait to get rid of the glaring newbie on my profile
1. You love bitcoin.
2. You are new to bitcoin
3. You made a wrong newbie crypto investment
4. You are still a newbie
5. Yet, You hate to be called a newbie.
First, you need to appreciate your newbie status, it is a status you have to look back in 3years time and smile, then you will remember your humble beginning. Having the newbie badge will give you some privileges in the forum. Everyone will want to offer you help to grow. But if things works as you want, you can wear a Hero Member rank but a newbie experience, this would be so disastrous to you. Many information will elude you because it would be assumed you are already an expert in this field.
Be patient and pass through the system, then allow the system to pass through you.
