Topic: It's Been a Long time coming Indeed (Read 333 times)

I'm not confused, though I'm chronically tired, and if I were even a lot more cynical than this forum has made me I'd still call this for what it is: a merit-grab.  OP is obviously trying his damnedest to scrounge up the remaining number of merits necessary to hit Legendary, and no doubt he's noticed all of these self-congratulatory threads and figured he'd take the time to honk his own horn about the most irrelevant statistic of all. 

To all of you guys who are congratulating him, may I suggest that you check your heads, wipe off your glasses, whatever, but see this for what it is and don't blindly go along with what's quite obviously nonsensical bragging (with an agenda).

FWIW, here's my time logged into the forum:



That stat doesn't mean jack bootywhack, because there's no way in hell I've actually spent well over a calendar year on bitcointalk, either reading or posting.  And if I did, whoop tie-doo.

In some places people take advantage of any little opportunity they get to celebrate, with them hearing that word "congratulations" gives them so much joy. Things you don't think is necessary others cherish it so much, and who knows, the OP still has more to say he's grateful for and this might be one of his aim on the Forum which he has been waiting for so long and now he has come out to say it (just say the word congratulations to the OP @lovesmayfamilis😁) not minding if this same thread has been open, all he wants is congratulations. And we're (I don't know about others but I'm waiting) waiting for something to congratulate you for in this Forum.
Congratulations OP.

Congratulations, 100 days stay on bitcointalk is not like hundred days on normal real life, you have done well to have maintain being an active member all through this period, am sure out of your generosity, patience and hardworks are what gives you that confidence to find time in creating a celebration thread like this on your acheivement, it's not only about how long the stay we have on this forum, but how our stay has been made worthwhile, keep doing the good works and i wish you more better days.

@Fivestar4everMVP It's a great moment you have been on this forum for more than 100 days. Congratulations on putting in so much time with this forum, you seem to be a very hard working person. But unfortunately you didn't reach the legendary member but I hope you can reach this position very soon. Anyway, lots of love and congratulations from me to you for sharing this joy of yours with us.

Lol...I was also reading your post with a surprise on what could have generated this aggression but I love the concluding part as it must have been a mood swing. I always like to respect the expression of people because we are not the same, what is important to me might be worthless to others and vice versa.

The OP's joy made me quickly go to check my logged-in count and I'm still barely 32 days having been active and posting well on the forum for about a year and a half. If someone cares well about the forum and looks back to see what such has achieved, I believe that emotion could set in as we see with the OP and it is not the first.

Congratulations on the achievement. You already have 2000 activities and lack the merits to reach the next rank. I hope you will reach the highest rank very soon. But I guess you do not really have much time joining usual conversation because stake pays more for posting on gambling boards where it's impossible to earn merits no matter how good you writes.

A little correction. He has over 2000 activities at this moment. But he lacks merits for now. He needs another 47 merits to rank up.

Congratulations bro for your achievement but what I want to commend you most is how you created a good number of discussions in the gambling section you're one of the few who keeps the section active and moving so keep it coming, looking forward to seeing more ideas to discuss.

Congratulations! You’ve had quite the journey to get to this point, it would be a crime for you not to enjoy and appreciate this moment and you current stage in this whole process. I look forward to seeing you reaching Legendary, you just have a less than 50merits left to achieve that. It will be amazing if you made that before the end of the year.

Congratulations to you on your achievement of the first 100 days here on this forum, because I know it's not been an easy task, and I'm happy you were able to scale through it successfully. Because just as you said that at day 100 is the period whereby elected government officials in your country give an account of what they have done while in office, I hope you do not forget that it's also the beginning of a fresh start, whereby those same elected government official are given the second chance to perform and correct whatever error they may have made within their first 100 days in office.

I think that having registered in 2016, getting the result of being on the forum for 100 days is not such a big event. And many people can boast of such a number; there is nothing surprising here.
I can also show my login time, for five years it turned out:

My work is connected to the Internet, and naturally, I can almost always be online. Every time I start looking at my "Total time logged in"  when someone creates topics like this.
I wonder what drives you all to create something like this?

Ok, I'm confused (and tired, what's new), but what the actual fuck? You are bragging about your logged in time of 100 days or ... something else?

Here's mine.

 Total time logged in: 374 days, 8 hours and 4 minutes.

Now, nobody gives 2 f's about this "setting", cuz it is always wrong and basically worthless, it just means you never logged out a session.

Yes I had a bad day, sorry, but I feel dumber for even reading this thread. Congrats.

Great! I just checked my profile and discovered that I am 55 days old here.

Same mistake I made. I met bitcoin when it wad around 10k, but someone told me not to buy bitcoin that it was already very expensive. I ended up buying shitcoins which never appreciated.

Same thing I would do if I was a merit source. It is Ratimov that has the habit of pushing people who are close to the next rank

Congratulations brotherly.

Want to congratulate you Fivestar4everMVP his milestone with 100 days on bitcointalk which is full of this impression and has given many posts his contribution, it is not easy with 100 days on bitcoin because it has to take a long time and continue to be active but you have successfully run it.

I am very sure there will be many forum members who will soon reach 100 days of bitcointalk with their highest rank, it's their milestone and their long journey.

It will continue to be with you to stay on the forum.

Congratulations on your achievement, Fivestar4everMVP. To me this is a nice milestone to celebrate although I agree that it would be great if you considered posting it in the thread provided by BitcoinGirl.Club. But it's always possible - having your own achievements thread is fine even though many other users expect it to be well organized in one thread only.

100 days for total login time proves that you have dedication to the forum. You're certainly not the first user to celebrate - but your dedication to this forum is also amazing. I'm not sure when I'll reach the same milestone - but I really hope to be able to post it and celebrate with you guys too.


Fivestar4everMVP only needs less than 50 merit to get Legendary rank. As a merit source - maybe you can speed up his journey there especially if you find some worth good posts. Of course this is just a suggestion - but I'm sure he'll get there soon.

Some interesting stats am seeing here, 8000+ posts puts you roughly at 200th place meaning we have very few people in the 10K post category which should be worrying..do people go on a break after a certain milestone or something??? Anyway discussion for a different day, good luck catching up with @philipma

Otherwise, congratulations to you Fivestar4everMVP 100 days is a long time and this shows the loyalty you have given the forum, toss to more wins  

Congratulations to you my Nigeria brother from another mother. I can see the joy in you for staying this long in the forum and have also achieved a lot too base on your contributions and commitment to the forum. This shows that you are happy to be part of this great community.

When I see forum members celebrating 100+ days in the forum, I begin to ask myself if I can also achieve this because I still have a long journey ahead of me to reach this milestone. You are a motivation to newbies and other users who are yet to give their time to the forum just like you did and I must applaud you for this.

I celebrate with you, and I hope that someday, you will celebrate your 200 days in the forum.

Congratulations buddy! This moment of celebration is almost as press as zasad@'s 100 days on Bitcointalk.

That's a long story of frustration but now that you've energized the forum by contributing again and almost becoming a legendary member, this will be another celebration of your thread.

I hope one day I will come up with 100 days on bitcointalk.

Congratulations on your 100 days in office. Just as you have said, political leaders often celebrate their 100 days as to cross check their achievements and prepare for the days ahead and I must say this that you have been of good importance here as I too have also benefited from your thread. I believe if other members of this platform sees this they would also comment here as beneficiary of the thread you created. Nevertheless, I wish you more meritorious years ahead as you continue your stay on this platform.
Once again congratulations.

Congratulations, reaching more than 100 days indicates your desire to stay here and it is a great achievement. Unfortunately, you missed the activity number for the legendary member, which is often random, but you are close to reaching that rank.
There is a topic dedicated to everyone who wants to celebrate or share their achievements with us.

There is a thread for this kind of celebrations, but in the end it is up to you whether you want to do it in that thread or this one. I congratulate you more than anything else for the joy you show, it's good that you enjoy your stay on bitcointalk even if you're not in the top in bpip.org stats (neither am I).

Touching and cool story bro. 😉 congratulations by 2^256-1 are in order. I'm also planning to celebrate whenever I reach least trusted members from top 250-280 to top 50-100, I'm working on it as hard as I can.😅 6 tags and counting. Lol.

Just remember, always stay true and fair.

While browsing the forum and  listening to the song below..
It's been a long time coming by Tom Jones(YouTube link embedded)

I somehow realized that today, I made it to 100 days in office  .



Politically, "100 days in office" is a very remarkable day, as it is a day that officials, and people who care about the country sit down to access; and to evaluate how much progress the governor or president or chancellor, or whoever involved, has made so far since he or she assumed office.
I don't know about other countries, but this is how it's done here in my country.

But fortunate enough, Bitcointalk is not an office  , but every serious member of this forum still strive to do great things and achieve a good reputation overall, so today marking my 100 days online on this forum, I decided to access and evaluate my overall performance on the forum so far.

I discovered and joined this great forum in the year 2016 through a search about bitcoin on Google, I started my journey here as a newbie, focused 100 percent on the Altcoin board since I was very much into altcoins because as a poor newbie back then, I always felt bitcoin was already too expensive to buy and hold, so I gave all my attention to altcoins alone, I needless say that I was a victim to alot of scams, rug pulls, phishing scams and so on, eventually by the ending of 2017, I became very frustrated and left crypto, as well as left the forum.

Somewhere in-between 2017 and 2020, I remember visiting the forum from time to time and maybe making a few comments here and there, but 2020 was the year I became active on the forum again (can't remember the month exactly), when I came back, I still focused on altcoins believing that I will get lucky somehow, but I learnt the hard way that altcoins aren't asset to hold for the long term, I started buying and selling them by trading, and also started paying attention to bitcoin little by little, and by this, I mean that I started moving away from Altcoin discussion board and start participating in Bitcoin Discussions, while I started buying holdling bitcoin.

Long story short..
Today, I am happy with my life and how far I've come, investment wise, I now believe in bitcoin 100 percent more than I ever did when I started new on this forum, and hold an amount of bitcoin I myself consider as significant.

Forum achievements...
Well, I honestly can not tell how I've done in this area, I mean, we still need others to tell us we've done well to indeed know that we have done well, but going over to bpip.org, I have the stats below


This is nothing, absolutely nothing to compare with the kind of achievements I've seen from my bosses here, but I personally feel happy that, out of over 51,000 active profile on this forum, I am ranked at 655th most recognized.
I do not know what I did that placed me on this spot, I am not a technical person when it comes to bitcoin discussions and cryptocurrencies at large, I also don't have a vast knowledge when it comes to anything that involves technology, but all the same, I am very happy that this forum accepted me, and that some of you find my contents valuable, which is why I am where I am today, and will get to where I hope for tomorrow.

All I can promise is, to always put in all the best effort i can in every post I make, to always learn from everyone, be you a newbie or an OG,  and to also teach the best I know to as many willing to learn to know what I know, so that the next 100 days in office  coming will be worth celebrating as well.
This is my pledge.

And special thanks to everyone that have helped me in one way or the other so far, directly or indirectly, I owe every one of you 🙏.
