Topic: [Newbie to Full Member ranks] Merit Spree for the future of Phil Local Members - page 2. (Read 1058 times)

bitcointalk forum is the best forum for, it can teach you the best lesson in life.
During the peak season, i was here and that’s the time I started here and I learned so many lesson.

1. Be better and stay better - There are times that almost all my post got deleted, and I was banned because of that before but since then, I realized that I have to be better and I have to be more objective so the people here wont report me anymore and will start to appreciate my work. Now, no more post got deleted because I started to read and study first before I post my comment.

2. Never trust someone - This forum teaches me to be more selfish, I got scammed here (through telegram) before using someones name in the forum and ask me to send some ETH and it will be doubled, that time I’m on a greedy mode and because of trusting someone I don’t know that much, my money was gone. This is an eye opener for me, and that time I didn’t do transactions to unfamiliar users.

3. Don’t be greedy - There are so many ways to earn money here but being greedy is one way to stay on track, I learned this from my previous scam experience. Also looking for a campaign should not be more greedy, kase you need to know first if legit ba yung campaign and I also learn na wag basta batas lilipat ng campaign para hinde masira ang reputation mo.

Marami akong natutunan sa totoo lang and I’m hoping na mas marami pa akong malaman na bago dito sana sa susunod na bull run alam ko na kung ano ang dapat gawin.

I think many of you are still lucky, when I reached the full member and was able to install the avatar a few days later there was a merit system that came and some of my posts were deleted so that the position of the full member went down to the members again and I was stuck with this avatar, honestly I just want to release this avatar but I can't because I have to collect a few merits first and it's very difficult.

I've appealed to the meta forum to help release this avatar but no one can and theymose even the moderator can't because there is a merit that makes it difficult for me to go full member and release this avatar.

I've started here last October 2018 and I didn't noticed time flies so fast... Starting as a newbie isn't easy. You have to observe everyone just to understand what they are doing. Although I have someone who guided me when I'm just starting here in the forum but there's too much information that I need to learn in order to keep up with everyone.

Starting as a newbie feels like you were nothing compared to higher ranks. So it serves as my inspiration to earn merits, but I didn't know how to earn one. Is there any basis or criteria for me to receive a merit? I started posting with my basic knowledge, trying to gain merits but it wasn't easy at all. Opportunity came when theymos started an art contest for the 10th anniversary which gave me hope. I submitted different entries trying to earn merits and fortunately, there are some people who appreciated my efforts.

When you started gaining merits continuously, it makes you want to earn more. So I stepped out of my comfort zone, I tried creating my own topic here in the local board, and gladly I received a lot of merits. Now, I'm still trying to improve myself by creating more topics and even stepping a broader board like bitcoin and altcoin discussion and more.

What I have learned from the past year is;
1. if you really want something, go make efforts in achieving it.
2. don't be contented inside your comfort zone if you want to achieve your goal. And that's what I'm trying to do until now. Creating topics just to give informative content and updates to everyone.
3. Lastly, is to continuously grow by improving yourself. Study more about cryptocurrency and blockchain because you can't share anything if you don't have any knowledge about it. And also improving myself by giving quality posts because that's one of the major factors that they are looking in giving merits.

Kindness is our own personal attitude and I'm not sure if I should include it, but being kind, humble, and friendly towards other users will also help you, not just by earning merits but also gaining friends.

A piece of advice sa mga magpo-post ng mga learning experience nila dito, be honest. Do not create stories for the sake of getting merits. Just because many are friendly and willing to help you rank up here ay aabusuhin na natin. I don't have a full load of merits to give kagaya ni OP kaya medyo mas mabusisi ako sa bibigyan.

I've been 1 year of studying about cryptocurrency. But my knowledge aren't enough, so i keep on searching until i discover this forum last december. So i created my account to have an access in all topic that i needed to study, it's been 1 month since i created my account and my  experience in this forum are more on excitement because my knowledge are slowly grow up from what i've learn before up to here. This forum help me a lot even if i discover this forum lately. This forum teach me how can i properly study about bitcoin, altcoins, exchange, wallet creation, making money with no capital and so on. There is a lot of knowledge that can be found here. My memorable experience here that i cannot forget is to have an EFFORT, PATIENCE AND LEARNING. I would like to thank also the creator of this topic that give us a chance to express our feelings on "what is our journey in this forum".

Been in the forum for a little over two years now and i could say that i've learned a lot about this forum and of course about Bitcoin also.

>>I've learned that you can't be rich overnight by joining this forum

Nahikayat kasi ako na sumali sa forum dahil sa may nakita akong kakilala na nakakuha ng higit sa isang milyong pesos dahil sa bounty at tumigil pa nga siya sa pagtatrabaho dahil magfo-focus na lang daw siya sa bounty hunting which is pinagsisihan naman niya ngayon. Akala ko noong una na kapag sumali ka sa forum na ito ay yayaman ka, mapakalaking pagkakamali pala iyon.

>>You need not be a very good english poster to be reputable in this forum

Noong una, akala ko i-check ng mga mods yong mga grammar natin which is hindi naman pala. Kung magpo-post tayo outside local just say what you have in your mind at kung malabo at hindi nila naiintidihan, magtatanong naman sila sa iyo, for clarification of what you have said. Pero mas nakakabuti na rin para sa atin na mag-aral pa ng mabuti paano magsulat ng english, laking tulong ito kung gusto mong kumita dito sa forum dahil it's easy for you to join signature campaign.

>>Don't call other users here, specially foreigner "SIR"

Magmumukha tayong tanga pag ginawa natin ito. May ginawa pa nga akong thread tungkol dito pero binura nga mods, dahil siguro off topic. May nakita kasi akong thread noon na inaakusahan yong Filipino user ng account farming and he explain his/her side at out respect na nasa dugo na nating mga Pilipino ay nabanggit niya ng ilang beses ang "sir" at dahil dito pinagtatawanan siya, Talagang awang-awa ako sa kanya. Alam ko kasi na out of respect kaya tinawag niya yong foreign user na "sir" pero that's not the way the see it.

>>I've learned through this forum that we can gamble online using crypto 

Ito ang pinaka-importanteng natutunan ko kasi it involves money and i must admit na until now pinag-aaralan ko itong mabuti kung paano magsugal ng crypto na kumikita kahit hindi gaanong kalaki pero steady. Kahit low rank user lang ako sa forum na ito pero parang Legendary when it comes to betting, yan ang gusto ko at sana maabot ko yon lol. 

Good Day Everyone,

I've been here in this community during the peak of Initial Coin Offering (ICO) where everyone gets bamboozled due to an increasing cases of a get rich quick earning of cryptocurrencies and ERC20 tokens that can be exchanged by Bitcoins. That was also the year wherein the merit system has not been implemented yet in this community wherein most people does not consider making any substantial post that will truly help the community but rather increasing their post count only to get compensated is their sole reason why they signed up in this community including me. I've also met other Filipino forum member here including theyoungmillionaire, crwth, Silent26 and finaleshot2016. These are the people who inspired me to do a lot better in posting especially when our local section is being swarmed by shitposters. If you will take a look at my previous posts, those are the years where I am active posting and helping other people in their concerns in our Local Section. Unfortunately, I had to Li-Low because of the increasing amount of responsibility in Academic and personal growth. But then it does not stop me from being a lurker in this community just to continue being updated and learning as much as I can.

However, I reached the Rank of Full Member mainly because of the Merit Spree given by other members in the Last 10th Anniversary Contest in Bitcointalk. I received hundreds of merits which warms my heart because of the appreciation of other people in my Artwork making me motivated to post much better in this community. As of now, I am not that active because I am still at my First Year in College. I did not expect such massive amount of workload in the academe. 

But then, I would like share with you what are the realization during my stay here in this community. Since I am not posting that much, I am lurking in some of the interesting topics and dispute in our community.

• I have learned that one of the most reputable and known member in this community Vod and Og has a dispute. And I've realized that there is a pyschological effect when it comes to Trust System and Merit. Those people are the ones whom I look up to but I think if there is a reputation and money involved, there is a greater chance of getting in trouble. 
• You can use this forum to show people what are your talents and skillset which you can use to monetise and benefit from it. As of now I posted a Portrait Commission Service in our Pamilihan and in Services board.
• I have learned to widen my personal point of view with regards to different opinions of other people. Silently reading in Politics And Society Board is a great way to indulge yourself into different scenario in a particular issue.
• This forum helps me to cover some answers from other people if you are having a hard time making decision in a particular scenario in life. I respect poeple who are very technical in answering technical queries. I learned a lot from them.

As of now, I am still learning how forum and cryptocurrency works. And I am being fired up to learn as much as I can because of the people who are wearing Chipmixer..Dunno but most of the people who are wearing those cool sigs are so fvckin intelligent. Hoping to be one of them someday. But for now, focusing in academe than posting crap in this community is much better to do. 

Almost 3years on this forum and I can say that my knowledge is still not enough because this cryptoforum grows every year, and the cryptomarket continues from evolving. Despite of these challenges, I can say that the forum helps me a lot, it makes me a better person and a more discipline in terms of trading, and dealings with other people. This forum teaches me everything, as in my whole journey in cryptomarket. More importantly,

***This forum teaches me to be more thoughtful, responsible and grateful at the same time - Dealing with other people is not easy, we all have different insights on every topic yet because of this forum, I was able to deal with it. The fruit of your work will be huge if you’re responsible, So I learned to follow every instructions and to be more responsible on everything I share into this forum. The forum is my source of crypto knowledge and one source of my crypto income, and I’m so grateful for that, words can’t express how thankful I am.***

I face big challenges before, but the whole cryptomarket teaches me that If I lose big, I will win big one day! and this forum proves that to me. There are so much opportunities in this forum, read every details and instructions then you will be fine! Keep praying and fighting mga kababayan!  

@rosezionjohn, I appreciate your feedback. I already move topic to appropriate section.

I think I know it has the same purpose with cabalism13. This is to asses those newbies or lower rank below senior member. I can think of other way but I hope it's not wrong to have same purpose. Also this time I will be the one who will check it. If moderator found this activity such as spam I cant argue with that.

Rules are very simple. It's just that the first who submitted  dont know how to read first before clicking "Post"

Yeah I did leave a message on the last page pertaining why isnt locked and still expect some to still send their post for other users to notice.

Thanks.

Most merit giveaway threads were either posted at the Pamilihan board or moved there by our local moderator. I guess that is the correct board for topics like this. You can set a good example to the lower rank accounts by moving this there. Upon searching, I also saw that you have another giveaway thread that is still active. Maybe lock it first?

The purpose of this thread is the same with cabalism13's "[DISCUSSION] What have you learned on BITCOINTALK FORUM? Share Your Experiences."

Mukhang hindi klaro ang patakaran mo OP ah

Hello there I post this to give chance to our Local Group who are still in lower ranks from newbie to Full member ranks.

Local Rule: Senior member and above can give their feedback if they feel it but this post is for the benefits of our local lower ranks. They are my priority for this. Thanks. I will self moderate this thread to avoid such spam for those who will comment non sense and for the purpose of your signature campaign.

Ive like everyone to wrap up what you learned so far since you joined the forum which include important rules and information that you gained here. Bring it all. If your account is created for bounty and airdrop. I'm sorry you can't participate here. I will review your posts to make sure you are not a robot created for money grabs. Too much reports for social media posted will not be tolerated.

Rule Only one entry post for everyone. The merits I will give depends on how you can impress me with your answer. Will check on submission on later date.

Here is sample of what you can write here. But this is just an example and please make your own observation.

Example
cryptoaddictchie

Ive been a more than 2 years user already. What captured and struck me most about forum is you have free will to say what you feel but you need to be observant. As a newbie[member rank] during my time Ive got a lot of deleted post. Why? Due to off topic, and wrong posting of topics Ive created. This is the important I always remember.

• Post in right section, you can see and read each section what they are for If your asking about certain altcoin dont be stupid to post it on bitcointalk discussion or your creating a topic about an artist without any relation to cryptocurrency that shit goes to off topic something like that.
• Keep your mouth respectful, automatically if you used cursed in an appropriate way or against anyone is absolute violation here.
• Avoid Burst posting, leave a gap and dont make it obvious youre only after a qouta for a signature campaign. Post naturally like you enjoying what you read then write.

Okay it's your turn. Good luck, They say, first impression last, but prove it that you can change. I am indeed a shitposter before and I admit that but it can change if you focus and give your best on what you do. I'm not a merit source only a concern citizen of this Local section. Maybe in the future I can apply if I feel I'm already worth to apply and served well like our only merit source @cabalism13.

I accept tagalog post if you feel to explain yourself in our own language.

I will locked the thread if enough submissions has been reached. My budget for merit isn't that so high as well but I will be glad to spend it all on our Local members here who can give me satisfying response. Key point here is how you will write and express yourself.
